New cards

NMES Indications

  • Strength/capacity building

  • NM re-education

  • Spasticity reduction

2
New cards

Volitional vs NMES Contraction

Volitional: Asynchronous firing that recruits Type I first.

NMES: Synchronous firing that recruits Type II first.

3
New cards

NMES Expiration Date

NMES + ExRx is better only in the early stages of rehab (FOR STRENGTH GAINS).

4
New cards

Tetanic motor stimulation must use an _____

On/off cycle

5
New cards

For NMES strengthening, you must allow at least a ___-second contraction tmie

5

6
New cards

Bipolar electrode placement → NMES strengthening

Proximal and distal ends of muscle belly

7
New cards

Russian Stimulation

Polyphasic pulsed current used for strengthening.

8
New cards

Russian Stim parameters

Intensity: Maximally Tolerated Contraction

Phase Duration: 200 microseconds/2500 Hz carrier frequency

Frequency: 50 Hz

On/off: 10/50

9
New cards

Strengthening, re-education, FES, and edema management all take advantage of _____ stimulation

motor

10
New cards

Iontophoresis

Use of a low-amplitude DC to drive ionized drugs transdermally. The medication must match the polarity of the electrode in order to be repelled into the tissue.

11
New cards

Electroporation

DC-induced increased porosity of the epidermis

12
New cards

Iontophoresis Depth

3-20 mm; influenced by impedance

13
New cards

Iontophoresis Current Density

Cathode: <0.5 mA/cm²

Anode: <1.0 mA/cm²

14
New cards

Current Dosage equation

mA x minutes

15
New cards

Iontophoresis Home-device Use

Very low current applied over 4-12 hours.

16
New cards

BFRT

Technique that partially restricts arterial and venous flow to create local muscular hypoxia while completing low-load resistance training.

17
New cards

Gold Standard for monitoring limb occlusion pressure

Doppler

18
New cards

BFRT Contraindications

  • VTE (Venous thromboembolism)

  • Clot risk

  • Vascular issues

  • HTN (Stage 3+)

19
New cards

BFR % of limb occlusion pressure: UE vs LE

UE: 30-50% LOP

LE: 60-80% LOP

20
New cards

BFR Protocol

20-30% 1RM

4 sets, 30 reps then 3×15

30 second rest between sets, cuff remains inflated

Deflate cuff between exercises (Max cuff time: 20 min)

21
New cards

High-load training is _____ than BFRT for strengthening and _____ for hypertrophy

better; equal
