PelvicFloor_P1 Pain
PelvicFloor_P1_fullname Period Pain using skin electrodes.
PelvicFloor_P1_more Most women experience some form of period pain during their lifetime. The medical term for period pain is dysmenorrhoea.\n\nPeriod pain is usually felt as painful muscle cramps in your lower abdomen, which can sometimes spread to your back and thighs. Sometimes the pain comes in intense spasms, while at other times the pain may be dull but more constant.\n\nThe pain usually starts when your bleeding begins, and normally lasts for 12-24 hours.
PelvicFloor_P1_start Caution! You can use the vaginal probe only when the conditions allows you to: no bleeding, no vaginal infection or inflammation.\n1. \\>You can either use a vaginal electrode or external skin electrodes placed over the lumbo-sacral area on the lower spine. You can use one (probe) or one or two (skin electrodes) channels of stimulation.\\<\n2. \\>If using the vaginal probe, gently place the clean moistened electrode probe into the vagina. Place it firmly to ensure the metal part of the probe is within the vagina. The metal plates of the electrode should face side-ways towards the thighs and the whole surface of the metal plates should make contact with the vaginal wall. Firmly fitted underwear will help to prevent the probe slipping out of place. The most suitable position is laying on a comfortable surface with feet flat on the surface with knees slightly bent and kept together or cross one leg over the other knee for better contact.\\<\n3. \\>Press + to increase intensity until a comfortable stimulation is felt. Do not go above 40 mA, typical level is 10-20 mA. The intensity level must be below the contraction threshold. Focus on muscle relaxation during the treatment.\\<
PelvicFloor_P1_enc Use any time when the period pain occurs. Use in moderation. Do not use longer than 6 hours a day.
PelvicFloor_P1_mod Single phase programme with low frequency TENS.
PelvicFloor_P2 Tibialis
PelvicFloor_P2_fullname Tibialis TENS
PelvicFloor_P2_more TENS on tibial nerve is a possible alternative to sacral nerve stimulation, because the neurophysiologic targets might be similar but TENS method is non-invasive and cheaper. Tibial stimulation is also the alternative to vaginal stimulation using the internal vaginal probe.
PelvicFloor_P2_start 1. \\>Place electrodes alongside the tibial nerve. Use one channel only on either leg.\\<\n2. \\>Press + to increase intensity until a comfortable electrical tingling is felt. Don't go above 40 mA, typical level is 10-20 mA. The intensity level must be below the contraction threshold. Focus on muscle relaxation during the treatment.\\<
PelvicFloor_P2_enc Use in moderation. Do not use longer than 6 hours a day.
PelvicFloor_P2_mod Single phase programme with low frequency TENS.
PelvicFloor_P3 Stress
PelvicFloor_P3_fullname Stress Incontinence
PelvicFloor_P3_more Stress Incontinence is also referred as incontinence due to strain and damage on the pelvic floor nerves and muscles that support the bladder. The damage is typically caused by child delivery, weight lifting, coughing, constipation, gynecological surgery, or degenerative changes of the spine. The muscular sagging of the pelvic floor causes the gradual subsidence of the internal organs. As a result the urine leaks at a time of increased pressure on the bladder, when the internal bladder pressure is greater than the force of the urethra valve. In addition to this programme, try out EMG biofeedback and a probe, please check how the pelvic floor is functioning. EMG is also helpful in establishing influence of the degenerative changes in spine over the pelvic floor function.
