Low-frequency electrical stimulation (LFES) is an acupuncture technique that replicates the benefits of resistance exercise through stimulation of muscle contraction . In skeletal muscle, insulin or IGF-1 plays critical roles in maintaining protein metabolism.
Read moreWhat is low frequency electrotherapy?
Low-frequency electrotherapy (LFE) is a noninvasive approach of delivering surface electrical stimulation, representing a functional stimulation therapy . The LFE unit has been used in this institution since 2008.
Read moreWhat is low frequency TENS used for?
Clinically, TENS is used to reduce pain at the site of injury . Systematic reviews have shown that both low-frequency TENS and high-frequency TENS reduce pain and improve function in people with knee joint osteoarthritis.
Read moreIs IFT low frequency current?
[1] In this review we would mainly focus on Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and interferential therapy (IFT) which use low- and medium-frequency currents , respectively for pain relief.
Read moreIs interferential current alternating current?
Interferential current therapy (IFC) is based on summation of 2 alternating current signals of slightly different frequency . The resultant current consists of a cyclical modulation of amplitude, based on the difference in frequency between the 2 signals.
Read moreWhat is the principle of IFT?
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 .
Read moreWhat type of current is interferential current?
Interferential current stimulation (IFS) is a type of electrical stimulation that uses paired electrodes of 2 independent circuits carrying high-frequency (4,000 Hz) and medium-frequency (150 Hz) alternating currents.
