Direct Current
Modality Information
Direct Current is electrical current that flows in one direction. Direct Current has been clinically used for: 1) Performing
strength duration curve tests and 2) Stimulating denervated muscle following peripheral nerve injury.
Direct Current Probe Therapy
The Dynatron Solaris Plus Direct Current treatment setup uses the optional MULTISTIM PROBE with the STIM PROBE
JACK as its dedicated channel. The treatment is normally delivered with a paddle adapter accompanied by a large dispersive
electrode or ground probe acting to complete the circuit. Note: Electrodes and Probe must be in contact with the patient
prior to beginning therapy.
Direct Current Waveforms
The Direct Current wave form is a square wave
with adjustable duration times. Duration will
default to 100 mSec, but may be set from 0.1
mSec to 500 mSec. Duration selections available
are 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1, 10, 100, 500 with an interpulse
duration of 500 mSec. The variable Pulse Duration
is interrupted with an interpulse duration of 500
mSec. Note: Load impedance does not affect
output of the waveform.
