contraindications of russian

Front

e-stim contraindications, acute musculotendinuous injuries, unstable or unhealed fractures where contraction is contraindicated

Back

less impedance =

Front

more current reaching the muscle

Back

indirect stimulation

Front

nerve root

Back

Russian current uses include

Front

prevention of muscle atrophy, muscle re-education and assist with muscle strengthening

Back

Strength Augumentation Parameters

Front

pulse rate: 50 pps intensity: strong, tetanic contraction duty cycle: 10:50 internal duty cycle: 50% to increase patient comfort

Back

wound healing

Front

none

Back

English-Literature

Front

found force gains but gains were not greater than voluntary muscle contraction

Back

Muscle Re-education/atrophy prevention parameters

Front

intensity: tetany burst frequency: 50 pps internal duty cycle: 50% on time: 5-10 seconds off time: 20-50 seconds ramp: 2 seconds treatment time: 10 minutes patient duty: contract when stimulation is delivered optimal: 10/50/10

Back

co-contraction treatment option

Front

agonist/antagonist, quadripolar

Back

History of Russian Stimulation

Front

claimed 40% increased strength using 10/50/10 regiment

Back

precautions of russian

Front

electrode burns, skin irritation, muscle soreness

Back

patient position for quadriceps

Front

knee should be flexed to 60 degrees, peak torque is greater at 60 degree knee flexion

Back

Increased muscle fiber recruitment =

Front

leads to adaptations increasing fiber recruitment

Back

electrode placement

Front

motor points, proximal/distal on muscle, nerve root

Back

atrophy prevention & muscle re-education

Front

excel

Back

muscle spasm reduction

Front

poor

Back

How Russian works

Front

recruiting type II fibers electronically and type I fibers with voluntary contraction will increase force, coordination and athletic skill

Back

sensory edema reduction

Front

none

Back

pain modulation

Front

poor

Back

advantages of russian

Front

retard atrophy, muscle re-education, isometric strengthening

Back

Fast Oscillating AC current stimulates

Front

immediately after depolarization producing maximal contraction

Back

disadvantages of russian

Front

isometric contraction is not very functional, does not replicate normal muscle recruitment, the practicality of application during acute vs chronic stages of tx

Back

single channel treatment option

Front

two active, bipolar

Back

direct stimulation

Front

motor points & proximal/distal on muscle

Back

reciprocal treatment option

Front

two muscles, quadripolar

Back
