Given the dimensions of the surface that can be treated, in spite of it being
insulated electrodes an ionic displacement current is generated capable of
creating a situation similar to that of the resistive operating mode.
In other words, as we've indicated before, in this case it also important to carefully
position the two electrodes in order to get the most out of the directionality of the
impulses created inside the organism.
The fundamental difference of the direct coupling consists in the careful evaluation
of the tissues located between the two electrodes: if the distance between them is
relevant and the tissues in between are mostly resistive, the electric field will
encounter obstacles that can interfere with the results. In that case it will be
necessary to reduce the distance between the active and passive electrode of the
same channel.
Let's retake once more the example of the lumbosciatic syndrome L-5 S-1. If the
patient is overweight, the active plate has to be placed on the lumbosacral area
and the passive one along the nerve, for instance on the rear part of the thigh. If
the patient has a normal weight and even has a certain muscle tone (liquid rich
tissue), we can proceed in a way similar to direct coupling, placing the active plate
on the lumbosacral area and the passive plate against the foot sole.
The level of power applied should be assessed in function of the pathology that is
being treated and whether or not an increase of the internal temperature needs to
be obtained. The protocol will indicate the most appropriate parameters.
SUMMARY
1) Double working mode with operator
a. Capacitive mode
b. Direct coupling (resistive) mode
2) Operator free working mode (automatic)
a. Capacitive automatic plate with passive return plate.
3) Very versatile thanks to the fact that each channel can work autonomously and can
be used in all the treatment modes previously described.
