INTRODUCTION
The RITM SCENAR® personal devices are designed to deliver general therapeutic non-
invasive therapy to the body’s physiological systems via skin areas, in order to effect
pain management and pain relief.
The RITM SCENAR® devices provide interactive neurostimulation. When the devices
are applied to the skin, electrical impulses adjust and change, the devices read
changes in the electrical properties of the skin.
This interactive neurostimulation not only provides sustained pain relief, but does not
allow the body to accommodate the signal and develop a tolerance to the signal.
This user handbook describes the main features of the RITM SCENAR® device , their
purpose and operation, as well as how to effectively treat painful common
complaints.
TRAINING
More information about different treatment techniques can be found:
• In the USB stick that comes with your device.

• Online – www.ritmscenar.com.au. Please register your details at
www.ritmscenar.com.au/register and your 1 year free account will be
activated in 48 hours from the registration.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
There are specific contraindications and this includes persons who have any type of
cardiac pacemaker, persons who have acute infectious diseases, pregnant women
and alcohol intoxicated individuals.
Also contraindicated is placement of a RITM SCENAR® electrode over malignant

tumours or open wounds.
It is important to note however that RITM SCENAR® is not contraindicated and can be
used on persons who have metallic implants such as pins, plates, and screws nor is it
contraindicated for persons who have had joint or hip replacements.
CAUTIONS
RITM SCENAR electrodes should not come in contact with wet skin. Natural body
secretions such as sweat are acceptable. It is also recommended that jewellery be
removed prior to therapy with the RITM SCENAR®.
Particular caution should be taken when RITM SCENAR® electrodes are placed over
areas associated with phlebitis and thrombophlebitis as these conditions have
increased chance of blood clot formation which could become dislodged during RITM
SCENAR® therapy.
It is important to note that therapy sessions with RITM SCENAR® should not exceed 45
minutes to any specific area of the body and that there should be a minimum of two
hours between therapy sessions to avoid skin irritation.

DEFINITIONS
Amplitude modulation (AM) is a periodic variation of stimuli amplitude (as well as
stimuli Energy). AM is defined as the ratio of the time the device is sending pulses with
preset Energy to that with minimal
Energy. For example, the “3:1” AM setting indicates that the device is transmitting
stimuli with preset Energy for 3 seconds and then with Energy = 1 for 1 second.
Amplitude modulation manifests itself as strengthening and weakening the specific
sensations with a set period.
Dose (*) is a signal to the operator that the rate of skin impedance change has
sufficiently reduced (Dose 1) or changed (Dose 2).
Dosed Stimulation determines the type of dosing provided by the device. When the
Dosed Stimulation is switched ON, the stimulation time for a zone is determined
automatically (Dose 1). When the Dosed Stimulation is switched OFF, the zones to be
treated, stimulation time for each zone and time of the whole session are determined
by the user.
Energy is a parameter determining strength of every stimulus. The Energy influences

stimulus amplitude and strength of stimulation sensation. The higher the Energy, the
stronger the specific sensations felt by the patient.
Electrodes – сutaneous electrodes (built-in electrode and add-on electrodes) that are
applied directly to patient’s skin for electrical stimulation.
Frequency (F) is a number of stimuli (or stimuli bursts) per second, measured in Hertz
(Hz). When Frequency changes the strength and 'volume' of sensations also change.
Frequency modulation (FM) is a periodical change of stimuli Frequency from initial to

final Frequency value and back.
Impedance is determined by the combined physical characteristics of the skin,

defining its ability to absorb the Energy generated by the device.
Stimulus is a single two-phase output pulse.
Timer indicates how long the device is in contact with the patient’s skin.

