contraindications |
pregnancy, pace-maker, arrhythmia, not over carotid, hypersensitivity never over metal implants, bleeding, malignancies, eyes, or for disoriented pt |
|
|
Increase ROM |
reduce contractures -intensity: as high as tolerable, increase gradually during tx, get mm to contract -Duration: 300-600 mS -PPS: 40-60 -On: 15-20 sec, off: greater or equal -Hi-volt pulsed, medium biphasic, or russian -leads: ? -90 min/day.. 3 tx? |
|
|
muscle strengthening |
-hi volt or russian -Pulse duration: 300-600 mS -PPS: 70-85 -on: 10-15, off: 50-120 -3x/week -3 sets of 10 contractions (weakness or denervation) |
|
|
reduce edema |
stimulates circulation -high enough for strong, comfortable contraction -300-600 pulse duration -35-50 PPS -20-30 min 2-5x daily -5-10 on, 5-10 off -elevated w/ ice -high volt or medium frequency bi-phasic |
|
|
muscle re-education |
-medium bi-phasic or hi volt -pulse duration: 300-600mS -PPS: 35-55 -on/off 1:1 or 1:4-5 -15 min/Tx contraction but comfortable used for muscle inhibition after surgery or injury increase sensory input |
|
|
retardation of atrophy |
reproduces physical.chem. evens assoc with contraction -pulse duration:300-600 mS -50-85 PPS -15-20min session - 6-15 sec on/ at least 1 min off -high volt or biphasic (add resistance) |
|
|
conventioal TENS, gate control, IFC-pain control |
diminishes painful stimuli, relief only during stimulation -intensity to tolerance, no contraction -75-150 pulse duration -80-125 PPS -30 min session -continuous on IFC |
|
|
Method |
-wash hands. introduce, ask ?s, safety, contrainidications, informed consent - hook up and explain, tell camera selection, duration, PPS, Tx time, on/off, and purpose - tell pt purpose and re-check in 5 min |
