STIMULATION PARAMETERS
MECHANISM OF ACTION
APPLICATION TECHNIQUE
OPERATIONAL SEQUENCE
HVPC SENSORY
Symptomatic relief of pain
from localized dermatome or
segmental origin Increase
circulation. Increase
circulation.
•
125Hz + or – Polarity Continuous
•
Treatment time of 20-45 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 and deep. Bipolar,
appropriate polarity through the target tissue return
electrode at spinal segmental electrode or local
nerve. Set intensity to elicit a pleasant tingling
sensation, just below the muscle contraction.
•
Press HVPC until screen reads "HVPC SENSORY"
•
Press START / STOP until screen reads " SET OUTPUT A
INTENSITY"
•
Set Output A/HVPC 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.
EDEMA-MUSCLE PUMP
Increase circulation, venous
and
lymphatic return through
muscle pump.
•
50Hz + or – Polarity
•
4 Sec “ON” time 12 Sec “OFF” time
•
Single channel only (A)
•
Ramps 2 Sec “ON/OFF”
•
Treatment time of 20 minutes
Activation of muscle causing contraction of the
agonist to move the joint. The muscle pump action
compresses fluids into the venous and lymphatic
return, while improving blood flow to the
edematous tissue. Reduce treatment time based
on muscle fatigue.
Target tissue - superficial and deep muscle groups
and joints. Bipolar set-up over agonist muscle for
target joint or edematous tissue. Set intensity to
elicit muscle contraction causing pain free joint
movement typically a grade 3-4 muscle
contraction.
•
Press HVPC until screen reads "EDEMA - MUSCLE PUMP"
•
Press START / STOP until screen reads " SET OUTPUT A
INTENSITY"
•
Set Output A/HVPC until the desired contraction level is obtained
•
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.
