Abstract

The following results were obtained, after experimenting on change of masseter muscle and bloodstream epithelium with Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator(TENS), among 16 male adults. 1. According to applying TENS, it was observed that bloodstream in muscle increases at 1.5, 3.0 Hz. 2. According to applying TENS, it was observed that concentration of moving blood cells in muscle increase at 1.5, 3.0, 6.0 Hz. 3. According to applying TENS, it was observed that velocity of bloodstream in muscle increases only at 1.5 Hz 4. Through experiment, applying TENS at level of 6.0 and 10.0 Hz, all bloodstream, concentration of moving blood cells, and velocity of bloodstream increasing rates were lower in muscle compared to of them in overlying epithelium; and especially increasing bloodstream and its velocity were most frequent at 6.0 Hz, and bloodstream of 10.0 Hz. From the results above when a physical therapy of TENS is carried out the frequency of 1.5, 3.0 H is effective, and as the frequency increases it is disadvantageous to the muscle.

경희대학교 치의학전문대학원 학생 16명을 대상으로 경피신경자극치료기(TENS)의 기능별 주파수에 따른 교근과 피개상 피의 혈류변화에 관하여 관찰한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. TENS를 적용한 실험에서 근육에서의 혈류가 증가된 것은 1.5, 3.0 Hz에서 관찰되었다. 2. TENS를 적용한 실험에서 근육에서의 이동혈류의 농도가 증가된 것은 1.5, 3.0, 6.0 Hz에서 관찰되었다. 3. TENS를 적용한 실험에서 근육에서의 혈류 속도가 증가된 것은 1.5 Hz에서만 관찰되었다. 4. 6.0Hz와 10.0Hz의 TENS를 적용한 실험에서 혈류, 이동혈류의 농도, 혈구 속도의 증가율이 모두 상피에 비하여 근육에서 낮게 나타났으며, 특히 6.0Hz의 혈류와 혈구 속도, 10.0 Hz의 혈류에서 가장 빈번하였다. 이상의 실험결과로 TENS를 적용한 물리치료를 시행할 경우에는 1.5, 3.0 Hz의 주파수가 효율적이며, 주파수의 강도가 높아질수록 근육에 미치는 영향은 바람직하지 않을 것으로 생각된다.
