Programme for improvement of the blood flow in superficial tissues.
Circulatory disorders.
6 minutes.
Diadynamic current is a Direct Current. At higher current densities DC may cause tissue
damage. Intensity should not exceed 0.2 mA/cm
ably use thick pads/sponges (min. 1 cm).
2 min. DF, 2 min. CP , automatic polarity reverse, 2 min. CP
Slightly prickling, followed by alternating light to moderate vibrations.
Strongly perceptible.
Programme for improvement of the blood flow by means of activation of the muscle
pump function.
Circulatory disorders.
10 minutes.
No DC component, the risk for electrochemical damage (chemical burn) is minimal.
BF.SYM., 150 µs, 15 Hz, contraction rhythm 1/1/1/3, 10 min.
Sequence of fast contractions (fast ramp-up and ramp-down) followed by brief inter-
vals.
Clearly visible muscle contractions.
Programme for improvement of the blood flow by means of activation of the muscle
pump function. Due to the application of a medium frequency current, presumably a
more profound action is obtained.
Circulatory disorders.
10 minutes.
No DC component, the risk for electrochemical damage (chemical burn) is minimal.
IF, 4 kHz, AMF 50 Hz, frequency sweep 50 Hz, sweep cycle 1/1, contraction rhythm 1/
1/1/3, 10 min.
Sequence of fast contractions (fast ramp-up and ramp-down) followed by brief inter-
vals.
Clearly visible muscle contractions.
Programme for improvement of the blood flow in the lower extremities in case of ischemia.
Intermittent claudiation.
30 minutes.
No DC component, the risk for electrochemical damage (chemical burn) is minimal.
BF.SYM., 200 µs, 4 Hz, 30 min.
Fast, rhythmically vibrating stimulation.
Clearly perceptible (sensoric level).
