GENERAL DESCRIPTION
EMS, Electrical Neuromuscular Stimulation (Electrical Myostimulation), is a
battery-operated pulse generator that sends electrical impulses to electrodes
attached to the body to stimulate motor nerves and cause contraction and
relaxation of muscles. It has proven valuable as a method of pain therapy
and is of great assistance to the experienced therapist.
With some indications, physicians / clinicians can prescribe EMS units to
patients for their use at home.
This unit is a dual-channel digital stimulator for active treatment application,
which has a Liquid Crystal Display indicating operation modes and output, as
well as an 8-bit microcomputer for controlling the system.
The electronics of the unit create electric impulses; the intensity, duration,
frequency per second and modulation of these impulses can be adjusted.
WHAT IS EMS?
An injured muscle usually experiences little if any movement. EMS therapy
remedies this by using low voltages to stimulate motor nerves to cause invol-
untary muscular contractions.
Like exercise, EMS helps strengthen the injured area, and has been found to
effectively treat a variety of musculoskeletal and vascular conditions. Com-
mon candidates for EMS therapy are patients recovering from orthopedic
surgery, muscle strains or tears, or athletes who have undergone cartilage or
tendon repair. EMS is non-invasive and does not use pharmaceuticals.
INDICATIONS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS
Read the operation manual before using this EMS device.
Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physi-
cian.
Observe your physician’s / clinician’s precise instructions and allow them to
show you where to apply the electrodes. For a successful therapy, the correct
application of the electrodes is an important factor. Carefully write down the
settings your physician / clinician recommends.
