Introduction[edit | edit source]
Diadynamic therapy is an another example for low frequency current rarely used in UK but in mainland Europe has stronger following. it is monophasic sinusoidal current was developed in the 1950's,by Bernard (a French Dentist). so it is called also Bernard current.The frequency is operating at 50 Hz with pulse duration 10 msec.
There are four different current available for Didynamic current.[1][2][3]
- Monophase fixe.(MF)
- Diphase fixe.(DF)
- Courtes periodes.(CP)
- Longues periodes.(LP)
Types of Diadynamic current[edit | edit source]
| wave | Physiological Effect | Indication | Feeling | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DF | Full wave alternating current | Has strong analgesic effect for short duration | Pain with muscle spasm | Itching or prickling sensation |
| MF | Half wave alternating current | Stimulate muscle contraction | Pain without muscle spasm | Strong vibration sensation |
| CP | Equal phase of DF and MF are alternating without interval pauses | Stimulate circulation and reduce pain | Traumatic pain | Rapid alternating feeling between DF and MF |
| LP | 10 sec MF followed by 5 sec DF in which intensity and frequency rise then fall | long lasting analgesic effect | Myalgesia\Neuralgia | Strong vibration to little pricking |
