1.2 Medical background

EXPLANATION OF PAIN

Pain is a warning system and the body’s method of telling us that something is wrong. Pain is important; without it abnormal conditions may go undetected, causing damage or injury to vital parts of our bodies. Even though pain is a necessary warning signal of trauma or malfunction in the body, nature may have gone too far in its design. Aside from its value in diagnosis, long-lasting persistent pain serves no useful purpose. Pain does not begin until the coded message travels to the brain where it is decoded, analyzed, and then reacted to. The pain message travels from the injured area along the small nerves leading to the spinal cord. Here the message is switched to different nerves that travel up the spinal cord to the brain. The pain message is then interpreted, referred back and the pain is felt.

EXPLANATION OF TENS

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a noninvasive, drug free method of controlling pain. TENS uses tiny electrical impulses sent through the skin to nerves to modify your pain perception. TENS does not cure any physiological problem; it

only helps control the pain. TENS does not work for everyone;

however, in most patients it is effective in reducing or eliminating the pain, allowing for a return to normal activity.

HOW TENS WORKS

There is nothing “magic” about Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). TENS is intended to be used to relieve pain. The TENS unit sends comfortable impulses through the skin that stimulate the nerve (or nerves) in the treatment area. In many cases, this stimulation will greatly reduce or eliminate the pain sensation the patient feels. Pain relief varies by individual patient, mode selected for therapy, and the type of pain. In many patients, the reduction or elimination of pain lasts longer than the actual period of stimulation (sometimes as much as three to four times longer). In others, pain is only modified while stimulation actually Occurs. You may discuss this with your physician or therapist.

EXPLANATION OF EMS

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is an internationally accepted and proven way of treating muscular injuries. It works by sending electronic pulses to the muscle needing treatment; this causes the muscle to exercise passively. It is a product derived from the square waveform, originally invented by John Faraday in 1831. Through the square wave pattern it is able to work directly on muscle motor neurons. This device has low frequency and in conjunction with the square wave pattern allows direct work on muscle groupings. This is being widely used in hospitals and sports clinics for the treatment of muscular injuries and for the reeducation muscles and improving muscle tone and blood circulation.

of paralyzed muscles, to prevent atrophy in affected

HOW EMS WORKS

The EMS units send comfortable impulses through the skin that stimulate the nerves in the treatment area. When the muscle receives this signal it contracts as if the brain has sent the signal itself. As the signal strength increases, the muscle flexes as in physical exercise. Then when the pulse ceases, the muscle relaxes and the cycle is repeated. The goal of electrical muscle stimulation is to achieve contractions or vibrations in the muscles. Normal muscular activity is controlled by the central and peripheral nervous systems, which transmit electrical signals to the muscles. EMS works similarly but uses an external source (the stimulator) with electrodes attached to the skin for transmitting electrical impulses into the body. The impulses stimulate the nerves to send signals to a specifically targeted muscle, which reacts by contracting, just as it does with normal muscular activity.

WHAT IS IF?

Interferential Stimulation IF is an anti-inflammatory based treatment modality. Interferential stimulation is characterized by two alternating-current sine waves or square waves of differing frequencies that “work” together to produce an interferential current that is also known as a beat pulse or alternating modulation frequency. One of the two currents is usually held at 4,000 Hz, and the other can be held constant or varied over a range of 4,001 to 4,100 Hz. Because of the frequency, the interferential wave meets low impedance when crossing the skin to enter deep into soft tissues. The interferential currents reportedly can stimulate sensory, motor, and pain fibers. These large impulse fibers interfere with the transmission of pain messages at the spinal cord level. This deep tissue penetration stimulates parasympathetic nerve fibers for increased blood flow and edema reduction. It utilizes the low electric-current to stimulate muscle nerves to achieve the symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain, post-traumatic pain, and post-surgical pain.

WHAT IS MICROCURRENT?

