Muscle growth
Effects:
- Increased diameter and capacity of muscle fibres damaged during under-activity or inactivity imposed by some kind of pathological problem
- Restored muscle volume
Usage:
- After a period of using the Disuse atrophy treatment, as soon as the muscle shows signs of a slight recovery of volume or tone
- Until the almost full recovery of the muscle volume
Example:
Disuse atrophy of the quadriceps after a trauma
The quadriceps is a voluminous muscle located in the anterior part of the thigh. It is the main muscle which enables the knee to be tensed; its role is therefore essential in walking, running, climbing stairs, etc. Any trauma caused to a lower member causes atrophy of this muscle, the reduction in muscle volume being more or less significant depending on the period of inactivity.
This disuse atrophy is usually considerable when it occurs after trauma to the knee, particularly if the trauma has been treated by surgery.
The programmes of the REHABITILATION category are specifically suited for treating the alteration of the muscle fibres which results from such a process. The progressiveness of the work imposed by the different recommended programmes is decisive in obtaining optimum results.
The Disuse Atrophy programme should be used in the first few weeks. You should then successively use the Muscle Growth then the Reinforcement programmes depending on the protocol indicted in the user manual of the stimulators which have Rehabilitation category programmes.
NB: some situations, some types of surgery prohibit the early use of these programmes which must always be used with the agreement of a healthcare professional and according to their recommendations.
