General guidelines: General guidelines


Slide4: Select electrotherapy


Slide5: Select VMS / VMS Burst


Slide6: Select VMS FR


Slide7: Edit parameters for tonic protocol


Slide8: Edit phase duration


Slide9: Increase phase duration to 300 μsec


Slide10: Edit frequency


Slide11: Change frequency to 30 pps


Slide12: Change burst duration to 1500 msec


Slide13: Tonic protocol


Slide14: Edit parameters for phasic protocol


Slide15: Change phase duration to 140 μsec


Slide16: Change frequency to 80 pps


Slide17: Change burst duration to 2000 msec


Slide18: Change On/Off ratio to 1:5


Slide19: Phasic protocol


VMS FR: VMS FR Treatment ideas


Slide21: Spastic upper extremity Protocol: Tonic Channel 1 on triceps Channel 2 on biceps


Slide22: Spastic upper extremity Step 1: inhibit tone for 10 mins (min-mod intensity) Step 2: do functional task (reach, push, pull) in sync with Burst Duration and On/Off ratio


Slide23: Weak extensors forearm Protocol: Phasic Channel 1 on extensors Channel 2 on flexors


Slide24: Weak extensors forearm Step 1: increase extensor tone for 10 mins (min-mod intensity) Step 2: do functional task (reach, grasp) in sync with Burst Duration and On/Off ratio Increase intensity as needed


Slide25: Weak dorsiflexors/evertors Protocol: Phasic Channel 1 on dorsiflexors/evertors Channel 2 on flexors


Slide26: Weak dorsiflexors/evertors Step 1: increase extensor tone for 10 mins (min-mod intensity) Step 2: do functional task (step through, etc) in sync with Burst Duration and On/Off ratio Increase intensity as needed
