- Electro-Stimulator (laptop) is an electronic device that stimulates the peripheral nerves.

The stimulation is achieved by applying an electric wave constant current through the skin.
The wave amplitude is controlled electronically, as the width and the frequency of
make such wave pulses.
Depending on how you adjust the equipment and application points, this team is indicated for:
• Pain relief.
• Treatment flabby body parts.
• muscle training.
• Eliminate muscle spasm.
The Electro-Stimulator-TENS is a method that does not produce any reactions
high power since the game is very low.

Electrical specifications:
- Class I device
- A Batteries
- 25 Watts average comsumption
Waveshape: asimetrical square pulse.
Pulsse amplitud: adjustable; from 2 to 50 mA peak over 500 ohm load

TENS IS CONTRAINDICATED IN PATIENTS WITH PACEMAKERS

The use of the equipment is very simple:
Electrodes are applied in the area that corresponds to a bit of gel on them to maintain a moist layer of rubber between the electrode and skin, and held with rubber bands.
Electrodes are plugged into the computer.
The pulse width knob is set at the minimum, and the frequency (pulses per second) as indicated in each case.
The pulse widths are recommended only when there is low sensitivity nerve or muscle.
Is turned on and slowly increase the amplitude until you feel a tingling, pricking, local numbness or heat should not be reached to cause burning or pain.

This is a very simple to use equipment:
Apply a bit of gel on the electrodes and place them on the correspondent area with the elastic straps.
Connect the electrodes to the computer.
The width pulse knob is set to the minimum, and the frequency (pulses per second) as indicated in every particular case.
Pulse widths are only recommended when there is low nervous or muscular sensitivity.
Turn on the equipment and increase amplitude slowly until feeling a tingling, pricking, local numbness or heat sensation. Stop if feeling pain.

THE STIMULATOR TENS transcutaneous nerve is called by its acronym in English, TRANSCUTANEAL ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION.
 
According to bibliographic compilations, the frequency of about 100 Hz (pulses per second) excite the afferent nerve pathways to block pain transmission (Control Gate Mechanismus).
Frequencies from 2 to 10 Hz (pulses per second) are best placed to release endorphins and relieve pain through these substances.
The frequency of 100 Hz produce a tingling sensation and is more bearable than the low frequencies.
The frequencies of 10 Hz or less, produce an unpleasant sensation for some patients, these impulses cause muscle contraction that is exactly what causes an indirect anti-pain effect.
A compromise solution is used infrequently as possible to produce a sense of continuity. This frequency range around 30 Hz (pulses per second).
 
Observe the light and low-frequency basis, to increase this to the point where the light just seems to continue.
In the case of high-frequency lock, this is exciting on one or more sensory dermatomes.
In the case of low frequency lock, the idea is to excite dermatomes engines.
 
ELECTRO-MUSCLE STIMULATION
 
Applications are made at frequencies from 6 to 500 ppm (6 to 500 pulses per minutes).
Is indicated for:
• Lost muscle tone after a prolonged plaster or similar situation.
• Harden flabby body parts for cosmetic reasons.
• Reactivate the bloodstream through muscular movement forced by the TENS
• electric massage.
Back pain. FIG. 1 and 2
The electrodes are placed in the painful area on the right and left of the spine.
The distance between them can vary.
The recommended frequency is 30 to 100 Hz (pulses per second).
If placed near the neck, arm pain may decrease (Fig. 1).
If placed on the lumbar region, may reduce leg pain (Fig. 2).
You can also use 1 to 10 Hz which release anti-pain substances, but at this frequency, in certain patients is cumbersome and poorly supported.
 
Sciatica. FIG. 3
 
The top electrode is placed over the painful area and the patient is the right to choose the same position. The other electrode is placed behind the knee or the sole,
behind the toes.
The recommended frequency is 100 Hz
After 5 to 10 minutes should begin to decrease pain.
 
CONTRACTION OF THE REGION OF THE NECK. FIG. 4
 
Pain caused by fatigue of cervical vertebrae.
The recommended frequency is 100 Hz
 
BACK PAIN FIG. 5, 6 and 7
 
In general are due to muscle contraction.
The placement of the electrodes can vary the painful area.
The recommended frequency is 100 Hz and may be alternated with a 10 Hz electric massage
 
Elbow pain. FIG. 8 AND 9
 
Knee pain. FIG. 10
Finger pain. FIG. 11
DOLORES REGION OF LOWER FOREARM. FIG. 12
PAIN AND MEMBER GHOST Communion. G. 13 AND 14
 
In all these cases the electrode positions are shown in figures
concerned.
The recommended frequency is 100Hz.
You can try to lower frequencies to compare the effect in each case.
For example: 80, 60, 30 Hz
