MCP Method    

 

MCP is assumed as cardio-related pulsation of skeletal muscles. In order to synchronize muscles contractions with heart rhythm, Polar belt or ECG electrodes (depending on MCP device’s type) are fixed on patient’s chest. Though, location of sensor electrodes can be atypical. The main goal is to reach "R" and "T" waves' sharp contours.

Four active motor electrodes are applied on the surface of influence area and therefore all the area is divided into 4 zones, which are activated one after one with the next heartbeat, realizing the principle of “carousel” stimulation.

In dependence of device model the numbers of passive electrodes could be 4 or 2. “Carousel” allows each heart cycle support (AC in 1:1 regimen), whereas muscle contractions are alternated according to groups (EMS in 1:4 regimen). Thus the same muscle group works for one heart circle, and then rests for 3 others.

This permits even for deadapted skeletal muscle to restore its energetic potential and work without the signs of fatigue. Thereby, during the work of each of the 4 muscle group in 1:4 mode heart supports is reached in the 1:1 mode.
