First off, I have not used the HDR, so this is entirely hypothetical. I've always been better at theoretical work than experimental.
The human body has capacitance. See this: Body capacitance - Wikipedia
The HDR uses potentiometers to adjust the resistance of the circuit.
I believe that the HDR uses impedance matching to maximize power transfer from the circuit to the human body.
Basically, it achieves complex conjugate matching by closely matching the resistance & capacitance, which are conjugate components of complex electrical impedance.
The stick reaction is likely caused by the abrupt spatial change in energy and the resulting force.
