SOFT TISSUES INJURIES : Mostly due to hyper tonus Biofeedback goal is to modify
postural behavior decreasing and/or balancing muscle activity. the information is
more qualitative as long as Signal variability is a major issue with Surface EMG.
PAIN : Chronic pain produce reductions in joint movements and associated muscle
tightness. EMG Biofeedback is used to promote relaxation
.

Stimulation module
Galvanic current-
Direct current that flows 1 second or
more continuously.
Allows adding another 2 channels
Clinical usage-
Iontophoresis use of current flow between two electrodes
to push ions through the skin barrier.

TENS
Trancutaneous nerve stimulation.
TENS is the popularized name for electrical stimulations to treat pain. It is rectangular biphasic ( symmetrical or
asymmetrical wave form at frequencies in a range 1 to 120Hz and pulse duration from 50 to 200µs
Physiological effects-
• Nerve excitability: Selective excitability of A Beta and
A Delta fibers (sensory nerves) for Gate control and Alpha Moto neurons ( producing muscles twitches at low
frequency) for Endorphin release. Short duration and rectangular pulse shape provide very comfortable
stimulation.
• Clinical usages-
• Acute and Chronic Pain
• Nocioceptive or neurogenic pain
• Dysmenorhea
©DJO Incorporated
• Angina pectoris
• Labor pain but not during actual partum.

NMES
Description
The current use for Neuro Muscular Electrical stimulation is basically a TENS current as rectangular biphasic
(symmetrical wave form at frequencies in a range of 1 to 120Hz and pulse duration from 150 to 500µs
Physiological effects
• Nerve excitability: Excitability of Alpha motor neurons producing normally innervated muscles contractions.
Short duration and rectangular pulse shape can provide very strong contractions but very comfortable stimulation.
• Clinical usages-
• Normally innervated muscle stimulation
• Prevention of Atrophy
• Mobilization
• Muscle reinforcement
• Functional Electrical Stimulation

INTERFERENTIAL (IFC)
time
Description
Interferential currents IFC are two Alternating currents applied in a continuous mode
Frequencies are in the range of 1-10kHz. The currents have a slightly different frequency. The total current
amplitude is the sum of the two currents at any point in the tissue where they interfere.
Physiological effects
• Deep efficiency of stimulation ( maximum stimulus is produced at depth )
• High frequency currents are more comfortable in case of High impedance ( resistive skin and fat tissues)
• Nerve excitability
• Gate control
• Endorphins & encephalin release.
• Clinical usages-
• Pain ( same as TENS )

INTERFERENTIAL 4 pole Vector
Vector rotation
•This is achieved by rhythmically increase or
decrease the amount of current applied on each pair I1
I2
of electrode over a period of several seconds ( when
one current goes up the other goes down and vice
versa). Vector rotation will change the pattern of
stimulation in the tissue volume. Increasing the
current in one direction between one pair of electrode
will stimulate more fibers lying parallel to the current
path. I1
I2
Clinical usage-
Itotal
Greater stimulation is produced at deeper depth.
Mainly use for pain ( gate control) . Whirlpool effect.

PREMODULATED INTERFERENTIAL 2 poles
I1
Description
The 2 frequencies are combined within the stimulator producing
one current claimed as having similar parameters to the expected
outcome of current mixing in tissues producing better comfort.
Clinical usage- I1
Easier to apply
Maybe be more effective and comfortable in muscle stimulation
Greater stimulation remains superficially to treatment.

High Voltage pulsed currents-
Description
The High Voltage Pulsed Current (HVPC) has a very brief
pulse duration ( 7µs) characterized by two distinct peaks Volt
Clinical use
Pain
Wound healing
Better tissue penetration in impedance issue patients.

BIPHASICS PULSED
CURRENTS
BIphasic pulsed currents
-Balanced Asymmetrical : can result in can’t be be apply on:
Electrically sensitive
different sensations under each electrode ex. support systems
Pacemakers
Slow twitch or fast twitch muscle re-innervation or
re-education.
Microcurrents
Volt or 1 to 1000 µA
Amp
Description
Microcurrent is a current delivered at very low intensity ( less time
than 1mA . Can be monophasic or biphasic.
Physiological effects
Microcurrent is delivered well below the threshold for nerve Microcurrent is the only current that
stimulation. At similar magnitude to the endogenous currents patients does not feel due to its
very low intensity
identified as being part of normal tissue healing.
It can supplement or enhance the naturally direct current
potentials associated with repair, and thereby stimulate the
healing process.
