EMS User Program allows for individual selection of rectangular pulse parameters for electromuscular stimulation. By adjusting parameters such as frequency, pulse width, rise time, and pulse intervals, the stimulus can be tailored to the patient’s individual needs, ensuring it is both comfortable and effective.

Parameter Selection Guide:

Pulse Frequency:

Low (1-10 Hz) has a relaxing and analgesic effect,
Medium (20-50 Hz) is optimal for inducing effective, yet comfortable, muscle contractions,
High (>50 Hz) provides strong tetanic contractions, but may be less pleasant for the patient.

Pulse Width (Duration):

Longer pulses (e.g., 300-400 µs) increase stimulation effectiveness but may be less comfortable,
Shorter pulses (e.g., 100-200 µs) are gentler but usually less effective.

Rise time:

Extending this time improves patient comfort, especially at higher intensities.

Duty cycle time:

A properly selected work-to-rest ratio (e.g., 1:2 or 1:3) prevents excessive muscle fatigue,
For example, 5 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest (1:2 ratio) allows for effective muscle stimulation while maintaining their ability to recover,
Shorter rest periods increase training intensity but can lead to faster fatigue.

Properly selecting these parameters allows for optimal therapeutic and training results while minimizing discomfort during the treatment.