PelvicFloor_P3_start STOP! If you or your therapist thinks that your condition is severe (you cannot feel electrical stimulation of over 55 mA, organ prolapse occurs) then please start from P01 (low frequency programme) and use it until your sensation goes back to normal and you achieve a better continence. You may resume this programme  if you can withstand a work/rest training and you have a good feeling of low intensity (10-20mA) electrical stimulation.\n1. \\>Gently place the clean moistened electrode probe into the vagina. Place it firmly to ensure the metal part of the probe is within the vagina. The metal plates of the electrode should face side-ways towards the thighs and the whole surface of the metal plates should make contact with the vaginal wall. Firmly fitted underwear will help to prevent the probe slipping out of place. The most suitable position is laying on comfortable surface with feet flat on the surface with knees slightly bent and kept together or cross one leg over the other knee for better contact.\\<\n2. \\>This programme consist of 2 phases: first phase is Warm Up. Slowly adjust the intensity with +/- buttons to feel a comfortable but not discomforting level of stimulation. Do not exceed the level of 55mA. There is no need to contract muscles during warm up.\\<\n3. \\>Second phase starts automatically, but with a safe lower level of intensity. Please increase mA to the comfortable level of muscle contraction. When the stimulation is felt, try to contract muscles and relax them over the rest time of stimulation. Do not contract buttocks, thighs nor abdomen. Breathe freely. Exercise until a fatigue is felt.\\<
PelvicFloor_P3_enc Repeat the programme 1 - 2 times a day, 4 - 5 times a week until it improves. Keep a record of how often and how much you lose urine to see the changes.

PelvicFloor_P5 Mixed
PelvicFloor_P5_fullname Mixed Urge and Stress Incontinence
PelvicFloor_P5_more Mixed incontinence is defined as the combination of stress and urge incontinence, this combination accounts for approximately 33% of all cases of incontinence in women. Mixed incontinence is not uncommon in the elderly female population and can sometimes be complicated by urinary retention, which makes it a treatment challenge requiring staged multimodal treatment. Please consult with the Specialist if the muscular stimulation can be a part of your treatment.
PelvicFloor_P5_start 1. \\>Gently place the clean moistened electrode probe into the vagina. Place it firmly to ensure the metal part of the probe is within the vagina. The metal plates of the electrode should face side-ways towards the thighs and the whole surface of the metal plates should make contact with the vaginal wall. Firmly fitted underwear will help to prevent the probe slipping out of place. The most suitable position is laying on comfortable surface with feet flat on the surface with knees slightly bent and kept together or with one leg crossed over the other knee for better contact.\\<\n2. \\>This programme consists of 4 phases: two phases of Work/Rest for stress incontinence treatment, followed by 2 phases of continuous stimulation which targets the bladder overreaction. \\<\n3. \\>First phase is Work/Rest stimulation. Please increase mA to the comfortable level of muscle contraction. Do not exceed the level of 55mA. When the stimulation is felt, try to contract muscles and relax them over the rest time of stimulation. Do not contract buttocks, thighs nor abdomen. Breathe freely. Exercise until fatigue is felt. You can always press SET button to skip the rest of the phase.\\<\n4. \\>Second phase starts automatically, but with a safe lower level of intensity. Please increase mA to the comfortable level of muscle contraction. Follow the same practice as described for phase 1.\\<\n5. \\>Third and fourth phase starts automatically, but with a safe lower level of intensity.\\<\nPress + to increase intensity until a comfortable electrical tingling is felt. Do not go above 40 mA, typical level is 10-20 mA. The intensity level must be below the contraction threshold.
PelvicFloor_P5_enc The suggested overall length of therapy is 3 months.

PelvicFloor_P4 Urge
PelvicFloor_P4_fullname Overactive Bladder (Urge Incontinence)
PelvicFloor_P4_more An Overactive Bladder is a condition that results from sudden, involuntary contraction of the muscle in the wall of the urinary bladder. Overactive bladder causes a sudden and unstoppable need to urinate (urinary urgency), even though the bladder may only contain a small amount of urine. These involuntary contractions may occur in the night (one of the causes of nocturia) but also during the day. These contractions often lead to unexpected leakage of small amounts of urine. \nSTOP! If you think your desire to urinate is abnormal, please consult your GP for referral to a specialist to establish the cause of the symptoms. Low frequency stimulation is only helpful in case of genuine OAB. Other causes of bladder overreaction may be present when the pudendal nerve is functioning normally, and the desire to pass urine frequently may be caused by bacterial or viral inflammation, nephrolithiasis, as well as a weak proximal bladder neck, see below.\nIMPORTANT! With the help of a specialist, please conduct the pelvic floor examination using EMG. Flaccid muscles allow the penetration of drops of urine into the urethra and cause reflex micturition. This gives the same feeling as urinary bladder OAB, but can be prevented by adequate muscle exercise and stimulation. In addition to this programme, EMG study also allows you to assess the impact of degenerative changes of the spine to the pelvic floor function. Stimulation provides a safe, drug-free method of improved control over the mechanisms of pelvic floor function (enervation, blood circulation, muscle function). A urinary incontinence disorder specialist can undertake the appropriate examinations needed to advise you on a selection of the appropriate stimulation parameters. A specialist can also help in determining a treatment schedule as well as periodic EMG assessment of your rehabilitation progress.
