14.11.4.5 Stimulation energy
The energy is gradually increased for each contraction until the maximum tolerable energy level is reached.
The therapist plays a fundamental role in encouraging and reassuring the patient, who can then tolerate
levels of energy that produce powerful contractions.
If the TENS programme is used on channels 3 and 4, the energy will be adjusted on these channels so that
the patient clearly feels moving tingling.
However, care must be taken to ensure that the energy is low enough to avoid any muscle contraction.
