Glossary of Medical Terminology

Abdominal or Inguinal Hernia: Occurs when a portion of the abdomen (usu-

ally fat or small intestine) bulge through a weak area of the abdominal wall.

Acute Trauma: An injury resulting from a single event.

Aerobic Metabolism: When the body is able to use oxygen to generate energy

for the body. This is usually seen in long distance events.

Afflicted Joint: A joint that has been impaired or has pain.

Anaerobic Metabolism: When the body can no longer use oxygen to produce

energy it begins to use carbohydrates that are stored in the body. This is gener-

ally used for short burst of energy.

Arterial Circulation: This is blood circulating from the heart out to the body

through the arterials

Atrophied Muscle: when muscle wastes away due to disease, injury, or lack of

physical activity.

Blood Flow Deficiency: The body is not able to properly move blood through-

out the body. Can be caused by a number of different conditions.

Capilary fragility: Capilaries deliver blood to between the arterires and veins.

Sometimes these can become weak and break down and not transfer blood

effectively.

Capilary damage: When there is damage to the capilaries it can cause them to

break down and can even leak into the body.

Cardiac Arrhythmia: An irregular heartbeat. This can mean that the heart is

beating too fast, too slow, or not in a normal rhythm.

Disuse Atrophy: This is caused when the muscles are no longer active and

begin to shrink

Fracture: A break in the bone



Glossary of Medical Terminology

Ischemia: a lack of blood supply to an organ or other part of the body. Usually

affects the heart muscles

Lactic Acid: Waste left in the muscle after working at a high level of exercise for

an extended period of time. Lactic Acid has been known to cause fatigue in the

muscle and is related to muscle soreness

Muscle Re-education: the use of physical exercises to restore muscle tone and

strength after an injury or disease

Muscle Spasm: an involuntary contraction of a muscle that can cause a great deal

of pain.

Muscle Twitch Response: this is a contraction of the muscle that can be felt or

seen, or a movement of the muscle and skin as the muscle fibers contract and

relax.

Venous Thrombosis: a blood clot that forms within a vein.



Safety Information

Never use the Compex Edge on atrophied muscles, muscles with spasms, or muscles

associated with a limb with a painful or afflicted joint

Do not use the Compex Edge for muscle reeducation, to prevent or retard disuse

atrophy, to prevent venous thrombosis, to maintain or increase range of motion, or for

blood flow deficiencies

Do not use the Compex Edge if you have one or more of the following medical

conditions:

• The Edge must not be used on persons with cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, or other

implanted metallic or electronic devices. Such use could cause shock, burns, electrical

interference, or death.

• Do not use the Edge if you have been diagnosed with epilepsy before consulting your

physician

• Do not use the Edge following acute trauma or fracture, or following recent surgical

procedures

• Do not use the Edge if you have critical ischemia of lower limbs, or other serious arterial

circulation problems in lower limbs

• Do not use the Edge if you have abdominal or inguinal hernia

• Do not use the Edge if you have cancerous lesions

• Do not use the Edge over the abdominal region during pregnancy

• Do not use the Edge if you have sensitivity problems or unable to express yourself



• Physician Care: If you are in the care of a physician, consult

with your physician before using the Edge.

• Physician Care: If you have had medical or physical treatment

for your pain, consult with your physician before using the

Edge.

• Physician Care: If your pain does not improve, becomes more

than mild, or continues for more than five days, stop using the

Edge and consult yoru physician.

• Physician Care: Consult with your physician before using the

Edge, becuase the device may cause lethal rhythm disturbances

to the heart in susceptible individuals.

• Long Term: The long term effects of electrical stimulation are

unknown.

• First Use: Never carry out an initial stimulation Do not use the

Edge for the first session on a person who is standing. The first five

minutes of stimulation must always be performed on a person

who is sitting or lying down. In rare instances, people who are

nervous experience a vasovagal reaction. This is of psychological

origin and is connected with a fear of the muscle stimulation as

well as surprise at seeing one of their muscles contract without

having intentionally contracted it themselves. A vasovagal

reaction causes heart to slow down and blood pressure to drop,

which can make you feel weak and faint. If this does occur, all that

is required is to stop the stimulation and lie down with the legs

raised until the feeling of weakness disappears (5 to 10 minutes).

• Cancer: Do not apply stimulation from the Edge over, or in

proximity to, cancerous lesions.
