  • Page 33 eleCTroTheraPy InforMaTIon and usage CauTIons 4. Some patients tend to be much more sensitive to electrotherapy treatments. On patients with this tendency, treat with reduced intensity and/or shorter treatment times with possibly more frequent treatments, if required. Most reactions are localized and very short-lived, so limiting the exposure should minimize any potential for adverse reactions.
  • Page 34: Interferential / Premodulated Instructions

    InTerferenTIal / PreModulaTed InsTruCTIons Interferential / Premodulated Instructions An Interferential treatment uses two channels and four electrodes (channel pairs 1-2 or 3-4). The device will automatically select the first available channel pair when you select IFC. A Premodulated treatment uses one channel and two electrodes. The device will automatically select the first available channel (1, 2, 3, or 4) when PREMOD is selected.
  • Page 35: Detailed Interferential / Premodulated Setup

    InTerferenTIal / PreModulaTed InsTruCTIons NOTE: Prior to increasing intensity, electrodes must be placed on the patient and the lead(s) attached to the device. Plug the lead(s) into the channel(s) the device selects for this treatment. Consult published sources for electrode placements, treatment settings, and treatment times.
  • Page 36 InTerferenTIal / PreModulaTed InsTruCTIons NOTE: Make any desired changes to the treatment time before selecting Consecutive. Treatment time changes made after selecting Consecutive will cause the treatment to revert to an ALTERNATING HIGH/LOW treatment. • FIXED. A FIXED treatment automatically defaults to a STATIC setting.

  • Page 39: Interferential And Premodulated Modality Information

    InTerferenTIal and PreModulaTed ModalITy InforMaTIon Interferential and Premodulated Modality Information Interferential (Quadpolar) Therapy Interferential therapy uses four electrodes to deliver two currents, one current with a constant frequency of 4000 Hz and the other current with a variable frequency of 4000 to 4150 Hz. The paths of these two currents cross resulting in a “beat” that produces the therapeutic frequency at the treatment site.

    InTerferenTIal and PreModulaTed ModalITy InforMaTIon Target Sweep The Sweep option literally moves the point of interference inward and outward in a somewhat spiral pattern, bathing about 80 percent of the area within the electrodes with the Interferential current. Sweep utilizes the Target feature and moves the point of interference to cover a wider treatment area while still retaining the full Interferential beat.

The Dynatron Solaris® Plus 705, 706, and 707 do not offer the Ultrasound feature. Ultrasound, by its very nature, has the ability to irritate the patient’s skin. While the benefits of Ultrasound far outweigh any disadvantages, certain precautions should be observed to assure maximum safety and comfort for your patients.
  • Page 87: Penetration Of Ultrasound Waves

    ulTrasound ModalITy InforMaTIon The selection of the appropriate soundhead is key to the success of the treatment and is based on the size of the area to be treated. Ultrasound treatments should be kept specific to the tissue involved in pathology. A good guideline is 2 to 4 times the size of the soundhead.
  • Page 88: Types Of Delivery

    ulTrasound ModalITy InforMaTIon Types of Delivery Ultrasound can be delivered in four different ways. You will likely only see two of the four methods in clinical practice. 1. Direct Contact Movable. Here the soundhead is placed in direct contact with the patient. A coupling agent is used between soundhead and the patient’s skin.

    ulTrasound ModalITy InforMaTIon 4. Use a little lower intensity for the first treatment to gauge response. 5. Patient feedback is key. A treatment should feel warm, but the patient should never feel heat, pain, stabbing, pricking or dull ache. Acute Conditions: ........0.1 – 0.5 W/cm (no appreciable thermal effect).
