1
Q

WHAT IS MNES

A

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

2
Q

WHAT TYPE OF CURRENT DOES MNES DELIVER

A

MICROAMPERAGE CURRENT (MONOPHASIC OR BIPHASIC)

3
Q

What is the arnold shulz law

A

weak stimuli increases physiologic activity

and very strog stimuli abolishes or inhibits the activity

4
Q

beckers theory

A

.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

5
Q

microcurrent and wound healing

A

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

6
Q

galvonotexy effect

A

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

7
Q

effects of mnes

A
galvanotaxy 
antiseptic 
restoring metabolic process
promote atp
detoxification 
improve blood circulation and nutrient distribution
8
Q

in antiseptic effect what currents inhibit the growth of bacteria

A

monophasic current and mnes

9
Q

current properties

A
frequency is 1hz
on time...0.5 sec
amplitude,,, 1000 or 1 ma
voltage.. 60v
waveform... continous or monophasic
10
Q

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

A

positive pole… pain control

negative pole is for.. sclerotic effect

11
Q

why is the choice of poles important

A

to speed up the healing processb

12
Q

what happens in the negativley charged cells

A

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

13
Q

what happens in the positively charged phase

A

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

14
Q

wallace protocol for mnes

A

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

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

15
Q

indications

A
wound healing 
headaches or migrane
low back pain 
epicondylitis
piriformis syndrome 
myofascial pain spots 
arthritic conditions
delayed union in fractures
16
Q

contraindictaions

A
neoplastic lesion 
osteomyelitis
electronic implants 
bleesing zones
anterior cervical region