ON/OFF AND RESET
Four buttons are used to operate the RITM SCENAR® device. Each of the four buttons
can perform a number of functions.
SWITCHING THE DEVICE ON AND OFF

ON – press and hold the button until the device ‘beeps’ once
(within 2-3 sec).
OFF – press and hold the button until the device emits a series
of ‘beeps’ (within 2-3 sec).
Switching the device OFF will reset the energy (output stimulus)
level to a minimum level, but will retain the setting/s.
NOTE – the device will automatically turn itself off after approximately 60 seconds if
no buttons are pushed or if there is no skin contact. If the device is turned OFF using
the above ON/ OFF method the device will RETAIN its settings unless a RESET is
effected. This can also happen with very dry skin -to remedy this rub a small amount of
water on the area and continue therapy. Do not use moisturizers.
RESETTING THE DEVICE

Resetting the device will switch the device back to its factory
default frequency setting of 60Hz (pulses per second).
1. Press and hold the and buttons for a count of

three seconds, then release both buttons together.
2. If a reset has been successful the device will give a series of beeps and the Device
Model will show on the LCD screen.
If you do not hear these beeps, follow steps 1 and 2 again.
WHY DO I NEED TO RESET THE DEVICE?
• To return to device to it’s default frequency setting - the FM, AM, P and Dose
settings will be OFF.
• To rapidly turn OFF the FM, AM, P and Dose settings.
• To quickly RESET the energy to a minimum level.
• After replacing the battery you a reset is necessary.
ENERGY (STIMULUS INTENSITY)
By pressing the or buttons you can raise or lower the output stimulus
intensity strength. Note that the energy can either be raised or lowered by single
depressions of each button, or increased or decreased rapidly by holding the
respective buttons down.
The perception of the energy (stimulus intensity) level from the device will vary greatly
from person to person. This means that energy levels should be selected individually
for each therapy session. DO NOT allow the energy level of the device to be
uncomfortable or painful.
1. The minimum energy level is 1.

2. Therapy should be focused on the point or area where the pain is felt.
3. In an emergency, as well as to rapidly reduce pain, high energy can be used
with continuous movement of the device over the painful area.
4. For young children, or the elderly, it is advisable to begin using the minimum
energy level and gradually increasing it to a pleasant sensation.
When decreasing energy level the lamps go out one by one after another and the device emits a
long beep once minimum energy is reached.
Sport D energy display
The first line of the LCD is used to display the energy

level (A) - from 1 to 250 units.
DOSE (DOSED STIMULATION) MODE.
SCENAR Sport D, Sport and Home devices have two dosing Modes – Dose 1 (STABLE)
and Dose 2 (LABILE).
DOSE 1 - STABLE DOSING MODE

Reset the device by pressing and simultaneously
until you hear series of beeps.
Sport D - Press the button and within 2 seconds press
the button once to activate the Dose 1 mode.
Sport and Home - Press the button once. The D lamp will
start flashing. Within 2 seconds press the button once
to activate the Dose 1 mode.
Once the Dose mode is selected the device will beep once.
When skin contact is detected in Dose 1 mode, the device

will beep twice with a low and a high tone. The symbol will appear on the Sport D
LCD.
To switch OFF the Dose Mode, Reset the device or press the and within 2 seconds
press the key.
In Dose 1 (Stable) Mode the device delivers individually dosed stimulation as well as
automatically evaluates the skin for optimal treatment positions.
The Dose 1 Mode requires the device to be placed on the skin in a stationary position
until the reading is shown on the screen or until the Dose is delivered.
In Dose 1 Mode the device measures the skin reaction to the SCENAR signal every
time it is placed on the skin. The reaction is measured in units but it is represented on
the screen as I symbols for Sport D model and as number of lit LEDs for Sport and
Home models.
The table below shows the corresponding initial reaction ranges to the text/LEDs:
Initial Reaction (IR) Screen Text (Sport D) LED Indications (Sport, Home)
IR< 18 - -
18 <= IR< 25 I 1 LED (D)
25 <= IR< 40 II 2 LEDs (D, Am)
40 <=IR< 60 III 3 LEDs (D, Am, Fm)
60 <=IR IIII 4 LEDs (D, Am, Fm and F)
A low IR value means that the body is reacting slowly, and it is not efficient to proceed
with further treatment at this time. High IR value indicates an active point
(asymmetry) – an area where SCENAR application will have the strongest effect.
Therefore, when scanning the treatment zone in Dose 1 Mode, Dose must be
delivered at areas with maximum number of bars.
Once the skin area is evaluated for the best treatment point, the device is placed in a
stationary position until Dose is delivered.
The time for each Dose is individual – it may take from few seconds to 40 seconds.
The I II III IIII

