PAIN RELIEF / MUSCLE REHAB

HAND-HELD DEVICE

TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATOR (TENS)

    ELECTRICAL MUSCLE STIMULATOR (EMS)

Many clinical studies have proven the effectiveness of TENS for effective pain relief. For more than 30 years now, TENS has become an established and widely used method of therapy for the treatment of many acute and chronic pain syndromes.

The EMS is the answer for the treatment of a wide variety of muscle related problems.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation is not a new concept and it has been used for decades  It works by using very weak electrical impulses to contract and relax muscles. The TE-14 will deliver an output suitable for effective muscular rehabilitation.

The TE-14 puts muscle stimulation all together in a package that is both easy to use and extremely patient friendly. Treatment regimens can be much better facilitated using the TE-14 both at home or at work.

Pain warns the body of injury. Without it, vital parts of the body might be injured without our knowledge. Pain, once diagnosed serves no apparent purpose, especially long lasting or persistent pain. The  TENS transmits small electrical pulses through the skin to the underlying peripheral nerves to help control this pain. It's easy to use, safe and portable and this makes it a preferred treatment over the long term use of medications, nerve blocks, or surgery for chronic pain.

This device has been designed for the following:

TENS
-
Symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain
- Post Traumatic and post surgical relief

EMS

-Relaxation of muscle spasm
- Increasing local blood circulation
-Muscle re-education
- Prevention of retardation of disuse artrophy
- Prevention of venous thrombosis of the calf muscles immediately after      surgery
- Maintain or increase range of motion

 Some examples of pain syndromes that may be treated using TENS are :-

Arthritis

 Osteoarthritis

 Cervical spondylosis

 Low back pain

 Fibrositis/Myofascial pain syndromes 

 Acute sprains/strains e.g. Sports injuries

 Tendinitis/Bursitis

 Carpal Tunnel syndrome  

 Radiculopathy

 Peripheral nerve injuries

 Phantom limb pain

 Post herpetic neuralgia

 Post operative pain

 Spinal cord disorders

 Pain in the terminally ill e.g. Metastasis

 Labour pain 

 Many other problems concerning nerves, muscles and bones.!!!

TENS

MODE

Interpretations

Burst

(B)

The burst mode provides a “burst” of seven pulses. There are two bursts that are delivered per second. Positive pulse and negative pulse iterate continuously at fixed 100Hz. Pulse width are adjustable from 50~300μs

Normal

(N)

The normal mode produces a continuous train of impulses. The stimulation parameters are not automatically interrupted nor varied in any way. In this mode, the pulse rate (from 2 to 150Hz) and pulse width (from 50 to 300μs) are fully adjustable. The normal mode is quite versatile because it may be applied with a variety if rate and width settings.

Modulated Rate & Width

(MRW)

The pulse rate and width are automatically varied in a cycle to produce a pleasant, massage-like sensation. It’s believed that nerves can become accustomed to, or “accommodated” to the same electrical stimulus after a period of time and thus would require increasing the intensity to further “block” the pain. The MRW mode was produced to offer a variety of different electrical stimulation, thus preventing nerve accommodation so that less intensity is required for long and effective treatment.  In this mode, during the beginning of 0.5 second period, the WIDTH decreased to 50% of its original setting and then during the next 0.5 second period, the RATE is decreased to 50% of its original setting. Therefore, the total cycle time is 1 second.

Strength

Duration

(SD)

Strength-Duration modulation consists of alternating modulated intensity and pulse width, so that the intensity is always increasing while the pulse width is decreasing and vice-versa. The stimulation intensity is modulated to 62.5% maximum of setting (width equal to setting). The pulse width is modulated to 67% of setting (intensity equal to setting). Total cycle time is 6 seconds.  Pulse rate (from 2 to 150Hz) and pulse width (from 50 to 300μs) are fully adjustable.

Bi-Pulse

(Bi)

Delivers 4 pulses per second to Channel 1 (i.e. the pulse rate of Channel 1 is fixed at 4Hz) while delivering 100 pulses per second to Channel 2 (i.e. the pulse rate of Channel 2 is fixed at 100Hz). Stimulation is burst on for 1 second, then off for 1 second. There illustrates each pulse as a vertical line.  Pulse width (from 50 to 300μs) is fully adjustable.

 


 

 

EMS

MODE

Interpretations

Alternate

“A”

The pulses of CHANNEL 1 and CHANNEL 2 are Alternate. When Channel 1 is activated, Channel 2 will be inactivated and vice versa.

In this mode, ON TIME value should be set for more than ramp up value plus ramp down value; OFF TIME value should be set for more than ON TIME value.  For example, if you set on ramp value for 2 seconds, ON TIME should be set for more than 4 seconds (2+2), and OFF TIME should be set for more than 4 seconds.

i.e. ON TIME Ramp up + Ramp down

OFF TIME ON TIME

Synchronous

“S”

The pulses of CHANNEL 1 and CHANNEL 2 are synchronous. While Channel 1 is activated, Channel 2 will be activated simultaneously. The pulses active and inactive duration is controlled by ON TIME and OFF TIME.

In this mode, ON TIME value should be set for more than ramp up value plus ramp down value. For example, if you set on ramp value for 2 seconds, ON TIME should be set for more than 4 seconds (2+2).

i.e. ON TIME Ramp up + Ramp down

 

 All values have ± 10% tolerance
