Some physiotherapeutists insist on the concept
of accommodation. Electric habituation seems to be an evil inherent in this mode of
stimulation. This accommodation is regarded as a reduction in effects of
treatment applied to patients. The experts implemented, a whole battery of
solutions to fight against this accommodation. We use amplitude modulation,
frequency modulation, changes of impulse width,
application in constant tension, application constant current.
The majority of these means push back the
appearance of accommodation. They do not manage to make it disappear. It is
interesting, to note, that no study was undertaken to understand
accommodation.
Electric accommodation can have several reasons :
- This reduction is related to methods of
application of treatment.
- This reduction is related to variations of
impedance of the treated zone.
- This reduction is related to application of
an inadequate current.
- The reason of the reduction in the effects, is
not known.
- The phenomenon is complex and it is an
association of the above mentioned reasons.
