4. Introduction

The Knee and elbow TENS is a single-channel TENS de-
vice and falls into the category of electrostimulation units.
Gentle electrical pulses are sent via water contact elec-
trodes through the skin to the nerve fibers. The innovative
Knee and elbow TENS provides temporary pain relief in the
knee and elbow area.
TENS, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, relates
to the electrical stimulation of the nerves via the skin. TENS
is an effective nonpharmacological method of treating dif-
ferent types of pain that have a variety of causes. It has no
side-effects if administered correctly. The method has been
clinically tested and approved and can be used for simple
self-treatment. The pain-relieving or pain-suppressing effect
is achieved by inhibiting the transference of pain to nerve
fibers (caused mainly by high-frequency impulses) and by
increasing the secretion of endorphins in the body. Their ef-
fect on the central nervous system reduces the sensation
of pain. The method is scientifically substantiated and ap-
proved as a form of medical treatment.
Any symptoms that could be relieved using TENS must be
checked by your doctor. Your doctor will also give you in-
structions on how to carry out a TENS self-treatment re-
gime.
The device is designed to be used for temporary relief for
sore and aching muscles in the upper extremities (arms)
and lower extremities (legs) due to strain from exercise or
normal household and working activities.
