trouble or accident in a long run although no immediate trouble occurs.

- Store the instrument at a place free from a splash or water. Avoid installing at places
subject to undue humidity, high temperature, dust or places exposed to direct
sunbeam or near to sources of high electromagnetic emission. The instrument must be
used free and not wrapped or covered.

the machine and the cables, it is sufficient a soft duster.

-After a long period of no use, it is advisable to check the correct working of the
instruments.

-The Physio Wave is connected to the electricity by means of the apposite feeder.
Before the connection check, that electric system complies with the requirements in
force in your country.

-Not to disassemble the instruments, there are not pieces that the user can repair.

-Not to remove the labels placed on the apparatus.

-Not to wet the apparatus avoid installing it at open places subject to rain. Not to use
the device after a possible water exposure

-Not to remove the plug from the socket by pulling it; keep the cables out of oils and
objects with sharp edges.

-For the maintenance only use original spare parts.

-The improper use of products and not original spare parts will induce the loss of
warranty.

-It is also forbidden the use of this the apparatus in the water (it is not protected
against the water seepage). Do not use it in environment where combustible gas,
inflammables, or oxygen are present.

INFORMATION FOR THE FIRST USE

Before using the apparatus the first time, it is necessary:

-To carefully read this operating manual

-To check the device to notice possible external defects.

-If at the switching on segments should appear on the display, shut off the device and start
again. In case the segments should appear again, contact the assistance centre without using
the machine.

-If at the switching, the starting window is displayed, the machine is ready to start.

PRACTICAL USE

For a correct use, proceed as follow:

-check that the Physio Wave is connected to the electric system;

-check that the display connection cables are correctly connected.

Switching on and power supply of display and plate

The plate has an alimentation switch ON/OFF. The switch placed ON, also supplies
the display by means of a serial connection.

PHYSIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF VIBRATION

Human body is always exposed to the effects of different type of vibrations: for example
travelling by bus, car or train but also the use of manual instruments such as drills, hammer
etc. As well as the human ear can perceive pleasant or annoying sounds in the same way the
vibrations can be absorbed pleasantly or disagreeably by the human body.
In fact, when we are running or dancing our body is subjected to very pleasant vibrations,
instead vibrations caused by a hammer drill give us very different sensations. The Phisio­Plate vibrations are mechanical stimulus that sollicitate bones, muscles, joints and special
nervous structures (neuromuscular fusis Golgi organs, Pacinian corpuscles, Messner
corpuscles) that in their turn activate the Central Nervous System for the control of the
muscular twitch and movement.

PHYSIO WAVE besides being very useful for sports and rehabilitative treatments it is also a
valid instruments for fitness and beauty applications. The neuromechanical vibration is
extremely effective on tissues and structures of human body
Physio Wave works on:

1) Neuromuscular system;

2) blood circulation;

3) cartilage;

4) bone tissue;

5) hormonal system;

6) neurotransmitters.

25 YEARS OF STUDIES AND RESEARCHES

The studies on effects of vibrations to improve the athletic performances, has been started
since 1980 in occasion of Moscow Olympic Games, by Nazarov.
Since then the various researches carried out by researchers and universities have
highlighted the extraordinary potentialities of vibrations in medical, rehabilitative, fitness and
well-being fields. Today the vibrations are used in any field, also, spacemen use vibrations to
fight the muscular ipotrophy and bony decalcification caused by the absence of gravity during
their stay in the space.

SPORT and FITNESS FORCE AND POWER

Vibrations are very effective in increasing the muscular mass, the mechanical force and
power. Studies carried out on athletes and direct experiences, have been shown that training
with vibration is more effective and less stressful than the traditional training that foresees the
use of overloads.
The training effect is due to the great activation of motor units and to the restriction of the
inhibitory systems that normally intervene on the voluntary movements.
The vibrant training also produces hormonal answers with an increasing of TESTOSTERONE
concentration and Growth Hormone
The increasing of blood circulation induced by the vibratory training, favours the muscular
metabolism and promotes a rapid removal of lactic acid present in the muscle.

FLEXIBILITY AND MOBILITY

Vibrations increases the muscle stretchening causing a greater flexibility and articular
mobility.
The stimulation of Golgi tendons receptors inhibits the twitch of antagonist muscles
decontracting them and favouring a greater capacity of stretching.
Besides these neuromuscular effects, vibrations act as a real massage on tendons, caps and
connective tissues eliminating viscosities and adherence, making easier the tissue sliding,
and increasing the articular amplitude.

LYPOLISIS AND CELLULITIS

Vibration training enables a raising of the basal metabolism that is the caloric requirement in
rest conditions and increases the caloric consumption The secretion of GH (Growth
Hormone), and the improving of blood circulation, increases the calories consumption and
eliminates the body fat. Vibrations are therefore very efficacious to fight cellulites, and they
also have notable benefits on cutaneous and connective tissues.

COORDINATION AND PROPRIOCEPTION

The stimulation of central and peripheral nervous system structures that control the
movement make the vibrations particularly suitable for proprioceptive training, above all in
sports that require high coordination aptitudes.

PROPRIOCEPTION AND REHAB

For the same reason the vibration can be positively used both in post-surgery rehabilitation
(when the proprioceptive articular sensibility is compromised) and to recover patients
suffering from hemiplegia or neuromotor disorders.

HEART AND BLOOD CIRCULATION

The vibrations lead in short time to an optimal well-being state. By using Physio Wave few
minutes per day, peripheral circulation is increased from 100 to 150%, making the venous
return and the lymphatic drainage easier and favouring the pulmonary oxygen catching
thanks to the increase of the respiratory volume.
The circulation increase as well as the increased endowment of oxygen and nutrients produce
good effects that are particularly indicated for person suffering from circulation disorders.

Vibrating-plate effects are very important and they depend on the following values:

-frequency (Hz)

-amplitude (mm)

-acceleration

-duration

-articular angles (degrees)
