Interrupted D.C. (Galvanic) and Pulsed (Faradic)
The EMS-1C™ and EMS-2C™ are effective, easy to use, electronic muscle/ neuromuscular stimulators. The EMS-1C produces Interrupted D.C. (Galvanic) stimulation. The EMS-2C produces Interrupted D.C. and Pulsed (Faradic) Stimulation. Both unites allow easy one hand operation, including current adjustment, active probe positioning, and on-off control. These instruments are used in the evaluation and treatment of muscle dysfunction caused by peripheral and C.N.S. disorders. They are most commonly used for preventing or retarding dususe atrophy, relaxing muscle spasms, and muscle re-education.
Because of the small size and light weight of these units, many physicians and therapists find them especially useful in bedside and in-home treatments. In addition, they often prescribe these instruments for their patients to administer some of their own therapy. This is due to simplicity of the units, the inherent safety of battery powered devices (complete electrical isolation from other equipment), and current limiting circuitry. This permits an optimum amount of therapy, rather than that limited by a therapist's busy schedule.
Electronically, the circuit uses a simple but very effective current-sourced output, supplying the needed voltage to produce the set current level.
