PelvicFloor_P1 Smerte
PelvicFloor_P1_fullname Menstruasjonssmerter - Bruk av hudelektroder
PelvicFloor_P1_more Mange kvinner opplever menstruasjonssmerter i løpet av livet. Det medisinske ordet for menstruasjonssmerter er dysmenore.\n\nMenstruasjonssmerter kjennes vanligvis som krampelignende smerter i nedre del av magen. De kan også spre seg til rygg og lår. Noen ganger er smerten intens, mens andre ganger kan den være murrende og konstant.\n\nSmertene starter vanligvis når blødningen begynner og varer normalt i 12-24 timer.
PelvicFloor_P1_start Forsiktighet! \nDu skal IKKE bruke vaginal sensor ved blødning, vaginal infeksjon eller irritasjon.\n1. \\>Du kan enten bruke en vaginal elektrode eller hudelektroder festet over lumbo-sakral området i nedre del av ryggraden. Du kan bruke en (probe), alternativt en eller to (hudelektroder) kanaler ved stimulering.\\<\n2. \\>Hvis du bruker vaginal probe, plasser denne, rengjort og innsatt med fuktighetsgel, i skjeden slik at probens metallplater vender ut mot hoftene. Hele metalloverflaten skal være i kontakt med vaginalveggen. Tettsittende undertøy hjelper til å holde proben på plass. Den best egnede stillingen er liggende på et behagelig underlag med føttene flatt ned på underlaget, knærne bøyd og sammen eller kryss ett ben over det andre kneet for å få bedre kontakt.\\<\n3. \\>Trykk + for å øke intensiteten til du kjenner en behagelig stimulering. Ikke gå høyere enn 40 mA, vanlig nivå er 10-20 mA. Intensitetsnivået må være lavere enn kontraksjonsnivået. Fokuser på muskelavspenning under behandlingen.\\<
PelvicFloor_P1_enc Brukes når som helst ved menstruasjonssmerter. Begrens bruken til 6 timer daglig.

PelvicFloor_P2_fullname Tibialisstimulering
PelvicFloor_P2_more Tibialisstimulering er et mulig alternativ til sakral nerve stimulering fordi de nevrofysiologiske virkningsmekanismene kan være like, men tibialisstimulering er en billigere og non-invasiv metode. Tibialisstimulering er også et alternativ til bruk av vaginal probe.
PelvicFloor_P2_start 1. \\>Plasser elektrodene langs tibialisnerven. Bruk en kanal på et av bena.\\<\n2. \\>Trykk + for å øke intensiteten til du føler en behagelig elektrisk prikking. Ikke gå høyere enn 40 mA, typisk nivå er 10-20 mA. Intensitetsnivået må være lavere enn terskelnivået for kontraksjon. Fokuser på muskelavspenning under behandlingen.\\<

