sophisticated, advanced electronic engineering utilized in the construction of
the Multi-Mode Stimulator produces a very precise and repeatable interference
frequency. This results in accurate therapeutic frequencies at the targeted injury site.
Neuromuscular stimulation uses low frequencies to stimulate the contraction of
muscles. This low frequency electrical current is similar to the electrical impulses
produced by the brain to perform a contraction of muscles. Neuromuscular stim-
ulation uses an electrical pulse generator (Multi-Mode Stimulator), lead wires and
electrodes to bring the electrical current to an individual muscle or muscle group.
A contraction and relaxation rhythm is created in the muscle which helps to relieve
muscle spasms, re-educates muscles, advances range of motion and resumption of
motor control, helps prevent or retard muscle atrophy from disuse and increase local
blood circulation. The treatment is safe and after the initial newness of the tingling
sensation from the electrical current, can even become relaxing for the patient. The
length of contraction and relaxation periods is a matter for discussion with your phy-
sician or therapist. The amplitude or intensity of the treatment is patient controllable.
INTRODUCTION TO THE MULTI-MODE STIMULATOR
The Multi-Mode Stimulator is a high-quality, advanced technology medical device
designed to be used as a combination interferential and muscle stimulator. The
Multi-Mode Stimulator is battery powered or power can be supplied with an AC wall
adapter. Current is generated and controlled by the Multi-Mode Stimulator circuitry
using Texas Instruments
®
microprocessor chips. These chips provide the Multi-
Mode Stimulator with the greatest degree of control and intelligence on the market
today. The Multi-Mode Stimulator was designed for the homecare market and many
of the Multi-Mode Stimulator features are the result of countless discussions with
patients, physicians and therapists as to what they want and need in a clinic and
home use electrotherapy device.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
Interferential Current Mode:
Symptomatic relief and management of chronic pain and/or as an adjunctive treat-
ment for the management of post-surgical and post-traumatic pain.
Neuromuscular Stimulator Mode:
Relaxation of muscle spasm, increasing local blood circulation, maintaining and increas-
ing range of motion, preventing or retarding disuse atrophy, muscle re-education, and
immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis.
