Q

What are the modalities for Low?

A 
High Volt (which is low frequency)
Low Volt Galvinized (electrophoresis)
Sine (IF is most common) 
Faradic (RD)
Interference (IF & RS)
TENS (Milliamps) - used for pain

HV & IF are good for contraction

Q

What is Medium frequency used for?

A

nothing really - just used to get from one side to the other

used to get in and then it’s treated with low frequency

Q

What are the modalities for High Frequency?

A

Superficial Heat:
IR (infrared) - MC modality of all (warm bath, paraffin, etc)
UV (ultraviolet) - skin and bones

Deep Heat: (diathermy)
MWD (microwave diathermy)
SWD (short wave diathermy)
US (ultrasound) / 1 MHz - 3 MHz) - diathermy if use for high frequency, heat / if just US and pulsed you can use on acute

16
Q

What is Sine?

A 
LOW FREQUENCY: 1-150 HZ
AC, Biphasic, No Polarity
symmetrical
best contractor
no charge left in patient
most efficient
17
Q

What is Faradic?

A 
LOW FREQUENCY: 1-150 HZ
AC, Biphasic, No Polarity
asymmetrical
sporadic
RD
not used very often
18
Q

What is Interferential?

A

LOW FREQUENCY: 1-150 HZ
AC, Biphasic, No Polarity
two sine waves

19
Q

What is Galvanic?

A

LOW FREQUENCY: 1-150 HZ
DC, Monophasic, Polarity
same thing as low volt galvanic
make and break

20
Q

What is High Volt?

A

LOW FREQUENCY: 1-150 HZ
DC, Monophasic, Polarity
twin pulsed peak
only electrical muscle stim that can be used on anesthesia