PelvicFloor_P4_start Application: The overall rules: \n1. \\>Avoid foods and liquids which irritate the bladder. \\<\n2. \\>Try to delay the moment of emptying the bladder. Do not limit fluid intake. \\<\n\nVaginal stimulation: \nGently place the clean moistened electrode probe into the vagina. Place it firmly to ensure the metal part of the probe is fully inserted. The metal plates of the electrode should face side-ways towards thighs and the whole surface of the plates should be in contact with the vaginal wall. Firmly fitted underwear helps to prevent the probe slipping out of place. Slowly adjust the intensity with +/- buttons to feel a comfortable but not discomforting level of stimulation. Do not exceed the level of 55mA. Use 1-2 times a day.\n\nFunctional Stimulation: \nTo stimulate the sacral micturition center, stick adhesive electrodes on either side of the spine, at the level of the sacrum. The intensity of stimulation should be clearly felt, but not to exceed 15 mA. Use 2-3 times a day.
PelvicFloor_P4_enc Use as prophylaxis of genuine urge incontinence to inhibit the bladder overreaction. Use once every day for 3 months. The result should be noticeable after the second week of everyday use, after third month please check with gynaecologist.

PelvicFloor_P6 Work Out
PelvicFloor_P6_fullname Pelvic Floor Work Out
PelvicFloor_P6_more The pelvic floor muscles are located between your legs, and run from your pubic bone at the front to the base of your spine at the back. They are in the shape of a sling and hold your bladder and urethra (the tube that urine comes out of) in place. Since we walk on two legs, the pelvic floor muscle group holds in place very important organs such as the intestines, bladder, urethra and vagina. The urethra, rectum and vagina are our natural outlets which are kept in place only when our pelvic floor muscles are in good shape and react properly to intra abdominal pressure. Weakened muscles are common among young women after childbirth as well as women after menopause, and by the weakening of muscles associated with ageing. However it is important to note that muscle stimulation treatment has produced some very good results in women aged over 80.
PelvicFloor_P6_start STOP! If you or your therapist thinks that your condition is severe (you cannot feel electrical stimulation of over 55 mA, organ prolapse occurs) then please start from P01 (low frequency programme) and use it until your sensation goes back to normal and you achieve a better continence.

CustomPhases_P1 CON Custom phase
CustomPhases_P1_ph1i Press mA+ to begin. Most of the time the Continuous stimulation is used for Pain relief or neurological rehabilitation. In these cases, generally you should increase mA until you feel a mild tingling sensation. However, please be advised by your physiotherapist of the suitable intensity level for your custom treatment.
CustomPhases_P1_more CON - continuous stimulation phase. This is the simplest stimulation phase. The continuous stimulation over the set phase time with constant Hz and μS. Hz and μS are the same for all channels. \nThis phase is especially useful for set up TENS-like programmes with high or low frequency. Also, specific nerve stimulation like 10Hz for Overactive Bladder.
CustomPhases_P2 SYN Custom phase
CustomPhases_P2_ph1i Press mA+ to begin. Most of the time the Work/rest Synchronous stimulation is used for muscle contraction. In this case generally you should increase mA until you observe a strong comfortable and not a painful muscle contraction. However, please be advised by your physiotherapist of the suitable intensity level for your custom treatment.
CustomPhases_P2_more SYN - synchronous Work/Rest stimulation phase. During work time the constant Hz and μS stimulation appears. During rest time  EMG is measured which provides additional ability to monitor the muscle response just after and between stimulation. The STIM SYN phase has a function of channel Delay, which makes it possible to set up a sequential stimulation to perform complex movements, such as arm lifting, standing up from a chair, etc. To use a simple work/rest stimulation, set up the STIM SYN phase with Delay=0. (all channels begin stimulation at the same time).\nSYN is the basic Work/Rest stimulation programme and is mainly used for muscle exercise.
