Stimulation Modes
Stimulation Modes
Eight modes (0-7) are provided for general exercise with modes 8 & 9 provided
for more specialised exercise. The stimulation formats are summarised in the
following table and explained fully below.
A continuous mode is useful when finding the correct electrode sites.
Changing Modes
While the stimulator is operating, the mode switch can be used to change to a
stimulation mode which has the same stimulation frequency. For example, while
exercising on mode 3 the user may only select modes 2 or 4. After a short delay
Mode Frequency Format Possible Use
0 40Hz
ALTERNATE
Slow ramp (6s)
• Exercise modes for possible improvement
in muscle fatigue resistance etc.
• A slow ramp is used when there is a high
level of spasticity
1 40Hz
SIMULTANEOUS
Slow ramp (6s
2 20Hz CONTINUOUS
• Setting up electrode positions and
stimulation levels
3 20Hz ALTERNATE • Normal quadriceps exercise mode
4 20Hz SIMULTANEOUS
• For simultaneous contraction of 2 sets of
muscles e.g. hand stimulation
5 40Hz CONTINUOUS
• Setting up electrode positions and
stimulation levels or when using a probe
6 40Hz ALTERNATE • Normal common-peroneal exercise mode
7 40Hz SIMULTANEOUS
• For simultaneous contraction of 2 sets of
muscles
8 40Hz OVERLAPPING • Shoulder subluxation
9 20Hz OVERLAPPING • Shoulder subluxation – reduced fatigue
