titleOfInvention | Local application microprocessor based nerve and muscle stimulator |
abstract | ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A transcutaneous electroneural stimulation (TENS) device employing microprocessor control of carrier pulse frequency, modulation pulse frequency, intensity, and frequency/amplitude modulation factors has been developed. The microprocessor monitors battery status and keypad-entered commands that select the various TENS modalities, and generates the driver signals to produce the output waveform. The microprocessor is programmed to calculate all stimulation parameters, which are stored in nonvolatile memory to provide concise and predictable programmed functions which can be updated as required. By selecting a desired program, the system may be programmed for either pain relief or the reduction of edema in the application area. The output pulse train employs a pulse modulation scheme which is carrier frequency tuned for location-specific applications by matching the carrier frequency to the electrode/tissue load. By pulse modulating the high frequency carrier and matching the carrier frequency to the electrode/tissue load, more efficient energy transfer is realized, and the unpleasant burning sensation associated with most TENS stimulation units is virtually eliminated. |
