Indication for IF
Pain reduction
Indications for Russian
Muscle re-education 10/50
Muscle strengthening
Retard atrophy
Decrease spasm - 10/10
Indication for ESTHR/aka HiVolt
Stimulate healing (+) acute phase Reduce edema (-) remodel phase Decrease spasm/guarding
What would you use to reduce edema?
Hivolt (-) to patient comfort
Electrode near injury with dispersal pad proximal
What are the indications of ultrasound
Increase extensibility of collagen, increased blood flow, metabolism and collagen synthesis.
Decrease joint stiffness and muscle spasm
Enhanced tendon, ligament and muscle healing
