10. Electric current parameters

Electrostimulation devices operate with the following electric
current settings, which may affect the stimulation results differently,
depending on the setting:

10.1 Impulse shape

This describes the time function of the electrical
impulse.
It distinguishes between monophasic and
biphasic pulse currents. In monophasic pulse
currents, the current flows in one direction and
in biphasic pulse currents the electrical impulse
alternates its direction.
The digital EMS/TENS unit only provides biphasic pulse currents as
these relieve muscles, cause little muscle fatigue and provide safer
application.

10.2 Impulse frequency

The frequency indicates the number of individual
impulses per second and is displayed in Hz
(Hertz). It can be calculated by determining the
cyclic value for the time period. The relevant frequency determines
which types of muscle fibres react best. Slow-reacting fibres react
more easily to lower impulse frequencies of up to 15 Hz, whereas
fast-reacting fibres only respond from approximately 35 Hz onwards.
Impulses of approx. 45–70 Hz are linked with constant tension in
the muscles and quicker fatigue. Higher impulse frequencies are
therefore better to use for high-speed strength and maximum power
training.

10.3 Impulse width

This indicates the duration of an individual
impulse in microseconds. The impulse width
therefore determines, among other things, the
penetration of the electricity, where usually larger
muscle mass requires a larger impulse width.

10.4 Impulse intensity

Setting the intensity level depends on the
individual sensitivity of each user and is
determined by a variety of variables, such as
site of application, blood supply to the skin,
skin thickness and the quality of the electrode contact. The
settings should be effective but should never cause an unpleasant
sensation, such as pain at the site of application. While a gentle

tingling indicates sufficient stimulation energy levels, any setting that
causes pain should be avoided.
When using the device for an extended period, you may need to
adjust the intensity level, as your muscles may start to adapt to the
impulse intensity.
