Session duration: 30 minutes.
Position of electrodes: form a square on the painful area like Figure 1 or the
above scheme.
REHA24-25 • TENS with frequency modulation (medical program)
The frequency modulation of these two TENS programs results in a more
comfortable stimulation for the patient and in a better tolerability for
treatment of sensitive areas. These programs are indicated for pain treatment
and for massage on the muscles.
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Position of electrodes: form a square on the painful area like Figure 1 or the
above scheme.
REHA26 • TENS with amplitude modulation (medical program)
During stimulation, this program modifies by itself the impulse width. This
results in a more comfortable stimulation compared to the one with constant
width impulse. Program indicated for pain treatment and massage effect on
muscles.
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Position of electrodes: form a square on the painful area like Figure 1 or the
above scheme.
REHA 27 • Kotz (medical program)
Kotz current has been presented by Y.M.Kotz (who gave it his name) in seventy
years. It's a middle-frequency current and it's used in normally innervated
muscle strengthening. A 2,5 kHz interrupted carrier current is used. It's
characterized by impulses train of 10ms duration and 10ms pause; therefore
50 impulses packages are supplied for each second. The program consists in 10
seconds of stimulation (with parameters above mentioned) and 20 seconds of
rest.
Kotz excitomotor effect happens in deep tissues because of their less
resistance. In fact, it has been demonstrated that skin electrical impedance
decreases with frequency increase.
It is a current with deep penetration capacity in the tissues with good analgesic
action and, at the same time, a trophic action on the patient's musculature.
Well tolerated by the patient and suggested in the treatments of periarthritis,
knee osteoarthritis, meniscopathy.
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Position of electrodes: from photo 1 to photo 20 of the Positions manual.
