Hint | Answer |
What Rx time range is used for NMES facilitation protocol? | |
What law: to stimulate excitable tissue, you must have a sudden variation in current flow (why denervated mm contraction is only seen when circuit is initially established)? | |
Indication or contraindication for NMES? Rx area over anterior chest wall? | |
Indication or contraindication for NMES: Rx area over carotid sinus? | |
What frequency range is used to produce fused tetanic contraction (in pps)? | |
What frequency range should be used for ALL of the NMES protocols? | |
True or false: motor points may move after a denervation injury? | |
What waveform would you use for NMES for small muscle groups? | |
Indication or contraindication for NMES: Rx area affected by PVD, venous thrombosis or thrombophlebitis? | |
Indication or contraindication for NMES: disuse atrophy? | |
True or false: sensory effects of NMES provide feedback during movement & can enhance volitional recruitment? | |
What is the interburst interval (msec) for Russian stim? | |
Volitional contraction or e-stim: order of muscle recruitment is random or reversed? | |
Volitional contraction or e-stim: follows size principle? | |
Volitional contraction or e-stim: stimulates peripheral nerve directly | |
What kind of circuit is most effective in producing excitation of denervated muscle? | |
When stimulating denervated muscle, Russian or biphasic can be used for what kind of denervation? | |
True or false: excessive swelling may increase impedence to e-stim? | |
Intermittent high force e-stim yields effects that are similar to what kind of training (with traditional exercise)? | |
Volitional contraction or e-stim: recruit progressively larger motor units as greater force is required? | |
Prolonged low force e-stim yields effects that are similar to what kind of training (with traditional exercise)? | |
What 2 waveforms are most commonly used for NMES? | |
What is the first sign of denervation recovery, even in the absence of volitional contraction? | |
What amplitude do you want for a NMES strengthening protocol? | |
Indication or contraindication for NMES: pacemaker or AICD? | |
