GALVANIC CURRENT •It is a direct current. •Unidirectional. • It is very painful to patients beacuse it is unidirectional •To overcome this regular pause can be given b/w stimulation. • Interrupted galvanic current ( IGC). • Constant direct current is used for iontophoresis. • IGC is used for denervated muscle stimulation.
USES/ INDICATION. 1)Contact direct current are used for iontophoresis 2) modified direct current are used to stimulate denervated muscles. 3) maintain the properties of muscles. 4)Retard the denervation atrophy. 5) prevent venous and lymphatic drainage. 6) Improves local circulation.
DANGERS. • Hypovolemic shock. •Burns. • Electric shock. • Erythema.
DURATION. * Pulse duration= 100m/s to 300,600 used for ( IDC) *Frequency= 30 Hz. Pulse length = 0.03ms to 300 m/s.
• PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECT Effect on muscles. Effect on sensory nerve. Effect on motor nerve.
CONTRAINDICATION. • Heart diseases. • Cancer. • During pregnancy. • Lack of skin sensitivity. • Metal implants. •Current should not pass through eyeball. •Unconscious patient. • Child with mental disturbance. •skin infection. • Hemorrhagic condition.
DESINCRUSATION. Deep cleanses the skin. Stimulates nerve ending. Has a softning and drying effect. Stimulates secretion of the skin. Relaxes the pores making extraction easier.
