Summary

Low-frequency percutaneous electrical stimulation is the application of an electrical current of \<1000Hz through acupuncture needles located on the epineurium of the peripheral nervous system.

The hypothesis is that by placing the electrode, needle, closer to the nerve, a greater stimulation of the same will be achieved, thus being able to obtain greater effects. The goal is to determine if this technique has any effect on grip strength in the short term.

Conditions

  • Electrical Stimulation
  • Neuromodulation

Interventions

DEVICE

Eco-guided Percutaneous Electrical Stimulation

Pointer 10 hz. A symetric, biphasic current of 10 hz and 240 microsecond. The stimulation intensity will be reaching the excitomotor threshold, producing visible but comfortable contractions.

DEVICE

Sham stimulation

Application of the needles only on the median and ulnar nerve of the arm, for 1 minute on each nerve without current intensity and applying a son.