, , , symbols will
appear showing the progress of the Dose.
Once the Dose is completed *DOSE* will

appear on the LCD screen and the device
will emit series of beeps.
The progress of delivering the Dose in Sport and Home will be shown by successively
lighting up the LEDs from right to left.
DOSE 2 - LABILE DOSING MODE
Reset the device by pressing and simultaneously

until you hear series of beeps
Sport D - Press the button and within 2 seconds press the
button twice to activate the LABILE Dose mode.
Sport and Home - Press the button once. The D lamp will
start flashing. Within 2 seconds press the button twice to
activate the LABILE Dose mode.
Once the Dose 2 mode is selected the device will beep twice.
When skin contact is detected the device will beep twice with a low and a high tone.
To switch OFF the Dose Mode Reset the device.
In Dose 2 LABILE Mode the device is slowly moved over the skin while applying firm
and even pressure.
In this mode the SCENAR continually measures and compares the reaction of the skin
while the operator is moving the device. Areas with different reactions will be
indicated as a ratio between the initial reaction (when the device was first placed on
the skin) and the current reaction (the reaction of the current position of the device).
The table below shows the ratio between the initial reaction and the current reaction
and their audio and visual representations:
Ratio between the Initial Representation

Representation with LEDs Audible
Reaction (IR) and on the Screen
(Sport +) representation
Current Reaction (CR) (Sport D+)
Less ½ - - -
From ½ to 1 I 1 LED (D) -

-
3 LEDs (D, Am, Fm) Single short
From 1½ to 2 III beep
From 2 times and more IIII 4 LEDs (D, Am, Fm and F) Dual short beep
Areas with considerable difference between IR and CR are active points (asymmetries)
and have to be treated additionally. Treat additionally on zones indicated with
maximum number of bars/lit LEDs. The treatment of these zones may be performed in
Dose 1 Mode or other settings can be selected based on the stage of pain (see page
24).

DEFINITIONS AND TREATMENT METHODS
Pain therapy with the SCENAR device is carried out by stimulating skin areas
(treatment areas) with electrical impulses.
The treatment areas should be determined before a session according to primary

signs and complaints, and in the course of treatment according to secondary signs and
complaints.
The primary signs and complaints of a patient include pain, itching, sensitivity loss and
other unpleasant sensations, as well as small wounds, cicatrices, skin discoloration,
trophic disturbances which have been detected before the treatment session and
cause discomfort in a patient. The areas of primary signs and complaint projections
should be treated. If it is not possible to treat such areas (due to a wound, plaster
bandages and etc.), treat symmetrical areas located at equal distance from the
backbone horizontally to increase the treatment effectiveness.
If a complaint does not enable to determine its projection area or its area is very large,
and if a patient can not specify a main complaint among his/her complaints, treat the
General Treatment Zones.
The secondary signs are called asymmetries. This a term unique to SCENAR therapy.
It is any difference within the area being treated, or as a result of treatment.
The skin is the largest organ in the human body that protects our organs from the
environment, regulates body temperature, changes peripheral circulation and fluid
balance, and gives us the sensations of heat, cold, touch and pain. Through its
extensive network of nerve cells, blood vessels and receptors that is a constant
informational and energetic exchange with muscles, organs, bones, brain etc.
When treating with SCENAR device, the electrical properties of the skin, such as skin
resistance and capacitance change due to the influence of the SCENAR signal. These
changes are communicated to the nervous system and back to the skin resulting in
subsequent changes on the skin as well as inducing changes to the SCENAR signal
itself.
The changes in the skin are called Asymmetries. The alternation to the SCENAR signal
induced by the treated body is also unique and that is where the name SCENAR comes
from – Self-Controlled-Energo-Neuro-Adaptive-Regulator. SCENAR provides an
interactive neuro stimulation.
The changes in the skin during SCENAR treatment (asymmetries) are the most
important signs and the treatment must be focused on those areas as that is where
the body response is.
Asymmetries manifest in the following way:
• Stickiness of SCENAR electrode on the skin. Stickiness is the most common

