Electro diagnosis, Electrical Stimulation & Electrotherapy
Electro diagnosis engage electrophysiology to study human neurophysiology using electrical technology. It serves purposes such as lesion detection, disease progression assessment, prognosis determination, distinguishing neuropathy from myopathy, and treatment evaluation. Electro diagnostic testing, encompassing nerve conduction studies and electromyography, is crucial for suspected myopathy diagnosis.
Electrical stimulation, a physical therapy method, aids muscle strengthening, pain signal inhibition, and blood circulation enhancement. It treats inflammation, muscle weakness, and discomfort in physical therapy.
Electrotherapy, used by physiotherapists, administers controlled electric currents for conditions like muscle pain and arthritis. Focused stimulation treats chronic pain, muscle wasting, injuries, and nerve pain, often when drugs are ineffective. Its effectiveness depends on the patient's condition and needs.
