Diadynamic current physical therapy medical treatment electrotherapy

Summary

This document provides information on diadynamic current, a type of electrotherapy used in physical therapy. Different modes of diadynamic current, such as MF, DF, CP, LP, and RS, are explained, along with their effects on pain relief, reducing inflammation, and improving circulation. The document also details the contraindications, precautions, and potential dangers of using diadynamic current.

Symmetrical sinusoidal current(AC) wave symetriaulsinsousal Ac sin Diadynamic current  Diadynamic OSI currents is a low frequency current the name from the Greek, dia means through and Dynamis means force 19500 As the first described and used in clinical practice in 1950 by Pierre Bernard a e French dental surgeon so it may be called Bernard current. It BC Diadynamic current bi  Diadynamic currents are basically a variation of sinusoidal current. They are monophasic sinusoidal currents (rectified alternating current).  The carrier frequency is a sine wave, operating at 50Hz .

If Acid / alkaline reactions  Human tissues are composed of a mixture of approximately 70% e sodium chloride (Na+Cl−) and water (H2O).  The continuous DC flow through such tissues leads to electrolysis of this salted water medium at the electrode–skin interface.  Over time during therapy, this continuous DC flow will redistribute the sodium and chloride.  It Will get ACID accumulation under the POSITIVE (anode) electrode (weak HCl) • This is because the negatively charged chloride ions (Cl- from NaCl) is attracted towards the anode. • This is considered sclerotic, which tends to harden tissues through protein coagulation. a a HCl agtic node reaction Acid / alkaline reactions  Also it Will get ALKALINE accumulation under the NEGATIVE e (cathode) electrode because the positively charged sodium ions (Na+ from NaCl) will move towards the cathode.  • The Na+ ions react with water to form sodium hydroxide (NaOH). • considered sclerolytic in nature and, over time, tends to soften the skin (due to liquefying of proteins), thus exposing it to potential irritation and burn.  Such a sclerolytic is responsible for erythema of the skin and itching or burning sensation felt under this electrode during therapy.
