If stimulation settings other than Interferential 4-pole were chosen for each
channel a Combination screen like this will appear:-
Note that the ‘A’ and ‘B’ stimulation output select buttons are now selectable
independently.
Note also that the treatment time defaults to the last figure entered if two
different times were set for ultrasound and stimulation – this can be altered
by touching the clock icon in this screen.
Only treatment time, ultrasound or stimulation intensity and choice of
constant current (CC) or constant voltage (CV) can be controlled in the
combination screen.
Treatment: Apply coupling medium to the treatment site and position the
ultrasound transducer on the patient so that the lesion point is between the
stimulator electrode(s) and the ultrasound transducer.
Touch the ‘stimulator’ output button(s), turn it on (using the control knob) and
slowly increase the intensity until the patient just feels the normal 'tingling'
sensation associated with the modality.
Turn on the ultrasound output (touch the ‘Ultrasound’ button before turning
the control knob clockwise). The patient may feel a slight increase in
sensation.
Increase the ultrasound intensity to the required level and move the
ultrasound transducer towards the lesion area making sure that there is
always coupling medium between the face of the transducer and the skin.
When directly over the lesion, the patient will feel increased sensation - this
is the centre of the lesion.
Treat with ultrasound and stimulation for the remaining time set.
