WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF COMPEX MUSCLE STIM?
Question by: Adam Appleton on 12 Feb 2020 11:33
Compex muscle stim uses very high quality and high comfort level currents.
Muscle stim can be used in an intense way in complete safety:
- Without causing nervous fatigue
- By protecting your joints
- Electrostimulation has no side effects; it is a non-invasive treatment method, often an effective alternative to drugs, for pain treatment.

WHAT IS MUSCLE STIMULATION?
Question by: Adam Appleton on 12 Feb 2020 12:06
Muscle Stimulation is a tried and tested medical treatment method, used for rehabilitation, pain treatment and for training sportsmen and women.
The working principle behind muscle stim is very simple. It faithfully reproduces the process by which muscle contractions are controlled by the brain.
So, with muscle stim, the activity in your muscles is triggered by electrical impulses sent by our devices to the motor nerve. Your muscle cannot distinguish between a contraction triggered by your brain and one triggered by muscle stimulation. This is known as electrically induced contraction.

CAN MUSCLE VOLUME BE INCREASED WITH COMPEX?
Question by: Adam Appleton on 12 Feb 2020 12:10
Yes. The work carried out during Compex sessions (depending on the programme selected) induces adaptations in the muscle fibres, with one of them being the increase in muscle volume.

ARE THERE ANY LONG-TERM RISKS WITH MUSCULAR STIMULATION?
Question by: Adam Appleton on 12 Feb 2020 12:11
No. Muscular stimulation and electrotherapy in general has existed for decades and no problems have ever been found.

IS THERE ANY DANGER FROM BADLY POSITIONED ELECTRODES?
Question by: Adam Appleton on 12 Feb 2020 12:13
No. There is no danger if the electrodes are badly positioned. The stimulation will simply become less effective.

WHERE DO I PLACE THE ELECTRODES?
Question by: Adam Appleton on 12 Feb 2020 12:17
Where to place the electrodes is indicated in the Compex manuals for the different muscle groups.

Guide for Compex Sport Elite recommends 3 programmes for an atrophy of the quadriceps: Disuse Atrophy, Muscle Growth and Reinforcement. As mentioned in the manual, Reinforcement programme should be used only when the muscle has regained normal volume. But Compex SP 4.0 has only 2 rehabilitation programmes: Muscle Atrophy and Reinforcement. Can I use Muscle building from Conditioning category on SP 4.0 like alternative to Muscle Growth on Compex Sport Elite?
Question by: Elena on 8 Oct 2021 22:37
Hi Elena,
As you mentioned the SP 4.0 has the following 2 rehab programs and the goals are:
- Muscle Atrophy: To regain muscle volume on muscle(s) that has been inactive for a long period.
- Reinforcement: To complete rehabilitation once the muscles have reached their normal volume.
