Effects of Ascending and Descending Direct Current on the Handgrip Strength

Application of direct current (Galvanic) in milliamperes current which varies according to the positioning of the electrodes. In the ascending stream direct current (Ascending effect) the proximal cathode and distal anode are placed, a excitatory effect on the nervous system being described in theory.

Application of direct current (Galvanic) in milliamperes current which varies according to the positioning of the electrodes. In the descending stream direct current (Descending effect) the proximal anode and distal cathode are placed, a sedative and analgesic effect on the nervous system being described in theory.
