WAVEFORM SPECIFICATIONS
Russian Stimulation
Russian Current is a medium frequency
rectangle waveform, delivered in bursts or
series of pulses. This method was claimed
by its author (Kots) to produce maximal
muscle strengthening effects without
significant discomfort to the patient.
PARAMETERS
Carrier
Frequency
Carrier frequency is the
base frequency of the
alternating current.
Frequency
In a pulsed current the
Frequency refers to the
number of pulses that
occur in a one second
period of time and is
denoted in (Hz) or Pulses
Per Second (pps).
Duty
Duty is the percentage
of the total treatment
time that the current is
actually flowing.
Cycle Time
Cycle time refers to the
time that the current is
On and Off (in seconds).
Example: for a Cycle
Time of 10/50, the current
will be flowing for 10
seconds and resting
for 50 seconds.
Ramp
Ramp is used to set
a gradual increase in
intensity during the
“on-time”. Ramps occur
at the beginning and
ending of a cycle.
