a pt. is more susceptible to pain & potential tissue damage when a _______ sized electrode is used. | smaller |
An example of Direct Current (DC) (AKA Galvanic) | Iontophoresis |
Alternating Current (AC) is used for... | muscle retraining, spasticity, stimulation of denervated muscle |
Interferential Current (IFC) is used for... | pain management, muscle contraction |
IFC parameters for pain management: | frequency: 50-120 pps, pulse width: 50-150 microseconds |
IFC parameters for muscle contraction: | frequency: 20-50 pps, pulse width: 100-200 microseconds |
Russian Current: type of current, waveform... | AC; polyphasic waveform; a type of NMES/FES |
Indications for Russian Current | Muscle contraction/strengthening (used in healthy individuals, athletes) |
