Electrotherapy : Electrokinetics and Cryokinetics
Electrotherapy is the use of electrical energy as a form of medical treatment to reduce pain andinflammation, increase circulation, muscle reeducation, tissue repair and healing. Various form of electrotherapy is Microcurrent, interferential therapy, ultrasound, LASER, electrical muscle stimulation, TEN.
Electrokinetics: Electrokinetics is a treatment form where electro-therapeutic modalities like IFT & Electrical Muscle Stimulators are used along with active exercise to reeducate muscles, increase muscle strength , improve blood circulation, relaxation of muscle spasm, preventing disuse atrophy and muscle wasting and increase range of motion of joints.
Cryokinetcs: Cryokinetics is a rehabilitation technique which involves application of ice followed by active exercise. Applying ice to a certain body part creates numbness in the area which is followed by active rehabilitation exercise till the numbness last thereby restoring range of motion and increase muscle strength.
