Electrotherapy TENS (Conventional high-rate/sensory TENS) Frequency: 100-150 pps. Pulse Duration: 50-80  µs. Amplitude: sensory. Treatment Time: whenever there is pain. Duration of Action: only while on. Typical Conditions: acute injury or repetitive strain. Duration of application: unlimited. TENS  (Low-rate/motor TENS) Frequency: <10 pps. Pulse Duration: 200-300  µs. Amplitude: small muscle contractions. Treatment Time: maximum 20-30 minutes every 2 hours. Duration of Action: 4-5 hours aftertreatment. Typical Conditions: chronic conditions. Duration of application: 20-30 minutes maximum.  Interferential Current  (Acute pain) Frequency: 100-150 Hz. Time: throughout duration of pain. May be used for 24 hours/day if needed. Modulation: use if available. Amplitude: to produce tingling. Interferential Current  (Chronic pain) Frequency: 2-10 Hz. Time: 20-30 minutes. Modulation: none. Amplitude: to visible contraction. Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES)  Muscle Strengthening:  P
