Stimulation Current Therapy
(5) If necessary, plug in the manual release key as therapy pause button.
(6) Slowly turn up the intensity with the intensity control <6>. The therapy time
elapses.
Warning Take care that the electrodes are by no means touched after the current is
turned up!
(7) After treatment, an acoustic signal will be issued.
Turn the intensity down to 0.
(8) Remove the electrodes.
4.5.4 Muscle Stimulation using low-frequency currents
The low-frequency current modes provided for muscle stimulation are
FaS and HVS are usually applied in case of faradic excitable nervo-muscular systems. If,
however, while testing the faradic excitability, it was noticed that the muscles can NOT
be stimulated successfully any more, it is advisable to treat the beginning atrophy of the
paralysed muscle with triangular pulses of the T/R. This way, the denerved muscles can
be retained until reinnervation by stimulation according to the principle of selective mus-
cle stimulation.
Treatment using automatic current triggering
(1) Attach the electrodes to the respective stimulation points. Position the patient to en-
able free movement of the stimulation area.
(2) Depending on the indication, select one of the current modes
the display <3>.
(3) If necessary, select the function biphase.
(4) If desired, activate the acoustic signal.
(5) Adept the pulse time T or the frequency.
(6) Set the tension time T and the release time R.
The release time R should be selected to give the nerve-muscle-unit sufficient time
for recreation.
(7) Select the ramp of the current rise (for FaS and HVS) or the mode of pulse (for T/R).
(8) Set the therapy time.
(9) If necessary, plug in the manual release key as therapy pause button.
(10) Slowly turn up the intensity with intensity control <6>. The therapy time elapses.
