The advantage of the electro stimulation instrument is:
• wide use dependant on the impulse frequency
• easy to use
• portable unit
• independent on the electric circuit – runs on batteries
• not to expensive
Standard programs of electro stimulation:
• the prevention of muscle atrophy due to rest
• strengthening of normally innerved muscles
• the relaxation program and the reduction of muscle tonus program the so called tonolisis
• the electro analgesic program – TENS
• the programs for treatment of urinary incontinence that are based on stimulation of inhibition reflex by stimulation of sensory endings in the perinea region with the goal to reduce the detrusor activity
Special programs for:
• strengthening of the body after giving birth and to strengthen the lower part of the pelvis
• strengthening of the muscles of the haemophilia patients that have often intraarterial bleeding, due to which the have to rest a lot and because of which the inactive muscle atrophy occurs
• the strengthening of feet extensors after cerebro-vascular insult
• the treatment of spasms by strengthening of antagonistic muscles stimulating the reciprocal inhibitory reflex
• the shoulder treatment of hypopleghical patients
• programs for sportsmen to improve the explosive strength, durability as well as improvement of the circulation, by stimulation of muscle capillarity
