Main features of sensitivity settings are listed below.
Sensitivity settings Advantages Disadvantages
Default Default manufacturer settings
High
• forced use of precise treatment technique,
i.e. for training purposes
• protection of the ultrasound head against
too fast usage
• improved sensitivity on
load’s changes
• treatment timer stops more
frequently
Low
• reduced sensitivity on load’s changes
• facilitated treatment performing on small
parts of the body
• facilitated treatment performing on areas
including bones, e.g. hands
• facilitated phonophoresis treatment
performing
• treatment timer does not stop frequently
• rapid usage of ultrasound
head – possible overheat
• reduced comfort of patient’s
sensations – possible increase
of heat feeling in the tissue
