accommodation effects of regular,
patterned stimulation. This is potentially
most useful for patients who use TENS
for several hours a day, if for no other
reason than accommodation occurs at
a slower rate and therefore less
intensity adjustment may be required.
Note: If you are using TENS for
the
first
recommended that you start
with a setting of 110 Hz and 50 μs.
For more information about which
settings to choose for the different type
of pain, refer to section 7.3.
7. MODES
TENS One has three different modes:
• N: Constant/Normal stimulation with
adjustable parameters
• B: Burst stimulation with adjustable
settings.
Two stimulations per second, 250 ms
on, 250 ms off; pulse width and pulse
rate are selectable.
• M: Stimulation with modulated pulse
width and modulated frequency.
Pulse
rate
modulates
to PR2 or PR2 to PR1 while pulse
width modulates from PW1 to PW2 or
PW2 to PW1 within 6 seconds. PR1
and PW1 are adjustable. PR2 is 50
Hz fixed, PW2 is 200 μs fixed.
To choose a mode, press the button
MODE, until you reach the desired
mode.

from PR1
research
that

frequency increased – but only tested
up to 100 Hz.
And that E decreases as the frequency
increases.
So, E is less effective when the
frequency is >10 Hz and P is less
effective when the frequency is <80 Hz.
Most clinical research on P has been
done at 80 Hz or 100 Hz.
Many professional users believe that
the response to TENS varies between
individuals, and that you can get the
best
response
by
frequency that suits your nervous
system the best. They suggest that you
start at 80 Hz or 110 Hz, then try
different the frequency until you find
one that gives you better pain relief.
7.2. SELECTING THE
PARAMETERS
Before adjusting the parameters, select
the mode of your choice.
• Frequency:
To

knob
decrease, rotate the
clockwise. You can select a frequency
from 1 to 150 Hz.
• Pulse Width: To increase the pulse
width, rotate the pulse width knob
clockwise. To decrease, rotate the
knob anti-clockwise. You can select a
pulse width from 50 to 250 µs in steps
of 10 µs.
• Timer: For each mode, you can select
a treatment duration with the timer
button. You can select a duration of C
(Continuous), 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90
minutes.