PelvicFloor_P3 Stress
PelvicFloor_P3_fullname Stressinkontinens
PelvicFloor_P3_more Stressinkontinens kalles også anstrengelseslekkasje. Denne typen urinlekkasje er forårsaket av skader på nerver og muskler som støtter blære og urinrør. De vanligste årsakene til stressinkontinens er fødselsskader, tungeløft, kronisk hoste, obstipasjon, gynekologisk kirurgi eller aldersforandringer. Bekkenbunnens støttefunksjon er nedsatt, og underlivsorganene siger derfor nedover. Som et resultat oppstår urinlekkasje ved øket trykk mot blæren når blæretrykket overstiger trykket i urinrøret. I tillegg til dette programmet, prøv gjerne ut EMG biofeedback med probe for å teste hvordan bekkenbunnen fungerer. EMG er også nyttig for å påvirke bekkenbunnsfunksjonen ved aldersforandringer.
PelvicFloor_P3_start STOPP! Hvis din terapeut mener at din tilstand er alvorlig (du kjenner ikke elektrostimuleringen selv om strømstyrken er over 55 mA), start fra PO1 (lavfrekvent program) og bruk dette inntil din sensibilitet normaliserer seg. Du kan gå tilbake til dette programmet dersom du kan klare et knip/hvile program, og når du klarer å kjenne stimulering på lav intensitet (10-20 mA).\n1. \\>Plasser en ren og fuktet vaginal probe i skjeden slik at probens metallplater er inne i skjeden. Metallplatene skal vende ut til siden mot lårene og hele metalloverflaten skal være i kontakt med vaginalveggen. Tettsittende undertøy hjelper til å holde proben på plass. Den best egnede stillingen er liggende på et behagelig underlag med føttene flatt ned på underlaget, knærne bøyd og sammen, eller kryss ett ben over det andre kneet for bedre kontakt.\\<\n2. \\>Dette programmet består av 2 faser: Den første er en oppvarmingsfase. Tilpass intensiteten rolig med +/- knappene til du føler en komfortabel stimulering. Ikke gå høyere enn 55mA. Du trenger ikke å stramme musklene i løpet av oppvarmingen.\\<\n3. \\>Den andre fasen starter automatisk, men på et lavere intensitetsnivå. Du kan nå øke stimuleringen til et behagelig nivå for muskelsammentrekning. Når du kjenner stimuleringen, prøv å knipe bekkenbunnsmusklene sammen og innover, og slapp godt av i hvilefasen. Ikke stram setemuskler, lår eller magemuskler. Pust fritt og tren til du føler deg sliten i bekkenbunnen.\\<
PelvicFloor_P3_enc Gjenta programmet 1 - 2 ganger daglig, 4 - 5 ganger pr uke til du merker forbedringer. Skriv gjerne ned hvor ofte og hvor mye du lekker for å se forandringene.

PelvicFloor_P5 Blanding
PelvicFloor_P5_fullname Blanding av urgeinkontinens/overaktiv blære og stressinkontinens
PelvicFloor_P5_more Blandingsinkontinens, definert som en kombinasjon av urgeinkoninens/overaktiv blære- og stressinkontinens, utgjør en andel på ca. 33% av alle kvinner med inkontinens. Blandingsinkontinens er utbredt blant eldre kvinner og kan enkelte ganger kompliseres av urinretensjon - noe som gjør behandling utfordrende. Vennligst spør din spesialist om elektrostimulering kan være en del av den behandlingen du mottar.
PelvicFloor_P5_start 1. \\>Plasser en ren og fuktet vaginal probe i skjeden slik at probens metallplater er inne i skjeden. Metallplatene skal vende ut til siden mot lårene og hele metall overflaten skal være i kontakt med vaginalveggen. Tettsittende undertøy hjelper til å holde proben på plass. Den best egnede stillingen er liggende på et behagelig underlag med føttene flatt ned på underlaget, knærne bøyd og sammen eller kryss ett ben over det andre kneet for bedre kontakt.\\<\n2. \\>Dette programmet består av 4 faser: To faser med knip/hvile for behandling av stressinkontinens, etterfulgt av to faser med kontinuerlig stimulering for behandling av overaktiv blære.\\<\n3. \\>Første og andre fase er knip/hvile stimulering: Øk mA til et behagelig nivå for muskelsammentrekning. Ikke gå høyere enn 55 mA. Når du kjenner stimuleringen, prøv å knipe bekkenbunnsmusklene sammen og innover og slapp så av i hvilefasen. Ikke stram setemuskler, lår eller magemuskler. Pust fritt og tren til du føler deg sliten i bekkenbunnen. Du kan alltid trykke på SET knappen for å hoppe over resten av fasen.\\<\n4. \\>Andre fase starter automatisk, men på et lavere intensitetsnivå. Du kan nå øke stimuleringen til et behagelig nivå for muskelsammentrekning. Følg samme oppsett som i første fasen.\\<\n5. \\>Tredje og fjerde fase starter automatisk, men på et lavere intensitetsnivå. Disse to fasene har en kontinuerlig stimulering. \\<\nTrykk + for å øke stimuleringen til du kjenner en behagelig prikking og så videre til du kjenner stimuleringen godt, Det vanligste nivået er 40-60 mA.