CustomPhases_P3 ALT Custom phase
CustomPhases_P3_ph1i Press mA+ to begin. Most of the time the Work/Rest Alternating stimulation is used for antagonist muscle contraction. In this case, generally you should increase mA until you observe a strong comfortable and a not painful muscle contraction. However, please be advised by your physiotherapist of the suitable intensity level for your custom treatment.
CustomPhases_P3_more ALT - Alternating stimulation phase. During odd work periods only channel 1 stimulates while channel 2 has zero mA. During even work periods only channel 2 stimulates while channel 1 has zero mA. During the rest periods the EMG graph is displayed which is useful for muscle fatigue observations. Often this phase is used where it is essential to swing the limb by stimulating alternatively the antagonist (flexors and extensors) muscle groups. During odd work periods the flexors are stimulated, whilst during even work periods the extensors are stimulated.
CustomPhases_P4 MOD Custom phase
CustomPhases_P4_ph1i Press mA+ to begin. Most of the time the Modulated stimulation is used for pain relief or neurological rehabilitation. In these cases, generally you should increase mA until you feel a mild tingling sensation. However, please be advised by your physiotherapist of the suitable intensity level for your custom treatment.
CustomPhases_P4_more MOD - Modulated Hz and uS stimulation phase. The idea of modulated stimulation is that during the Work time it stimulates with high Hz and low μS, During Rest time it stimulates with low Hz and high μS. During Ramp Up + Ramp down time (modulation time) frequency and pulse width are modulating from high to low and vice versa. During modulation the mA level on all channels remains the same. During Work time and Rest time the continuous stimulation appears.\nThis phase is practical for TENS modulated which found to be the best pain-relieving current, modulation works against accommodation effect.

SimplePF_P3_more There are many causes of pelvic floor pain that often coexist with other ailments such as prostate pain, inflammation of the bladder or intestines, constipation and urinary disorders. Pain can also be caused by recurrent, non-infectious inflammation, vaginismus, and inflammation of the coccyx or sacroiliac joints. These symptoms are often accompanied by increased pelvic muscle tone and blood circulation problems. This programme is a typical TENS solution for pelvic pain.

SimplePF_P4 Sensation
SimplePF_P4_fullname Warm Up and Sensation improvement
SimplePF_P4_more Doing warm up stimulation before your voluntary or stimulation workout is important in many ways. A good warm up will gradually increase circulation to your muscles and prepare your sensory nerves for greater stimulation currents during the workout. This programme is also one of the best to start with if a patient is in a weak condition, not feeling the stimulation until well above 20 mA.
SimplePF_P4_start 1. \\>Gently place the clean moistened electrode probe into the vagina. Place it firmly to ensure the metal part of the probe is within the vagina. The metal plates of the electrode should face side-ways towards the thighs and the whole surface of the metal plates should make contact with the vaginal wall. Firmly fitted underwear will help to prevent the probe slipping out of place. The most suitable position is laying on a comfortable surface with feet flat on the surface with knees slightly bent and kept together or with one leg crossed over the other knee for better contact.\\<\n2. \\>This programme consists of 3 phases. Slowly adjust the intensity with +/-buttons to feel a comfortable but not discomforting level of stimulation which invokes muscular contraction. For Warm up, do not exceed the level of 55mA. For sensitivity improvement, the aim is always to keep the intensity below the muscular contraction level. Keep it below 50 mA even if you don't feel it. Even without sensation, this programme gradually builds up your ability to feel your pelvic floor.\\<
SimplePF_P4_enc This is a suitable programme for very weak pelvic floor or after surgery. You may use it  in addition to your main exercise treatment. Your main treatment programme may already have a warm up phase. For the sensitivity improvement, your aim is to start feeling the intensity of 10-20 mA.

