TENS eco 2
Program 11 + 23: Gate control dynamic fast
The intensity continuously changes. It increases within 0.25 s to the maximum intensity
and decreases within 0.25 s to 50% of the maximum intensity. Both channels operate
alternately (massage effect). See illustration program 10.
Frequency: 80 Hz
Pulse width:
150 μs
Intensity modulation:
0.25 s rise, 0.25 s fall
Therapy time:
30 min (1 to 99 min)
Indications:
Heavy legs (venous return)
Program 11 is similar to program 10, but the movement of the massage waves is faster. It
is used to improve the venous return for patients who suffer from heavy legs. To achieve
the massage effect it is essential to use both channels of the TENS unit.
Program 12 + 24: Deep TENS
Program 12 works just like program 1. However, instead of just one pulse, four short pulse
of 75 μs are generated with a pause of 200 μs between each pulse. 100 pulse packages
are generated per seconds (carrier frequency = 100 Hz).
Frequency:
100 Hz
Pulse width:
75 μs
Modulation:
four pulses in a group, duration of periods 275 μs
Therapy time:
30 min (1 to 99 min)
This program could be called the last recourse if none of the other programs give analgesic
effect. However, because of the high frequency this program is often felt as less pleasant.
Furthermore, high frequency stimulation needs more battery power.
