didanamic current Flashcards
(19 cards)
5 diadynamic wave forms
diaphase fixe monophase fixe courtes period longues periods syncopal rythm
diaphase fixe characteristics
100 hz frequency tickling sensation and muscle contraction occurs at high intensities has analgesic effects used initally to start treatments used in sympathetic ganglia
monophase fixe characteris
frequency of 50 hz
used in connective tissue stimulation and in painful conditions
strong vibe is felt during application
cortes fixe characteristics
no break rest
used in trophic and painful conditions that are not associated with spasms after trauma
long periods characte
formed by the alternating application of diaphasic and monophasic fixe
has long lasting analgesic effects
used in nueralgia and myalgia
includes 10 sec of df followed by 5 secs of mf
ryhtm syncopal
has a contraction effect on the muscle and nerves
Same with monophosic but transition time is different
Has rest
asides DF the duration should last for
2-5 minutes and shouldnt exceed 10-12 minutes
CIRCULATORY DISORDERS ANd the didynamic used
raynauds disease buerger arterosclerosis obliterans heir use df and ccp to fix
circulation disorders
raynauds phenomenon
varicose pain
buergers disease
indications for didanamic
radiculopathy .. pinching of nerve root in the spinal column .. includes pain weakness and tingling with numbness
neuralgia
sudecks atrophy.. chronic pain that affects distal regions
low frequency currents whose frequncies are modulated is
didanamic current
the cp ,lp and rs wave forms are derived from what
combination of df and mf wave forms
in pathological situations the type of didanamic current should be selected accorfing to what
thier effcts
effects of diadynamic
physiological and therapuetic
physiological effect
has more hyperemia and pain relief
main effect for treatment is the painful condition associated with musculoskeletal system
therapuetic effects
•It has a strong inhibitory or analgesic effect on
sensory nerves. it causes depolarization of the
sensory or motor nerve fibers depending on the
current intensity.
•While a strong inhibitory or analgesic effect is
created through the sensory nerves, excitatory
effects occur in the skeletal muscles that are
electrically stimulated through the motor nerves.
•The real therapeutic effect is the modulation of
pain as a result of a combination of inhibitory
and excitatory effects.
current intensity in all current types should be set at a value between
perception and pain threshold
dosage
duration…nor more than 12 min each type for 3 min
frequency … daily or every other day for 12 sessions
df 2min mf 1 min cp or lp till the end or 8 min
didanamic it can be applied on nerves
