the electrodes. Interferential Therapy
uses two medium frequency 4000 Hz
currents that 'interfere' with each other to
produce a beat frequency that the body
recognises as a low frequency energy
source.
The range of this beat frequency in the
Unipro is 1 to 160Hz.

this
metencephalins are stimulated which
will result in short term pain relief.
10Hz - This frequency has a beneficial
effect on the immune system and tends
to make patients wakeful yet relaxed.
130Hz - This frequency stimulates the
production of endorphins and results in
longer term pain relief and some local
anaesthesia.
1-100Hz - This frequency sweep will
increase the inflammatory rate.
45-90Hz - This frequency sweep will
depress the sympathetic nervous system
so allowing increased activity of the
parasympathetic system and increase
the blood supply.
There are two IFT modes in Unipro, IFT4
and IFT2.
IFT4
Both channels are linked, with 4 pads
being required for the treatment area.
Only one intensity is displayed on the
device.

the
IFT2
The
frequency
interference
for IFT is modulated by the machine.
This means only two pads are required
per treatment area, allowing the user
to treat small regions and also two
areas simultaneously. Two intensities
are displayed on the device and each
channel

independently.
The programmes for IFT4 and IFT2 modes
can be seen on the next page.
Programme Selection
There is not one programme for a
particular condition, and the best choice
varies from each person, even if they
have the same type of pain.
Intensity Selection
To ensure safety, Unipro displays a
warning icon when the intensity reaches
40mA. User should check electrode
