Short Description:
The point electrode is designed for targeted electrical stimulation (microcurrents) of the articulation apparatus, specifically the areas of the tongue and oral mucosa.
The use of a point electrode in speech therapy is most often associated with methods of Translingual Neurostimulation (TLNS) or Dynamic Electro-Neuro-Stimulation (DENS).
It is used as part of a complex of speech therapy and neurostimulation to correct speech disorders such as dysarthria, alalia, stuttering, and others.
Key Functions and Effect:
• Activation of Speech Zones: Stimulates nerve endings associated with the brain's speech centers.
• Improved Articulation: Increases the muscle tone of the tongue and improves its coordination.
• Sensory Correction: Contributes to the normalization of tongue sensitivity.
Application:
1. Professional Use: Applied only by qualified specialists (speech therapists, physiotherapists) as part of microcurrent, DENS, or TLNS therapy courses.
2. Precision of Impact: The small size of the electrode provides local impact on specific points and zones of the tongue.
3. Safety: Used in conjunction with the main physiotherapy device (purchased separately).
Attention: Use requires specialized knowledge and must be performed under the supervision of a specialist.
