Question 1

conventional TENS set up

Answer 1

60-150 pps
50-100 msec
15-20 min

Question 2

indication of conventional TENS

Answer 2

acute/chronic pain
– basically any pain

Question 3

burst TENS set up

Answer 3

100 pps, 1-4 pps bursts
0.1-0.3 msec
intensity = muscle contraction

Question 4

burst TENS indication

Answer 4

sharp
chronic
severe/pathological pain

Question 5

IFC set up

Answer 5

quadripolar setup, 2 channels
80-150 pps beat frequency
control of SWEEP/VECTOR

Question 6

IFC indication and resultant pps

Answer 6

80-120 = subacute/chronic pain
130-150 = acute pain
