Electrotherapy Devices
Interferential Stimulation Common beat frequency settings are: Electrode Application: Note: Interferential is a high output current. An AC adapter should be used as batteries will last only for short periods. |

TENS Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulators TENS produces a low level stimulus or intermittent current to comfortably stimulate surface nerves. High Rate frequencies in the 80-150 pps range for long term wearing for pain relief Electrode Application: There are many modes of stimulation available on a variety of TENS models. -Conventional Mode delivers a constant and steady beat of rate from 1-200 pulses per second. This is the most widely used mode of treatment. -Burst Mode delivers a packet or burst of 7-10 pulses rather than a single pulse. Burst is more comfortable than conventional modes when using low Hz settings. -Modulated rate, width and amplitude modes deliver constantly varying rates, width and amplitudes to reduce sensory accommodation. -Strength Duration Modes deliver a modulated current to match the strength duration threshold curve of pain. |

Micro Current Therapy Microcurrent is measured in microamps or millionths of an ampere, versus TENS which is in the milliampere or thousandth of an ampere range. Microcurrent output is designed to more closely parallel the body’s natural electrical currents. There is no sensation of stimulation. Electrode Application: |

HVPC Stimulators The HVPC waveform delivers an extremely comfortable but powerful stimulus. The waveform is excellent for deep penetrating stimulation. HVPC is commonly used in pain, swelling, contusions, sprains and strains. Electrode Application: Note: HVPC is a high output current. An AC adapter should be used as batteries will last only for short periods. |

NMES- Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation Neuromuscular stimulation is designed to provide a comfortable current stimulus to cause an involuntary passive muscle contraction. Neuromuscular stimulators are used predominantly for muscle re-education and prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy. It can also be used as a manual stimulus for muscle functional training. NMES uses ON/OFF stimulation times to mimic active exercise contraction/rest periods and Ramp Up and Ramp Down times for comfortable muscle contracting. It is used where active exercise is not easily achieved or isolation of specific muscle is required. Unlike TENS, NMES uses long pulse duration waveforms to contract muscle. Electrode Application: |
