If tissues are poor conductors of electricity, what should you do to the amplitude?

When dealing with tissues that are poor conductors of electricity, it is important to increase the amplitude of the electrical current. Poor conductors have higher resistance to electrical flow, meaning that the standard amplitude may not produce a significant effect. By increasing the amplitude, you help to overcome this resistance, allowing the electrical current to penetrate the tissue more effectively and achieve the desired physiological effects, such as stimulation or therapeutic responses.

This approach is based on Ohm's Law, which states that for a given resistance, an increase in voltage (or amplitude in this case) will lead to an increase in current flow. Thus, adjusting the amplitude upwards compensates for the tissue's poor conductivity and ensures that the electrical stimulating currents can be effective.
