Interventions

LASER CO2procedure

The therapy is performed with the patient sitting, place the unit high above the shoulder with the following indicators: through a pulsed 40 Hz, distance between device and patient 60 cm, 10x15 cm area of application, power 2W; energy between 10 and 15 J/cm2

TENSprocedure

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Application of Stimulation occurs through the use of No. 3 channels (long head of biceps area (CLB), the supraspinatus muscle area, the area medial border of the scapula. Duration: Twenty (20) minutes, mpulsi: 70 microsec, frequency: 100 Hz, intensity: between 20 and 40 mA.
