•     Gradually insert the thermometer into the ear canal. By placing the temperature receiver in the ear canal.
•     Press the thermometer button and read the value
•     The measurement should be repeated At least once or twice And find the average temperature.

Reading the fever measurement results
The normal temperature of healthy adults is between 36.5-37.2 degrees Celsius, but on average is about 37 degrees Celsius, which during the day may change the body temperature slightly due to many factors, such as during menstruation. May cause body temperature to rise In the morning, the body temperature can be lower than the afternoon. Children older than 6 months may have 1-2 ° C different normal temperatures.

The body temperature normal threshold is divided according to the method of measuring fever:

•       Normal temperature through the ear 35.8-38.0 degrees Celsius

How to electrical stimulation Of physiotherapists

E-Stim used in physiotherapy
Electrical stimulation is one of the treatment guidelines for comprehensive physical therapy. There are many types of electrical stimulation, also known as E-stim. Different types of stimulation are used for different purposes in physiotherapy plans.

If you have movement problems after an injury or illness You may benefit from physiotherapy in order to return to normal movement again. Your physical therapist may choose to use electrical stimulation to help you move better or to feel better.

Here are some examples of using a physical therapist's electrical stimulation. If you already have a basic understanding of the electrical stimulation that your physical therapist uses to achieve the desired results You will not hesitate to take the time to do physical therapy at all.

First thing: electrical stimulation for pain relief

TENS to control chronic and sudden pain
(Physical therapists may use electrical stimulation on your muscles and nerves to help them function better).

Electrical stimulation of muscles and nerves through the skin. (Transcutaneous electrical neuromuscular stimulation or TENS)

It is a form that physical therapists use to control pain. The electrical current stimulates the nerve endings in the skin which transmit pain signals to the brain. These signals can be blocked to help reduce the pain you feel.

Warning: TENS is a passive therapy. (Note: Translators: Direct treatment, such as heat, electrical stimulation, etc., without stretching the muscles.)

And effective physical therapy is exercise primarily You need to make sure you use TENS as a pain control, which is part of physical therapy that requires exercise.







NMES for improved muscle function

From then, stimulated by electric current to cause the muscles to contract During the electrical stimulation of your muscles You may exert yourself with stimulation to help with the integration of the muscles and nerves of the injured muscles.

A group of experts in stimulation, such as Bioness, use functional NMES, which has a small switch. Added to the circuit which can be opened and closed while the muscles are active, such as walking or reaching Which allows patients to return to use the muscles on their own after paralysis Or have an injury that causes muscle weakness or atrophy







E-stim for controlling urinary incontinence
A physical therapist can help you if you have problems with urinary incontinence.

If you have problems with urinary incontinence Physical therapists may use electrical stimulation to help you use the muscles that help hold your urine.

Physical therapists may use electrical stimulation as a biofeedback treatment, which involves using electrical current to monitor muscle contractions.

A: Transmit electrical current through the skin, known as Transcutaneous. Is a stimulation without piercing through the skin



3. Q: Types of electrical stimulation therapy in physical therapy (Electrical Stimulation or ES)

Divided into how many types

A: divided into 6 types together By dividing according to the purpose or goal of treatment
- Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is an electrical stimulation device used to treat denevated muscle in order to maintain muscle condition. Delay muscle atrophy (Delayed muscle atrophy) or to achieve new learning. (Re-education) in the muscles that lack the nerve to support some (partial denevated muscle)
- Electrical stimulation for tissue repaired (ESTR) uses electrical current to reduce edema, improvement of circulation and wound management or wound healing

-Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is the use of electrical stimulation of the innervated muscle in order to maintain the restore muscle function, including muscle strengthening. ), The reduction of muscle spasms (spasm reduction), slowing atrophy Or to prevent muscle atrophy due to disuse (disuse atrophy prevention) and muscle re-edu4cation is often used in cases where the tendons or muscles are moved (tendon transfer)
: Note that in the muscles that lack the nerve to feed. Will use the term to delay atrophy of muscles But there is no word to prevent atrophy The muscles that have normal nerves Can be used as protection And delay atrophy of muscles

-Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is the use of electrical stimulation to guide the desired movement. Is the use of electric current as an orthotic to achieve the desired muscle function

-TENS or Trancutaneous electrical nerve stimulation uses electrical stimulation to reduce pain (pain control). In addition to using the TENS current, there are other currents that are used to reduce pain such as Interference Current, Diadynamic Current, High Voltage Galvanic Current etc.