asymmetry when using the brushing technique, where the device is slowly
dragged across the skin in 4 directions. The stickiness is caused by moving the
device over an area of the skin with higher or lower skin resistance and the
device no longer can slide smoothly on the skin. There is a resistance that is
easily felt by the operator and must be treated additionally until it disappears
or there is a change in the stickiness. Sometimes the resistance is most
prominent on only one of the 4 directions, and this direction must become
the focus of the treatment.
• Change of skin colour – reddening/whitening of the skin. During the SCENAR
treatment all noticeable changes in the skin colour such as redness, paleness,
dry patches, etc are asymmetries. These become again the focus of the
treatment.
• The images below show some examples of asymmetries.
• Change of patient sensation – numbness or hypersensitivity. Another
asymmetry is the change in the sensation of the patient to the SCENAR signal.
When treating with a constant energy level and on the same skin area, the
patient may start felling the signal more or less on different spots in the
treatment area. The operator must additionally treat these spots.
• Change in the sound of the SCENAR as it is moved over the skin –
louder/quieter. SCENAR impulse has a high stimulation amplitude (up to
200Volts when touching the skin) that causes vibrations of the corneal layer
of the skin. The corner layer then starts acting as the flexible film in an
electrostatic loudspeaker which is the reason why the device is producing a
specific sound moving it on the skin. According to the skin physical and
electrical characteristics, this sound may vary from louder to quitter on
treatment area. This sound variation is also an asymmetry and additional
treatment on these areas will in most cases equalise the sound.
• Change of pain location (pain migration). Sometimes the pain may move to
another location during treatment. And so, the SCENAR operator must follow
the pain and treat the new painful area.
Asymmetries can be identified by the following two methods:
1. Subjectively – In Manual Mode when the Dose function is switched OFF (also
called Subjective Dosed Mode). When brushing the device over the skin, the
operator will notice the asymmetries (stickiness, change of colour, redness,
change of sound, etc). This is a subjective observation, but in most cases,
asymmetries are obvious and easy to find and feel.
2. Objectively – In Dose 1 and Dose 2 Modes (also called Individual Dosed
Mode), the device measures the change of the skin reaction automatically
and objectively represents these measurements on the LCD/LED. Thus, giving
the operator an information where exactly the asymmetries are located.
Subjective and Objective methods can be combined into one treatment session,
staring with subjective and finishing with objective or visa-versa.
Asymmetries once found have to be treated additionally either with more brushing or
by delivering a Dose with Dose 1 Mode.
Dose 1 is usually helpful for small painful areas, while Dose 2 is used to search for
asymmetries on larger areas such as the back or the abdomen.
HOW TO USE DOSE 0 (MANUAL MODE)
Dose 0 is the default mode of the SCENAR device. It is called Manual because the
operator is defining the time and the area of the therapy as well as observing and
identifying the asymmetries.
Dose 0 can be used in stable and labile applications.
STABLE APPLICATION
Stable application is when the device is hold steady on the painful area (primary
complaint or asymmetry). This application in mainly used with additional SCENAR
electrodes listed in the table below. The electrode is connected to the device and
stuck/typed on the complaint area. The electrical signal is emitted from both the
device built-in electrode and the additional electrode.
Stabile application is recommended in cases where longer treatment is needed

(usually with chronic complaints) or the treatment area is not accessible by the
patient, for example the back, neck, etc and additional electrode must be used such as
gel pads, belt electrode etc.

