The PROFILE EMS is a symmetrical biphasic neuromuscular electronic stimulator intended for medical purposes, which repeatedly contracts muscles by passing electrical currents through electrodes contacting the affected body area. It is indicated for the following:- Prevention or retardation of muscle disuse atrophy; - Relaxation of muscle spasm;- Muscle reeducation; - Maintaining and increasing the range of motion; - Increasing local blood circulation;- Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis.
An assembly of devices that includes a neuromuscular electrical stimulator as an integral part of a therapeutic ultrasound system intended for the simultaneous delivery of ultrasound and electrical energies for physical therapy, typically to help prevent scar tissue formation in healing tissues and to help reduce muscle spasms and pain; it may in addition be capable of delivering either energy alone. The system is designed to produce a rhythmic contraction/release of injured muscles to promote the removal of metabolic by-products while applying ultrasound treatments.
