Neofaradic pulse currents
The neofaradic current is a low frequency pulse current, which is a modern version of the faradic current. It
consists of positive rectangular or triangular pulses with a duration of 1 ms and a variable frequency (and
therefore a variable pause time).
The neofaradic current is used to stimulate properly innervated muscles in order to stimulate the muscle to
contract, re-educate and train new muscle actions.

Polarization
NOR
For such polarization setting red plug is a
positive electrode, and black plug is a
negative electrode.
REV
For such polarization setting red plug is a
negative electrode and black plug is a
positive electrode. Warning means that
such a setting is the reverse of commonly
accepted way of marking polarity.
ALT
Automatic polarization switch in the half
