Programme 6
This therapy type has been developed in accordance with medical concepts of
Prof. Han from the year 2001. Similar to Programme 5, this treatment combines
the advantages of low and high frequency therapy, as it changes from 2 Hz to 100
Hz every 3 seconds. For most pain and diseases, this therapy form is very helpful. It
can be used for every form of pain.
Programme 7
This so called "Burst" programme is used, if the low frequency programmes and the
muscle convulsions are causing discomfort for the patient. This Burst stimulation
shall provide convulsions as well, but different to other programmes.

Programme 8
Within periods of 15 seconds, the frequency ranges between 2 Hz and 80 Hz are
used for stimulation. The actual effect is similar to the one of Programme 1 and 2.
Programme 8 is an alternative to the named programmes, if the pain reducing
feeling is not enough.
Programme 9
This programme is especially used to stimulate muscles, as they are brought to
contraction by current. It is used to enhance and improve the body flexibility. The
muscle contraction is achieved by sending stimulation current through the skin; it
reaches the nerves, which provide the regarding muscle with energy. It is used to
maintain and improve the muscle strength. Usually, the current flow is clearly felt,
but by clear adjustments on the device it is made active without being painful or
unpleasant. Yet, it can be an unusual experience to recognize the working of a
patient's muscle without doing anything.
To avoid the quick exhaustion of the muscle, the intensity is slowly increased up to
the preset value. During the working period the muscle is brought to contraction,
while the pause time helps to regenerate.
