In an environment where we are all striving towards more evidence-based
practice in an effort to provide the most effective and efficient patient
care and expand our professional knowledge base, the lack of evidence
presently in existence can make this quite a challenge.
We have frequently found that using US simulteneously with high-volt e-stim.
provides the patient with significant subjective reduction in pain and an
observable increase in ROM. This modality is typically used if the patient
cannot tolerate manual techniques due to e.g. significant pain associated
with muscle spasm.
Do you know of any research that has been done/published on this modality?
