Relative contra-indications or TENS current types: • carotid sinus region; • eyes; • heart conditions (anterior thorax); • CVA (head). * the presence of an ‘on-demand’ pacemaker is an absolute contra-indication for TENS current types. 40
10 EXAMPLES OF TREATMENT 10.1 Introduction The information in this chapter can be used in various ways. The simplest and most obvious way is simply to copy the examples, and ‘project’ them onto the patient. There is no objection to this, and it is even to be recommended for those who make little used of low- or medium-frequency electrotherapy. However, as every treatment situation is unique, it is impossible to include every imaginable situation in one book. The principal aim of this chapter is to use the examples of treatment to illustrate the field of application covered by this book. 10.2 Examples 1. Arthrosis of the acromioclavicular joint Objective : pain reduction Patient position : supine or sitting Electrode positions : cathode on acromioclavicular joint anode between shoulder blades level T1 – T5 Current type : 2-5 current (Träbert) Output characteristic : CC Frequency : - Phase time : - Burst : - Frequency modulation : - Sweep mode : - Amplitude : limit of tolerance Treatment time : 10 – 15 minutes Frequency of treatment : twice weekly Alternative Current type : TENS (biphasic asymmetrical puls) Output characteristic : CC Frequency : 100 Hz Phase time : 150 – 200 µs Burst : 2 – 5 Hz Frequency modulation : - Sweep mode : - Amplitude : limit of tolerance Treatment time : 10 – 15 minutes Frequency of treatment : twice weekly 2. Chondromalacia of patellae Objective : pain reduction Patient position : semirecumbent Electrode positions : transverse Current type : diadynamic (DF – CP) Output characteristic : CC Frequency : - Phase time : - Burst : - Frequency modulation : - Sweep mode : - Amplitude : sensory level Treatment time : DF 4 min.; CP 6 min. Frequency of treatment : twice to three times weekly Alternative Current type : TENS (biphasic asymmetrical puls) Output characteristic : CC Frequency : 50 - 80 Hz Phase time : 50 µs Burst : 2 Hz Frequency modulation : - Sweep mode : - Amplitude : limit of tolerance Treatment time : 15 minutes Frequency of treatment : twice weekly 41
