1
Q

What does Electrothermal mean?

A

Heat
Micro-vibration
Electrically leads to heat (Joule’s Law)

2
Q

What does Electrochemical mean?

A

Ionto & Opiods
Iontophoresis is DC current
Opioid Frequency: 1-10 (endorphins) / 70-120 (enkephalins)
Low Volt

3
Q

What does Electrophysical mean?

A

Kinetic

Ions push other molecules around shifting Na+ / K+ pump resulting in contraction

4
Q

Electricity - what happens when you increase the frequency? Does it increase or decrease the depth?

A

increase

5
Q

US - what happens when you increase the frequency? Does it increase or decrease the depth?

A

decrease

6
Q

US - 1MHz is deep or superficial?

A

deep

7
Q

US - 3MHz is deep or superficial?

A

superficial

8
Q

1 pad

A

motor point or muscle belly

9
Q

2 pads

A

either side of the muscle belly

if the muscle is especially weak

10
Q

Pad Rule

A

1 mA per square inch of pad size

3” square pad = 9 mA

11
Q

What types of Pads?

A

Monopolar
Bipolar
Quadripolar

12
Q

Monopolar Pad

A

used for larger area or trigger / acupuncture point
Dispersal (aka indifferent) = large pad / should not have any sensation
Active pad = small pad
The active pad mA should be smaller than the dispersal pad

13
Q

Bipolar Pad

A

small muscle group

dispersal and active pads are equal size

14
Q

Quadripolar Pad

A

criss cross pattern
IF
RS

15
Q

Pain

A

Continuous

16
Q

Exercise / Rehab

A
Ramp Time
Surge = increased ramp time
Duty Cycle = 1:3 or 1:5
1 = work
3 or 5 = rest
1:3 = normal muscle
1:5 = weak muscle
17
Q

Fatigue / Spasm

A

Pulsed / Tetanizing

Duty Cycle: 1:1

18
Q

Reciprocating

A

contract agonist, then antagonist

19
Q

Modulation

A

is used to avoid accommodation

20
Q

Burst

A

TENS

packages of stimulation

21
Q

How do you treat Pain?

A

Low Frequency
1-20 endorphin (low and slow)
70-150 enkephalin (high and fast)

22
Q

How do you treat edema?

A

3-5

23
Q

How do you exercise a muscle?

A

15 - 25

24
