on/off (duty cycle): 10s/50s

treatment duration: 10-15 contractions, follow with volitional

NMES sustained contraction

frequency: 30-50 bps

phase duration: 200-300 microseconds

intensity: motor

ramp: 2-3 s

on/off: 10s/50s

treatment duration: 10-15 contractions, follow with volitional

NMES, TENS

intensity: motor

treatment duration: variable, about 10 minutes

TENS, twitching

frequency: 2-4 pps

phase duration: 100-300 microseconds

intensity: motor

IFC

frequency: 80-150 bps (difference between 2 carrier frequencies)

intensity: sub motor/sensory

quad polar set up! (crossing channels, not just colors of cords)
