For optimum results, use the recommended electrode positions.
A different electrode must be connected to each extremity of the cable.
N.B.: It is possible and normal that large dual-connection electrodes are used in such a way that a connection is not connected.
It is important to select appropriately sized electrodes (small or large) and to position them correctly on the muscle group to be stimulated in order
to ensure effective treatment. It is therefore appropriate to always use the electrode size shown on the illustration. If necessary, try to find the best
position possible by moving the electrode on the muscle until the point that produces the best contraction or greatest comfort is found.
For TENS type programmes, the general rule is to cover the painful area with electrodes.
N.B.: Approximate positioning of electrodes makes the session less effective, but is not dangerous.
2. Body position during stimulation
This position varies according to the muscle group to be stimulated and the programme that you are using.
For programmes inducing powerful muscular contractions (tetanic contractions), it is recommended stimulating the muscle isometrically. Therefore, it
is necessary to hold the extremities of limbs stimulated. This position opposes maximum resistance to movement and avoids any shrinking of muscle
during contraction, which would risk causing cramps. For example, when stimulating quadriceps, you should be in a sitting position with ankles held to
avoid extending the knees.
It is also possible to perform dynamic effort associated with your Compex i.e. perform a voluntary dynamic movement at the same time as the
stimulation; for example, perform squats during stimulation of the quadriceps. But this way of working is reserved for expert users who are
accustomed to the technique of electrostimulation who have already performed complete stimulation cycles (minimum 4 to 6 weeks at a rate of 3
sessions /week). In addition, the introduction of dynamic effort must be very progressive; for example 10 contractions the first week (the remainder of
the session in isometric), then 15 the following week, etc.
In this case, it is also important to perform safe and simple dynamic movements because the addition of electrostimulation to dynamic effort
significantly increases the workload imposed on the muscle. For example, avoid performing dynamic movements with impact (e.g. jumping from a
bench) or adding heavy loads such as weights during exercise.
For the other types of programmes which do not induce powerful muscular contractions but only muscular twitches or tingling, position yourself as
shown on the illustration but always in a comfortable position.
3. Adjusting stimulation intensities
On a stimulated muscle, the number of fibres used depends on the stimulation intensity.
For programmes inducing powerful muscular contractions (tetanic contractions), the maximum stimulation intensities must be used (up to 999) always
at the limit of what you can tolerate, in order to use a maximum number of fibres. The progress of a muscle will be greater the higher number of fibres
that are worked. During a session it is therefore important to try to increase the intensity every 3 to 5 contractions.
For other types of programmes like recovery, massage, capillarisation or even muscle pain which only induce muscle twitches, gradually increase the
stimulation intensities until visible muscle twitches are obtained.
For TENS, Epicondylitis and Tendinitis programmes, gradually increase the intensities until tingling sensation are felt under the electrodes.
4. Progression of stimulation cycles
The stimulation cycles are for people who are already accustomed to electrostimulation and want to perform several training cycles.
The cycle logic refers to the workload performed by electrostimulation. And just like a normal workout, one has to to start with an amount of effort then
increase it over the course of the cycles. Thus, it is recommended starting with the 1st cycle and going on to the next level when the cycle is finished,
normally after 4 to 6 weeks of stimulation based on 3 sessions per week. It is also important to have reached significant stimulation intensities in
sessions before going on to another cycle.
At the end of a cycle you can either start a new cycle or do maintenance training based on one session per week.
N.B.: To be accessible, the Cycles function must be enabled in the device’s settings.
