8. INFORMATION ABOUT
THE
PROGRAMME
SETTINGS
Each
programme
has
its
own
combination of Frequency and Pulse
Width settings which allow for different
sensations through the probe or
optional electrode pads and help
treating
the
different
types
of
incontinence.
•
Frequency (measured in Hz -
pulses per second)
Low frequencies (1-10 Hz) have a
purifying and relaxing effect through
individual contractions.
Medium frequencies (20-50 Hz) can put
a high level of strain on the muscle, thus
promoting the muscular structure
•
Pulse Width (measured in μs -
millionths of a second)
The
itouch sure
unit has pulse widths
of 200 to 30
0 μs. Generally speaking,
the higher the pulse width, the more
"aggressive" the stimulation feels, if the
pulse width is set high enough, it will
usually elicit a muscle contraction,
which is required for an effective toning
of the pelvic floor muscles.