SimplePF_P11_fullname Overactive Bladder 1 (Urge Incontinence)
SimplePF_P11_more An Overactive Bladder is a condition that results from sudden, involuntary contraction of the muscle in the wall of the urinary bladder. Overactive bladder causes a sudden and unstoppable need to urinate (urinary urgency), even though the bladder may only contain a small amount of urine. These involuntary contractions may occur in the night (one of the causes of nocturia) but also during the day. These contractions often lead to unexpected leakage of small amounts of urine. \nSTOP! If you think your desire to urinate is abnormal, please consult your GP for referral to a specialist to establish the cause of the symptoms. Low frequency stimulation is only helpful in case of genuine OAB. Other causes of bladder overreaction may be present when the pudendal nerve is functioning normally, and the desire to pass urine frequently may be caused by bacterial or viral inflammation, nephrolithiasis, as well as a weak proximal bladder neck (see below).\nIMPORTANT! With the help of a specialist, please conduct the pelvic floor examination using EMG. Flaccid muscles allow the penetration of drops of urine into the urethra and cause reflex micturition. This gives the same feeling as urinary bladder OAB, but can be prevented by adequate muscle exercise and stimulation. In addition to this programme, EMG study also allows you to assess the impact of degenerative changes of the spine to the pelvic floor function. Stimulation provides a safe, drug-free method of improved control over the mechanisms of pelvic floor function (enervation, blood circulation, muscle function). A urinary incontinence disorder specialist can undertake the appropriate examinations needed to advise you on a selection of the appropriate stimulation parameters. A specialist can also help in determining a treatment schedule as well as periodic EMG assessment of your rehabilitation progress.

This is to make a precise measurement. \\<\n3. \\>Once the leadwire is connected to the probe and the REF wire is connected, press mA+ to begin the Warm up stimulation phase. This will get tissues ready for better voluntary contractions.\\<\n4. \\>The next phase is EMG, you will notice the EMG graph. This graph represents the level of your pelvic floor contraction. Try to relax below 4uV. If the reading of the unit is unstable and your graph does not go down, make sure: a) Your thresholds are set to 10uV or lower b) You use REF wire c) Move away from electromagnetic fields: mobile phones, PC, power equipment. \\<\n5. \\>Press AUTO button and at the same time, contract the muscle for 3-5 seconds. This will adjust the threshold level. Repeat the same procedure until the threshold is acceptable. Your threshold should be adjusted in such way that when you relax, your graph is below the threshold line (the horizontal line which is in the middle of your graph area). When you contract, your EMG should be running above this line.\\<\n6. \\>If you can relax below 4 uV and hold below this level for 10 seconds, then you are ready to begin your active EMG phase. Press START. Your aim is to follow the prompts. When you see arrows flashing up, please contract until you see the relaxation prompt - arrows down. When contracting, try to hold your graph above the threshold line. When relaxing, try to relax as much as you can as quickly as possible. A good relaxation is below 3.5uV. This Contraction-Relaxation circle will be repeated 6 times. \\<\n7. \\>By the end of an EMG session, the statistics will be displayed.

Rehab_P21 EMG
Rehab_P21_fullname EMG Biofeedback Training to improve muscular management
Rehab_P21_more EMG stands for Electomyography. This is also referred as Muscle Biofeedback, when you see your muscle performance on screen. EMG serves two purposes: It is very helpful tool for voluntary contraction exercise. EMG is also an extremely useful assessment tool if you need to evaluate muscle rehabilitation progress.
