Pulse duration:
Wider pulse duration settings will deliver stronger stimulation
for any given intensity setting. As mentioned in the “Adjusting
the Controls on the Analog TENS Device” section, by using
a combination of intensity and pulse duration, it is felt that
various pulse widths are capable of stimulating different
groups of nerve fibers. The choice of which pulse duration to
use is partially dependent upon the Treatment Mode selected
(refer to the appropriate section).
