Active osteomyelitis

Question 3

TES Parameters

Answer 3

Waveform
Frequency
Intensity
Duty cycle
Ramp time
Pulse duration
Treatment time

Question 4

IFC: Indications

Answer 4

Pain control and muscle stimulation
1. More comfortable at high intensity
2. Deeper penetration
3. Stimulation of large area

Question 5

IFC: Parameters

Answer 5

1. Interaction of 2 separate currents, which results in an interferential current.
2. Frequency 1000-10,000 pps (defined by beat frequency)

Higher frequency, low amplitude = pain

Question 6

Russian: Indications

Answer 6

Muscle Strengthening

Question 7

Russian: Parameters

Answer 7

Low frequency, High amplitude = muscle contraction

High frequency with a polyphasic/bi-phasic waveform
Long inter-burst intervals
Short durations

Question 8

TENS: Contraindications

Answer 8

Pregnancy
DVTs
Pacemaker
Peripheral vascular disease
