New cards

what does diathermy do

provide deep heat to larger area of tissue

2
New cards

inductance

  • electrical current used to produce a magnetic field

  • produce secondary eddy currents

  • heats metals and tissue with high water content

3
New cards

capacitance

  • electrical current generated between two plates

  • skin and fat more likely to heat

4
New cards

rebound setting

continuous with low power

5
New cards

autotherm setting

pulsed with higher power
