The constant (D.C.) current (or tension) remains the reference taught in electrotherapy. It is true that the electrotherapists give to him, still, the following virtues and properties:

Invariability (by definition).
Regularity of contribution of electric charges (idem).
A facility for calculations.
A facility with being established or shut down with precision, to studying the exitables elements of the human body (neuron, myofibrille). We suppose that the rectangular impulses are made up only, with D.C. current.

The practical side of the D.C. current is especially historical. The precursors had only the D.C. current at their disposal for studies. Nowadays, continuously to want to reduce teaching by this practical side, we reduce our raisonnment to over-simplification.
