Study Notes
TENS Pulse Waveform
- Typical feature of TENS pulse waveform: asymmetrical, biphasic, or monophasic waveform
Pulse Amplitude for TENS
- Typical range of pulse amplitude for TENS: 10-80 mA
Interferential Therapy (IFT)
- Basic principle of Interferential Therapy (IFT): to stimulate areas of the body using medium frequency currents, resulting in a deeper tissue penetration and reduced discomfort
Denervated Muscle Stimulation
- Type of Denervated muscle stimulation: Surge Wave
Types of TENS
- Pulse pattern for Conventional TENS: high frequency, low intensity, and high pulse width
- Pulse pattern for Acupuncture-like TENS: low frequency, high intensity, and low pulse width
- Pulse pattern for Burst TENS: packages of pulses at high frequency and low intensity
