Interferential Flashcards
What arrangement are electrodes placed in Interferential current?
Criss cross
What is it called when two sinusoidal waves are exactly in phase combine and the waves supplement each other?
Constructive interference
What is it called when 2 sinusoidal waves are exactly out of phase which results in cancellation of both wavesS?
Destructive interference
What is it called when there is a combination of constructive and destructive intereference resulting in a wave with a beat.
Heterodyne
True interferential uses how many channels and how may electrodes?
2 channels, 4 electrodes
What is the shape of the treatment area in true interferential?
Cloverleaf
Premod is used primarily for what?
Pain
Where does interference occur in premod?
The machine not the body like in IF
What size area is premod good for? How many electrodes?
Small, 2
What type of current is good for one seat of muscle groups??
Premod
Is premod specific but doesn’t penetrate deeply?
YES
What type of current does vector scan use?
True interferential
What is the electrode arrangement for vector scan?
Quadripolar
What size treatment area does vector scan use?
Large
How many electrodes and how many channels are used in sterodynamic ?
3 channels, 6 electrodes
