Various interpulse rest phases were tested ranging from 10 through to 50 seconds. Both the 40 and the 50 seconds rest were identified as effective, though some subjects appeared to start to demonstrate fatigue with the 40 seconds rest, hence the 50 second period was subsequently adopted.]]> 2016-11-18 16:28:43 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielledemers11/5vsifq2xxn3h/wish/138752909 adgreg2000 https://padlet.com/gabrielledemers11/5vsifq2xxn3h/wish/138753885 The stimulation was applied at a range of 'medium' frequencies (100-500-1000-2500-3000-5000Hz) and it was found that as the stimulating frequency increased, there was a greater comfort for the recipient, and it was therefore (predictably) identified that a greater current could be delivered to the muscle with increased (higher) frequencies.]]> 2016-11-18 16:31:23 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielledemers11/5vsifq2xxn3h/wish/138753885 carolynehaseley https://padlet.com/gabrielledemers11/5vsifq2xxn3h/wish/138754162 The mechanism of the muscle stimulation is it delivers small pulsating currents directly on the muscles, which in turn promotes muscle stimulation, blood circulation and muscle healing. The main benefit of electrical muscle stimulation therapy is pain relief]]> 2016-11-18 16:32:13 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielledemers11/5vsifq2xxn3h/wish/138754162 adgreg2000 https://padlet.com/gabrielledemers11/5vsifq2xxn3h/wish/138754472 The continuous vs burst protocols were evaluated (i.e. continuous 2500Hz or 2500Hz burst at 10ms intervals). There was no significant difference in the maximal force generated, but the burst mode generated the same result with less current having been applied (50% less). The recommendation is therefore that the stimulation should be applied with a 2500Hz carrier medium frequency sinusoidal alternating current, burst at 50 Hz (10ms ON : 10ms OFF) at a maximum tolerable level.]]> 2016-11-18 16:33:08 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielledemers11/5vsifq2xxn3h/wish/138754472 adgreg2000 https://padlet.com/gabrielledemers11/5vsifq2xxn3h/wish/138755175 therapy is an effective therapy option used by many physiotherapy clinics to relieve pain and accelerate the self-healing process, getting your body back to a healthy, pain free state.

The principle of using the sweep is that the machine is set to automatically vary the effective stimulation frequency using either pre-set or user set sweep ranges. The sweep range employed should be appropriate to the desired physiological effects (see below). It has been repeatedly demonstrated that ‘wide’ sweep ranges are ineffective whenever they have been tested or evaluated in the clinical environment

The main difference between the two is how the current is delivered to the patient’s muscle tissue. With premod current, a single channel is used to mix the frequencies prior to delivery of the current through the electrode of the body (using two electrodes rather than four). This is beneficial when treating areas of the body that have less space available for electrode placement. This makes it the perfect choice to use on smaller muscle groups and joints such as the elbow, ankle, foot, and hands.]]> 2016-11-21 16:01:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielledemers11/5vsifq2xxn3h/wish/139135143 carolynehaseley https://padlet.com/gabrielledemers11/5vsifq2xxn3h/wish/139137689 2016-11-21 16:09:53 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielledemers11/5vsifq2xxn3h/wish/139137689
