| What are changes in current characteristics to produce a desired clinical effect? | |
| Type of e-stim in which the primary goal is muscle excitation, facilitation, strengthening, ROM, or reducing spasticity | |
| Positively charged ion | |
| Flow of electricity as charged particles move through a conductor (measured in amperes or amps) | |
| A finite series of pulses and form of frequency modulation | |
| What is the time between the end of one phase and the beginning of the next successive phase? | |
| What occurs when a patient gets used to a stimulus that has been applied for a long period of time without modulation (there is still propagation of action potential)? | |
| Type of input that uses a wall current | |
| The number of trains of pulses per second (i.e. bursts per second) | |
| Pulses per second (frequency within each burst) | |
| What is the time it takes to complete one cycle? | |
| Substances with high resistance that prevent transmission of current (i.e. rubber, skin, fat) | |
| What is the duration of stimulus needed when amplitude is twice the rheobase? | |
| Substances such as gel, water, sponges soaked in water, or adhesive electrodes that reduce resistance at the skin (creating electrode interface) | |
| What is the minimum amplitude required to activate excitable cell at an infinite duration of stimulus? | |
| What is the time from the start of the pulse to the end of the pulse? | |
| What type of current has an uninterrupted bidirectional flow of charged particles and is balanced? | |
| Type of e-stim used to facilitate standing or ambulation in patients with neurological impairments. Used in place of orthotic, sling or splint. Used to enhance usage of upper extre | |
| What is the time from the start of the phase until the point where current changes direction? | |
| Time between bursts | |
| Opposition to movement of electrons/current flow (measured in ohms) | |
| Form of e-stim that has a primary goal of pain relief. Can be on a sensory or motor level | |
| The four parameters for electrical stimulation | |
| What is the highest or lowest point on the waveform (clinically referred to as the intensity)? | |
| What type of current has polar effects and a net charge | |
| What type of current has no net charge (amount of charge in 1st phase equals charge in 2nd phase)? | |
| What is the progressive increase or decrease in pulse amplitude for a train of pulses (used to help with comfort)? | |
