Russian current is a | medium frequency polyphasic waveform. |
The intensity of Russian current is produced in a | 50 burst per second interval with a pulse width range of 50-200 microseconds, and an interburst interval of 10 milliseconds. |
Russian current is believed to augment muscle strengthening by | depolarizing both sensory and motor nerve fibers resulting in tetanic contractions that are painless and stronger than those made voluntarily by the patient. |
Since the mode of delivery is theoretically painless, | the increased current amplitude allows the deeper motor nerve fibers to depolarize concomitantly. |
Prior to Russian current the therapist should ensure that | the patientʼs skin is clean and dry. The electrode orientation should be placed parallel to the muscle fibers along the line of pull of the muscle group. |
Russian current electrode placement can be | monopolar, bipolar, quadripolar or multipolar in arrangement. |
Russian stimulation has an average peak current amplitude of | 100 mA, 50 bursts per second, with an on/off time ratio of 10/50. |
A popular training protocol with Russian current suggests a treatment of | 10 evoked contractions with a 10 second contraction and a 50 second rest period between each of the ten contractions. |
