Waveform Specifications Performa Professional Series ™ ELECTROTHERAPY (Applicable to the Performa Stimul8, Combin8 Quattro & Duo only.) ™ Stimulator Output Parameters IF-4P: IFC (Interferential) Traditional (4 Pole) Waveform Type Sinewave Interferential Current is a medium frequency waveform distributed Output Mode Electrodes through two channels (four electrodes)*.
Performa Professional Series Waveform Specifications ™ IFC (Interferential) Premodulated (2 Pole) Stimulator Output Parameters Premodulated Current is a medium frequency waveform. Current Waveform Type Sinewave comes out of one channel (two electrodes). A bipolar technique in Output Mode Electrodes which the two frequencies are “mixed” inside the machine prior to Mode Selection CC (Constant Current) or tissue delivery.
Waveform Specifications Performa Professional Series ™ BIPHASIC (TENS) Stimulator Output Parameters The Asymmetrical Biphasic and the Symmetrical Biphasic waveforms TENS Asymmetrical Biphasic are often used in TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) Output Mode Electrodes applications. TENS is low frequency waveform and has a short pulse Mode selection CC (Constant Current) or CV (Constant voltage) duration.
Performa Professional Series Waveform Specifications ™ BIPHASIC (RAAS) Stimulator Output Parameters Rapid Agonist Antagonist Sequencing (RAAS) is proposed to mimic RAAS Asymmetrical/Symmetrical Biphasic muscle-firing patterns of healthy individuals. It uses the electrical Output Mode Electrodes stimulation of sensory and motor nerves to achieve a skeletal muscle Mode selection CC (Constant Current) or CV (Constant voltage) contraction using an electromyogram —...
Waveform Specifications Performa Professional Series ™ RUSSIAN STIMULATION Stimulator Output Parameters Russian Current is a medium frequency rectangle waveform, Carrier Frequency 2.5 KHz delivered in bursts or series of pulses. This method was claimed Frequency 20 – 100 Hz, Stepping 5 Hz by its author (Kots) to produce maximal muscle strengthening effects without significant discomfort to the patient.
Performa Professional Series Waveform Specifications ™ HIGH VOLT Stimulator Output Parameters The High Volt waveform has a very brief pulse duration characterized Frequency 1 – 120 Hz, Stepping 1 Hz by 2 distinct peaks delivered at high voltage. High voltage causes a Polarity Positive, or Negative, decreased skin resistance making the current comfortable and easy...
Waveform Specifications Performa Professional Series ™ MICROCURRENT Stimulator Output Parameters Microcurrent is a monophasic waveform of very low intensity which Frequency 0.1 – 1,000 Hz, Stepping 0.1 Hz/1 Hz replicates the body’s use of natural frequencies when repairing Polarity Positive, Negative, Alternating or growing its new cells.
Performa Professional Series Waveform Specifications ™ Stimulator Output Parameters NMS is a symmetrical biphasic waveform with a 120 µs interphase Output Mode Electrodes interval. Because the pulse is relatively short, it is suitable Mode selection CC (Constant Current) or for applications requiring high intensities, such as in muscle CV (Constant Voltage) strengthening protocols.
