INTERFERENTIAL THERAPY -125 PROGRAMME
Interferential therapy, we make use of two medium frequency alternating these medium frequency currents are not identical & may differ in frequency up to 150Hz. Two oscillator of frequency are generated & are cross wisely applied to the body by means of four electrode pads. (CH1 & CH2) channel with one pair of pads
i.e. 2Nos of pads. One oscillator has a fixed frequency of 4000 Hz the other ranged in the frequency between 3850 Hz both oscillator interfere i.e. intersect inside the body resulting in a signal as a carrier & low frequency part (the difference in frequency) for the actual therapy. In simple words define the interferential therapy as when two medium frequency currents
i.e. CH1 & CH2 intersect with easy leading interference current to be generated at the place. For example, let us take two medium frequency current in CH1 =4000 Hz & CH2 = 3850 Hz. These two currents are applied to any part of body, the point where the current cross each other. The new beat frequency current set up is amplified which modulated i.e. AMF Amplified modulated medium frequency & the frequency new current is called interferential current which 150 Hz by varying the constant frequency of the first it is to produce a range of beat frequencies deep in the patient's tissue. Thus, it is possible to create any desired rate in the carrier current.
4 POLE MODES:
The maximum AMF is obtained in the intersection of the two applied alternating currents. The electrodes should be applied accurately. The balance controls (CH2) enable minor adjustment of the effective stimulation of the four pole method enabled selective stimulation of the deeper lying tissue & is highly of shoulders, knee, neck & lower back. In this mode there has to be strictly all the four pads that is two of CH.
4 POLE VECTOR METHOD:
In this mode i.e. 4 pole vector is selected, the 30 sec countdown starts to set properly in the channel i.e. (CH1 &CH2). In the order not to get jerk to the patient during 4 PV as when we increase the intensity, we are not able to understand the output current as it is varying continuously. As in the one of CH1 o/p constant while CH2 frequency or currents start varying. It automatically scans the full area applied (4 Pads) in this mode amplitude varies but frequency stable of one channel & vice versa for another channel.
2 POLE MODES:
In this mode the AMF interferential current is generated inside the unit & supplied to the patient through two electrodes. This method makes it very easy to localize the area of stimulation because the AMF is present in skin zones. In this mode it is not necessary to use all the four pads i.e. a pair of pads can be applied individually and two different places at a time.
BEAT FREQUENCY AND SCAN MODE:
Beat frequency is basically different between output frequencies of channels. This can be varied from 0 Hz to 150 Hz maximum by using beat frequency UP/DOWN keys on the front, 80-150 & 0- 10 they vary automatically beat frequency as per setting.
In the position 1/1 the oscillation retains the present base frequency for one second and then switches instantaneously to the sum frequency then return to the present base frequency and cycle repeats. These waveforms are strong and aggressive and broader. This program is recommended for chronic complaints demanding rigorous treatment.
In the position 1/5 the oscillation retains the present base frequency for five seconds, clamps during one second to the sum frequency for five seconds and then swings down to the present base frequency during one second. The cycle then repeats. This program is much milder and implicated by patients with acute and sub-acute complaints.
In the position 6/6 the oscillation is no longer held fixed for a period of time. It sweeps continuously upwards for six seconds and continuously for six seconds, always having the present base frequency and the present sum frequency (that is base frequency + sweep frequency) as it respective peaks and troughs of the three possibilities this is the mildest for acute and painful complaints.
ELECTRODE POSITIONING
Since four electrodes are used for application of interferential currents, the positioning of the electrodes is an important and needs special consideration in all cases. As the therapeutic low frequencies are only created where the two circuits “interfere” with each other the four electrodes should positioned in such a way that the currents intersect with in the area to be treated.
Finally increase the intensity gently and cautiously so that the patient starts feeling the current and increase the patient tolerance capacity.
If there is a difference in current in both the channels this can be equalized by the balance control. Channel is provided for this purpose. Usually this difference is caused due to difference in resistance in the body with two currents are passing.
The currents in CH1 & CH2 are independently measured.
INTERFERENTIAL THERAPY UNIT SHOULD NOT BE APPLIED IN THE FOLLOWING CASES:
TUMERS PERSON WITH CARDIC DISEASES, ANY SUPPURATIVE INFLAMMATIONS, INSIDE THE HEAD, ABDOMEN, AREA OF THE PREGNANT WOMAN, LOWER ABDOMEN AREA OF THE MENSTRUATING WOMEN, CHILDRENN UNDER 10 YEARS OF AGE, BLEEDING AT THE SURFACE OR INTERNALLY.
SAFETY: Area under the treatment must be thoroughly wet for good electrical connection. Before connecting electrodes to the unit, be sure that output intensity control is at ZERO position. The termination of treatment of therapeutic procedure turns output control from 0 to 10. Collation soft paper towels gauze or cotton may be used between electrodes and skin for sanitary purpose and must be kept in the wet condition if patient complaint of discomfort it may be due to too much current, insufficient moistening of electrodes minor small denuded or hyper sensitivity of the patient. In any case, we turn intensity output control to ZERO and exams connecting electrodes as necessary. Skin abrasions may be covered with colloid or cold cream to prevent irritation. The patient should be placed in comfortable positions on a bed or a wooden table or chair.
LIMITATIONS : the electrical stimulation with lower frequency can be extremely painful, scaring and the maximum current that patient may be able to tolerate. It is not at all advisable to force higher intensity or current. It is advised not to force higher intensity beyond totalizing conditions. Basic rule is never used bare plate contact. Always use wetted cloth contact which prevents run way conditions.
