  • Page 6: Introduction To The Product

    NeuroTrac™ IFC Rehab Operation Manual 2. Introduction to the product NeuroTrac™ IFC Rehab is a pain control and muscle stimulator device. It combines Interferential stimulator (IFC), Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) and Neuromuscular Electrical stimulator (NMS) in one unit. The device consists of two independent circuits, one for IFC, another for TENS/NMS stimulation.

  • Page 7: What Is Nms

    NeuroTrac™ IFC Rehab Operation Manual These larger nerve fibres transmit less unpleasant sensations such as touch or warmth, assisting us to form an impression of our environment. Stimulating the larger nerve fibres using TENS may have the effect of inhibiting the transmission of pain along the smaller nerve fibres to the spinal cord (this effect is known as the ‘Pain Gate Theory’).
