Clinical applications
Muscular electrostimulation with Russian currents is mainly indicated for treatment of muscular
hypertrophy, for increasing muscle mass programs and to treat idiopathic scoliosis. Compared to
other low frequency excitomotor programs (e.g. rectangular biphasic and faradic), Russian currents
programs offer better muscle recruitment and a deep action, since the skin offers less resistance to
these frequencies. The disadvantage of these programs is that it is difficult to stimulate selected
muscle fibers with the biphasic rectangular current, instead this is possible with lower frequencies.
