Details

The philosophy behind the design of the stimulator is to reflect the journey of a person undergoing joint replacement surgery. As such a number of features need to be built into such a stimulator to address patient and clinician requirements at each stage of the process, from immediately after surgery through to return to normal function. These are; ‘Set Up’, ‘Blood Flow’, ‘Pain’, ‘Muscle conditioning’, ‘Endurance’ and ‘Power’, with the stimulator featuring the same easy to use 10 pre-programmed modes as the original Microstim, but with waveforms adapted specifically to the requirements of orthopaedic practice.

Blood Flow 1 1 300us 1Hz continuous This gives a single impulse to cause a twitch of the foot
Blood Flow 2 2 300us pulse width, 40 Hz, 0.5 sec burst then rest for 2 seconds and then repeat. Continuous This causes a more sustained contraction and movement of the foot to replicate squeezing the calf.
Pain 1 3 100Hz, 200us pulses continuous General pain relief Works like massage/rubbing Gate theory
Pain 2 4 5 Hz 200us pulses continuous Muscle/ chronic pain. Works like acupuncture Endorphin release
General Muscle Conditioning 1 5 40Hz 5 sec on 10 sec off, 0.5 sec ramps 300us pulses simultaneous Both come on and go off together 0.5 sec ramp up, 5 secs at set level. 0.5 sec ramp down. Off for 10 secs.
General Muscle Conditioning 2 6 40Hz 5 sec on 10 sec off, 0.5 sec ramps 300us pulses alternate Channel 1 comes on 0.5s ramp stays on for 5 secs at set level. Ramps down in 0.5 sec. After 2 secs Channel 2 comes on 0.5 sec ramp, stays on at set level for 5 secs, ramps down 0.5 secs. Two secs later Channel 1 comes back on.
Endurance 1 7 20 Hz 300s pulses 10 secs on, 0.5 sec ramps. simultaneous Both come on and go off together 1s ramp up, 10 secs at set level. 1sec ramp down. Off for 3sec
Endurance 2 8 20 Hz 300s pulses 10 secs on, 0.5 sec ramps. alternate Channel 1 comes on 1s ramp stays on for 10 secs at set level. Ramps down in 1 sec. Channel 2 comes on 1 sec ramp, stays on at set level for 10 secs, ramps down 1 secs. Channel 1 comes back on.
Power/Strength 9 60Hz 300us 200ms ramps, 3.5s on 4.5 sec off simultaneous To be used at high intensity 3/4 times a week to induce muscle fatigue
