PMEFT
Neurological
Increases vasodilation
200 Constant
10- 15 minutes
Stimulates pain transmitters
Increase growth of neurons
Aid in re-establishing cellular currents
re-initiates firing down nerves
Pain relief
Acute
200Hz Constant
10- 15 minutes
Chronic
200Hz 5
10- 15 minutes
decreases nerve cell potential
from -70w to -90w
disrupts brains ability to transmit pain
when pain signal detected, cell voltage too low to trigger release of chemical transmitters
Therefore blocking pain signal
Vasodilation
Soft tissue swelling/ bruising (after 72 hours)
50Hz 17.5
NO causes dilation of capillary sphincter
Vasodilation
Increases blood flow
Improved flow of nutrients and waste in and out of cell
assists in re-establishing cell membrane
Upregulation of NO
reduces inflammatory gene expression in immune cells
reducing cell death
Encourages movement of electrons
Via movement of ions towards electrodes
Effects cell physiology
In and out of cell
Negative ions
Positive pole
Positive ions
Negative pole
Release of calcium ions
Positively Charged
Increases binding of calcium with calmodulin :
Cell then changes shape slightly
Allows an inactive protein to bind
Becomes a calcium/ calmodulin dependent protein kinase
an active protein
will have a cellular function
increase outcome effect
5 more items...
calmodulin negatively charged
Short bursts of NO produced
NO binds to other substances
causing
upregulation of endogenous anti-inflammatory responses
enhanced tissue repair
Vasodilation
Vasoconstriction
Soft tissue swelling/ bruising (first 72 hours)
50Hz 5
10- 15 minutes
Damage of cell membrane allows escape of intracellular fluid
Disrupts ion balance
Electron movement
Constriction of capillary sphincter
Increases rate of healing
Bone Healing
50Hz Constant
20 minutes
3x daily until callous is established
2x daily until mobilised
1x daily until healed
Can use 50 17.5 first for vasodilation
Induces small current in bone
Attracts osteoblasts in area
Initiates deposition of bone
Mimics initial phase of fracture repair
Encourages ossification
Enhance bone marrow production
Encourages vascular invasion
increase structural integrity of bone
altering homeostatic balance of signalling cytokines
Electromagnet
Generation of a low level electromagnetic field
optimises body's ability to repair, and re-establish normal current/ cellular voltage
Damaged Cell Membrane
Allows escape of extracellular fluid
Membrane closes quickly
Ion balance is disrupted
Cell death
