REDUCE MUSCLE SPASM
Motor Nerve Block
This protocol provides symptomatic relief of superficial and deep muscle spasm and hypertonicity. It blocks motor
nerves by causing a temporary nerve block through reactive depolarization (Conduction block) of the motor signal on
its way to the muscle. Also known as Wedensky inhibition. Duration of relief is typically from 1 to 2 hours. Faster
onset of relief usually within 5 to 10 minutes. Target tissue is superficial and deep. Bipolar or quadripolar electrode
placement over local muscle and nerve supply. The intensity should be set to elicit a numb-gripping sensation just under
muscle contraction. This current is more aggressive than Sensory nerve block as the carrier frequency is set to 5000 Hz
instead of 10,000 Hz. As the current adapts over time, the intensity should be adjusted upwards during treatment.

MFAC RECIPROCAL INHIBITION
This program provides for stimulation of the spastic muscle’s antagonists. It activates reciprocal inhibition of the
spastic muscle reducing tone. Slow ramps decrease the potential to trigger spasticity of the agonist. A single
channel (A or B) is used over the spastic muscle’s antagonist. Intensity should be set to elicit a grade 2 to 3 muscle
contraction. Intensity should not be too high to induce overflow activation of the spastic muscle. Treatment time
can be reduced based on muscle fatigue and inhibition of spasticity.
