5
Q

What is the electrode placement for HiVolt therapy (active vs dispersal)?

A
  • -Active electrode (larger) placed in the area of the injury

6
Q

What polarity is used for the Inflammatory Phase and what cells are attracted?

A

+ polarity; attracts neutrophils and macrophages

7
Q

What polarity is used for the Repair/Remodeling Phase and what cells are attracted?

A
