1. Informs using Mi-Scan and Mi-Action 2. Monitors using Mi-Tens 3. Guides you using Mi-Range With no additional effort...MI-SENSOR - A Sensor that links the stimulator to the electrodes - Key function: measures certain physiological characteristics of the muscle to be stimulated and transfers this data to the stimulator, which in turn analyses the data and adapts its parameters accordingly. - Enhances patient comfort and therapeutic efficiency - Performs the following functions: Mi-Scan, Mi-Action, Mi-Tens, Mi-range |  |
| THE MI-SENSOR PERFORMS THE FOLLOWING FUNCTIONS: |
 | MI-SCAN - Analyses the excitability of the muscle to be stimulated - Determines the chronaxy of the muscle within 12 seconds and send data to stimulator so that it can adapt the pulse width (duration) accordingly. - Adapting the pulse width to the chronaxy of the muscle to be stimulated allows the same muscle response to be achieved with less energy |
 | MI-ACTION - Patient triggers an electrically induced stimulation by voluntary contracting one of his/her muscles - For a patient to fully benefit from MI-Action training mode, muscles need to be well developed. Insufficiently developed muscles may prevent the triggering of the electrically induced contraction - Programmes that use Mi-Action have following benefits: o They require active participation of patients and encourage them to become fully involved in their treatment o Allow patients to control their contractions, allowing them to feel more at ease with the system o They optimize performance by combining voluntary and electrical stimulation exercises, which results in more intensive recruitment of muscle fibres o Help re-tone the body and facilitate motor re-education in patients with neuromuscular disorder o They integrate the stimulation of stabilising muscles into a broader functional exercise plan - Mi-Action is only available in for certain programmes - Mi-Action can only be enabled during work sequences (not during warm-up and rest) - First muscle contraction in the sequence is triggered automatically |
 | MI-TENS - Used to reduce the number of unwanted contractions enhancing both user comfort and treatment efficacy - Only available for TENS, Modulated TENS, Epicondylitis and Arthralgia programmes - When activated Mi-Tens controls stimulation energies by keeping them at a effective level and reducing the number of unwanted contraction - Works by performing a series of short measurement tests throughout the programme |
 | MI-RANGE - Used in programmes which depend on the triggering of vigorous muscle twitches to indicate the optimal stimulation energy range - Only available in programmes that use low stimulation frequencies (less than 10Hz) - When Mi-Range is enabled the stimulator will check whether you are working in the optimal energy range. - If level is too low it will prompt you to increase the level by displaying a series of + signs on the screen |
