Simultaneous Therapy
6.1
General Information and Preparations
Simultaneous therapy means the simultaneous treatment with ultrasound and
stimulation current. The ultrasonic transducer is one pole of the stimulation current
circuit, a plate electrode the other one.
It is advisable to use a plate electrode of minimum size EF50 as neutral electrode.
The neutral electrode is plugged into the socket No.1 (anode of circuit I) of the pa-
tient lead (page 7).
Make sure that there is enough space between the plate electrode and the trans-
ducer. If there is too little room, an error might be issued.
To ensure a stable contact for both stimulation and ultrasound therapy you must
use an (electrically) conductive ultrasound gel.
