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 moreWhat is low frequency therapy?
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 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.
