PY - 2021 T2 - Therapeutic Modalities in Rehabilitation, 6e AB - OBJECTIVESFollowing completion of this chapter, the student will be able to:Define common terminology related to electricity.Differentiate between monophasic, biphasic, and pulsatile currents.Differentiate between direct (DC), alternating (AC), and pulsatile (PC) currents.Explain current flow through various types of biologic tissue.Discriminate between series and parallel circuit arrangements.Discuss the various treatment parameters including waveforms, current modulation frequency, intensity, duration, polarity, and electrode placement that must be considered with electrical stimulating currents.Explain nerve, muscle, and nonexcitatory cell physiologic responses to electrical stimulation.Discuss the clinical goals of using electrical stimulating currents to stimulate either motor nerves to induce muscle contraction, or sensory nerves for the purpose of modulating pain.Differentiate between the various currents that can be selected on many modern generators including high volt, TENS microcurrent, Russian, interferential, premodulated interferential, low volt, and H-wave.Discuss additional uses for electrical currents including bone growth stimulation, functional electrical stimulation, and transcranial electrical stimulation.Create a safe environment when using electrical equipment.
