¿Quién puede beneficiarse del estimulador muscular SYREBO TENS y EMS? - Centro de Ictus

Introduction
The SYREBO TENS & EMS unit combines three clinical-grade technologies-TENS (dolor-relief nerve stimulation), FES (functional electrical stimulation), and NMES (neuromuscular re-education). Although numerous studies have shown that electrical-stimulation terapia can be highly effective, it is not suitable for everyone. Below is a concise, evidence-based checklist for you.

Conditional Users ("Talk to Your Doctor First")
You may still use the dispositivo, but only after médico clearance.

• Controlled hypertension or stable cardiac arrhythmias.
• History of cancer >5 years ago and currently in remission.
• Mild sensory loss (diabetic neuropathy) that still allows intensity feedback.
• Pregnancy-related wrist or low-back dolor (TENS only; avoid abdominal pads).

 

Absolute Contraindications – Do NOT Use
Following evidence-based guidelines :

• Cardiac: Pacemaker, ICD, implantable loop recorder, or any implanted cardiac dispositivo.
• Neuro: Epilepsy if pads are placed on head/neck; uncontrolled seizure disorders.
• Vascular: Active DVT, thrombophlebitis, severe peripheral vascular disease.
• Dermatologic: Open wounds, burns, skin infections, or allergic reaction to gel pads.
• Systemic: Malignant tumor in stimulation zone, acute fever, hemorrhagic conditions.
• Life stage: Pregnancy (abdominal/lumbar placement), parturition, children <12 years.

 

Quick Safety Checklist Before Every Session
[✓] Skin intact and clean
[✓] No implanted electronics under pad placement
[✓] Intensity set to perceptible but comfortable "músculo twitch"
[✓] Auto-timer (20 min) activated
[✓] Emergency stop understood (remove pads → output stops in 10 s)

 

If you checked every box in the Quick Safety Checklist and your personal situation falls under Ideal or Conditional, you're ready to let SYREBO work for you. Use it consistently, progress slowly, and pair every session with gentle active movimiento whenever you can. Over time, small electrical twitches can turn into real-world fuerza, steadier steps, and dolor-free days-one 20-minute session at a time.
