Kotz’ current (Russian stimulation)
Kotz’ current is a medium frequency sinusoidal alternating current. For the stimulation a relatively complicated
current train is here applied. Current of 2500 Hz frequency is joined to form rectangular trains or ”bursts” with
length equal to the pause time (e.g. pulse current with 20 Hz frequency consists of bursts lasting 25 ms and
pauses of equal length).
