Original

What is TENS used for ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- pain modulation
||\\//|| ||\\//||




- stimulating sensory, motor, nociceptive neurons
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




what unit is tens amplitude
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- milliamps
||\\//||




Conventional TENS ||\\//||




- sensory level: target A beta
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- frequency: >100pps
||\\//|| ||\\//||




- treatment time: >30min
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- pulse duration shorter (<100us)
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- duration of relief: short
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- can do during therex to modulate pain during activity
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- biphasic PC symmetrical
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||

,Acupuncture like - rhythmical TENS ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- motor level
||\\//|| ||\\//||




- targets motor neurons (A beta and a alpha fibers)
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- pain theory: descending control
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- high amplitude (visible muscle twitching)
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- low frequency (2-4pps)
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- long pulse duration 200-300us
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- treatment time > 30 mins
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- duration of relief: potentially hours
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- biphasic PC symmetrical
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Brief Intense TENS
||\\//|| ||\\//||




- noxious level
||\\//|| ||\\//||




- target C and a delta fibers
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- pain theory: descending control and opiate- mediated system
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- high amplitude (as high as person can tolerate)
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- high frequency (100-150pps)
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- long pulse duration (> 1ms)
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- longer than 30 mins
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- duration of relief: hours
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- biphasic PC symmetrical
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Burst TENS ||\\//||




- causing noxious level TENS
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||

,- targets A delta and C fibers
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- pain theories: descending control and opiate mediated system (same as brief intense but
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




lower frequency) ||\\//||




- biphasic waves w breaks in between
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- high amplitude (as high as they can tolerate)
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- frequency is much lower (2-4pps)
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- long pulse duration: >1ms
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- duration of treatment: >30 min
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- duration of relief: hours
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- biphasic PC symmetrical
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




What is IFC used for ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- pain > strengthening
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- targets a larger area than TENS
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Constructive interference ||\\//||




- sinusoidal waves are exactly the same and summit in fashion
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Destructive Interference ||\\//||




- sinusoidal waves are exactly the same and generated exactly out of phase w each other
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




therefore cancelling each other out ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- ex: generator 1 starts in negative and 2 starts in positive
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||

, Heterodyne

- the blending of waves in a combined constructive and destructive pattern
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- rising and falling waveform
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




IFC vs TENS ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- IFC better for chronic pain
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- IFC is deeper
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- IFC used for bowel dysfunction
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- IFC = motor, TENS= sensory, motor, C fiber and adelta
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




When to use premod IFC ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- smaller treatment areas
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- crossing in machine instead of on outside
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- farther apart=deeper penetration
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- electrode over painful area
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




Quadripolar IFC ||\\//||




- 4 electrodes, crossing on outside
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




- painful area in center
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||




w vector scan:
||\\//|| ||\\//||




- rotation of treatment area, modulates one channel and stays unmodulated on other
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
