Modes of Operation
There are two modes of operation of apparatuses of
DENS-therapy which should be combined and altered.
Dosed
Mode
While operating under this mode, the body, due to
availability of "biological" feedback, himself
specifies the required time of the apparatus performance
thus performing self-regulation.
A light and sound signal is produced upon completion
of the required exposure.
While operating under the dosed mode, electrodes of
the apparatus should be installed on the required
zone of only dry skin. Electrodes should be applied
to the next zone only after the signal is produced.
It is not allowed to move electrodes along the skin
while operating under the dosed mode.
The dosed mode is applied in order to reveal trigger
(starting, pathogenic) zones, zones of asymmetry,
for operation with the skin of the sound pair organ
or a part of the body, at uncertain (non-localized)
complaints.
Constant
Mode
Under the constant mode apparatuses function as transcutaneous
electric neurostimulators. The duration of the session
should be determined by an operator in compliance
with the technique described in the Denas Manual.
While
operating under the constant mode, electrodes of the
apparatus can be re-arranged as well as moved along
the skin surface with a speed of 1 -2 cm per second
(scanning). The constant mode is applied at localized
complaints, at emergency aid, with the therapeutic
purpose and for treatment of revealed trigger zones
and zones of asymmetry.
While treating with apparatuses one and the same skin
zone successively follow only the next order of repetition
of the said modes: first the dosed mode, than the
constant mode.
Level
of Energy Influence of Apparatuses
Minimum
Energy Level
At installation of electrodes of the engaged apparatus
on the skin the patient does not experience any subjective
sensations (pain, pricking). This level is primarily
used at operation under the dosed mode and at treating
children.
Comfortable
Energy Level
At installation of electrodes of the
engaged apparatus on the skin the patient experiences
slight non irritating pricking. This level can be
used at operation under the dosed mode at treating
teenagers and adults, at emergency aid, with the therapeutic
purpose and for treating revealed trigger zones and
zones of asymmetry.
Maximum
Energy Level
At installation of electrodes of the engaged apparatus
on the skin the patient experiences pricked pain as
at a light electric discharge which may be accompanied
by spontaneous contraction of muscles located near
the installed electrodes. This level is used at the
expressed pain syndrome, at emergency aid, unconscious
state of the patient.
Important!
It should be taken into account that:
-
DENAS, at its engagement, is always adjusted at the
minimum energy level;
- DENAS has the light diode scale of power level basing
on which each patient can objectivize the degree of
his sensations.
