摘要 |
The invention relates to a transcutaneous nerve and/or muscle stimulation appliance with electrodes destined to apply a sequence of electric pulses to the skin of a person, providing means that allow the generation of multiphase pulses during a stimulation period, these means allowing the generation of successive sequences of the above-mentioned multiphase pulses during successive stimulation periods with a frequency between 10 Hz and 100 Hz, more in particular a frequency of approximately 50 Hz, these means furthermore allowing a rest period between successive stimulation periods, during which rest period a sequence of electric pulses is generated with a frequency ranging from 0.5 Hz to 5 Hz and with an amplitude lower than that of the above-mentioned multiphase pulses. |
