Width of the single impulse for feet

The Forums Strength

I am trying to use EMS for feet (as i told some posts before).
Now i am using a quite totally programmable unit (BEAC BE 28E, very interesting and economic).
So i set this parameters:

  • 10" work 50" rest
  • 150 Hertz (freq)
  • 0" (time to reach the maximum intensity)
  • 0" (time to go down )

Now, the problem is that i have to set the “cronassia” (sorry don’t know the world in english),that is the width of the single impulse.
Any suggestion about how to set this parameter?
Could 300 microseconds be an effective good setting?

You might want to set the time to reach maximum intensity and ramp down from it a little higher than 0 seconds. This will probably make it more tollerable.

Is the word you are looking for “amplitude” or how strong the pulse is?

yes,of if it’s much painful even at low intensity(mA,milliampere) i’ll try slower ramp.

Think at the sigle impulse(150 impulses in 1 second if using 150Hz) and about the lenght,the duration of this single impluse.
This is “cronassia” .

Ah…do you think thata 80-100Hz is better for feet?
Maybe yes,they have to support the mass*vertical acceleration, so more force than explosivity.
