Muscle stimulator machine full#
The patient goes from a somewhat comfortable feeling, to suddenly feeling the full dosage of the muscle stimulator, which had been turned way up high. Because this connection is so bad, the patient is not feeling what the machine is actually putting out, and if they did they would not be comfortable at all!Īt this point something changes, the wires move or the patient moves and suddenly there is a good connection. When the patient leads do not make good contact, there is a tendency to increase the unit’s intensity up so the patient will feel some output. What tends to happen is that the unit is not actually “shocking” the patient but rather a good connection between the patient and the unit is not being made. These problems can make the connection from the unit to the patient bad. Over the years we have found that 90% of the problems with non-working electric muscle stimulators, pertain to faulty lead wires, electrode pads, or bad conductive gel. Have you ever had one of your patients suddenly jump or yell saying that the muscle simulator is shocking them? Could it be that the machine isn’t working? This makes you wonder if it is just an oversensitive patient, or if is it the machine that is not working. The unit works fine with some patients but not with others.
Have you ever had your patients complain that the muscle simulator you use is “shocking” them? To make things even worse, the problem is intermittent.
