Abstract
|
|
|
The following results were obtained, after experimenting on change of masseter muscle and bloodstream epithelium with Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator(TENS), among 16 male adults.
1. According to applying TENS, it was observed that bloodstream in muscle increases at 1.5, 3.0 ㎐.
2. According to applying TENS, it was observed that concentration of moving blood cells in muscle increase at 1.5, 3.0, 6.0 ㎐.
3. According to applying TENS, it was observed that velocity of bloodstream in muscle increases only at 1.5 ㎐
4. Through experiment, applying TENS at level of 6.0 and 10.0 ㎐, all bloodstream, concentration of moving blood cells, and velocity of bloodstream increasing rates were lower in muscle compared to of them in overlying epithelium; and especially increasing bloodstream and its velocity were most frequent at 6.0 ㎐, and bloodstream of 10.0 ㎐.
From the results above when a physical therapy of TENS is carried out the frequency of 1.5, 3.0 H is effective, and as the frequency increases it is disadvantageous to the muscle.
