Physical Therapy Wound Care Modalities in Patients With Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)

necrotic wound is irrigated with normal saline (0.9%) with an 8-12 pounds per square inch pressure (PSI) to provide a mechanical force to loosen necrotic tissue for wound healing

high volt pulsed current (HVPC) is most effective in wound healing while decreasing risk of adverse skin reactions or mild burns under the electrodes