Rehab_P21_start 1. \\>Identify the muscle you want to measure. Use the Electrodes Placement charts. Attach the electrodes to your body. Use larger electrodes sizes for large muscle groups. You need to place two channel electrodes on the muscle you want to be measured, plus the REF electrode. Each channel has 2 electrodes to be placed. One of the channel electrodes must be placed at the motor point of the muscle. The motor point is usually located at the centre of the muscle mass, where the motor nerve enters the muscle. Another channel electrode should be placed near the upper insertion or top of the muscle. Channel electrodes should be at least 1cm away from each other. \\<\n2. \\>You should always use (REF) reference wire for precise EMG measurement! Please connect the ref wire to the skin electrode of any type, place the electrode pad anywhere on your limb. The position on your body is not important. \\<\n3. \\>Once the electrodes are placed on the muscle and the REF wire is connected, press mA+ to begin the Warm up stimulation phase. This will get tissues ready for better voluntary contractions.\\<\n4. \\>The next phase is EMG, you will notice the EMG graph. This graph represent the level of your muscle contraction. Try to relax below 4uV. If the reading of the unit is unstable and your graph does not go down, make sure: a) Your thresholds are set to 10uV or lower b) You use REF wire c) Move away from electromagnetic fields: mobile phones, PC, power equipment. \\<\n5. \\>Press AUTO button and at the same time, contract the muscle for 3-5 seconds. This will adjust the threshold level. Repeat the same procedure until the threshold is acceptable. Your threshold should be adjusted in such way that when you relax, your graph is below the threshold line (the horizontal line which is in the middle of your graph area). When you contract, your EMG should be running above this line.\\<\n6. \\>If you can relax below 4 uV and hold below this level for 10 seconds, then you are ready to begin your active EMG phase. Press START. Your aim is to follow the prompts. When you see arrows flashing up, please contract until you see the relaxation prompt - arrows down. When contracting, try to hold your graph above the threshold line. When relaxing, try to relax as much as you can as quickly as possible. A good relaxation is below 3.5uV. This Contraction-Relaxation circle will be repeated 5 times. \\<\n7. \\>By the end of an EMG session, the statistics will be displayed. This might be useful to write them down after each session, if you going to see a specialist this data can help to evaluate your progress.\\<
Rehab_P21_enc Use as a voluntary contraction training programme, 2-4 times a day, several days a week. You can combine your workout stimulation programme with this EMG biofeedback training programme. It is a good practice to do the stimulation regularly and EMG programme once a week.
Rehab_P22 ETS
Rehab_P22_fullname ETS [EMG Triggered Stimulation] for neuromuscular re-education
Rehab_P22_more ETS stands for EMG triggered Stimulation. Try EMG before you go to ETS, you will find that ETS is like EMG, with one substantial difference: When you contract your muscle in ETS and reach the threshold, a stimulation will occur which helps to hold the contraction. ETS is a very powerful technique for muscular rehabilitation, especially useful for Incontinence and Stroke rehabilitation.
Rehab_P22_start 1. \\>Identify the muscles you want to train. Use the Electrodes Placement charts. Attach the electrodes to your body. Use larger electrodes sizes for large muscle groups. You need to place two channel electrodes on the muscle you want to be trained, plus the REF electrode. Each channel has 2 electrodes to be placed. One of the channel electrodes must be placed at the motor point of the muscle. The motor point is usually located at the centre of the muscle mass, where the motor nerve enters the muscle. Another channel electrode should be placed near the upper insertion or top of the muscle. Channel electrodes should be at least 1cm away from each other. \\<\n2. \\>You should always use (REF) reference wire for precise measurement of muscular response. Please connect the REF wire to the skin electrode of any type, place the electrode pad anywhere on your limb. The position on your body is not important. \\<\n3. \\>Once the electrodes are placed on the muscle and the REF wire is connected, press mA+ to begin the Warm up stimulation phase.

When you contract, your EMG should be running above this line.\\<\n6. \\>If you can relax below 4 uV and hold below this level for 10 seconds, then you are ready to begin your active ETS phase. Increase mA tot he level of comfortable muscle contraction.  Your aim is to follow the prompts. When you see arrows flashing up, please contract until you see the relaxation prompt - arrows down. When contracting, try to reach the threshold line. As soon as it reached, the stimulation will appear to help you holding your muscle contracted. When relaxing, try to relax as much as you can as quickly as possible. A good relaxation is below 3.5uV. This Contraction - Hold - Relaxation circle will be repeated 30 times. \\<\n7. \\>By the end of the session, the statistics will be displayed. This might be useful to write them down after each session, if you going to see a specialist this data can help to evaluate your progress.\\<
Rehab_P22_enc Use once a day before the stimulation programme or instead of it. This training is found to be more efficient for neuromuscular reeducation then EMG on it's own or stimulation only.