PelvicFloor_P4 Urge
PelvicFloor_P4_fullname Overaktiv blære (urgeinkontinens)
PelvicFloor_P4_more Overaktiv blære(OAB) er en tilstand som forårsakes av en brå og ufrivillig sammentrekning av blæreveggens muskler. Overaktiv blære skaper en plutselig og ustoppelig tissetrang, selv om blæren inneholder kun små mengder urin. Disse ufrivillige sammentrekningene kan oppstå om natten (en av årsakene til nokturi), men også i løpet av dagen. Sammentrekningene fører ofte til uventet lekkasje av små mengder urin.\nSTOPP! Hvis du tror du har en unormal sterk tissetrang, vennligst snakk med din fastlege for å bli utredet og behandlet. Lavfrekvent elektrostimulering er effektivt kun ved reell OAB. Overaktivitet i blæren kan inntreffe selv når pudendalnerven fungerer normalt. Øket tissetrang kan komme fra bakterielle -eller virusinfeksjoner, nephrolithiasis, i tillegg til svak blærehals, se under.\nVIKTIG! Vennligst få utført en undersøkelse av bekkenbunn med EMG hos spesialist. Svekkede muskler tillater at urindråper slipper ned i urethra og skaper reflektorisk tissing. Dette gir den sammen følelsen som ved OAB, men kan behandles med bekkenbunnstrening og stimulering. I tillegg til dette programmet vil EMG måling gi deg en mulighet til å vurdere hvilken betydningen aldersforandringer i ryggraden har for bekkenbunnsfunksjonen. Elektrostimulering er en trygg, ikke-medikamentell metode for å oppnå bedre kontroll over mekanismer involvert i bekkenbunnens funksjon (innervasjon, blodsirkulasjon muskelfunksjon). En spesialist innen lekkasjeproblematikk kan utføre de nødvendige undersøkelsene du trenger for å velge riktige stimuleringsparametre. En spesialist kan også hjelpe til med en behandlingsplan i tillegg til jevnlige EMG målinger i løpet av rehabiliteringsprosessen.
PelvicFloor_P4_start Bruk: Generell veiledning:\n1. \\>Unngå mat og drikke som irriterer blæren.\\<\n2. \\>Prøv å utsette blæretømmingen. Ikke begrens væskeinntaket.\\<\n\nVaginal stimulering:\nPlasser en ren og fuktet vaginal probe i skjeden slik at probens metallplater er inne i skjeden. Metallplatene skal vende ut til siden mot lårene og hele metalloverflaten skal være i kontakt med vaginalveggen. Tettsittende undertøy hjelper til å holde proben på plass. Den best egnede stillingen er liggende på et behagelig underlag med føttene flatt ned på underlaget, knærne bøyd og sammen, eller kryss ett ben over det andre kneet for bedre kontakt. Tilpass intensiteten på stimuleringen med +/- knappene til et behagelig nivå. Ikke gå høyere enn 55mA. Bruk 1-2 ganger daglig.\nFunksjonell stimulering:\nFor å stimulere det sakrale miksjonssenteret, fest selvklebende hudelektroder på hver side av sakrum, nederst på ryggraden. Du skal kjenne stimuleringen tydelig, men ikke gå høyere enn 15mA. Bruk 2-3 ganger daglig.
PelvicFloor_P4_enc Bruk forebyggende ved reell tranglekkasje for å undertrykke blærens overaktivitet. Bruk daglig i 3 måneder. Resultatet bør merkes noe etter den andre uken med daglig bruk, sjekk etter tre måneder hos din behandler.

