00:00:00

hey everybody it's doctor Jo, and today we're going to talk about neuromuscular

00:00:03

stimulators and the folks at shophysio sent me their Neurodyn II byIbramed.

00:00:07

so let's get started.

00:00:14

so what I really like about the Neurodyn II neuromuscular stimulator is it has three different

00:00:19

settings to it. it's got the traditional TENS which is for pain relief. it has a

00:00:23

Russian current which is really getting that muscle contraction for muscle

00:00:28

retraining and help getting that strength back, and then also has an FES

00:00:32

which is the functional electrical stimulation which really helps that

00:00:36

muscle functionally. so like let's say maybe you have foot drop and you're

00:00:40

really trying to get that dorsiflexion. you can use the FES or the functional

00:00:44

electrical stimulation to help pull it up while you're walking, or it simulates

00:00:49

help pulling it up while you're walking. so it's really cool that it has these

00:00:53

three different settings it also has four different channels that you can use.

00:00:57

and you can use them independently which is really cool because this is a

00:01:01

professional unit, and so when you're in the clinic maybe more than one person

00:01:05

wants to use it, so since the channels are used independently that's a really

00:01:08

great component to have when you're in a clinic. so again with this being a

00:01:12

professional unit, you still might want to watch this video because you want to

00:01:16

learn about the functions that it uses. so if it's something that you think will

00:01:20

help you, you can go ask your therapist or your healthcare professional and see

00:01:25

if it's right for you. and so I really like these professional units because

00:01:30

sometimes the handheld units are great that you can get for home use, but if you

00:01:34

really want to get that strong muscle contraction where you're retraining, and

00:01:38

you have somebody that's a professional healthcare provider helping you do that,

00:01:41

these really help get that strong current in there to help you going. so

00:01:46

the Russian Current is really one of my favorites. it's no fun at all. I mean you

00:01:50

want maximum contraction where it's almost unbearable, but it really helps

00:01:55

retrain that muscle. and so what I like about this specific unit is it's really

00:02:00

user friendly. it's easy to use if you're in the clinic, you don't want to have to

00:02:04

sit there and set up a whole bunch of different things. so it's got where you

00:02:08

can program some protocols in there for yourself. so let's

00:02:12

say I want to be able to activate that anterior tibialis that I use the same

00:02:18

settings every time. you can plug that in once into your user program, and then

00:02:22

it's there for you every time. so it just makes it more efficient in the clinic

00:02:25

where you don't have to set stuff up every single time. but if you want to

00:02:28

since everybody's a little bit different, you can do that each time as well. so

00:02:32

what I want to do is just show you a little bit about each one and the

00:02:36

parameters you can use with them because some of them do have different

00:02:39

wavelengths again the Russian current versus the functional electrical

00:02:43

stimulation. when you're doing the FES, you really want just enough current to

00:02:48

be able to accomplish what you're trying to do. or like let's say it's on my wrist

00:02:52

extensors I'm trying to do this because my muscles are really weak and I just

00:02:55

can't lift it up. I don't want it to be so strong where it's just hurting and

00:02:59

uncomfortable, it's coming up and just making that muscle contract so much, I'd

00:03:03

use that functional electrical stimulation where it's just enough to

00:03:07

get it up, and I can practice that movement while it's coming up versus if

00:03:11

I really didn't have much at all and I really did just want to strengthen that

00:03:14

muscle I'd used that Russian current where I'm really trying to get a strong

00:03:17

contraction. a lot of times it's really great on your quad after a knee surgery

00:03:21

because like a total knee replacement or something like an ACL reconstruction,

00:03:27

sometimes your quad just goes I'm not doing anything anymore, and that Russian

00:03:31

current is a great way to help get that muscle contracting. and so you have a

00:03:35

better recovery in the long run. so let me put everything together and show you

00:03:38

how it works. so as you can see here, what's really cool about the unit is

00:03:44

with the different channels the four different channels there's four

00:03:47

different colors. and so again this is for clinical use for professional use,

00:03:52

and if you've ever been in the clinic and you're sharing a unit with somebody,

00:03:55

you know that having it color coded makes it super easy because if someone's

00:03:59

using channel one they'll know what color it is. if someone wants to use

00:04:02

channel three they know what color it is. and that really does make a pretty big

00:04:05

difference. so I'm going to go ahead and turn it on and so when it first comes on

00:04:08

the Ibramed logo shows up and then it says

00:04:11

Neurodyn II. and so when you set up your parameters, it has all the ways to set it

00:04:16

up here. I'm not going to go into too much detail about the different

00:04:19

parameters because since this is for professional use, the clinician

00:04:23

should know which one works best for them. which one works best for their

00:04:27

patients, depending on what the injury is and everything like that. but I'll

00:04:30

briefly kind of go over the different selections that you can pick in the

00:04:35

modes and things like that. so the first thing is just the current that you want.