LABILE APPLICATION
In labile application, which is also called brushing, the SCENAR device is slowly moved
across the skin with a firm and even pressure.
The treatment area should be bigger than the complaint representation as shown on
the illustration below.
The therapy starts from the top left corner of the treatment area and the device is
slowly moved with even and firm pressure to assure both passive and active
electrodes are touching the skin.
The device electrode is vertical, moved from top to bottom, in a direction from left to
right. This rule is always applied from the operator’s perspective.
The aim of these movements is to elicit responses (asymmetries) form the body and
the focus of the treatment then becomes these asymmetries.
• Change of skin colour – reddening/whitening of the skin;

• Change of patient sensation – numbness or hypersensitivity;
• Change in the sound of the SCENAR as it is moved over the skin –
louder/quieter.
Once presented, the asymmetries are treated additionally by applying the device in 4
directions (4 vector technique) – from top to bottom, from bottom to top, from right
to left and from left to right (as shown on the illustration below).
Asymmetry
The treatment is focused in the direction that intensifies the characteristic of the
asymmetry the most (colour, stickiness, sound etc.,) until it either disappears or
changes to the opposite characteristic.
HOW TO USE DOSE 1

Dose 1 has two functions:
• To measure the body’s reaction to the treatment and display the

measurement on the LCD/LED and;
• Deliver an individualised treatment (Dose). Using a complex mathematical
algorithm and constantly mearing the body’s reaction, the SCENAR device is
calculating the time of the Dose completion taking into account the changes
of the skin parameters. In simple words, the SCENAR delivers as much as
necessary for the body therapeutic influence.
Dose 1 is used in stabile application only, by placing the device firmly on skin and
waiting for the display/LED to show the reading. The number of bars/lit LEDs provide
information about how the skin is responding to the SCENAR signal. Skin areas with
quick reaction will show higher numbers of bars/lit LEDs. These areas are
asymmetries, identified by the SCENAR device automatically and must be additionally
treated by delivering a Dose.
The treatment in Dose 1 mode is conducted in the following way:
1. Define the treatment area;

2. Mark each electrode position within the treatment area. Do not have spaces
between the electrodes;
3. Take the first reading by placing the device firmly on the skin at the top left
corner of the treatment area. Hold with even pressure until to see the
reading on screen/ count the number of lit LEDs. Record the reading on the
piece of paper;
4. Lift the device and place it on the second position. Hold and wait until you
have the second reading. Record the reading.
5. Continue taking and recording readings in the direction of top to bottom, left
to right until you cover the whole treatment area;
6. Place and hold the device until Dose is reached on all positions with the
highest readings three times.
Dose 1 Mode is commonly used for smaller treatment areas to screen the body for
asymmetries and deliver an individual Dose on the locations with highest number of
bars/LEDs.
The above example shows a treatment area that comprises of 15 electrode positions.
The treatment starts from position 1 – top left corner and progresses to position 15.
The device is placed firmly on each position and each reading is recorded. In the
example, electrode positions 5 and 6 have the highest readings of 4 bars/lit LEDs and
therefore they have to be Dosed three times each.
Dose 1 can be combined with Dose 0 by delivering one of more doses on the
asymmetries found through the brushing technique.
The device’s settings used with Dose 1 are 60Hz or 90Hz fixed Frequencies.
HOW TO USE DOSE 2

Dose 2 is used in liable application only. In this mode, the SCENAR is constantly
measuring and comparing the changes of the skin reaction. Areas with significant
changes will be indicated with higher number of bars/lit LEDs. These areas are
asymmetries and must be treated additionally.
The treatment in Dose 2 mode is conducted in the following way:
1. Define the treatment area;