-Iontophoresis is an electrical technique for driving certain drugs. That has the property of discharging into charges When in solution Often used for local pain relief Reduce the contraction of the local muscles And used in the treatment of certain skin diseases etc.






4. Q: TENS and (Electrical) What is the difference between Stimulation or ES)?
A: ES is used to treat muscle groups that have nerve endings and those that don't have nerve endings. Which can be treated in various ways such as Increasing the strength of the muscles, reducing swelling, slowing atrophy of the muscles, etc. TENS helps to reduce pain only.



5. Q: How does muscle stimulation using physical therapy ES help to reduce swelling?
A: Using electrical stimulation to stimulate the muscles to contract, resulting in increased circulation of black and lymph, causing swelling to decrease.


6. Q: What can be combined with the use of electric currents to reduce edema?
A: Can be combined with positioning and bandage to help accelerate swelling.


7. Q: Can TENS be used to reduce acute pain?
A: It can be treated as Hi-TENS because this type of current will prevent the pain spasm in the pain cycle. Mostly used in minor sport injuries such as mild shoulder contusion, rib contusion, mild ankle sprains.

Choosing the right pillows can help reduce neck pain and shoulder pain.

There are 3 postures that people generally sleep on: the supine position, the side on the side and the prone position, which causes adverse effects on health and causes pain, namely the prone position, which will make the back spine bent and the neck tilted. The side is the position that should be avoided as possible. The most suitable position is the supine position and lie on the side. But when getting older, even when sleeping in the correct position, it may cause neck pain and shoulder pain as well. Choosing the right pillows together with the correct sleeping position can help reduce the pain.

While we sleep on our back or on our side We should use a cylindrical pillow to support the neck and another pillow that is flat and flat in the head. To support the curvature of the head and neck And make the neck and back bones straight. To reduce and prevent neck pain And shoulder pain while sleeping and after waking up

But nowadays there is another option that is more convenient than using two pillows to support the neck and head. Is the use of high quality memory foam pillows that are designed to look like two pillows that support the arch of the head and neck in one
In addition to the shape of the pillow The height and softness of the pillows are also important. We should avoid pillows that are too high and hard. Because it will cause neck flexion at night And causing pain in the morning after waking up

The Memory Foam Pillow is designed to support the head and neck curves in one go. And manufactured from high quality memory foam that has a special high density Therefore helps reduce neck pain Excellent shoulder pain




Pillows help relieve neck pain that is suitable for sleeping. Must not cause neck pain, headache, body aches Which must be suitable softness Not soft until our face and head are attached to the mattress And not too high until the neck is set because it can cause injury But need to be soft and the height of the pillow is suitable at around 4-6 inches, because if this is shorter or too soft, will cause the pressure in the blood vessels to rise Especially in patients with high blood pressure Which when the pillows are too low or too soft, when waking up, there will be a headache Including a swollen face due to bleeding in the face and head These things are not good for the patients because they may cause symptoms like people falling down on pillows.
Or having a pain in the neck that can be difficult On the other hand, if sleeping with a pillow that is too high and too hard In the period of the neck and head, will not be able to fully touch the pillow. Meaning that the pillow is not able to support the entire head as it should be Will cause blood supply to the brain, not just because the blood flow in the neck area is not easy Because the neck is overly set Resulting in a chance that the neck joints are misaligned and press down the blood vessels and nerves Spreading into a dislocated neck joint disease And will result in pain on the neck, upper arm, followed
