W03 • Endorphinic TENS 1 Hz Frequency (medical program)
Cable type: TYPE 1 (see Figure 1 - Cable type.)
Like the previous one with 1Hz frequency.
W04 • Endorphinic TENS 2 Hz Frequency (medical program)
Cable type: TYPE 1 (see Figure 1 - Cable type.)
Like the previous one with 2Hz frequency.
W05 • TENS Scan (medical program)
Cable type: TYPE 1 (see Figure 1 - Cable type.)
The action of this program is very similar to that of the W01 program.
During stimulation, this program modifies the frequency and impulse width
in order to prevent inurement to the stimulation (no need to continuously
adjust the intensity value). Select the intensity at the beginning of the
program and maintain it until the end of the program: set it in order to
produce a slight tingling effect in the treated area. If the perception of
current decreases a lot during the program, do not increase the intensity
value and wait until the end of therapy. The TENS program is working
properly.
Session duration: 20 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: form a square above the painful area as shown in
Figure 2 or refer to photos 25 to 33 of the Position Manual.
Intensity: just above the perception threshold.
W06 • TENS at maximum values (medical program)
Cable type: TYPE 1 (see Figure 1 - Cable type.)
This type of stimulation is suitable for injuries or bruises when rapid action
is required. The intensity selected is the maximum tolerable value (well in
excess of conventional tens, and therefore with considerable contraction
of the muscles surrounding the area treated). That is the reason why such
stimulation is undoubtedly the least tolerated but is extremely effective.
This type of stimulation is not recommended for particularly sensitive
people and in any case the electrodes should not be positioned in sensitive
areas such as the face and genitals or close to wounds.
Session duration: very short, 3 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: form a square above the painful area as shown in
Figure 2 or refer to photos 25 to 33 of the Position Manual.
