ABSTRACT

Technological trend in recent time’s nit nesses an appreciable decrease in hardware cost, implementation in microchip technology and a boost in the use of micro – computer’s in all ere as of human life. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation unit (acronym TENS unit) is the use of electric current produced by a device to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes. TENS by definition covers the complete range of transcutaneously applied currents used for nerve excitation although the term is often used with a more restrictive intent, namely to describe the kind of pulses produced by portable stimulators used to treat pain. The unit is usually connected to the skin using two or more electrodes. A typical battery-operated TENS unit is able to modulate pulse width, frequency and intensity. Generally TENS is applied at high frequency (>50 Hz) with an intensity below motor contraction (sensory intensity) or low frequency (
