16. Muscle stretching: pectoralis major<br />

Objective : stretching of noncontractile<br />

structures<br />

Patient position : supine<br />

Electrode positions : proximal <strong>and</strong> distal on the<br />

musculature<br />

Current type : TENS (bi-phasic<br />

asymmetric pulse)<br />

Output characteristic : CC<br />

<strong>Frequency</strong> : 100 Hz<br />

Phase time : 100 µs<br />

Burst : -<br />

<strong>Frequency</strong> modulation : -<br />

Sweep mode : -<br />

Amplitude : motor level<br />

Treatment time : until desired lengthening<br />

has been achieved<br />

<strong>Frequency</strong> of treatment : daily<br />

17. Muscle stretching: triceps surae<br />

Objective : stretching of noncontractile<br />

structures<br />

Patient position : supine<br />

Electrode positions : proximal <strong>and</strong> distal on the<br />

musculature<br />

Current type : Russian Stimulation<br />

Output characteristic : CC<br />

<strong>Frequency</strong> : 100 Hz<br />

Phase time : -<br />

Burst : -<br />

<strong>Frequency</strong> modulation : -<br />

Sweep mode : -<br />

Amplitude : motor level<br />

Treatment time : until desired lengthening<br />

has been achieved<br />

<strong>Frequency</strong> of treatment : daily<br />

Note : • the ratio between<br />

stimulation <strong>and</strong> pause<br />

is 1:1.<br />

• no training program<br />

should be set<br />
