Keywords:
Electrotherapy, types of currents, zoster of treatment.Abstract
The different currents which were applied and the zosters of were revised, depending on the diagnostic given by the doctor in charge of her rehabilitation. This was done in a group of 196 pa¬
ients during March, April and May in 1997.
Several details were collected from the treatment cards as: age, sex, zoster of treatment and the current applied in each case.
An exhasustive stadistic tresearch has shown the following results:
1. The zoster nost treated was the cervical one (29,7 %) including in this percentage the cervi-co-dorsal (2,6 %) and the cervical-shoulder (0,5 %) zosters.
The currents most used were the interferencial ones (46,9 %).
The famele sex was the most treated (74 %). Due to this study, it has been confirmed that amongst, this group of patients which were assig¬
ed electrotherapy treatment is the woman who came more frecuently to the external consultation.
Most of the time, the main reason for the consultation is any cervival problem with rheumatic ori¬
in (cervicoarthrosis: 10,7 %).
