how do you decrease muscle activity with biofeedback
electrodes close together, sensitivity low (to decrease cross-talk)
how to you increase muscle activity with biofeedback
electrodes far apart, sensitivity high
conventional TENs
- duration
- frequency
- current amp
delivery of electrical pulses SHORT duration, HIGH frequency, LOW current amp
