Diadynamic Current
Types
There are five classic Diadynamic Current types:
Diphasé Fixe ( DF )
• It is used for the initial treatment and before
application of other currents. The patient feels a
prickling sensation, which subsides after a short time.
Monophasé Fixe ( MF )
•
The patient feels a strong vibration for longer time
than the sensation of DF.
Courtes Periodés ( CP )
• In DF phase, there are fine tremors
and in MF phase strong and constant
vibration.
Longues Periodés ( LP )
Rhythmic Syncopal ( RS )

• Decrease Inflammation and
swelling
Electrochemical Effect
• Diadynamic current has relative high DC
amplitude, so that there is a significant chance of
skin damage occurrence.
•
• Skin damage is due to electrochemical changes
and changes in the pH value of the skin.
•
• To keep the risk of skin damage to minimum,
treatment time should be limited to ten minutes.
