Simultaneous Therapy

5 Simultaneous Therapy
Simultaneous therapy means the treatment with ultrasound and stimulation current
at the same time. That means that the effects of both forms of therapy can be util-
ized. The ultrasonic transducer forms one pole of the stimulation current circuit, a
plate electrode the second one.

stimulation current device may only be connected with a specially coded connector.
Warning The safety precautions for the individual therapies also apply for the
simultaneous therapy!
Note During simultaneous therapy, the
ers of both therapy devices.
In order to guarantee optimal contact for the stimulation current as well as the ul-
trasonic treatment, it is essential to use an electrically conductive ultrasound gel. The
standard polarity of the ultrasonic transducer is negative (cathode). The positive pole
(standard polarity positive: anode) is formed by the so-called neutral electrode. Plate
or vacuum electrodes can be used as neutral electrodes. Minimum size for the plate
electrode is EF50, for vacuum electrodes size 2. Additional peculiarities are described
in the list of accessories of your stimulation current device.
Warning Move the ultrasonic transducer constantly on the patient's skin (dy-
namic treatment)! Make sure that the transducer never remains at the
same spot for a longer period (static treatment), otherwise tissue dam-
age of thermal and mechanical nature cannot be excluded!
Regularly check transducers and resonators for overheating!
If the ultrasonic transducer is removed from the patient's skin during

treatment, the stimulation current is automatically reduced to 0 to
make sure the two treatments ultrasound and stimulation current are
always applied simultaneously. As soon as the ultrasonic transducer
touches the skin again, the stimulation current is built up again.
