2. HOW DOES ELECTROSTIMULATION WORK?

Electrostimulation involves stimulating nerve ﬁbres by electrical impulses transmitted by electrodes. The

electrical impulses produced by Compex stimulators are high-quality impulses that are safe, comfortable

and effective and stimulate various types of nerve ﬁbres:

1. Motor nerves to stimulate a muscular response, referred to as electrical muscle stimulation (EMS).

2. Certain types of sensitive nerve ﬁbres to obtain analgesic effects or pain relief.

1. STIMULATION OF MOTOR NERVES (EMS)

With voluntary activity, the brain orders muscles to contract and a command is then sent to nerve ﬁbres

in the form of an electrical signal. This signal is then sent to muscle ﬁbres, which contract. The principle of

electrostimulation accurately reproduces the process involved in a voluntary contraction. The stimulator

sends an electrical impulse to nerve ﬁbres to excite them. This excitation is then transmitted to muscle

ﬁbres and results in a basic mechanical response (= a twitch). This is the basic requirement for muscular

contraction. The muscular response is to all intents and purposes identical to the muscular work

controlled by the brain. In other words, the muscle does not distinguish between a command sent by the

brain or the stimulator.

Programme settings (number of impulses per second, duration of contraction, rest time, total programme

duration) subject the muscle to various types of work, depending on the muscle ﬁbre. Various types

of muscle ﬁbres can be identiﬁed according to their respective contraction speeds: slow, intermediate

and fast ﬁbres. A sprinter clearly has more fast ﬁbres and a marathon runner has more slow ﬁbres. With

good knowledge of human physiology and full control of stimulation settings of the various programmes,

muscular work can be speciﬁcally pinpointed to achieve the desired objective (muscular strengthening,

increased blood circulation, ﬁrming, etc.).

EN

2. STIMULATION OF SENSORY NERVES

Electrical impulses can also excite sensory nerve ﬁbres to obtain analgesic effects or pain relief.

Stimulating tactile sensory nerve ﬁbres blocks pain being transmitted to the nervous system. Stimulating

another type of sensory ﬁbre increases the production of endorphins and therefore reduces pain. With

pain relief programmes, electrostimulation can be used to treat acute or chronic localised pain and

muscle pain.

Caution: Do not use pain relief programmes for an extended period without medical advice.

BENEFITS OF ELECTROSTIMULATION

Electrostimulation is a very effective method for making muscles work:

• With a signiﬁcant improvement in various muscular qualities

• With no cardiovascular or mental fatigue

• With limited stress exerted on joints and tendons. Electrostimulation thereby enables more muscular

work than voluntary activity.

For optimum results, Compex recommends supplementing your electrostimulation sessions with other

commitments, such as:

• Regular physical exercise

• A balanced and healthy diet

• A balanced lifestyle

3. HOW DOES MI (MUSCLE INTELLIGENCE)

TECHNOLOGY WORK?

To access MI functions the MI-sensor cable (not available on all devices) must be connected to the stimulator.

MI-SCAN

Just before starting a work session, the MI-scan function probes the chosen muscle group and automatically

adjusts the stimulator settings to the excitability of this area of the body, depending on your physiology.

This function results in a short test sequence at the start of the programme, during which measurements

are taken.

At the end of the test, the intensity has to be increased to start the programme.

MI-TENS

The MI-tens function limits unwanted muscle contractions in painful areas.

With each intensity increase applied by the user, a test phase occurs, and if a muscular contraction is

detected, the device automatically reduces the intensity of the stimulation.

This function is only accessible in the TENS, Epicondylitis and Tendinitis programmes.

MI-RANGE

The MI-range function indicates the ideal range for adjusting stimulation intensity, to be followed in the

following programmes: recovery, massage, capillarisation or even muscle pain.

When the device has detected the ideal intensity range, check mark will appear on the screen. For optimum

work, intensity should be kept within this range.

Not all devices have MI technology. The table below shows which functions are available with each device.

BATTERY LEVEL AND CHARGING

Battery performance depends on the programme and the stimulation intensity applied. It is strongly

recommended to fully charge the battery before its ﬁrst use to improve its performance and life span. Always

use the charger supplied by Compex to recharge the battery.

If the device is not going to be used for over 3 months, ensure that the battery is fully charged. If the device

is not going to be used for over 6 months, ensure that the battery is fully charged and remove it from the

stimulator. Switch the stimulator off before removing the battery.

BATTERY LEVEL

The battery charge level is shown by a battery icon in the bottom left of the screen. The battery icon ﬂashes

when the battery is completely ﬂat. The device can then no longer be used. Recharge it immediately.

RECHARGING

5. TROUBLESHOOTING

ELECTRODE FAULT

The device emits a tone and alternately displays the pair of electrodes symbol and an arrow pointing towards

the channel on which a problem has been detected. In the above example, the stimulator has detected an

error on channel 1.

Check that the electrodes are connected to this channel.

If electrodes are old, worn and/or if the contact is poor: try using new electrodes.

Try using the stimulation cable on a different channel. If the cable is still faulty, replace it

(www.compexstore.com).

STIMULATION DOES NOT PRODUCE THE USUAL SENSATION

Check that all settings are correct and check electrodes are properly positioned.

Change the position of the electrodes slightly.

STIMULATION CAUSES DISCOMFORT

Electrodes lose their adhesive capacity and no longer provide suitable contact with skin.

Electrodes are worn and must be replaced.

Change the position of the electrodes slightly.

16

EN

THE STIMULATOR IS NOT WORKING

When an error screen is displayed during use, note the error number (in the example, the error number is

1/0/0) and contact the Compex-approved customer service centre.

THE BATTERY IS VERY FLAT

If the following screen appears, switch the device off and connect the charger.

If a battery is very ﬂat, a recovery cycle will start, lasting 2 minutes.

17

EN

When this has ﬁnished, if the battery is working properly, it will start charging; in this case, it is strongly

recommended to perform a charge/discharge cycle for the battery by pressing on the channel 4 button

to launch this cycle, which may take up to 12 hours. If, however, it proves to be faulty, the following screen

appears and the battery must be replaced.
