m i
- SCAN
• This function adapts the electrostimulation
session to the physiology of each user.
Just before starting the work session,
m i
-
SCAN probes the chosen muscle group
and automatically adjusts the stimulator
parameters to the excitability of this area of the
body. It is a truly personalised measurement.
N.B.: The
m i
- SCAN function operates as
soon as a stimulation cable fitted with
the
m i
- SENSoR system (sold separately) is
connected to the stimulator.
• This function is implemented at the start
of the programme by a short sequence
during which measurements are taken (a
horizontal bar scans the figurine at the left
of the screen).
• Throughout the entire measurement test,
you must remain completely still and be
perfectly relaxed. The
m i
- SENSoR system is
very sensitive: the smallest contraction or
the slightest movement could disturb the
measurement test.
• Note that certain people might feel an
unpleasant tingling sensation during the
test.
• once the test is complete, the symbol
will appear, indicating that the
programme can be started.
m i
- TENS
• The
m i
- TENS function can be used
to considerably reduce the number
of unwanted muscular contractions,
enhancing both user comfort and
treatment efficacy.
• The
m i
- TENS function can only be
accessed for the Acute tendinitis and
Ankle twist programmes.
• For these programmes, the
m i
- TENS
function allows you to control the
stimulation energies while maintaining
them at an effective level and
considerably limiting the onset of
muscular contractions.
• Short measurement tests (lasting 2 to
3 seconds) are carried out regularly
throughout the entire programme.
• There is a test phase after each increase
of the stimulation energies. To ensure the
correct performance of these tests, you
must remain perfectly still during this
time.
• Depending on the results of the
measurement tests recorded by the device,
the level of the stimulation energies may
be slightly decreased automatically.
• It is important always to adopt the most
comfortable possible stimulation position.
Also, you should try to remain still and not
contract the muscles of the stimulated
area.
m i
- RANGE
• This function indicates the ideal energy
adjustment range for programmes whose
efficiency requires vigorous muscular
twitches.
• The
m i
- RANGE function is therefore only
available in programmes that use low
stimulation frequencies (less than 10 Hz).
• For programmes allowing the use of the
m i
- RANGE function, the stimulator checks
whether you are in the ideal energy range.
If you are below the range, the stimulator
prompts you to increase the energy by
displaying
signs.
• once the stimulator has detected your
ideal adjustment area, a square bracket
will appear to the right of the bar graph
of the channel to which the
m i
- SENSoR
system is connected. The figures in this
bracket indicate the energy range you
must work in order to achieve optimal
results.
• If you set the energy level below this
range, the stimulator will prompt you to
increase it by flashing a series of
signs on the screen.
