It distinguishes between monophasic
and
biphasic pulse currents. In monophasic
pulse currents, the current flows in one
direction and in biphasic pulse currents
the electrical impulse alternates its
direction. The device provides both
monophasic and biphasic rectangular
wave.
IThe frequency indicates the number of
individual impulses each second and is
given in Hz (Hertz). It can be calculated by
determining the cyclic value for the time
period.
This indicates the duration of an individual
impulse in microseconds.
Pulse width
Intensity levels indicates the output voltage/
current of the stimulus. The setting used should be
effective but should never cause an unpleasant
sensation, such as pain, at the site of application.
While a gentle tingling indicates sufficient
stimulation energy levels, any setting that causes
pain should be avoided. During longer applications
it may be necessary to make readjustments due to
the adjustment processes over time at the site of
application.
