Parameters for mm Re-education | Current Intensity=comfortable mm contraction Pulse duration=150-200small 200-350large Frequecy=35-50pps On/off time-depends on activity Rx time=15-30 min |
MM pumping | I=comfortable contraction PD=150-200small 200-350large Freq=35-55 o/o=1:1 2-5 sec |
Retard Atrophy | I=contraction move agaisnt gravity PD=150-200small 200-350large Freq=50-85pps o/o=1:10 6sec/60off Rx time=15-20 min |
Muscle strengthening | I-mm contraction against gravity PD=150-200small 200-350large Freq=35-80opps O/O time=1:5 RX time=15-20 |
Endurance | I-a slgiht muscle contraction PD=150-200 200-350 Freq=<40pps o/o=begin with longer off time ptogress to shorter off time Rx=15-20 reps |
Pain control gate control theory | I-sensory PD=50-80pps Freq=100-15- pps o/o time- continous Rx-20-30 min |
Reduce spasticiity | I=slight mm contraction
PD=150-200 200-350
Freq=35-40pps
o/o=longer on time for fatigue
Rx time=15 min |
Decrease edema thru fluid shift | I=sensory
PD=40-100
Freq=100-120pps
Rx time=20-30min |
Pain Control opiate theory | I=a comfortable contraction
PD=200-300
Freq=2-10pps
on/off=1:1 ratio
no polarity
Rx time-20-30 min max 40 |
