The device is equipped with several application programmes and uses low-frequency
electric currents for therapeutic purposes. The induced electric pulses, their intensity,
frequency and frequency width are controlled by the respective application programme.
By means of the adhesive electrodes applied on the skin, the electric pulses are
transmitted to the nervous system and the muscles. The current flows from the positive
(+) adhesive electrode (with the red plug) to the negative (-) adhesive electrode (with
the black plug). For the purpose of pain treatment, the delivery of pain to the brain is
influenced during the application of a TENS therapy. The user does no longer perceive the
pain at all or perceives the pain to a limited extent only. During the application of an EMS
therapy, the respective muscle receives an electric pulse resulting in a contraction of this
muscle. The intensity of the two channels can be adjusted separately and can be used
independently on two body regions to be treated. The device is equipped with two
channels and four electrodes; thus, you can stimulate two groups of muscles (EMS) or
two pain areas (TENS) at the same time using the respective programmes.
2.2 Information concerning the TENS/EMS therapy
The TENS/EMS device TEN 250 is an electro-stimulation device. To this end, an electric
current is transmitted through the skin.
EMS (electric muscle stimulation) = the muscle tissue is electrically stimulated.
TENS (transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation) = the nerve tract is electrically
stimulated.
