Functional Proprioceptive Stimulations (FPS) are applied on the musculo-tendinous junction. FPS mechanically stimulate the muscle spindles, mimicking the sensory signals – Ia fibers of functional movements. This neurosensory trick activates related sensory-motor areas allowing patients to feel natural movements. Because sensory & motor systems are interdependent, the CNS then reacts by initiating corresponding movements.

These focal stimulations are used for the treatment of pain by the stimulation of skin mecanoreceptors & the gate control effect.

Mode 3 - Spasticity
Regulate the muscular activity

Stimulations are applied in the middle of the antagonist muscle to the spastic one. They induce an incresed activity in the stimulated muscle & a reciprocal inhibition of antagonist/spastic one. For patients with significant spasticity, mode 3 has to be applied through several sessions before applying mode 1 “mobility”.

Mode 4 - Tonicity
Recover muscle strenght

CNS disorders
Fracture & sprain
Balance deficit
Muscular weakness

Targeted actions of mode 4 allow patients to :

tiret increase the muscle tone
tiret recover muscle mass
tiret strenghten motor function
tiret carry out important proprioceptive work

The optimal effects of those stimulations are reached when patients achieve isometric contractions of stimulated muscles synchronously with stimulations.
