The ARP Trainer
The Device
The electrical stimulation device (the ARP) possesses specification
characteristics that are not found in any conventional therapeutic
neuromuscular electrical stimulator (interferential, microcurrent,
galvanic, Russian stim, iontophoresis).
The ARP uses direct current (DC) compounded with a high frequency
double exponential, patented background waveform. This background
wave is harmonious with the body and significantly reduces
skin and fatty tissue impedance allowing much deeper penetration
of the direct current without the side effects of skin burning.
Also, the unique waveform produces minimal inhibitory protective
muscle contractions allowing active range of motion during
therapy and training. This permits eccentric (lengthening)
contractions to occur which are critical to treatment.
Technical Specifications
Wave Form
Compound, double exponential asymmetric with high levels of
direct current.
Power
High power with NO surface burning or surface pain at 0 to
2.5 watts.
Main Pulse
40 to 500 pulses per second.
Background Frequency
High-frequency carrier signal at 10,000 cycles per second.
Polarity
Direction of electron flow is reversible.
Depth of Penetration
Deepest soft tissue penetration resonates with the human system,
causing the body's natural resistance to drop out.
