MICROCURRENT MNES

Question 1

WHAT IS MNES

Answer 1

ITS THE APPLICTAION OF CONINOUS OR INTERMINTENT OR MONOPHASIC CURRENT OVER LOW INTENSITY ON THE SKIN WITH LESS THAN 1 MA

Question 2

WHAT TYPE OF CURRENT DOES MNES DELIVER

Answer 2

MICROAMPERAGE CURRENT (MONOPHASIC OR BIPHASIC)

Question 3

What is the arnold shulz law

Answer 3

weak stimuli increases physiologic activity

and very strog stimuli abolishes or inhibits the activity

Question 4

beckers theory

Answer 4

.tissue is mainted by direct current electrical system
. a shift in the current happens when the tissue is injured
.this shift is called CURRENT OF INJURY
. MET is used to treat while TENS is not used

Question 5

microcurrent and wound healing

Answer 5

the electtical pattern in thehuman is btw the straitum cornuem amd the dermis

injury current occurs due to wound caused by trauma
the mnes immitates the normla biological electrical currents in our body to heal the wound

Question 6

galvonotexy effect

Answer 6

galvano.. flat current production in the form of monophasic wave
taxis… movemrnt of cathode or anode
sooooo in general applying monophasic currents to the positive or negative cells in the wounded area stimulates galvanotaxic effect

Question 7

effects of mnes

Answer 7

galvanotaxy 
antiseptic 
restoring metabolic process
promote atp
detoxification 
improve blood circulation and nutrient distribution

Question 8

in antiseptic effect what currents inhibit the growth of bacteria

Answer 8

monophasic current and mnes

Question 9

current properties

Answer 9

frequency is 1hz
on time...0.5 sec
amplitude,,, 1000 or 1 ma
voltage.. 60v
waveform... continous or monophasic

Question 10

what is the negatice pole and the positive pole used for in mnes respectively

Answer 10

positive pole… pain control

negative pole is for.. sclerotic effect

Question 11

why is the choice of poles important

Answer 11

to speed up the healing processb

Question 12

what happens in the negativley charged cells

Answer 12

eg are macophae and neutrophils
happens in inflammatroy phase
the cells move toward to anodal area for preffered wound healing

Question 13

what happens in the positively charged phase

Answer 13

t
used in two phases…
1, proliferative phase… potive cells like fibroblast move towards the cathode and from collagen
2. remodeling phase.. postive keratinocyte and epidermal goes to the cathode perfrom maturation of the wound

Question 14

wallace protocol for mnes

Answer 14

for pain.. 30hz 5min and 600 micor ampere

for wound healing.. 3hz..5min and 600 ma

Question 15

indications

Answer 15

wound healing 
headaches or migrane
low back pain 
epicondylitis
piriformis syndrome 
myofascial pain spots 
arthritic conditions
delayed union in fractures

Question 16

contraindictaions

Answer 16

neoplastic lesion 
osteomyelitis
electronic implants 
bleesing zones
anterior cervical region
