Chattanooga Continuum TENS / NMES Kit
The Chattanooga Continuum is a state-of-the-art, multifunction electrotherapy device. It has the ability to provide two channels of conventional neuromuscular electrical nerve stimulation (NMES) and conventional transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) electrotherapy. This wide-ranging capability allows the clinician to employ electrotherapy throughout the healing cycle with a single device.
Programmability of the device allows the clinician to customize the treatment to meet the individual needs of each patient. The Continuum (NMES) feature produces an electrical stimulus that, when properly applied, activates specific muscles or muscle groups.
The Chattanooga Continuum TENS / NMES Kit is a portable 2 channel muscle stimulator and TENS unit that offers both a hand switch and an optional foot switch.
It can be used by therapists in clinics and patients at home to provide electrical stimulation treatments in pain management (TENS) and neuro muscular stimulation (EMS/NMES). By combining TENS with NMES, users can simultaneously help manage pain and enhance exercise, thereby shortcutting the traditional muscle recovery cycle.
Features:
- Continuum features 2 independent channels that can be managed separately. Users can select either the same program on both channels, or 2 different programs to be used simultaneously
- It offers 13 pre-programmed and 2 custom regimens for NMES and TENS. Modify treatment time, waveform type (Symmetrical or Asymmetrical), pulse rates and durations (widths), cycling type, off times, channel ramp times, and on time
- Continuum uses balanced waveforms capable of delivering a powerful and strong contraction while remaining comfortable
- Hand switch: The handheld remote trigger can be used to easily activate stimulation, either by the clinician at a distance, or by the patient
- OPTIONAL Heel switch: When placed inside the user’s shoe, this optional heel switch can be used to trigger muscle stimulation.
- Belt clip: A simple belt clip that fits over a belt or waistband
- Kick stand: Built-in, pull-out kick stand
- Battery powered: Continuum runs on a pair of standard AA batteries
Indications:
As an NMES device,
- indications are for the following conditions:

As a TENS device,
- Symptomatic relief and management of chronic, intractable pain
- Adjunctive treatment for post-surgical and post-trauma acute pain
- Relief of pain associated with arthritis
