 Rehab X2 Compact Rehabilitation
Clinical Guide

A rehabilitation process could last for many months, sometimes a lifetime. It starts at the hospital or at a clinic, guided by a medical professional, to perhaps continue at home and managed by the patient.

The Cefar Rehab X2 is a small stimulator which could be used for treatment at a clinic or at home. The essence of TeNS and NMES treatments is gathered in one stimulator.

TeNS
(Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)

TENS gives good results in acute and chronic pain condi­tions of many kinds. It is clinically proven and used daily by physiotherapists, other caregivers and top athletes around the world.

High-frequency TENS activates the pain-inhibiting mechanisms of the nervous system. Electrical impulses from electrodes, placed on the skin over or near the painful area, stimulate the nerves to block the pain signals to the brain, and the pain is not perceived. Low-frequency TENS stimulates the release of endor­phins, the body's natural painkillers.

 

TENS is a safe treatment method and has, in contrast to drugs and other pain relief methods, no side effects. It may be sufficient as the only treatment form, but it is also a valuable complement to other pharmacological and/or physical treatments. TENS does not always treat the cause of pain. Consult your doctor if pain persists.

 

Program 1: Conventional (High Frequency) TeNS

  First choice for Acute and Long Term Pain
Effective way to treat pain originating from muscles, ligaments and joints or pain from a lesion in the nervous system

Hip
Pain

Wound Healing

Osteoarthritic
Knee Pain

Neck Pain
Whip Lash

Shoulder
Pain 

 

 Lower Back Pain
Lumbago

Rheumatic
Pain

Menstrual
Pain

  

Treatment Time: 30-60 minutes, 2-4 Times a Day

 

Program 2: Burst (Low Frequency) TeNS

  Most effective for radiating projected pain in arms and legs when you have pressure on a nerve (Rhizopathy) and for conditions with reduced or changed sensitivity to touch 

  

Mononeuropathy
Damage to a single nerve or group. Loss of movement or sensation

Central Pain
Damage or dysfunction of central nervous system

Cervical Rhizopathy
Nerve root compression. Induces radiating pain

Sciatica

Knee 

Treatment Time: 20-45 minutes, 3 Times a Day

 N.B.  Long burst stimulation time can cause muscle aches.  Always start with a shorter treatment time (20 minutes) and build up over time.  Always end treatment with stretching.

Program 3: Modulated Pulse Duration

  High frequency stimulation where the pulse duration varies continuously. This causes an undulating sensation which may be more pleasant than conventional TeNS and is therefore a more effective treatment.
Modulated Pulse treats all the conditions listed under Conventional TeNS (Program 1)

Trapezius
Neck Muscle Pain

Lumbago

 

Treatment Time: No Limit, Min. 30 minutes

Program 4: Mixed Frequency

  Stimulation frequencies switch every 3 seconds giving a combination of High and Low frequency stimulation.
This can offer a more effective treatment for all conditions listed in Conventional & Burst TeNS

Lumbago

Nack Pain
Whiplash

Shoulder Pain

Hip Pain

 Thigh Pain

Treatment Time: Up to 3 Hours per Day


Program 5: Cefar Flow TeNS

  Developed by Cefar Medical
Always use 2 Channels and 4 Pads with Program 7
A modulated pulse duration stimulation is obtained, but as the channels are alternately active a massaging pumping effect is experienced.
This program has been developed to treat large areas (Lower Back) to obtain pain relief together with Massage/Muscle Relaxation. The pumping effect also increases circulation in the stimulated area.

Trapezius
Neck/Shoulder Massage

Lumbago

Thigh Pain

Shoulder Pain

Treatment Time: No Limit, Min. 30 minutes

 

Program 6: Guide to Intramuscular Injections

For Medical Professional used in conjunction with Motor Point Pen (optional extra) to locate optimal injection sites for Botox Intramuscular Injections.

These injections are used to treat:

 

·                Spasticity (spasms of muscles)

·                Dystonia (acute movement and prolonged contraction of  muscles)

·                Facial Hemispasm (spasm effecting one or more muscles of one side of face)

·                Bruxism (grinding/clenching of teeth) 

 

N.B.  Also helps you accurately search for Motor Points prior to a stimulation session. For example in the case of extremely pronounced Muscular Atrophy, it will reliably and positively identify the zone where the electrodes should be positioned.  This is difficult via the naked eye when muscles have shrunk considerably.

 

Program 6: Optional Extras

Motor Point Pen
RSP: £16.99

  • Connect red pin connection to the tip of pen
  • Connect black pin into electrode
  • Apply electrode near area to be scanned
  • Use pen to locate muscle motor points

Gel
RSP: £9.99

  • Apply thin layer of Gel to improve contact between pen and skin

NMES
(NeuroMuscular Electrical Stimulation)

NMES is used successfully both in medical rehabilitation and as a complement to athletic training on all levels.

The goal of electrical muscle stimulation is to achieve contractions or vibrations in the muscles. Normal muscular activity is controlled by the central and peripheral nervous systems, which transmit electrical signals to the muscles. NMES works similarly but uses an external source (the stimulator) with electrodes attached to the skin for transmitting electrical impulses into the body. The impulses stimulate the nerves to send signals to a specifically targeted muscle, which reacts by contracting, just as it does with normal muscular activity.

Electrical muscle stimulation is suitable for all the muscles in the body. It can be used to strengthen muscles weakened by surgery, a fracture, etc., and improve mobility. It is also an excellent tool for stroke rehabilitation, helping patients in handgrip and gait training. Electrical muscle stimulation for rehabilitation purposes should be tried out individually by a physiotherapist or other caregiver for the best results.
