STIMULATION PARAMETERS
MECHANISM OF ACTION
APPLICATION TECHNIQUE
OPERATIONAL SEQUENCE
ANALGESIA SENSORY
Symptomatic relief of pain
from localized dermatome or
segmental origin. Increase
circulation.
•
100Hz - 80uSec PD Continuous
•
Treatment time of 20 minutes
Sensory stimulation reduces pain through
segmental release of Enkephalin and Dynorphin
(Gate Control). It also activates local vasodilation
increasing local circulation. Application of
negative polarity over the edematous site has
been demonstrated to reduce post-traumatic
edema in clinical trials.
Target tissue-superficial. Bilateral bipolar through
the painful area or over the involved spinal
segments. Apply parallel to incision line for post-op
pain management. Set intensity to elicit a pleasant
tingling sensation, just below muscle contraction.
•
Press LVPC button until screen reads "ANALGESIA SENSORY".
•
Press START / STOP until screen reads “SET OUTPUTS A-B".
•
Set Outputs A and B until the patient feels the desired sensation.
•
Press START / STOP and T20 will display in upper right corner.
•
Adjust treatment time if necessary using the TIME/PARAMETER
button.
•
The treatment will end at the end of the preset time or if the patient
safety switch is pressed.
ANALGESIA MOTOR
Symptomatic relief of pain
with inflammation, or pain of
a generalized or multi-
segmental nature.
•
4Hz - 250uSec PD Continuous
•
Treatment time of 20 minutes
Motor level stimulation activates motor and A-delta
fibers causing the release of Bendorphin
systemically Duration of relief is typically from 2-6
hours Slow Onset of relief usually within 30
minutes to 1 hour.
Target tissue-superficial. Bipolar placement over
local and distal acu / trigger point or at spinal
segmental level. Set intensity to elicit a motor
twitch.
•
Press LVPC button until screen reads "ANALGESIA MOTOR".
•
Press START / STOP until screen reads “SET OUTPUTS A-B".
•
Set Outputs A and B until the patient feels the desired sensation.
•
Press START / STOP and T20 will display in upper right corner.
•
Adjust treatment time if necessary using the TIME/PARAMETER
button.
•
The treatment will end at the end of the preset time or if the patient
safety switch is pressed.
NMES - R.O.M.
To provide estim assisted
passive or active assisted
R.O.M. at a joint.
•
35Hz - 200uSec PD
•
4 Sec “ON” time and 12 Sec “OFF” time
•
Simultaneous timing pattern
•
Ramps are set for 2 Sec “ON/OFF”
•
Treatment time of 30 minutes
Activation of muscle causing contraction of the
agonist and antagonist to move the joint and
improve the R.O.M. Reduce treatment time based
on muscle fatigue.
Target tissue - smaller superficial muscle groups.
Bipolar set-up over agonist muscle for targeted
joint. Set intensity to elicit muscle contraction
causing pain free joint movement typically a grade
3-4 muscle contraction.
•
Press LVPC until screen reads "NMES - R.O.M."
•
Press START / STOP until screen reads “SET OUTPUTS A-B".
•
Set Outputs A and/or B until the desired contraction level is obtained.
•
Press START / STOP and T30 will display in upper right corner.
•
Adjust treatment time if necessary using the TIME/PARAMETER
button.
•
The treatment will end at the end of the preset time or if the patient
safety switch is pressed.
NMES RE-ED
Treatment of muscle disuse
atrophy
for strength development.
•
50Hz - 200uSec PD
•
10 Sec “ON” time and 50 Sec “OFF” time
•
Channels fire simultaneously
•
Ramps are set for 2 Sec “ON/OFF”
•
Treatment time of 15 minutes
Activation of muscle with electrical stimulation at a
high intensity for a short time reduces disuse
atrophy and improves strength and power. The
patient should participate to the extent possible by
contracting during the stimulation “ON” time.
Reduce treatment time based on muscle fatigue.
Target tissue - smaller superficial muscle groups.
Bipolar set-up over agonist and antagonist muscles.
Set intensity to elicit a grade 3-5 muscle contraction.
Reduce treatment time based on muscle fatigue.
Restrict joint movement by holding manually, or using
weights or exercise bands.
•
Press LVPC until screen reads "NMES RE-ED".
•
Press START / STOP until screen reads “SET OUTPUTS A-B".
•
Set Outputs A and/or B until the desired contraction level is obtained.
•
Press START / STOP and T15 will display in upper right corner.
•
Adjust treatment time if necessary using the TIME/PARAMETER
button.
•
The treatment will end at the end of the preset time or if the patient
safety switch is pressed.
NMES RE-ED
ENDURANCE
Treatment of muscle disuse
atrophy for endurance
development.
•
10Hz - 200uSec PD
•
5 Sec “ON” time and 30 Sec “OFF” time
•
Channels fire simultaneously
•
Ramps are set for 1 Sec “ON/OFF”
•
Treatment time of 30 minutes
Activation of muscle with electrical stimulation at
lower intensity for a longer time reduces disuse
atrophy and improves endurance. The patient
should participate to the extent possible by
contracting during the stimulation "ON" time.
Reduce treatment time based on muscle fatigue.
Target tissue - smaller superficial muscle groups.
Bipolar set-up over agonist and antagonist muscles for
target muscle. Set intensity to elicit a grade 2-4 muscle
contraction. Reduce treatment time based on muscle
fatigue. Restrict joint movement by holding manually, or
using weights or exercise bands.
•
Press LVPC until screen reads "NMES RE-ED ENDURANCE".
•
Press START / STOP until screen reads "SET OUTPUTS A-B".
•
Set Outputs A and/or B until the desired contraction level is obtained.
•
Press START / STOP and T30 will display in upper right corner.
•
Adjust treatment time if necessary using the TIME/PARAMETER
button.
•
The treatment will end at the end of the preset time or if the patient
safety switch is pressed.
