2 Fig 1 Stimulus types commonly used in rehabilitation. (A) Biphasic pulsed current. (B) Monophasic pulsed current. (C) Bursts of AC with a duty cycle of 50%. (D) Bursts of AC typical of interferential current.

3 Fig 2 Sensory threshold versus burst duration at: (A) 1kHz and (B) 4kHz; (C) 1-kHz and (D) 4-kHz motor thresholds; (E) 1-kHz and (F) 4-kHz pain-tolerance thresholds. (⧫) are values in volts (V), measured at a burst frequency of 20Hz, and (⊡) are values at 50Hz previously reported by Ward and Lucas-Toumbourou.19 Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation  , DOI: ( /j.apmr ) Copyright © 2009 American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine Terms and Conditions

4 Fig 3 Relative thresholds at different burst durations with burst frequencies of 50Hz (⊡) and 20Hz (⧫). (A) Pain/motor thresholds using bursts of 1-kHz AC. (B) Pain/motor thresholds using bursts of 4-kHz AC. 50-Hz relative thresholds were previously reported by Ward and Lucas-Toumbourou.19 Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation  , DOI: ( /j.apmr ) Copyright © 2009 American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine Terms and Conditions

5 Fig 4 Relative thresholds at different burst durations with burst frequencies of 50Hz (⊡) and 20Hz (⧫). (A) Pain/sensory thresholds using bursts of 1-kHz AC. (B) Pain/sensory thresholds using bursts of 4-kHz AC. 50-Hz relative thresholds were previously reported by Ward and Lucas-Toumbourou.19 Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation  , DOI: ( /j.apmr ) Copyright © 2009 American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine Terms and Conditions