2. Start from the top left corner of the treatment area to slowly move the
device from top to bottom in a direction from left to right;
3. Mark the areas with highest number of bars/lit LEDs (asymmetries) with a
non-toxic eye liner pencil.
4. Once you cover the whole treatment area, go back to the asymmetries and
treat them additionally with the 4 Vector technique (brush from top to
bottom, bottom to top, left to right, right to left) for a couple of minutes.
Alternatively, switch to Dose 1 and deliver three Doses on each of these
areas.
The illustration above shows that after moving the device in Dose 2 mode across the
treatment zone, three areas with four bars/lit LEDs are identified by the device. These
areas can be additionally treated with the 4 vector technique for a couple of minutes
or Dosed three times in Dose 1 mode.
Dose 2 is suitable for treating larger areas or when the time is limited.
The device’s settings used with Dose 2 are 60Hz or 90Hz fixed Frequencies.
Note: If the patient skin is very sensitive and the brushing causes pain or discomfort,
use Dose 1 Mode.
PONT OF PAIN THERAPY
Point of pain therapy is when the pain can be pointed with a finger, meaning that
the pain is concentrated in a smaller area similar in size to the SCENAR device built
in electrode.
The following techniques are useful when treating point of pain:
1. Liable in Dose 0 (brushing). Start brushing over the point of pain with the
default settings. Look for asymmetries and focus your treatment at the
direction where the asymmetry is most prominent. Treat several minutes
and change the device settings according to the stage of the pain –
chronic, acute, sub-acute, etc. (page 23). Check the pain level every 2-3
minutes and alternate again with different device settings. If the pain has
changed, stop the treatment. If the pain has no or little change, move to
the opposite, symmetrical or reciprocal point. Treatment time – 10-15min
for acute problems, up to 40-50 min for chronic.
2. Stabile in Dose 0 (Dose mode is Off). Place the device on the point of pain
and hold for several minutes. Check the pain level and change the settings
if there is not change in the pain. Hold for another several minutes. Switch
the FM on and hold for 2-3 minutes on the point of pain. If the pain has no
or little change, move to the opposite, symmetrical or reciprocal point.
The same technique is applied when using additional electrodes such as

gel pads, belt electrode, etc. Treatment duration with the additional
electrode can be longer and the device setting should be changed
frequently for best effect.
3. Stabile in Dose 1. Define the treatment area and mark the electrode
positions. Please the device on each electrode position and record the
reading. Do three Doses on the highest readings. If the pain has no or little
change, move to the opposite, symmetrical or reciprocal point.
Examples
1. Choose setting based on the stage of pain (see page 23).
2. Place the device on the skin - onto the point of pain.
3. Set the energy level to a comfortable ‘tingling’ sensation by pressing the or

buttons.
4. Hold the device on the skin stationary for 2-3 minutes.
5. Change to the default setting, and move the device over and around the painful
area using massage movements. If you find an asymmetry, treat additionally using
Fm mode.
6. Check for change in pain. If there is not change, use Dose 1 mode and dose the
point of pain if the pain hasn’t reduced. If the pain has changed, stop the treatment.

SCENAR EXPLANATION AND HISTORY
SCENAR - explanation
SC - Self-Controlled. The device establishes a biofeedback link with the body when in
use, constantly changing the properties of the applied electric impulses, depending on
the measured reaction from the body.
EN - Energo-Neuro. The effect of device is based on electric impulses of a specific

shape; patterned after the natural nervous discharges of the human body.
AR - Adaptive Regulator. The device not only provides direct therapeutic effect, but
also activates the natural defences of the body 12. The effect is achieved through the
stimulation of reflective zones and acupuncture points on the skin surface.
Overall, RITM SCENAR® is an effective, non-invasive medical technology, which works

by stimulating the body’s inherent self-healing mechanisms. Its direct effect is several
times stronger than of other physiotherapeutic devices, with no undesirable side
effects34567.

