Radiofrequency is a technology used in physical rehabilitation by physicians and physiotherapists for more than fifteen years, although there exist doubts on how it works. Indiba is a particular method that applies a voltage difference of 448 KHz between two electrodes, creating an electric current between them. These electrodes are an active one that is placed on different areas of the body and a passive one that is left on the same position during the treatment. There are two different types of active electrodes: the capacitive one and the resistive one. In this paper, it has been studied how the different electrodes affect the current density inside the body and thus how they affect the efficacy of the treatment. It shows how finite element calculations should help physicians in order to better understand its behavior and improve the treatments.
射频是医生和物理治疗师在物理康复中使用了超过十五年的一项技术，尽管人们对其工作原理存在疑问。英迪巴是一种特殊的方法，它在两个电极之间施加448千赫的电压差，在它们之间产生电流。这些电极一个是有源电极，放置在身体的不同部位，另一个是无源电极，在治疗过程中保持在同一位置。有源电极有两种不同类型：电容式电极和电阻式电极。在本文中，研究了不同电极如何影响体内的电流密度，进而如何影响治疗效果。它展示了有限元计算应如何帮助医生更好地理解其行为并改进治疗方法。
