Figure 4.13
Premodulated Current is a medium frequency waveform. Current is
distributed from one channel (two electrodes). The current intensity
is modulated: it increases and decreases at a regular frequency (the
Amplitude Modulation Frequency).

H. Russian- Figure 4.14
Russian Current is a sinusoidal waveform delivered in bursts or series
of pulses. This method was claimed by its author (Kots) to produce
maximal muscle strengthening effects without significant discomfort
to the patient.

I. Microcurrent- Figure 4.15
Microcurrent is a monophasic waveform of very low intensity. The
literature reports beneficial effects of this waveform in the treatment
of wounds. The physiological working mechanism of this effect is as
yet not clearly understood. It is thought to promote tissue healing by
stimulating the "current of injury": a current which naturally occurs
in healing tissue.
