REHA 25 • TENS alternated (medical program)
TENS program with ON/OFF stimulation effect and pause on both channels,
for a more delicate effect, ideal for patients who tolerate less the tingling
sensation typical of TENS.
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning form a square over the painful area as shown in
Figure1
REHA 26-27 • TENS frequency modulation (medical program)
TENS program with ON/OFF stimulation effect and pause on both channels,
for a more delicate effect, ideal for patients who tolerate less the tingling
sensation typical of TENS.
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning form a square over the painful area as shown in
Figure1.
REHA 28 • TENS amplitude modulation (medical program)
The pulse's amplitude varies continuously, creating a more pleasant sensation
than the programs with constant pulses. Suitable for pain relief; it produces a
massaging effect.
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: form a square over the painful area as shown in
Figure1.
REHA 29 • Kotz Wave (medical program)
Proposed in the seventies by Y. M. Kotz, from which it takes its name. It is a
medium frequency current used for strengthening normally innervated
muscles. It uses 2.5 kHz interrupted carrier current. This consists of 10ms
pulse waves followed by 10 ms of pause; therefore, this program delivers 50
packs of pulses per second. The program consists of 10 seconds of stimulation
at the aforementioned parameters followed by 20 seconds of pause.
The motor exciting effect of the Kotz current takes place deep within the
muscle, because the skin gives less resistance to these currents. It is actually
proven that the electrical impedance of the skin decreases as the frequency
increases.
It's a current with high depth of penetration and good analgesic action, also
producing a trophic action on the patient's muscles. Well tolerated by the
patient, indicated for the treatment of periarthritis, knee arthritis,
meniscopathy.
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: as shown in Figures 01 to 22 of the Position manual.
