produce a combination of tingling or pulsing/ tapping sensations associated with muscle
contractions. In NMS a period of muscle contraction (Work) is alternated with a period of rest.
Programs R, S and T are TENS programs.
In program S, the output is Continuous. Intensity should be set so that there is a strong tingling feeling
WITHOUT muscle contraction. Program S can be used until the pain relief effect starts to wear off – up to
2 hours.
In program T the stimulus is delivered in bursts: i.e. a group of pulses rather than a single pulse. You
should set intensity so that muscle contractions just start to appear, and use for not more than 60 mins.
