WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF TUA

The TUA world is the world of those people
who want to feel well with themselves
and in the midst of others. Everyday life,
with its many hardships, anxieties and
commitments, gradually risks dousing our
expectations for the future, together with
the curiosity, the energies and the vitalities
that abound within us. The TUA world
consists of a series of appliances dedicated
to all those who want to stay in shape,
bind together health and beauty and start
(or start again) dedicating themselves to
their well-being. For this reason, entering
the TUA world is as easy and practical as
staying at home: the appliances are used
at home for just a few minutes a day. The
fact that they are battery-driven makes

them absolutely portable. Their carefully
studied ergonomic and innovative design
ensures immediate use and makes them
highly appealing. The TUA world contains
all the technological and scientic
experience of a group that also leads the
way in the manufacture of professional
electro-medical and beauty treatment
appliances preferred by top-ranking
institutes the world over. It is with the
condence that comes to us from the work
of a well-tested team of researchers and
with the guarantee provided by the most
stringent international quality controls
that we say to you too:

welcome to the world of TUA!

ELECTROSTIMULATION

Electrostimulation exploits a natural principle of our body. The brain in fact stimulates muscles
through electro-chemical impulses conveyed to the bres.
In the same way, through its electrodes, TUA TRE’ND conveys special low-voltage currents to the
muscles and tissues. These currents are controlled and absolutely safe, able to cause the passive
contraction of the muscle bres and increase blood ow in the areas involved.
As and from today, all the advantages of electrostimulation are at your disposal.
In human beings, skeletal muscle contraction is controlled by the central nervous system by means
of electro-chemical impulses conveyed through the nervous system.
The electro muscle stimulator is an appliance able to generate specic electrical currents that
cause muscle contraction by substituting the impulses generated by the central nervous system.
In this case, the current is applied at the point where the nerve comes into contact with the muscle
cells (neuromuscular plate).
By modulating a series of variable parameters like the frequency of electrical impulses, duration

of contraction and recovery, etc....various programs can be obtained useful for achieving dierent

goals, strengthening muscle power, toning up beauty treatment, right up to the decontraction of
injured and contracted muscles. Besides the correct positioning of the electrodes (see attached
tables), care must also be given to choosing the right program for the result to be achieved.
On this in fact will depend to a great extent the success of training through induced electric
stimulation.

BENEFITS OF ELECTROSTIMULATION

Training by electrostimulation provides a number of advantages which, when used according to

criteria suited to the specic
context, are such as to
integrate and partially replace
voluntary training. Among
these can be included:

- Selective stimulation of the
muscle group or part of this.

By positioning the electrodes
correctly on the dierent
muscles, a specic stimulation
can be achieved on the
selected muscle. Reducing
activity of the adjacent
muscles to a minimum. This
is unlike what happens in the
case of voluntary contraction,
where the muscles always
work according to specic
muscle chains and synergies.
For example, the selective
stimulation of the quadriceps

muscle, or one of its heads (like the vastus medialis) can be achieved.

- Maximum recruitment of muscle bres. By setting suitable current intensities, the maximum
recruitment of muscle bres can be obtained, something hard to achieve through voluntary
contraction.

- Absence of load on joints. Especially on the spine, where problems in this area often represent a
limitation to physical activity in both sedentary and sportspersons.

- Absence of general body tiredness. This makes it possible to concentrate a high number of
specic intensity training stimulations within a short period of time. A large volume of work is thus
done that would otherwise be impossible, within the same space of time, during the performance
of traditional muscle activity programs.

- Rapid progress. Whether sports training, beauty treatment or rehabilitation after injuries, progress
is always fast. In this latter case in fact, with due parameters, electrostimulation can be promptly
used, thus considerably speeding up recovery and strengthening processes.

MAIN CONTRAINDICATIONS AND WARNINGS

- During the menstrual cycle, skin conductivity changes; stimulation could prove less pleasant.

- Stimulation can cause reddening of the skin where the electrodes are applied, above all in the
case of people with very sensitive skin.
Such reddening is perfectly normal and usually disappears fairly quickly.

- Patients allergic to the gel of the electrodes should suspend treatment and see a doctor.

- Do not apply the electrodes on hyperpigmented areas (large moles) and varicose veins.

- Do not apply the electrodes directly on the breasts but rather on the muscles that support the
breasts.

- Do not use in intimate and delicate areas - armpits, groin, knee cavities.

- Do not use on the abdomen of pregnant women.

- Do not use TUA TRE’ND on children, pace-maker wearers and people in weak psycho-physical
condition or with physiological and organic ailments.

- Do not use on people with metal prostheses, silicone prostheses or aorta-abdominal bypasses.

- Do not use in transthoracic mode to prevent interference with the heart beat.

- Do not use on people suering from epilepsy or multiple sclerosis.

- Do not apply near transplants.

- Do not apply to persons suering from tumour syndromes or major neurological illnesses.

- Do not use on animals.

- IN CASE OF DOUBT, SEE A DOCTOR
