ramp
- Ramp is the gradual increase and decrease in current. The purpose of ramping up the current is to maximize patient comfort by
preventing the abrupt and sudden exposure to the current.
Sweep
- This is the modulation of therapeutic frequency commonly used to prevent accommodation. Sweeps are measured in pulses per
second (pps) and Hertz (Hz). The available sweeps are 1-120 pps and 1-10 pps.
Treatment Time –
Measured in minutes and seconds, it is the suggested time in which therapy is given.
Type
- Displayed as a parameter on the unit, Type is used to signify the specific kind of waveform. For example, there are two types of
Monophasic waveforms available on the unit: Monophasic Rectangular and Monophasic Triangular.
vector
- A vector is a geometrically descriptive feature used to increase the effective therapeutic current at the crossing point of Traditional
Interferential (IFC 4-Pole).
vector Position
- The available vector positions are 0 to 90 degrees.
vector Scan
- Measured in percentages, vector scans are the rhythmic changes of the position of vector. The available vector scans are
Manual, Auto 40%, and Auto 100%.
waveforms
- Waveforms are current or voltage that is varied by time and are the geometrical descriptions of a DC, AC, or pulsed DC/AC
current. Current waveforms are described as either monophasic or biphasic. A biphasic wave is further described as either symmetrical or
asymmetrical and as balanced or unbalanced. For more specifications and types of waveforms available on the Intelect Mobile Stim, refer
