9. INFORMATION ABOUT
THE PROGRAMME
SETTINGS
Each programme
combination of Frequency and Pulse
Width settings which allow for different
sensations through
optional electrode pads and help to
treat the different types of incontinence.
• Frequency (measured in Hz -
pulses per second)
Low frequencies (1-10 Hz) have a
purifying and relaxing effect through
individual contractions.
Medium frequencies (20-50 Hz) can put
a high level of strain on the muscle, thus
promoting the muscular structure
Endorphin release (programme PAIN
only): A low frequency of 4 or 10 Hz
allows for the release of endorphins, the
body's natural
substances.
• Pulse Width (measured in μs -
millionths of a second)
The perfect PFE unit has pulse widths
of 200 to 300 μs. Generally speaking,
the higher the pulse width, the more
"aggressive" the stimulation feels, if the
pulse width is set high enough, it will
usually elicit a muscle contraction,
has its own
the probe or
morphine-like

which is required for an effective toning
of the pelvic floor muscles.

10.2. PRESET PROGRAMMES

The perfect PFE has five preset
programmes. One for each type of
incontinence (stress, urge and mixed),
one for toning the pelvic floor muscles
(TONE), and one to relieve chronic
pelvic pain (PAIN).
STRESS INCONTINENCE:
Shown on the screen as: STRES
The STRES incontinence programme
strengthens the muscles of the pelvic
floor using gentle stimulation. Once
these muscles are stronger they are
better able to resist urinary leakage
caused by external pressure being
applied to the bladder such as with a
cough, sneeze or physical exertion.
