2. 2 HighTone Basic Ideas  Classical Electrotherapy is a treatment via Muscle- and Nerve-Stimulation  HighTone Therapy cover this field as well  but more efficient, more comfortable  Additionally it opens up the new field of Non-stimulating effects Increase mitochondria in number and size Acceleration of the diffusion rate Acceleration of wound healing and regeneration Acceleration of ossification (bone healing)...many more  The efficient application of these effects was made possible only by the new approach given by HighTone Therapy Use many frequencies to generate Resonance Effects Maximize the applied Energy What is special about HighTone Therapy?

3. 3 HighTone Basic Ideas Resonance Effects  The human tissue contains many charged particles Pain mediators like K +, H + H 2 O Water dipole many other charged particles  These particles oscillate in an alternating electric field  Through these oscillations the natural processes are facilitated example: diffusion processes are accelerated  To optimize these oscillations you have to apply the „right“ frequency  That‘s why HighTone Therapy offers a whole range of frequencies From 4 kHz to 32 kHz

4. 4 HighTone Basic Ideas Resonance Charged particles (Molecules, Cell structures,...) of different sizes at rest Electrode A alternating electric field is applied

5. 5 HighTone Basic Ideas 16 kHz Middle sized particles begin to resonate Resonance Middle Frequency

6. 6 HighTone Basic Ideas Resonance moves to larger particles 8 kHz Resonance Decreasing Frequency

7. 7 HighTone Basic Ideas 4 kHz Resonance Decreasing Frequency

8. 8 HighTone Basic Ideas 8 kHz Resonance Increasing Frequency

9. 9 HighTone Basic Ideas 16 kHz Resonance Increasing Frequency

10. 10 HighTone Basic Ideas 20 kHz Resonance Increasing Frequency

11. 11 HighTone Basic Ideas The small particles get into resonance 32 kHz Resonance Increasing Frequency

12. 12 HighTone Basic Ideas Resonance  - next: Energy  Resonance Effect is optimized by using the frequency scan from 4 to 32 kHz  The two main mechanisms of HighTone Therapy are Generate Resonance Effects Maximize the applied Energy  The applicable electric power (energy per unit time) is limited by the human threshold for current for every applied frequency there is threshold value for current sensation motoric response  See threshold curve in the next slide

13. 13 HighTone Basic Ideas Threshold graph of the current sensation Threshold curve Threshold current mA (eff) Frequency in Hz

14. 14 HighTone Basic Ideas Threshold graph of the current sensation Frequency range HiToP ® Threshold curve Threshold current mA (eff) Frequency in Hz

15. 15 HighTone Basic Ideas HighTone with SimulFAM  These two basic ideas use a frequency scan (instead of a fixed carrier frequency) follow the threshold curve led to the completely new and patented HighTone Therapy  Simultaneous Frequency and Amplitude Modulation  SimulFAM
