1
Q
What parameters are included in the “program”
A
Where - electrodes
How much - Amplitude
How often - Frequency (advanced cycling)
How long - Pulse Width

A
210 micro seconds
5
Q
When would you reprogramme a device
A
No symptom relief Symptoms reappear Discomfort Loss of stimulation Undesirable change in stimulation
6
Q
What is the optimal response from programming
A
Low amplitude - less than 2mA
Sensation in pelvic area
Motor response noted intera op - Remeber bellows before toes
7
Q
What is suboptimal response with programming
A
Pain with simulation
For/Toe sensation
High amplitude for sensory response
No intra op motor response
