Micro Controlled Based Combination Interferential Therapy 125 Program +US+MS+TENS
IFT+US+MS+TENS COMBO
Though interference currents are classed as low frequency on the basis of their Therapeutic effective components, they have specic characteristic properties, which distinguish them from any other therapeutic low frequency current. These currents are used for the treatment of various muscular diseases and pains by passing them inside the body by means of electrodes. High frequency current waves acting on the tissues give relief from pain.
In General
Important frequencies in electro therapy are between 0 and 250 Hz. In interference therapy these frequencies are generated in the tissue by the superposition of two currents. Due to high frequency of the current intensities are used. Thus areas deep in the body can be stimulated.
Working Principles
In the Interferential Therapy, we make use of two medium frequency alternatively currents. These medium frequency currents are not identical and may differ in frequency up to 150 Hz. Two oscillator of medium frequency are generated and are cross wisely applied to the body by means of four electrode pads. {(CH1) & (CH2)} Each channel with on pair of pads i.e. two No. of pads. One oscillator has a fixed frequency of 4000 Hz the other one can be ranged in the freq. between 3850 Hz.
Both oscillator interfere i.e. intersect inside the body resulting in a modulated signal as a carrier and low frequency part (The difference in frequency) for the actual therapy. In simple words, we can define the interferential therapy as when two medium frequency currents, i.e. CH1 & CH2 intersects with each other, leading interference currents to be generated at the place.
For example, let us take two medium frequency current,
Current in CH1=4000 Hz. & in CH2=3850 Hz
These two currents are applied to any part of the body (or a tissue) at the points where the current cross each other. The new Beat frequency current set up is amplified which is been modulated i.e. AMF Amplified modulated medium frequency) and the frequencies of the new current is called Interferential current which is 150 Hz) by varying the constant frequency of the first it is possible to producer a range of beat frequencies deep in the patients tissue. Thus it is possible to create any desired frequency rate in the carrier currents.
WHAT IS TENS
TENS is short for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. The T.E.N.S generates electrical impulses that are sent through electrodes placed over nerve centers. The various pulses employed by TENS can block pain signals normally sent to the brain through nerve bers, thereby interrupting the brain’s awareness of pain. The TENS may activate the release of endorphins. These are chemicals in the control system by the body to suppress pain naturally. It is no longer necessary for many people to endure chronic or constant pain. The use of TENS usually improves pain management signicantly. TENS is safe, non-invasive, drug free, non addictive and has no side effects. The TENS can reduce the need for pain narcotics and drugs. Federal law restricts these devices to sale by or on the order of a physician. TENS is a FDA regulated non-narcotic pain relief device.
HOW DOES TENS WORK
TENS work by two different methods. High frequency TENS, is based on the theory that continuous mild electrical activity blocks the pain signal travelling to the brain. If the pain signal does not get through to the brain, the pain is not “felt”. The second way TENS work is by stimulating the body’s own natural pain control mechanism. Low frequency or short bursts of electrical activity causes the body to release its own pain relieving substance, called endorphins.
HOW THE TENS PAIN CONTROL UNITS WORK
Pain’s is the body’s warning system. It is a way of letting an individual knows that something is wrong. TENS is a safe non-invasive drug free method of pain management. It relieves pain by sending small electrical impulses through electrodes placed on the skin to underlying nerve bers. TENS is believed to work by two different mechanisms. First, electrical stimulation of the nerve bers can block a pain signal from being carried to the brain. If the signal is blocked, pain is not perceived. Secondly, the body has its own mechanism for suppressing pain. It does this by releasing natural chemicals called endorphins in the brain which act as analgesics. TENS may activate this mechanism. By effectively managing pain without drug, TENS allows many people with chronic pain conditions to resume
daily activity. You cannot strain or sprain your muscles by overworking them with your electronic muscle stimulator system because the feeling is more like a pleasant tingling sensation than a shock or jolt.

ULTRASONIC
This is an advance therapeutic Ultrasonic Therapy device produce sound waves of 1 MHz frequency used to stimulating the tissue beneath the skin’s surfaces, the high frequency massage (stimulation effect) penetrates up to 5″ below the skin surface and the effect like micro massage affects very small molecules and membrane cells of tissue in the body and actually causes them to move one place to another and vibrate them at their own place and get them heat up. The continuous high frequency penetration into the cells and molecules results the thermal damages therefore the method of intermitted cycle penetration energy in the better way relief the pain. It is way of frequency modulation in the pattern of high frequency or low frequency. It comes in penetration ON and penetration OFF.
The unit is absolutely compact lightweight device, designed with micro-controller based electronic solid state technique and assembled in powder coated metal chassis, very variable and convenient for clinical use, comfortable for visiting consultants, long running use and personal as well as professional purpose.
Insure, before to use this high frequency generator for the treatment to the patient, the condition and disease for which the treatment is being after to the particular area of the patient should be properly diagnosed b;y an expert therapist, the treatment may be given.

MONO FREQUENCY OPERATION
This unit has a 1 MHz frequency generator with transducer head for deep penetration into the tissue and healing the lesion muscle approx 5″ area from the surface where applied the high frequency energy and the intensity can be applied as the required area and treated by approx 2.5″ dia meter transducer lead.
CONTINUOUS AND PULSE MODE APPLICATION
A continuous transmission of frequency and carried power energy produced into the tissue, efciently absorbed by portion are connected heat, accelerate the heating and extensively increase the collagen, thus the stretching in stiffness is easier. A thermal effect (Pulse Mode) energy generation is adopted to avoid the tissue from the complications due to the thermal effects or ultrasound producing into the tissue at all. Cavitations behavior can lead to the formation of highly reactive free radicals although free radicals are produced by cells naturally which are removed by free radicals scavengers, excess production of natural free radicals scavenger system could however be damaging and decrease of intensity cause cavitations use of continuous some time damage the tissue cells due to the excessive energy constantly produced into the tissue and use of pulse wave forms of ultrasound increase the collagen synthesis 30% against the 20% of continuous wave form with the same power ratio.
Biological effect related cavitations and micro mass age cells degramulations change on cells membranes functions, increase the level of intracellular calcium, broblast activity stimulation resulting increased protein synthesis, neoangiogensis collagens elastic tension with those effects more pronounced with pulse ultrasound.
INTENSITY
The power energy produced, unit of power intensity is w/cm2 to 3.5w/cm2 and the diameter area of the transducer is playing signicant role for the intensity transmission to the area to be applied for treatment similarly when applied in pulse mode, different pulse modulations are provided and the power intensity reduced in similar ratio.
