Glossary
Activity Reading – An objective measure of skin impedance that is used to
provide relative measures between different points on the skin.
Burst *– Stimulation presets that deliver multiple pulses per burst are
indicated by *.e.g., 480* is 8 pulses per burst, 60 bursts per second.
Condition Screen – The main menu of the InterX 5002 that provides a guide
to select stimulation patterns based on the patient’s condition.
Cycle – Predefined cycle of preset stimulation patterns most often used with
the Flexible Array electrode.
Impedance – Measure of the tissue’s combined electrical characteristics
which impact its ability to absorb the energy generated by the InterX Sport.
Injury Curve – The cycle of recovery from injury, incorporated into the InterX
Sport to guide selection of preset stimulation patterns.
Injury Curve Preset List – Listing of the recommended preset stimulation
patterns for a specific stage of injury.
Modulation – The ratio of time that the device is sending stimulation into the
skin to the amount of time it is off. The Modulation setting of 3:1 indicates
the device is transmitting stimulation for 3 seconds and then sends no
stimulation for 1 second.
Multi-stim – A series of Point-stims.
NOTE – Highlights information throughout the manual that acts as a reminder
or helps explain a concept or procedure.
Point-stim – A signal to the operator that a certain level of impedance change
has been measured by the device.
Preset Stimulation Patterns – A range of settings delivering pulses per second
as either continuous, burst, variable or cycles.
Pulses Per Second (PPS) – The number of pulses per second. The preset
stimulation patterns are identified by a number that relates to the pulses per
second.
Stimulation Intensity – The strength of the impulse on the patient’s skin – the
higher the intensity the stronger the tingling sensation felt by the patient. It is
important that the stimulation intensity is delivered at a comfortable level.
Stimulation Screen – When the device is active and emitting stimulation.
