    Study Notes

    Electrotherapy Introduction

    • Electrotherapy is the use of electrophysical agents for both treatment and evaluation purposes.
    • The use of electrotherapy dates back to ancient Greece; Largus used eels and torpedo fish for gout treatment.
    • In the 1780s, Luigi Galvani discovered that frog's gastrocnemius muscle contracted with electricity.
    • Alessandro Volta discovered the Voltaic pile in 1800, which generates current flow from the contact of two metals.
    • Galvani and Volta laid the foundation for modern electrotherapy.

    General Effects of Electricity

    • Heat: Electrical current produces heat.
    • Chemical: Electrical current can alter chemical reactions.
    • Physiological: Electrical current has effects on living organisms.
    • Mechanical: Electrical current can cause movement.
    • Electromagnetic: Electrical current generates electromagnetic fields.

    Atomic Structure

    • The atom is the smallest unit of a chemical element.
    • The atom is composed of a nucleus and an electron cloud.
    • The nucleus contains protons and neutrons.
    • Proton count determines the element and dictates the atom's neutrality or electrical charge.
    • Atoms with an equal number of protons and electrons are electrically neutral.
    • Atoms lose electrons due to electrical stimulation to become electrically positive.
    • Atoms gain electrons due to electrical stimulation to become electrically negative.
    • Atoms with eight electrons in their outer shell are considered saturated.
    • Low voltage currents are characterized by 150V and short pulse duration.
