RUSSIAN & BIPHASIC - Treatment Instructions
30
would deliver stimulation for 10 seconds to the first muscle, followed by 10 seconds of
stimulation to the reciprocal muscle. The 30-second rest time follows each stimulation. The
timing of the two cycles will overlap (the first muscle group is stimulated after a 30-second
rest, even though the second muscle group is 20 seconds into its rest cycle). The Continuous
contraction cycle is not available for Reciprocal treatments. Two channels are required (1
and 2).
Basic Biphasic / Russian Setup
1. Choose BIPHASIC or RUSSIAN.
2. Choose the TREATMENT MODE (Normal, Co-contraction, Reciprocal).
• Plug the patient lead(s) into the output jack(s) for the channel(s) selected.
• Give the remote stop cable to the patient.
3. Choose the CONTRACTION/REST times.
4. Choose the RAMP setting.
5. Change the treatment TIME, if desired.
6. Change the PULSE WIDTH and/or PULSE RATE, if desired.
7. Raise the INTENSITY to the desired level.
8. For co-contraction or reciprocal treatments, toggle to the SECOND CHANNEL and set
the INTENSITY for this channel.
9. Press START.
10. Press STOP if you need to stop a treatment before its time has expired (stops all current
treatments).
Detailed Biphasic / Russian Setup
If you do not understand the terms contraction, rest, ramp time, pulse width, or pulse rate, consult
the diagrams in the section of this manual entitled “Biphasic / Russian Parameters.”
1. Press the BIPHASIC / RUSSIAN key once to choose BIPHASIC, or press this key twice
to choose RUSSIAN.
When you select this modality, the default settings are automatically selected. If you
