Interferential Electrical Stimulation Therapy

If your pt recommends you use electrical stimulation in your therapy program be sure to ask questions and understand what the goal of the stim use is.

Interferential electrical stimulation therapy.

Electrical stimulation is a type of physical therapy modality used to accomplish various tasks in physical therapy pt. Despite their size they are. These frequencies interfere with the pain transmission messages at the spinal cord level. A variety of newer transcutaneous or percutaneous electrical stimulation modalities have emerged.

They include the following. Recently numerous portable interferential devices have become easily available. Low frequency 250pps electrical stimulation of nerves without the associated painful and somewhat unpleasant side effects sometimes associated with low frequency stimulation. E stim is usually.

Interferential current ifc. Interferential current therapy ifc is based on summation of 2 altern. Additionally the term electrotherapy or. The basic principle of interferential therapy ift is to utilise the strong physiologicaportable iftl effects of low frequency 250pps electrical stimulation of nerves without the associated painful and somewhat unpleasant side effects sometimes associated with low frequency stim.

Interferential current therapy is stimulation made by the interception of two electrical mediums of varying frequencies that work together to successfully stimulate large impulse fibers. Electrical stimulation e stim is a physical therapy treatment that uses mild electrical pulses to help repair injured muscles manipulate nerves and reduce your pain. The basic principle of interferential therapy ift is to utilise the significant physiological effects of low frequency 250pps electrical stimulation of nerves without the associated painful and somewhat unpleasant side effects sometimes associated with low frequency stimulation. It can be used to treat sprains and other muscle injuries under the direction of a physician or physical therapist.

Electrotherapy is the use of electrical energy as a medical treatment. The term has also been applied specifically to the use of electric current to speed wound healing. Interferential therapy is a form of electrical stimulation therapy that involves the application of two currents at slightly different frequencies that interfere with each other in the tissues of the body and generate a third low frequency current.
