8. INFORMATION ABOUT
THE PROGRAMME
SETTINGS
Each programme
combination of Frequency and Pulse
Width settings which allow for different
sensations through
optional electrode pads and help
treating the different
incontinence.
• Frequency (measured in Hz -
pulses per second)
Low frequencies (1-10 Hz) have a
purifying and relaxing effect through
individual contractions.
Medium frequencies (20-50 Hz) can put
a high level of strain on the muscle, thus
promoting the muscular structure.
• Pulse Width (measured in μs -
millionths of a second)
The Elise 2 unit has pulse widths of 200
to 300 μs. Generally speaking, the
higher the pulse width, the more
"aggressive" the stimulation feels, if the
pulse width is set high enough, it will
usually elicit a muscle contraction,
which is required for an effective toning
of the pelvic floor muscles.

The has
programmes. One for each type of
incontinence (stress, urge and mixed),
and one for toning the pelvic floor
muscles (TONE).
STRESS INCONTINENCE:
Shown on the screen as: STRES
The STRES incontinence programme
strengthens the muscles of the pelvic
floor using gentle stimulation. Once
these muscles are stronger, they are
better able to resist urinary leakage
caused by external pressure being
applied to the bladder such as with a
cough, sneeze or physical exertion.
The stimulation causes the muscles to
contract and work. This builds their
strength. Like other fitness training,