PelvicFloor_P6_fullname Bekkenbunnstrening
PelvicFloor_P6_more Bekkenbunnsmusklene er plassert i bekkenutgangen mellom bena og går fra det fremre bekkenbenet (symfysen) til bakre del nederst ryggraden (coccyx). De er slyngeformet med åpning for urinrør, vagina og endetarm. Bekkenbunnen støtter viktige organer som tarm, blære, urinrør og vagina. Urinrør, vagina og rektum er våre naturlige åpninger som holdes på plass når bekkenbunnsmusklene er sterke og reagerer riktig på buktrykk. Svekket muskulatur i underlivet er er like vanlig blant yngre kvinner etter fødsler som for kvinner etter overgangsalder og ved aldring. Behandling med muskelstimulering har også vist meget gode resultater hos kvinner over 80 år.

CustomPhases_P1 CON Tilpasset fase
CustomPhases_P1_ph1i Trykk mA + for å begynne. Kontinuerlig stimulering benyttes som regel i forbindelse med smertelindring eller nevrologisk rehabilitering. I disse tilfellene bør en generelt øke mA til en føler en mild, kriblende følelse. Det er som regel din terapeut som bestemmer passende intensitetsnivå for behandlingen.
CustomPhases_P1_more CON - kontinuerlig stimuleringfase. Dette er den enkleste stimuleringsfasen. Den kontinuerlige stimuleringen har en konstant Hz og mS. Hz og mS er de samme for alle kanaler. Denne fasen er spesielt nyttig for å sette opp TENS-lignende programmer med høy eller lav frekvens. Spesifikk  nervestimulering med 10Hz for overaktiv blære er også vanlig.
CustomPhases_P2 SYN Tilpasset fase
CustomPhases_P2_ph1i Trykk mA + for å begynne. arbeid / Hvile synkron stimulering benyttes som regel til muskelkontraksjon. Her bør en øke mA til du observerer en sterk, men behagelig og ikke smertefull muskelsammentrekning. Det er som regel din terapeut som hjelper deg å bestemme passende intensitetsnivå for behandlingen.
CustomPhases_P2_more SYN - synkron arbeid / hvile stimuleringsfase. Under arbeid gis det en konstant Hz og mS stimulering. Under resten av tiden, måles EMG som gir ytterligere mulighet for å overvåke responsen i muskelen etter og mellom stimulering. STIM SYN fasen har en funksjon der du kan sette inn en forsinkelse mellom kanalene, som gjør det mulig å gjøre en stimulering i sekvenser for å utføre kompliserte bevegelser, for eksempel armløft, å stå opp fra en stol, osv. For å bruke en enkel arbeid / hvile stimulering, sett opp STIM SYN fase med Forsinkelse = 0. (alle kanaler begynne stimulering på samme tid). SYN benyttes i  grunnleggende arbeid / hvile stimuleringsprogram og brukes i hovedsak til muskeltrening.
CustomPhases_P3 ALT Tilpasset fase
CustomPhases_P3_ph1i Trykk mA + for å begynne. Alternerende Arbeid/Hvile stimulering brukes som regel  til muskelsammentrekninger av antagonister. Her bør en øke mA til en observerer en sterk, men behagelig og ikke smertefull muskelsammentrekning. Det er som regel din terapeut som hjelper deg å bestemme passende intensitetsnivå for behandlingen.
CustomPhases_P3_more ALT - Alternerende stimuleringsfase. Den ene kanalen stimulerer, mens den andre kanalen hviler. Når den ene kanalen går i hvile, stimulerer den andre. Under hvileperioder, kobles EMG inn og overvåker aktivitet i muskulaturen og muskeltretthet.
CustomPhases_P4 MOD Tilpasset fase
CustomPhases_P4_ph1i Trykk mA + for å begynne. Modulerte stimulering brukes som regel for smertelindring eller nevrologisk rehabilitering. Her bør en øke mA til du føler en mild, kriblende følelse. Det er som regel din terapeut som bestemmer passende intensitetsnivå for behandlingen.
CustomPhases_P4_more MOD - Modulert frekvens (Hz) og modulert pulsbredde (uS) i stimuleringsfasen. Her stimuleres det med høy frekvens og lav pulsbredde i arbeidsfasen, mens det stimuleres med lav frekvens og høy pulsbredde under hvilefasen (dvs kontinuerlig stimulering). Ramp up og ramp down (pulsoppstigningstid og pulsnedstigningstid) kommer inn ved skifte/modulering. Strømstyrken (mA) er lik under moduleringen.  MOD fase er nyttig i forbindelse med for eksempel laging av modulert TENS som er meget bra i forbindelse med smertelindring, motvirker tilvenning.

