PULSE DURATION
Wider pulse duration settings will deliver stronger stimulation for any given inten-
sity setting. As mentioned in the Controls section, by using a combination of
intensity and pulse duration, it is felt that various pulse widths are capable of stimu-
lating different muscles groups.
The wider pulse duration is needed to recruit motor fibres, whereas the narrow
pulse duration is used on the more sensory fibres.
PULSE RATE
The Pulse Rate (hertz or pulses per second) chosen depends greatly upon the
type of electrode placement given to the patient.
When using contiguous and dermatome electrode placements (i.e. stimulating
directly through the area of pain or localized enervation), a quick pulse rate (setting
greater than 80Hz on the Pulse Rate Control) is desired. The patient should not
perceive individual pulses but rather have the sensation of steady continuous
stimulation.
When using point treatments, it has been suggested that slow pulses be utilized
(less than 10Hz). With this setting the patient should be able to slightly perceive
individual pulses.
When using multiple electrode placement strategies, such as combinations of
point and contiguous electrode placements, the quicker pulse rates are suggested.
Despite above recommendations, these individual patients may require slight varia-
tions of the above settings, according to the nature of their condition.
INTENSITY
Each patient responds differently to different levels of intensity, due to varying de-
grees of tissue resistance, enervation, skin thickness, etc. Intensity instructions
are therefore limited to the following settings:
