(Burst)

On-Time (sec.) = Cycle switch-on time in seconds (contraction) – Off-Time (sec.) = Cycle switch-off time in seconds (relaxation)

Note: Electrode position is supposed to surround the painful area. With painful muscle groups, the electrodes are grouped round the muscle affected. In case of joint pain, the

joint on the front/rear side of the joint and, if electrode distances permit, on the right and left sides of the joint, should be surrounded with electrodes.

Minimal electrode distance should not be less than 5 cm and not exceed 15 cm. See figure no. 9 an 10 for knee and ankle joint.

Burst programmes are suitable for all sites which should be treated with an alternating signal pattern (to ensure minimum habituation).
