1. Getting to know your device
1.1 What is Digital TENS/EMS and what can it do?
Digital TENS/EMS belongs to the group of electrical stimulation systems. It
has three basic functions, which can be used in combination:
1. Electrical stimulation of nerve tracts (TENS).
2. Electrical stimulation of muscle tissue (EMS).
3. A massage effect generated by electrical signals.
For this, the device has four independent stimulation channels and eight self-
adhesive electrodes. It has various versatile functions in order to increase ge-
neral wellbeing, alleviate pain, maintain physical fitness, relaxation, revitalise
muscles and combat fatigue. You can either select these functions from pre-
set programmes or determine them yourself according to your requirements.
The operating principle of electrical stimulation equipment is based on
simulating the body's own pulses which are transmitted transcutaneously to
nerve or muscle fibres by means of electrodes. The electrodes can thereby
be attached to many parts of the body, whereby the electrical stimuli are
safe and practically painless. You merely feel a gentle prickling or vibrating in
some applications. The electrical pulses transmitted to the tissue affect the
transmission of stimulation in nerve conductions as well as neural nodes and
muscle groups in the field of application.
The effect of electrical stimulation is generally only recognisable after regularly
repeated application. Electrical stimulation does not replace regular exercising
of the muscle, but is able to reasonably supplement the effect thereof.
TENS, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, means electrical stimu-
lation of nerves through the skin. TENS is recognised as a clinically proven,
effective, non-medication method of treating pain from certain causes. It is
free from side-effects when used properly, and can also thereby be used as
a simple meeans of self-treatment. The pain-alleviating or suppressing effect