Microcurrent stimulation is a type of therapy in which very low current is sent into the cells of the body. Microcurrent is a very faint current that is so small it is measured in millionths of an amp (Microamps). Human cells generate a current that is in the micro amp range which is why you can’t feel it - the current is so low it doesn’t stimulate the sensory nerves. Microcurrent is a physiological electric modality that increases ATP (energy) production in the cells of your body. This dramatically increases the tissue’s healing rate. The immediate response to the correct microcurrent frequency suggests that other mechanisms are involved as well. The exact effects or changes in the tissue are unmistakable; scars will often suddenly soften; trigger points often become less painful within minutes when the “correct” frequency is applied. In many situations the changes seen seem to be long lasting and in many cases permanent.

6. Cleaning and Care

6.1 Tips for skin care

To avoid skin irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin, follow these suggestions:

1) Wash the area of skin where you will be placing the

electrodes, using mild soap and water before applying electrodes, and after taking them off. Be sure to rinse soap off thoroughly and dry skin well.

2) Excess hair may be clipped with scissors; do not shave

stimulation area.

3) Wipe the area with the skin preparation your clinician has

recommended. Let this dry. Apply electrodes as directed.

4) Many skin problems arise from the “pulling stress” from

adhesive patches that are excessively stretched across the skin during application. To prevent this, apply electrodes from center outward; avoid stretching over the skin.

5) To minimize “pulling stress”, tape extra lengths of lead wires to

the skin in a loop to prevent tugging on electrodes.

6) When removing electrodes, always remove by pulling in the

direction of hair growth.

7) It may be helpful to rub skin lotion on electrode placement area

when not wearing electrodes.

8) Never apply electrodes over irritated or broken skin.

6.2 Cleaning the device

1) Remove the battery from the device every time when you clean

the device.

2) Clean the device after use with a soft, slight moistened cloth.

In case of more extreme soiling you can also moisten the cloth with mild soapy water.

3) Do not use any chemical cleaners or abrasive agents for

cleaning.

6.3 Electrodes

1) Use the device only with the leads and electrodes provided by

the manufacturer. Use only the electrode placements and stimulation settings prescribed by your physician or therapist.

2) It is recommended that, at minimum, 1.5” x 1.5” self-adhering

electrodes should be used at the treatment area.

3) Inspect your electrodes before every use. Replace electrodes

as needed. Reusable electrodes may lose adhesion properties and deliver less stimulation if overused.

cause slight skin irritation,

To use these electrodes:

1) Attach the electrode to the lead wire.

2) Remove the protective backing from the electrode surface.

Do not throw away the protective backing because it is reused after the treatment session has been completed.

3) Place the tacky surface to the prescribed skin area by pressing

the electrode firmly against the skin.

To remove your electrodes:

1) Lift the corner of the electrode and gently remove it from the

skin.

2) It may be helpful to improve repeated application by

spreading a few drops of cold water over the adhesive and turn the surface up to air dry. Over Saturation with water will reduce the adhesive properties.

3) Between uses, store the electrodes in the resealable bag in a

cool dry place.

Caution:

Do not pull on the electrode wire. Doing so may damage

the wire and electrode.

Do not apply to broken skin.

The electrodes should be discarded when they are no

longer adhering.

The electrodes are intended for single patient use only.

If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your

clinician.

Read the instructions for use of self-adhesive electrodes

before application.

)7 Always use the electrodes with the requirements of the

IEC/EN60601-1, ISO10993-1/-5/-10 and IEC/ EN60601-1-2, such as with CE mark, or are legally marketed in the US under 510(K) procedure.

6.4 Cleaning the Electrode's cords

Clean the electrode cords by wiping them with a damp cloth. Coating them lightly with talcum powder will reduce tangles and prolong the life.

6.5 Maintenance

1) Maintenance and all repairs should only be carried out by an

authorized agency. The manufacturer will not be held responsible for the results of maintenance or repairs by unauthorized persons.

2) The user must not attempt any repairs to the device or

accessories. Please contact the retailer for repair.

3) Opening of the equipment by unauthorized agencies is not

allowed and will terminate any claim to warranty.

4) Check the unit before each use for signs of wear and/or damage.

Replace worn items as required.
