it is a shor t duration interrupted direct current,with a pulse duration of 0.1-1 ms.a frequecy of 50-100hz.
-it is unevenly alterntaing current,each cycle consisting of2 unequal phases,the first one is of low intensity & long duration,second one is high intensity & short duration
Faradic is high frequency current(50-100Hz), where as galvanic is low frequency as compare to faradic faradic is of short duration ranging from 0.01 to 1ms, galvanic is of log duration of 30 min faradic is use to stimulate innervated muscles, and galvanic to denervated mucles faradic give mild pricking type of sensation where as galvanic give stabing type of sensation
Faradic current is an alternating current that is used in electrical stimulation therapy to stimulate muscles, improve circulation, and manage pain. It is characterized by its low frequency and high intensity, typically between 1,000 to 10,000 Hz. The primary goal of faradic current is to induce muscle contractions and provide therapeutic benefits.
The faradic body treatment involves pads strapped to the area to be treated. The pads deliver a low faradic current into the skin and muscles stimulating nerve ending to provide a muscle contraction. The muscles will contract at regular intervals as set by one of the eight programmes.
galvanic currents are use full to stimulate facial muscles, as faradic currents will cause fatigue as they are small muscles irrespective of innervation or denervation.
The aftercare advice that is given after a faradic body electrical treatment is to drink plenty of water. It is the number one advice that is given after body electrical treatment.
Subsensory stimulation, sensory stimulation, motor stimulation, noxious response.
Rest for the remainder of the day after treatment to avoid muscle fatigue. Drink loads of water to aid removal of lactic acid (waste product from muscles). Don't use faradic as a substitute for exercise, Do cardio and weight training to tone muscles. Eat healthily.
its an ems unit that stimulates the motor point of the muscle to cause a contraction resulting in passive exercise of the muscle.
Electrical stimulation of the brain. DBS.
Electrical nerve stimulation
Stimulation Festival was created on 1992-05-18.
Electrical stimulation is typically the most effective method for nerve stimulation as it can directly trigger action potentials in the nerve fibers. Light and chemical stimuli can also stimulate nerves but are generally not as precise or efficient as electrical stimulation.
