Electrotherapy Crossword

The flow of charged particles
locations on the skin where electrical stimulation most effectively causes specific muscles to contract.
Type of waveform: continuous stream of charged particles; unidirectional.
Type of waveform: continuous, sinusoidal, bidirectional flow of charged particles.
Type of waveform: interrupted flow of charged particles.
AC uses 3 forms of currents: Interferential, premodulated, and what?
Alternating current uses _______ frequency.
What is the most commonly used waveform in electrotherapy? (flow back and forth during a pulse)
Type of AC: produced by interference of two medium frequency ACs with slightly different frequencies.
Type of AC: produced with a single circuit and two electrodes.
AC and PC are described based on their duration and ________?
the period of time phase remains above or below the baseline = ________ duration
the period of time a pulse remains above or below the baseline = ________ duration
the period of time between pulsed during which there is NO current flow
_____ time = the time during which a train of pulses occur (muscle contracts)
_____ time = time between trains of pulses with no current (muscle relaxes)
For _______ stimulation: one electrode should be placed on the motor point for the muscle, the other electrode should be placed elsewhere on the muscle so that the current flows parallel to the muscle fibers
For _______ stimulation: place the electrodes so as to surround the area to be stimulated.
For ________ current flow, apply electrodes further apart.
For ____________ current flow, apply electrodes closer together.
