Other Traditional Physiotherapy Modalities
1. EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation): This device generates electrical impulses, delivered through terminals (i.e. electrodes) placed on the skin in direct proximity to the muscles to be stimulated, triggering a muscle contraction, causing the muscle to become tired and then to relax. EMS uses are regulated in the USA by the FDA; they are also used as complementary technique for sport training.
2. Ultrasound: This device is particularly useful for delineating the interfaces between solid and fluid-filled spaces; these deep-heat soundwaves aim multiple ultrasonic beams in such a way that the waves are in phase at one precise location.
