Parapleji Tedavisinde Elektroterapi Cihazına Bağlı Gelişen Yanık Olgusu
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Analytical Medicine - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Electromyostimulation (EMS) therapy is widely used as a part of physiotherapy for all patterns of skeletal muscle weaknesses like paresis, paralysis, neuropathies, and myopathies. To our knowledge, burns caused by the use of an electrotherapy device have not been reported earlier. We report the case of a 21-yearold man who suffered full thickness burns by electrical stimulation with electrode implanted on the anterior side of his leſt thigh. The burn area was treated consevatively within five weeks without any surgery. The burn injuries due to electrotherapy device are preventable and therefore, some basic measures may reduce the incidence of accidental burn injury. We hope that this case report will raise awareness about the dangers involved in the ever-increasing use of electrotherapy devices.
