ENG Lumbago When? Lumbago is principally the result of a sharp and intense contraction of the lower back muscles (lumbar region). Why? To obtain a reduction in the muscular tension. How? Muscular twitches produced by a very low frequency (1 Hz) reduce the muscle tension during rest of the muscles stimulated. Electrodes Electrodes positioned according to the lower back muscle where you want to reduce tension. See Position of the electrodes. Intensity The stimulation should feel pleasant and give muscle twitches, if possible visible (or at least palpable). Remember that the patient often feels the stimulation before contractions become visible. Option 2+2 Yes. If the patient experiences discomfort during stimulation, the 2+2 function allows this program (ch 1+2) to be combined with a TENS program (ch 3+4) to produce the muscular twitches more quickly and more comfortably.