00:04:39

so you can use your TENS, you can use your FES, or you can use your Russian

00:04:44

current. and then so again you can see that there's not a whole lot of buttons

00:04:48

that you have to press. so it makes it super easy where you're just doing the

00:04:51

select up and down, and then you're doing the set picking the ones once you select

00:04:55

it. so you can then do your timer which it goes from 1 to 60 minutes, and so

00:05:00

that's nice usually in most of the electrical stimulation settings I would

00:05:06

say 15 minutes at the most. if you're doing like a Russian current, probably

00:05:10

just 10 minutes because you're contracting that muscle so much you

00:05:13

probably don't want anything longer than that. if you're doing a TENS you might

00:05:16

want it a little bit longer, but again in the clinical setting you know this is

00:05:19

just a part of the therapy that's not the whole therapy so maybe 15 to 20

00:05:23

minutes at the most but it does have the option to go higher if you want to. it

00:05:27

also has the manual stimulation so you can this was where if you want channel 1

00:05:35

maybe for like a TENS, and the channel 2 for the TENS so you're crossing it,

00:05:40

you can independently increase the intensity between the two which is nice

00:05:44

because if I am just putting my unit here and here the channels, I might want

00:05:50

the one on the inside a little bit stronger this way versus that way so

00:05:54

it's just nice to be able to use them kind of independently. and then you've

00:05:58

also got for if you're using like the russian current you can ramp up and ramp

00:06:03

down. it has the settings for that which is nice because if you've ever had it on

00:06:07

you, and I've had it on me before, you want a little bit of a ramp up so you

00:06:11

know when it's starting to happen because you want that contraction to be

00:06:14

strong. you want, I always tell my patients tell me when it's high enough

00:06:18

where you can't tolerate it anymore, and then usually go up about one or two,

00:06:22

which is mean, but usually you you know you want that strong contraction, but you

00:06:26

want that ramp up so they know it's coming so it doesn't just come on nice

00:06:29

and strong and then you can do the same ramping it down as well.

00:06:33

so that's a nice component of those two and then you can just set all these

00:06:38

parameters depending on if you're doing the tens,

00:06:42

the Russian current, or the FES .and then with the tens you can also do if you

00:06:48

want a just a normal conventional which is the the ramping nice and slow up down,

00:06:53

or you can do the burst cycle which it changes it up a little bit so your body

00:06:57

doesn't adjust to the current and kind of adapt to it. so all those settings are

00:07:01

really nice and again they change depending on what you're using it for,

00:07:05

the patient you're using it for, the type of injury and things like that. so make

00:07:09

sure you do your research and find out the best parameters for what you're

00:07:13

going to use. so I'm really quickly just going to show you kind of on my wrist

00:07:18

extensors so you can see it .so I'm just going to use one channel for that and

00:07:22

I'm going to use actually the functional setting because what's nice about that

00:07:28

is, it's going to be just enough where it's going to pull it up, but not so much

00:07:35

where I can't tolerate it. and so that's what I think it's probably going to be

00:07:40

the best one. so I'm just going to do FES there, and channel one.

00:07:44

so with these they've got the little pigtail attachment so you just kind of

00:07:49

snap it in make sure they're all the way in there and then you can kind of go

00:07:55

maybe down here and then up here. so you're really wanting to get kind of up

00:08:01

top and then in that belly areas this might even be a little bit too low. I

00:08:05

really want on the the belly of the muscles right here and here to help get

00:08:10

that contraction while going. so once you have the pads place, you're gonna go

00:08:14

ahead and then hit the start, and then for channel one which is so on I'm just

00:08:20

gonna slowly start taking it up I can feel just a little bit of tingling now.

00:08:25

so I usually tell my patients you know I'm gonna go fast until you start

00:08:30

feeling it, and then once it starts getting to

00:08:32

where you're like, yeah I feel it, then I'm gonna start going slower until we

00:08:37

can get that contraction. once I start feeling that pull, I'm gonna just gonna

00:08:42

pull up with it. so as it comes up, I'm gonna try and pull up with it and then

00:08:49

when it lets go I'm gonna drop back down as well. and so that's really with

00:08:53

functional electrical stimulation all you're doing. you're trying to

00:08:57

functionally move the muscle as well. and so sometimes depending on what current

00:09:02

you're using, you might have to move the pads around a little bit and that's fine.

00:09:05

the clinician should be able to, you know, do that and show you how to do it as

00:09:09

needed. so if you're interested in purchasing the Neurodyn II or any of the

Description:

Electrical stimulation with a professional neuromuscular stimulator like the Neurodyn II can help: decrease pain, re-educate muscles, prevent atrophy after a surgery, & increase blood flow/circulation. Use code DOCTORJO12 to get 12% OFF a Neurodyn II here: https://shophysio.com/products/neurodyn-ii-04-channels (sponsored) The folks at Shophysio sent me their Neurodyn II by Ibramed. This unit is a great professional unit because it comes with Russian current, functional electrical stimulation (FES), and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). It has 4 independent color coded channels so you can use it on more than one patient at a time. FES is a form of ES that helps with functional activity. The current should just be high enough to make the movement so it will help with the function of the muscle. TENS is for pain relief for acute and chronic pain. It has conventional (normal) and burst modulation. Russian current is used for muscle retraining and helping prevent muscle atrophy after an injury or surgery. You want to get a maximum contraction with this current.
