WHeN?
To relieve shoulder pain following a mechanical conflict, an inflammatory disorder,
shoulder surgery, or inflammatory tendinopathy.
WHy? For the relief of pain.
HOW?
Using the Gate control principle. This involves causing high levels of sensitivity impulses
in order to limit the input of pain impulses when they return to the posterior horn of
the spinal cord.
PulSe WidtH
The pulse width varies continuously with this programme. This avoids habituation by
using a system of stimulation that is perceived as more pleasant by some patients.
electrOdeS
The electrodes must be positioned where the pain is located. Four large electrodes
surrounding the joint produce a significant analgesic effect on all shoulder pain.
iNteNSity
The intensity must be increased gradually until the patient feels a tingling sensation
that is pronounced without being painful.
