In this study, the bacterial contamination of electrode sponges was analyzed. Bacteria were collected and cultured from the center of electrode sponges in five judo therapist clinics at three consecutive time points. The number of colonizations, which was collected from five judo therapist clinics and cultured, was averaged, and compared and evaluated according to the collection time points 1 to 3. There was a large number of colonizations among the samples at each collection time point; however, there was no significant difference in the number of colonizations. It was considered that numerous bacteria had grown and reached the internal parts of the electrode sponges. Therefore, discussion and further study on disinfectants that penetrate the internal parts of electrode sponges are necessary.}, pages = {187--190}, title = {接骨院で使用する物理療法機器の衛生環境調査 ― 電気療法機器の電極スポンジの衛生環境について ―}, volume = {11}, year = {2017} }
