continuous

Question 4

while the clinical goal of all ESTHR is healing what makes Hi-Volt (-) different?

Answer 4

it is also for edema reduction

Question 5

Answer 7

over or around wound

Question 8

what is the intensity of micro-current?

Answer 8

subsensory not felt by patient

Question 9

what is the intensity of both polarities of Hi-Volt?

Answer 9

pateint comfort

what are the indications for ESTHR?

Answer 10

stimulate healing

Hi-Volt only

• reduce edema
• decrease spasm/guarding (pelvic floor muscles)
