Abstract

In the research work a group of 50 patients (35 female and 15 male patients) treated with
cryokinesielectrotherapy was compared with the control group of 50 patients (30 females and
20 males) treated with cryokinesitherapy. In the first group of patients, immediately after
cryomassage and individual exercises a diadynamic current was applied in the modulation l of
2 minutes duration and modulation 3 and 4 of 4 minutes duration, the poles having been
changed in the middle of the period.
For the evaluation of efficacy the following parameters were observed: the circumference
of the knuckle, the function of the radiocarpal joint and the pressure of the closed fiSt. The
parameters were observed before the beginning of therapy and after 20 applications. The
results show the greater efficacy of the rebabilitation by means of cryokinesitherapy combined
with diadynamic currents (modulation 1,3 and 4) in comparison with the control group treated
only with cryokinesitherapy.
