Why are multiple inhibits used?
[ Top ] A: The nature and purpose of multiple inhibits are often misunderstood. I would recommend you read the following 2 paragraphs, taken directly from our protocol guide, and make certain you understand it before going on. “Another feature of the low-frequency work, as originally implemented by the Othmers, is the use of multiple inhibit bins. In traditional amplitude training, it is common to have a high inhibit instrument to discourage excessive beta activity or EMG activity. Suppose you have a high inhibit which is set for the range of 18-30 Hz. You observe that your client has 20 Hz activity that is usually above 5 microvolts but occasionally above 10 microvolts. You could set an alarm threshold so that any signal above 10 microvolts between 18 and 30 Hz gives a warning signal. However, your client may also have a repeated 4 microvolt activity at some other frequency, say 28 Hz, that is more clinically significant. Unfortunately, it will not trigger the high inhibit because the
