Introduction[edit | edit source]
Faradic-type current is a short duration interrupted direct current with a pulse duration ranging from 0.1 to 1 ms with frequency of 50 to 100 Hz. Faradic current are surged to produce tetanic contraction and relaxation of muscle. treatment with faradic current usually called faradism.[1]
Practical Gudlines[edit | edit source]
Indication[edit | edit source]
- facilitation of muscle contraction when inhibited by Pain
- Muscle re-education:muscle contraction is needed to restore the sense of movement.In cases of flat foot or in muscle transplantation.the brain appreciate movement not muscle actions so crrent should be applied to restore normal movement.
- training of new muscle action
- Improved venous and lymphatic drainage as edema and gravitational ulcer by pumping action of muscle contraction and relaxation.
- Prevention and loosening of adhesion
- Painful knee syndrome.
Contraindication[edit | edit source]
- certain dermatological condition as psoriasis,tinea and eczema.
- Infection
- Inflamation
- Thrombosis
- Loss of sensation
- Cancer
- Cardiac pacemakers
