Contraindications & Precautions for E-Stim & Ultrasound

The video covers contraindications and precautions for common estim techniques and therapeutic ultrasound. It explains general and specific contraindications for estim, including relative contraindications like implantable cardiac devices and unstable arrhythmias. Precautions for estim include cardiac disease and impaired sensation. Specific techniques like TENS, IFC, iontophoresis, and high voltage pulse current are discussed, along with EMS techniques such as NMES, Russian, and FES. The video also details therapeutic ultrasound's absolute contraindication of malignant tumors and other relative contraindications.
