| Bilateral Threshold | show 🗑
|
||||
| Biphasic | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Anode and cathode combination.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Waveform achieved by repeatedly delivering a group of closely spaced pulses (packet of stimulation or pulse train) followed by a quiescent time.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A negatively charged electrode.
🗑
|
||||
| Charge per pulse | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Amplitude X PW X Rate
🗑
|
||||
| Circuit | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Power source that adjusts current in response to resistance (impedance) to ensure that a consistent level current is delivered to the patient. Also known as current controlled.
🗑
|
||||
| Constant Voltage (IPG) | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Another term for electrode.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Area of paresthesia.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Measurement of the flow of a charged particles through a circuit.
🗑
|
||||
| show | (Amplitude X PW)
🗑
|
||||
| show | Current flowing in one direction.
🗑
|
||||
| Discomfort Threshold (DT) | show 🗑
|
||||
| Dose (Charge per Second) | show 🗑
|
||||
| Dosing | show 🗑
|
||||
| Duty Cycle | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The combination of activated electrodes on the leads.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The number of stimulation pulses delivered per second as measured in hertz (Hz).
🗑
|
||||
| show | Anodes are configured on both sides of a cathode to focus the field directly under cathode. The anodes hyperpolarize the area around the cathode and thus act as a boundary for the stimulation field.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A unit of measurement for frequency equal to one cycle per second.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Resistance by an object to the flow of electrical current in an AC circuit.
🗑

| show | Unit of measure for electrical current equal to one thousandth of an ampere.
🗑
|
||||

|
||||
| Mode | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Multiple areas delivered simultaneously.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Provides individual current control at the electrode level for greater specificity in directing the stimulation field and overcoming impedance variability. MICS systems are constant current.
🗑
|
||||
| Ohm (Ω) | show 🗑
|
||||
| Ohm’s Law | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Circuit that is open or broken at one or more points, which results in the interruption of the flow of current past the breakage.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Program with 2 to 4 areas consisting of a different wave forms in attempt to elicit (excite) different MOAs. The different areas are sequentially delivered.
🗑
|
||||
| Parameter | show 🗑
|
||||
| Paresthesia | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The stimulation current is below the perception threshold and therefore insufficient to activate the sensory nerve fibers that generate paresthesia.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Allows manual selection of preset programs to enable the patient to choose the program that best matches their pain level, pain location or activity level.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The level where stimulation sensations are first perceived. Nalu terms this as Threshold Amplitude.
🗑
|
||||
| Polarity | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A stimulation configuration consisting of up to four stimulation Areas.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Refers to a single surge of current or voltage.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The time duration of each electrical pulse.
🗑
|
||||
| Rate (Frequency) | show 🗑