CustomPhases_P5_ph1i Trykk og hold SET-knappen i 5 sekunder for å stille inn arbeid, hviletid etc. Klar til å begynne? Trykk AUTO og trekk sammen musklene i 3-5 sekunder så hardt du kan. Dette vil justere ditt EMG terskelnivå (nivå for grafen). Trykk AUTO flere ganger inntil grafen er skalert slik at du slapper godt av under terskellinjen, og at du kan trekke sammen muskulaturen godt over terskellinjen. Trykk START for å begynne, følg instruksjonene på skjermen og gjør voluntære kontraksjoner.
CustomPhases_P5_more EMG fasen kan programmeres slik at du kan selv kan bestemme treningen/mengden av voluntære sammentrekninger av muskulaturen.  Trykk og hold SET-knappen inne i 5 sekunder for å sette opp arbeid, hvile, antall repetisjoner (trials) og resten av parametrene. Gå gjennom innstillingene og trykk deretter på START for å starte treningen. Ditt mål er å følge instruksjonene. Når du ser pilene blinke oppover, skal du trekke sammen muskulaturen. Når pilene blinker nedover, skal du slappe av. Når du trekker sammen muskulaturen, forsøk alltid å holde grafen over terskellinjen. Når du slapper av, prøv å slappe av så mye som mulig, så raskt som mulig. En god avslapning skal ligge under 4 uV. Angi antall repetisjoner (trials) av arbeid/hvile. Begynn med å trykke START.

SimplePF_P1 Smerte
SimplePF_P1_fullname Period Pain using skin electrodes
SimplePF_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.
SimplePF_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. 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.\\<

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.

SimplePF_P16_fullname Pelvic Floor Work Out
SimplePF_P16_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 hold 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.

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.

Your threshold should be adjusted in such way that when you relax, your graph is below the threshold line (the horizontal line in the middle of your graph area), when you contract, you should be able to reach this line, which plays a role of target which you should hit to trigger the stimulation.\\<\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 to the 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 is reached, the stimulation will appear to help you hold 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.

Rehab_P17 Oedema
Rehab_P17_fullname Oedema
Rehab_P17_more Oedema, also known as dropsy, is the medical term for fluid retention in the body.\nThe build-up of fluid causes affected tissue to become swollen. The swelling can occur in one particular part of the body – for example, as the result of an injury – or it can be more general.\nThis is usually the case with oedema that occurs as a result of certain health conditions, such as heart failure or kidney failure.

Rehab_P18 Pressure Sores
Rehab_P18_fullname Pressure Sores Prevention
Rehab_P18_more A pressure sore is an area of skin that becomes damaged over time when the blood supply to a particular part of the body is reduced or cut off. This can be caused by sitting or lying in the same position for too long. It can be made worse if a person has continence problems. If you notice any red patches anywhere on the skin that do not disappear after a few hours, these may well be pressure sores and should not be ignored.

Rehab_P19 Ulcers reduction
Rehab_P19_fullname Pressure Ulcers Reduction
Rehab_P19_more Pressure ulcers develop as a response to external forces causing localised ischemia (a restriction in blood supply). It is generally believed that external forces from direct pressure, shear and friction over bony prominences cause stresses and strains on the tissue. These stresses and strains occlude circulation, reducing oxygen and other vital nutrients reaching the tissue. Lymphatic drainage is also thought to be impaired, causing a build of metabolic waste.

Rehab_P21 EMG
Rehab_P21_fullname EMG Biofeedback Training to improve muscular management
Rehab_P21_more EMG stands for Electromyography. 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.

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.
