9. 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
Endorphin release (programme PAIN
only): A low frequency of 4 or 10 Hz
allows for the release of endorphins, the
body’s
natural morphine-like
substances.
•
Pulse Width (measured in μs -
millionths of a second)
The perfect PFE 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
