Russian Stimulator Systems
Russian Stim is often used to treat spinal cord injuries, scoliosis, chronic muscular pain conditions, muscle spasms, and edema.
Russian Stimulators are used for muscle strengthening. It was originally developed by the Russian Olympic Team for Muscle Mass Enhancement. Russian muscle stimulation provides deeper muscle penetration and causes a more complete, strong, and intense contraction of muscle fibers. Russian Muscle Stimulation is similar to Electronic Muscle Stimulation. However, Russian Stimulators have a higher frequency of 2500 Hz divided into 50 Hz packets that allows for a deeper, stronger, yet less painful contraction of the muscle fibers.
The lead wires may wear out slightly faster with a Russian Stimulator Unit, so it is a good idea to purchase an extra set of lead wires.
- Most widely used form of electrotherapy in the United States
- Portable unit technology enables more frequent and less costly treatments
- Interferential current permeates tissues, allowing easier access to deep structures
- Can be used for a wide variety of chronic pain and procedures such as general surgery, hernia repair and gall bladder
