What parameters are included in the “program”
Where - electrodes
How much - Amplitude
How often - Frequency (advanced cycling)
How long - Pulse Width
What are the three characteristics of a electrical pulse
PW
mA
Hz
What is the typical Hz for our system
14
What is the typical PW for our system
210 micro seconds
When would you reprogramme a device
No symptom relief Symptoms reappear Discomfort Loss of stimulation Undesirable change in stimulation
What is the optimal response from programming
Low amplitude - less than 2mA
Sensation in pelvic area
Motor response noted intera op - Remeber bellows before toes
What is suboptimal response with programming
Pain with simulation
For/Toe sensation
High amplitude for sensory response
No intra op motor response
