Pulses per second should be at the beginning of the
tetany range (20 to 30 pps)
Interrupted or surged current should be used
On time should be between 15 and 20 secs
Off time should be equal to or
greater than on time, fatigue is a big consideration
High-voltage pulsed or medium-frequency alternating
current stimulators are suggested
The stimulated muscle group should be antagonistic
to the joint contracture and the athlete should be positioned so the joint will be moved to the
limits of the available range.
8. The athlete is passive in this treatment and does not work with the
electrical contraction.
9. Total treatment time should be 90 minutes daily. This can be broken
into three 30-minute treatments.
