Q

What are the parameters for Neuromuscular Reeducation?

A 
Duty Cycle - 1:3 or 1:5
Ramping - dependent on patient comfort
Pulse frequency - 50-70Hz
Intensity - motor tetany
Frequency - 3 set 5-20 reps 3x/day
17
Q

What are the parameters for would healing with HVPC?

A

(reduce healing time by 1.5-2.5 times)
Pulse frequency - 100pps
Intensity - Sensory
(-) electrode till infection clears, then (+)

18
Q

What are the parameters for wound healing with MENS?

A

Pulse frequency - Max level
Intensity - subsensory
(-) electrode until infection clears then (+) electrode

19
Q

What are the parameters for Edema Prevention?

A

HVPC only
Intensity - sensory level (~10% less than needed for contraction)
Pulse Frequency - 120 pps
(-) polarity - facilitate permeability of BVs

20
Q

What are the parameters for Edema Reduction?

A 
Any biphasic or HVPC (pulsed direct)
Intensity - motor twitch/tetany (strong but comfortable)
Duty cycle - 1:3
Pulse Frequency - 50 (te)
Frequency - 20-30 min 2-5x/day
