What parameters are used for muscle strengthening using a TENS unit?
|
Pulse Freq.
35-80pps Pulse Dur. 150-200ms (small), 200-350ms (large) make sure to place over motor points. Mechanism of Action Overload Principle- at least 50% max. contraction Treatment time 10-20 min every 2-3 hours when awake |
|
What are the parameters for muscle reeducation?
|
35-50pps
150-200ms(small) 200-350ms (large) |
|
What are the parameters for Muscle spasm reduction?
|
35-50pps
150-200ms(small) 200-350ms (large) Treatment Time: 10-30 min every 2-3 hours until spasm relieved. |
|
For Pain modulation what are the parameters for Conventional (high rate)?
|
100-150pps
50-80ms (depolarize only A-beta) Amplitude= to produce tingling Duration: may be worn 24 hours, as needed for pain control. |
|
How does Conventional(high rate) control the pain? By releasing endorphins or gating at the spinal cord?
|
gating at the spinal cord
|
|
For Pain modulation what are the parameters for Low Rate (acupuncture-like)?
|
2-10pps
200-300ms (depolarize motor nerves and A-beta) Amplitude: to visible contraction treatment time: 20-30 min |
|
How does Low Rate control the pain? By releasing endorphins or gating at the spinal cord?
|
Endorphin release
|
|
What are the parameters for burst mode TENS?
|
preset at 10 bursts
100-300ms Amplitude: to visible contraction Treatment time:20-30 min. |
|
What are the parameters for tissue healing at the Inflammatory phase/infected?
|
HVPC (monophasic)
(negative polarity 45-60 min. duration) 60-125pps 40-100ms Amplitude: Produce comfortable tingling. |
|
What are the parameters for tissue healing at the Proliferation phase/clean?
|
HVPC (positive polarity 45-60 min. duration)
60-125pps 40-100ms Amplitude: Produce comfortable tingling. |
|
What are the parameters for controlling edema when it is associated with inflammation?
|
HVPC (negative polarity)
100-120pps 40-100ms Amplitude:Produce comfortable tingling |
|
What are the parameters for controlling edema when it is associated with lack of motion?
|
Biphasic
35-50pps (2-5sec equal on/off times) 150-350ms Amplitude: Produce visible contraction |
|
What are the contraindications for E-Stim?
|
1. Demand cardiac pacemaker or unstable arrhythmias
2. Placement of electrodes over carotid sinus 3. Areas where venous or arterial thrombosis or thrombophlebitis is present 4. Pregnancy-over or around abdomen or back |
|
What are the precautions of E-Stim?
|
1. Cardiac disease
2. Patients with impaired mentation or in areas with impaired sensation 3. Malignant tumors 4. Areas of skin irritation or open wounds 5. Iontophoresis after other physical agents |
|
What do you use for a denervated muscle?
|
You use a continuous DC current for at least 10 ms.
|
|
Short pulses and low-current amplitudes are used for sensory or motor stimulation?
|
Sensory stimulation
|
|
Long pulses and higher amplitudes are used for sensory or motor stimulation?
|
motor stimulation
|