SCENAR- brief history
An early form of electro analgesia (or reduction of pain by electrical stimulation) dates as far back
as Ancient Rome 46AD where Scribonius Largus used the shock of a torpedo ray to manage
headache and gout. Over the centuries, and with the advent of electricity, electro analgesia in
many forms has been proposed. The transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS),
introduced as an alternative therapy to pharmacological therapy s to chronic pain, was
acknowledged as a viable method of pain management by America's Food and Drug
Administration, and several companies began the development of TENS devices. Although TENS
provided electrical stimulation through a harmless electrical impulse via electrodes placed over
the intact skin surface, the pain suppression was short-lived.
One of their projects was to develop a device that was small, portable and economical (as in the
TENS device) but to still be effective at maintaining the overall health of astronauts. A team of
researchers from RITM OKB ZAO set out to design one universal non-invasive device that would
not only provide long-lasting pain relief but could also correct the adaptive mechanisms of the
body, thereby restoring homeostasis and health. The leading engineer Alexander Karasev
started out by modifying the electrical impulse (as used in TENS) so that this new device could
correct the body's adaptive mechanisms resulting in homeostasis and health. However, two
criteria had to be met: the device had to have biofeedback and the signal had to be identical to
the body's neural impulses (i.e. compact with high amplitude and with no habituation).
The first SCENAR prototype was manufactured in 1976 by RITM OKB ZAO. which could be
manipulated over the body enabling the device operator to compare the body's responses in
order to choose the best zones for therapy .
A team of doctors and scientists including Alexander Revenko and Yuri Gorfinkel were involved in
formulating the therapy methodology of RITM SCENAR®. They discovered that all local reactions
in the therapy zones in RITM SCENAR® therapy were indicative of the general dynamics of the
whole body. The therapy method involved the operator choosing the optimal therapy zone
according to the body's reactions to RITM SCENAR® therapy.
In 1990 the USSR Health Care Ministry permitted serial production of RITM SCENAR® devices
and officially accepted the technology to be used in the national health care system.
Following ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and the CE Mark in 2006, RITM SCENAR® devices become available
worldwide including Australia.
RITM Australia was established in 2006 as a branch office of RITM OB ZAO with the aim of
enabling affordable and easy access to RITM SCENAR® therapy in the Asia-Pacific region.
SCENAR technology
SCENAR technology relies on the body's mechanism of adaptation ensuring dynamic equilibrium,
or homeostasis. Regulation of the body's vital functions is achieved through a close connection
and interaction of the nervous and endocrine systems. The effects of these systems results in the
release of biologically active chemical modulators called neuromediators. Examples of these are
acetylcholine, adrenaline and nor-adrenaline. Amino acids are another type of chemical
modulators. These are important in activation of the thickly myelinated A- and B-neural fibres.
Examples of this modulator include glutamine and asparagine. The largest group of chemical
modulators are the neuromediators and includes endorphins (the 'feel good' chemical
modulator), encephalins and bradykinine.
In RITM SCENAR® therapy the most important chemical modulators are neuropeptides. These
are the main modulator of neural activity of the thin non-myelinated, 'difficult-to-excite' C-
fibres. These neuropeptide-producing
nerve fibres make up more than 70% of the body's neural properties. C-fibre's specific
properties enable the production of a powerful analgesic effect, which is brought about by the
release of neuropeptides, once the C-fibre is activated.
The main goal of RITM SCENAR® therapy is that a maximum number of C- fibres are activated
to induce the secretion of a sufficient amount of neuropeptides. This is achieved by active
feedback, bipolar electric impulse and individually dosed influence.
The most unique characteristic of RITM SCENAR® is that it can induce changes in the parameters
of its impulse automatically and in accordance with the body’s response to the device. While
conventional therapeutic devices are passive, RITM SCENAR® involves active reflex biofeedback,
which means that the device communicates actively with the processes that are happening in the
body. The RITM SCENAR® device does this by monitoring the skin’s impedance and then changes
the electric impulse it is sending out in accordance with the changes in the skin’s impedance.
Therefore active reflex biofeedback means that maximal therapeutic effectiveness can be
achieved.
This active interaction is set up to prompt the body to identify and harmonise areas called
‘active points’.
These active points can include stickiness (the device will have the feeling of being magnetically
dragged on the skin), reddening of the skin, area numbness or hypersensitivity, or and/or an
increase/decrease in the electronic clattering sound of the device as it is slid across the skin.
Active points are areas where the body’s cells and tissue responses are more active, and thus
more optimal therapy areas. By influencing the nervous system, the RITM SCENAR® seems is be
able to assist the body to heal itself.
