Hi, this is a type of electro-stimulation treatment, but I was wondering what it is actually called in English?

Here's a link showing what it is I'm talking about:

English translation:Russian (medium frequency) waveforms
Explanation:
My answer is based purely on Internet references, as I've never come across this before.

If this blog is to be believed, it seems these waveforms were first used in Russian athletes, hence the name: http://ptmodalities.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/russian-electrica...

See an example here: http://www.mettlerelectronics.com/sysstim-228/

See a description of the waveforms here: http://prohealthcareproducts.com/blog/waveforms-used-in-elec...

And another example: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19205995
