Therapy option spasticity treatment

The fundamental principle of special electrotherapy methods e.g. for spastic cerebral palsy, spasms following apoplectic insult and adductor spasms is the stimulation of the Golgi tendon organs, which in turn is aimed at inhibiting muscle spasticity at bone marrow level. Directly following inhibition of the affected muscle, in the second circuit the antagonistic muscles are stimulated.

Dr. Felipe Medina presents an example of the adjuvant therapy option in a video.

SPECIAL FEATURES

ELECTROTHERAPY

• Two-channel electrotherapy (21 currents) with basic settings on top level and detailed parameter settings in the expert menu (with visualization of the current shape parameters)
• 6 diagnostic menus (incl. quick I/T curve representation): the user-guided navigation makes the diagnostic evaluation self explanatory and effective
• Alternating and simultaneous stimulation
• Spasticity treatment acc. to Hufschmidt or Jantsch
• Manual release key for emergency shut-off or intentional exercises
• Warning in case of intensity exceeding

ULTRASOUND THERAPY

• The ergonomic ultrasound transducers offer maximum safety and reliability in terms of power output. They combine 1 and 3 MHz ultrasound in an extremely durable and biocompatible titanium transducer, thereby excluding metallurgical deposits and are also suitable for subaqueous treatment.
• Continuous or pulsed energy output (4 duty cycles [1:10, 1:5, 1:3, 2:5])
•  

A WORD ON CLEAN CURRENTS..

Quite a few electrotherapy instruments today no longer emit stimulation currents in the form described in teaching manuals, and on which efficient electrotherapy is proven to be based. Instead of this – and in many cases due to cost savings – similar, but not identical, curve forms are used. Nobody knows exactly whether these cause the desired effects in tissue in the same way as the original currents. Instead of medium frequency currents, for example, low frequency ones are generated, and vice versa. In a direct comparison, the difference between ”genuine“ and ”similar“ currents can often be felt, but it only becomes visible when the current curves are viewed on an oscilloscope. Galvanic currents with spikes can be found, distorted instead of harmonic sinusoidal curves, or even deformed envelopes of diadynamic currents.

PHYSIOMED distances itself firmly from this trend of compromising therapeutic success only for the sake of maximising profits. PHYSIOMED instruments therefore only supply ‘clean’ currents. This also explains the often heard opinion of competent electrotherapy users, that despite using the same parameters, they obtain better therapeutic results with PHYSIOMED instruments than with other stimulation current instruments.
