 HOW DOES ELECTROSTIMULATION WORK?

The principle of electrostimulation is to stimulate nerve ﬁbres by means of electrical impulses transmitted by electrodes. The electrical pulses

generated by Compex stimulators are high quality pulses - oering safety, comfort and eciency - which can stimulate dierent types of

nerve ﬁbres:

. The motor nerves, to stimulate a muscular response. The quantity and the beneﬁts obtained depend on the stimulation parameters and this

is known as electro-muscular stimulation (EMS).

. Certain types of sensitive nerve ﬁbres to obtain analgesic or pain-relieving eects.

. Motor nerve stimulation (EMS)

During voluntary activity, the order for muscular work comes from the brain, which sends a command to the nerve ﬁbres in the form

of an electrical signal. This signal is then transmitted to the muscle ﬁbres, which contract. The principle of electrostimulation accurately

reproduces the process observed during a voluntary contraction. The stimulator sends an electrical current impulse to the nerve ﬁbres,

exciting them. This excitation is then transmitted to the muscular ﬁbres causing a basic mechanical response (= muscle twitch). The latter

constitutes the basic requirement for muscular contraction. This muscular response is completely identical to muscular work controlled by

the brain. In other words, the muscle cannot distinguish whether the command comes from the brain or from the stimulator.

The parameters of the Compex programmes (number of impulses per second, contraction time, rest time, total programme time) subject

the muscles to dierent types of work, depending on the muscle ﬁbres. In fact, dierent types of muscle ﬁbres may be distinguished

according to their respective contraction speed: slow, intermediate and fast ﬁbres. The fast ﬁbres will obviously predominate in a sprinter,

while a marathon runner will have more slow ﬁbres. With a good knowledge of human physiology and a perfect mastery of the stimulation

parameters of the various programmes, muscular work can be directed very precisely towards the desired goal (muscular reinforcement,

increased blood ﬂow, ﬁrming up, etc.).

. Stimulation of the sensory nerves

The electrical impulses can also excite the sensory nerve ﬁbres to obtain an analgesic or pain relieving eect. The stimulation of the tactile

sensory nerve ﬁbres blocks the transmission of pain by the nervous system. The stimulation of another type of sensory ﬁbres creates

an increase in the production of endorphins and, therefore, a reduction in pain. With pain relief programmes, electrostimulation can be used

to treat localised acute or chronic pain as well as muscle pain.

Caution: Do not use pain relief programmes for prolonged periods without medical advice.

ELECTROSTIMULATION BENEFITS

Electrostimulation is a very eective way to make your muscles work:

• With signiﬁcant improvement in dierent muscular qualities

• Without cardiovascular or mental fatigue

• With limited stress placed on the joints and tendons. Electrostimulation thus allows a greater quantity of work to be done by the muscles

compared with voluntary activity.

To be eective, this work must involve the greatest possible number of muscle ﬁbres and the number of ﬁbres that are working depends on

the stimulation energy. It is therefore necessary to work with the maximum tolerable energy. This aspect of stimulation is controlled by the

user. The higher the stimulation energy, the greater the number of muscle ﬁbres that are working and, therefore, the more signiﬁcant the

progress achieved. To maximise your results, Compex recommends that you complement your electrostimulation sessions with other eorts,

such as:

• Regular exercise

• Proper and healthy nutrition

• A balanced lifestyle
