2. Introduction to the product
NeuroTrac™ IFC Rehab is a pain control and muscle stimulator device. It combines
Interferential stimulator (IFC), Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS)
and Neuromuscular Electrical stimulator (NMS) in one unit. The device consists of
two independent circuits, one for IFC, another for TENS/NMS stimulation. There
are two output Channels for the NMS and another two for the IFC allowing it
to operate 2 pairs of electrodes for each side of the device. They are all isolated
from each other and work independently with no exchange of current between
any of the channels.
IFC Rehab has 11 built� in preset programmes for Interferential stimulation ,
12 for TENS stimulation and 15 for NMS stimulation. Additionally there are
custom programmes ( 2 for IFC, 2 for NMS and 1 for TENS) which allow to vary
programme parameters.
Each of two parts of the device ( IFC or TENS/NMS) can be locked separately by
Physician to prevent patient from changing programme parameters and to allow
verication of the training by collecting “total time used” and average output
amplitude statistic.
2.1. What is Pain
When we feel pain it is the body’s process of informing us that something is
wrong. To feel pain is important, without this feeling abnormal conditions may
go undetected, creating damage or injury to critical parts of the body.
Although pain is essential in warning our body of trauma or malfunction, nature
may have gone too far in its design. Continued long�term chronic pain has no
useful value apart from its importance in diagnosis. Pain only begins when a
coded signal travels to the brain where it is decoded, and analysed. The pain
message travels from the injured area of the body along small diameter nerves
leading to the spinal cord. At this point the message is switched to a dierent
kind of nerve that travels up the spinal cord to the brain area. The brain then
analysis the pain message, refers it back and the pain is felt.
2.2. What is TENS
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a non�invasive method of
controlling acute and principally long term intractable pain. It can also be used
as an adjunctive treatment in the management of post surgical traumatic pain
problems. In TENS mild electrical impulses are transmuted through the skin via
surface electrodes to modify the body’s pain perception. TENS does not cure
problematic physiological conditions; it only helps to control the pain perception.
TENS will not work for every user. However Physical Therapists and Physicians
throughout the world prescribe TENS extensively and it is generally seen to work
for the majority of users. There are millions of small nerve bres throughout the
body and it only requires a few impulses to produce chronic pain. In addition to
small bres, which allow the sensation of pain to be felt, the body is also made
up of larger diameter nerve bres.

These larger nerve bres transmit less unpleasant sensations such as touch or
warmth, assisting us to form an impression of our environment.
Stimulating the larger nerve bres using TENS may have the eect of inhibiting
the transmission of pain along the smaller nerve bres to the spinal cord (this
eect is known as the ‘Pain Gate Theory’).
2.3. What is NMS (NMES)
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation is the elicitation of muscle con�
traction using electric impulses. The impulses are generated by a device
and delivered through electrodes on the skin in direct proximity to the
muscles to be stimulated. The impulses mimic the action potential com�
ing from the central nervous system, causing the muscles to contract.
It is commonly used as a therapeutic intervention for muscle strengthening. It can
be used to augment the strength of either injured or healthy muscle. Generally
it is used on the supercial muscles of the arms and shoulder gridle, the legs,
and low back. An isolated injury with specic muscular strength decits , such
as quadriceps weakness or lumbar para spinal weakness , is the most common
impairment that is treated with NMS for strengthening.
2.4. What is Interferential Stimulation (IFC)
Interferential stimulation diers from conventional neuromascular stimula�
tion (NMS) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). Both TENS
and NMS uses discrete electric impulses delivered at low frequencies of 2�200
pulses per second which deliver most stimulation to the surface of the skin
directly under the electrode.
Interferential stimulation depends upon the interaction or interference of two
medium�frequency electrical outputs that dier slightly in frequency. In other
words , the current that would be produced by one channel interacts with
(interferes with) the current produced by second channel and produces a net
ionic movement dierent from that produced by either channel alone. Such
resultant current (called interference current) has a frequency that is equal to
the dierence in frequency of on the two channels. Since the frequencies of
interferential stimulation are much higher than those used in TENS and NMS
the tissue impedance is reduced and the currents are induced in deeper tissue
level.
NeuroTrac™ IFC Rehab uses a xed carried frequency of 4000Hz and an pre set
or adjustable frequency in a range: 4001 � 4150Hz. When the two frequencies
mix inside the tissue they interfere , producing an interference frequency.

