Medical Staff Vitesse “Our players could sleep or rest with the RSQ1” Vitesse purchased four devices directly after the re-introdcution in the start of 2013. The fact that they have more devices available gives them the possibility to use the full range of possibilities and they aren’t restricted to specific purposes fo teams. Recuperation after a match or training | “Besides supporting the rehabilitation after an injury, we use the RSQ also to support recuperation after a match or training. Because we have multiple devices, it’s easy to let a player sleep or rest with the ‘recuperation protocol’ if we think this is necessary. The better the recuperation, the better a player is ready for a new physical exercise” Rehabilitation of muscle tissue | Another important purpose of the RSQ1 is the rehabilitation after an injury of course. “Apparantly, for almost every injury which is related to muscle tissue, the RSQ1 is a good solution. The RSQ1 makes it possible to stimulate the muscle with a high intensity, but in a controlled manner. This is very important if you want to strength muscle groups without to many physical workload on the joints.”

Ricardo de Sanders

Head of the
Ricardo de Sanders, Head of department Physiotherapy of the Sports Medical Center of the Dutch Football Association (KNVB) “In the end, everyone wants the best possible result, regular patients, but especially elite athletes” Ricardo was already five years the physiotherapist of Ajax, before he became responsible for the department physiotherapy from the KNVB in 2008. In this job, he is also the physiotherapist of Dutch national soccerteam. As in every sport it’s important to keep free of injuries, but also to start a match or tournament in the best possible physical condition to reach the maximum performance. “This could be the difference between winning or losing”. Because most players are in good physical shape when they become selected for the national teams, a complete rehabilitation program not probably, but it can happen in the preparation towards a tournament, or within tournament itself. Increasing role of the RSQ1| De Sanders illustrates the increasing role of the RSQ1 within the Dutch National team, especially for the recuperation of muscle tissue: “A player who has some small hamstring complaints after a training or match will be treated directly with the ‘recuperation protocol’. This protocol results in an increased blood flow and higher saturation of the blood in the treated area, which cause a faster recuperation of the muscle tissue. Before the next training the ‘relaxation protocol’ is used on the same muscle, to lengthen and relax this muscle.” Unique fast recovery | De Sanders gives an example to support his enthousiasm: It has happened that a player sustained a muscle leasion, grade 1 on Thursday with his club, as a result he isn’t able to play on Saturday. When he arrives on Sunday evening for the Dutch National Team, I treat him in the following way: I test his muscle for resistance and stretch pain and when I press, his whole muscle is painful. The same evening and night I let him sleep with the ‘recuperation protocol’ and when I test him the next morning, he doesn’t experience any pain anymore. Monday afternoon he’s able to perform on the training and that’s unique. Normally, the rehabilitation wil take 7 days before he’s fully recovered, which means you are rehabilitating until Wednesday. Now he’s able to play on Tuesday and Wednesday. More and more players with their own RSQ1 | De Sanders isn’t the only one who is enthusiastic about the RSQ1, more and more players of the Dutch National Team got interested in the RSQ1. “A couple of them is convinced by their own results and have their own device, which they use daily during the regular season at their own club.” In addition, always the prescribed protocols of the responsible physiotherapist. Rehabilitation after surgery | Beside all the athletes, De Sanders also treat regular patients in the Sports Medical Center. Most of the patients rehabilitating after a surgery, for example their meniscus or anterior cruciate ligament, will be treated with the RSQ1. After such an intervention the patients suffer from atrophy in their legs. The contractions achieved by the RSQ1 are preeminent to re-activate the muscle without to much physical work load for the knee joint. “Especially in the first six weeks, where you have to be carefull with increasing the workload, the RSQ1 has an enormous added value in muscle strength, it’s really impressive.” Besides other available electrostimulation devices, which are also still used, is the RSQ1 the only devices wich achieve such a fast recovery and increase in musle strength. “That’s the most important feature of the RSQ1, in comparison with other device, in the end everyone wants the best possible result, regular patients, but especially elite athletes.

As announced over the summer, our research department’s second review is about the impact of electrotherapy on recovery after knee surgery. By and large, this was already known, as it is, after all, the clinical evaluation for our CE IIa certification of the RSQ1. Therefore, only scientific studies from the last five years were included

Our research department has made a review of recently written scientific articles describing electrotherapy as a treatment in diabetic patients. Although there are variations in the application of electrotherapy (e.g. active vs passive), or the measured effect on blood sugar levels (short vs long term), there is certainly evidence to suggest that electrotherapy can improve

“I had so much support from the RSQ1 during the rehabilitation” Ron Vlaar is captain and one of the famous players of Premier League Club Aston Villa. He started his professional career with AZ in April 2005. After less than a year, the famous Dutch club Feyenoord signed a contract with Ron Vlaar in January 2006. Before he became the undisputed leader of Feyenoord he suffered from two severe knee injuries. Severe knee injuries | “During the rehabilitation from my second knee injury at the Sports Medical Center of the Dutch Football association, I got introduced to this kind of electrotherapy.” The RSQ1 can be applied in different stages of the rehabilitation process to optimize each seperate stage. The treatment isn’t always relaxing, as Ron Vlaar say: “Heavy and though, but I completely trusted the treatment” Strength training and his own RSQ1 | One of the most limiting parameters after and during a longterm rehabilitation process is the lack of strength as a result of the atrophy. “I experienced it as pretty cool, that after a few treatments I was able to increase the intensity to the maximum level and train with it . This gives me the feeling that I was very strong. Altogether I had so much support from the RSQ1 during the rehabilitation, that I decided to buy my own RSQ1.” Recuperation | Besides supporting the strength training program, the RSQ1 can also be applied, especially around elite sportteams and athletes, to support recuperation after physical exercise. “When I’m physically fit, I use the RSQ1 to recover from a heavy match or training.”
