Passive Care - MENS = Microcurrent (Microamperage) Flashcards

1
Q

MENS = Microcurrent (Microamperage): Action

A

Electrochemical
Analgesic
The primary effect is tissue healing (cellular healing)
MENS current reverses electrical flow in tissue (injured tissue has reversed electrical flow)

Q

MENS = Microcurrent (Microamperage): Results

A

Increased protein synthesis & DNA synthesis
Changes in cell wall permeability
Increased intracellular concentrations of Ca
Increased adenosine triphosphate production
Increased fibroblast activity
Decreased prostaglandins and decreased pain are all results of the therapy
No contraction of muscle