5. Operating NeuroTrac™ IFC Rehab
5.1 Getting started
1. Insert four AA batteries into the battery compartment (the battery images
engraved in the base of the compartment indicates correct battery position.
2. Connect the lead cables to the electrodes. The lead pins must be fully inserted
into the electrode connector.
3. Place the electrodes on the sides prescribed by your physician or therapist,
and press them rmly onto the skin (place the two electrode pairs that are
controlled by the same amplitude buttons on muscles that are about the
same size).
4. Insert the plugs at the end of the electrode lead cable into device output
sockets : CH1 and CH2 output sockets for IFC stimulation or CHA and CHB
output sockets for TENS/NMS stimulation.
5. Press On/O button to switch the unit on. The unit always starts up with
previously selected programme.
6. Press IFC PROG button or TENS/NMS programme button to select the programme :
a) IFC PROG button: P01 � P11 for preset programmes, PC1 or C2 for
Custom programmes .
b) TENS/NMS PROG button: P01�P12 for preset TENS programmes,
P13�P27 for preset NMS programmes, PC1 for TENS custom programme,
PC1 or PC2 for NMS custom programmes.

7. When the programme is done amplitude automatically returns to 0
8. If required adjust the time of the programme by using timer button. Time of
predened IFC , TENS and NMS P13�P15 programmes can be adjusted in the
range: 1min� 12hrs, ( Note: time of predened NMS programmes P16 � P27
cannot be changed as these are multiphasic programmes).
9. Start the stimulation by setting the desired amplitude using “+ Plus” buttons.
To reduce stimulation press the “ - Minus” buttons.
Note: Patients respond dierently to the level of intensity, this is due to
dierences in individual patient’s skin resistance, enervation and the type
and condition of electrode being used.
10. You can always stop the programme by pressing
To pause the programme press ESC button which will reduce mA to 0
and freeze programme time counter, pressing ESC again will return the
programme to home screen.
Intensity Lock Out Feature
To prevent an accidental increase of the treatment amplitude (intensity),
NeuroTrac™IFC Rehab has an Intensity Lock Out feature implemented. Once
the stimulation current is raised above zero, with no buttons activity for
greater than 10 seconds, the unit will lockout the Increase intensity buttons
(CH1+ and CH2+ for IFC or CHA+ and CHB+ for TENS/NMS). To deactivate
Intensity Lock out “� Minus” button needs to be pressed .
Open Circuit Detect
If the closed circuit is broken, for example if a lead wire is broken, or electrode
does not provide proper contact with the skin the current of the channels
switches o automatically which is indicated by the amplitude dropping to 0
mA and timer paused. To resume the treatment the problem needs to be cor�
rected and programme restarted by setting the amplitude. The programme
picks up where it left o.
How long do I use TENS or IFC for?
This depends on the individual patient’s
condition, accuracy of electrode place�
ment, stimulation and the characteristics
selected, but typically the onset of pain
relief starts after 20 � 30 minutes. General�
ly TENS is used for longer periods of nor�
mally 1 hour 30 minutes per session. With
some patients it can be much longer.

Description of TENS/NMS modes
1. Continuous /Conventional TENS (CON)
Continuous train of constant value pulses (xed frequency and pulse dura�
tion) on both channels delivered with no interruption for entire treatment
period.
2. Burst Modulated TENS (BST)
Regular burst of pulses ( nine pulses of 200µS or 175 µS at 150Hz) repeated
2 times per second .This mode is comparable to the low rate TENS technique
except that each low rate pulse is substituted for by a short BURST of pulses.
It is a combination of conventional and low rate TENS.
3. Modulated TENS
Systematic modulation( lowering from and rising to the maximum settings)
of the pulse duration and pulse frequency . This mode was designed to help
prevent nerve accommodation that some patient’s experience. It is achieved
by continuously cycling the pulse width and rate.
Modulation is exponential. For example: Modulation time 6 seconds,
50�250 µS means starting at 50 µS increasing exponentially (fast then
slow) to 250 µS in 3 seconds and returning (fast then slow) back to 50 µS
to complete the cycle in 6 seconds.
4. NMS (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation)
Intermittent stimulation where output amplitude ramps up in to adjusted
level and stimulates for a dened WORK time , then it ramps down to 0
mA, and stays with no stimulation for a dened REST time. Cycle is repeated
over programme duration.
