I believe you have the acupuncture/low rate TENS parameters mixed up with the brief intense (NOXIOUS) TENS. Correct me if i am wrong though. I am using the book: Physical Agents in Rehabilitation as a reference. Thanks for the video!!
Can you explain pulses per second versus pulse width? I do not understand how either of those two measures are scaled or what they actually mean. Thank you!
Pulse width is a generalized term to discuss the length of time the stimulation pulse is on, or how wide the stimulation pulse is. It is commonly measured in microseconds (usec) or 1 second divided into 1 million equal parts. Pulse rate is how many times each stimulation pulse is delivered per second.
I believe you are confusing milliseconds with microseconds... e.g. you say 1 - 10 pulses per second has a pulse duration of 100 to 1000 and you call the unit milliseconds if that were so 10 x 100mS pulses would actually be DC because there is only 1000mS in a Second! Similarly 1 pules per second of 1000mS duration is again DC NOT pulsed at all similar applies to a lesser extent to your other modes on TENS. I suspect you really mean millionths of a second or microseconds or uS or use the greek micro character if its easy to find using your input method. (it's not easy on mine) ALSO where you described a treatment time a continuous current 30 mins it was not a continuous current but a continuous pulsed current. Continuous current is again DC which will not provide the desired effect and if anyone quotes your values in an accredited test they will fail due to the incorrect use of units of measurement and incorrect use of electrical terminology.
Great video I have a test on this tomorrow in one my Athletic Training classes tomorrow and this really helped!
