INTELECT LEGEND COMBO
Pain Management
The management of post-traumatic, post-operative or chronic intractable pain associated
with many areas of the body can be a difficult task. The Intelect
®
Legend Combo provides
multiple waveforms and many parameter settings to manage pain.
Two waveforms are available for Pain Management therapy: Interferential and Premodulated.
Interferential
The Interferential waveform consists of two channels, each with a sinusoidal waveform;
one of fixed frequency and one of variable frequency.
When the four electrodes are positioned so that the two channels cross each other, the
two waveforms mix within the tissue to produce a train of pulses whose frequencies and
amplitude are dependent on the sweep mode, beat frequency and amplitude settings,
respectively. Press the Interferential button to select this waveform.
Ch. Select
controls the method for setting amplitude. The Both Channels mode changes
intensity equally. The Channel 1 option changes ONLY channel one and the Channel 2
option ONLY changes channel two. This is helpful when you need to balance the output
between channels.
When you highlight
Amplitude Modulation
and press the
ENTER
button, 3 options are displayed.
They are 40% Scan (default), 100% Scan and Static (no scan).
Scan Percentage
is the percentage of decrease from the maximum amplitude. Scan is
amplitude modulation, expressed as a percentage of the amplitude. The rhythmical varying
of the amplitude of each channel produces the perceived
movement of the Interferential field.
