TENS & EMS Neuromuscular Stimulator

The SwissSTIM® has been designed and manufactured to the highest standards in order to assist patients recovering from various medical issues that can benefit from the prescribed use of neuromuscular stimulation.

These medical issues include prevention of muscle atrophy, relaxation of muscle, spasms, improving blood circulation, muscle re-education, muscle strengthening and improving range of motion and pain control.

The new EMS/TENS neuromuscular stimulator SwissSTIM® is now available in two versions. SwissSTIM® PHYSIO and SwissSTIM® TRIGGER.

SwissSTIM® 按照最高標準的設計製造，採用電流刺激神經及肌肉的治療方式，幫助患者從各種痛症症狀得到迅速的康復。

這包括預防肌肉萎縮、肌肉痙攣 (抽筋)、放鬆肌肉、改善血液循環、強化肌肉以及改善柔軟度和控制疼痛。

新型 EMS/TENS 止痛脈衝電療儀 SwissSTIM® 現在有兩個版本供選擇。SwissSTIM® PHYSIO 及 SwissSTIM® TRIGGER 專業版。

The SwissSTIM® TRIGGER version come with a remote switch allows the therapist to perform functional stimulation by controlling the duration of the contraction.

Therefore it is strongly recommanded to only use the external remote switch in the presence of a qualified medical practitioner.

The Trigger system consists of an external switch box which plugs into the SwissSTIM® trigger device.

SwissSTIM® TRIGGER 專業版 配備一個外置開關，允許治療師通過控制肌肉收縮的持續時間來執行功能性的刺激。 建議僅供合資格的醫護人員使用。觸發器由一個插入 SwissSTIM® 治療儀的外置開關盒組成。

An important capability of the SwissSTIM® is pain control. Pain, while unpleasant, is an important warning system that alerts us to an actual injury or disease.

Pain is described as either acute or chronic. Acute pain is typically limited in duration and often occurs due to workplace or recreational injuries. Chronic pain is long-lasting, persistent pain that may no longer serve a warning function and thus becomes a problem.

SwissSTIM® has the ability to help relieve both chronic and acute pain.

SwissSTIM® 的一個重要功能是有助控制疼痛。疼痛雖然令人不快，但卻是一個重要的警告系統，可以提醒我們注意實際的傷害或疾病。

疼痛被描述為急性或慢性。急性疼痛通常持續時間有限，並且經常由於因工受傷或運動受傷。慢性疼痛是持久的、持續的疼痛，可能不再起到警示作用，從而成為一種疾病。

SwissSTIM® 有助緩解慢性和急性疼痛。

What is TENS?

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is a non-invasive and drug-free method of controlling pain by the transmission of electrical stimulation to the body’s nerve or muscle fibers through the skin.

Pain relief or suppression is achieved by: Suppressing the transmission of pain in nerves (Gate Control Theory) and Increasing the discharge of the body’s endorphins, which reduces the sensitivity to pain in the central nervous system (Opiate Release Theory).

TENS是什麼？

經皮神經電刺激 (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) 可以減少或阻止疼痛信號傳遞到大腦。物理治療師會把兩個或更多的電極放置在病患者身體的相應部位。

電流通過皮膚傳遞至皮下的神經，使一般涉及傳遞疼痛的神經電路超過負荷，因而可以阻止達到腦的疼痛信息。同時也可以協助身體釋放內啡呔 (Endorphins)，有類似麻醉劑的鎮痛特性。

當儀器啟動時，病者在局部可以感到針刺感及輕微振動。這種治療除了能減輕疼痛外，另一好處是能在不增加風險的情況下，減少服用鎮痛藥。

Principles of Electrical Stimulation

The principle of electrical muscle and nerve stimulation is to stimulate the peripheral nerve fibres of muscles through brief electrical impulses transmitted by electrodes placed on the skin.

These impulses, typically generated by electronic muscle stimulator devices, target both the motor nerve and effect a mechanical muscle response (EMS) and the sensitive nerve fibres, creating analgesic and endorphin effects (TENS).

肌肉和神經電療刺激的原理是通過放置在皮膚上的電極傳遞的短暫電脈衝來刺激肌肉的周圍神經纖維。

這些脈衝通常由電子肌肉刺激器設備產生，以運動神經為目標並影響機械肌肉反應 (EMS) 和敏感神經纖維，從而產生鎮痛和內啡肽 (安多酚) 效應 (TENS)。
