exercise
exercises designed with the objective of strengthening the musculature: flexor and extensor of the knee; extensor, abductor, lateral rotator of the hip.
interferential current
The basic principle of Interferential Therapy (IFT) is to utilise the significant physiological effects of low frequency (\<250pps) electrical stimulation of nerves without the associated painful and somewhat unpleasant side effects sometimes associated with low frequency stimulation
short-wave diathermy
Is a modality that produces deep heating via conversion of electromagnetic energy to thermal energy
Low level laser therapy
Laser treatment in which the energy output is low enough so that the temperature of the treated tissue does not rise above 98.6°F (36.5° C) or normal body temperature.
Ultrasound therapy
Ultrasound (US) is a form of mechanical energy, not electrical energy and therefore strictly speaking, not really electrotherapy at all but does fall into the Electro Physical Agents grouping.
