ELECTRICAL STIMULATION TERMS Flashcards
name this type of electrical stimulation?
umbrella term for stimulation of nerves whereby current is applied via the skin, however a motor response is not produced
transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
name this type of electrical stimulation?
a device that can deliver patients with FES closed loop system allowing real time adaptations due to increased feedback sources for sensory feedback
neuroprothesis
name this type of electrical stimulation?
use of electrical stimulation during a sequence in order to replicate carrying out a functional task.
an open loop system that provides sensory feedback
functional electrical stimulation (FES)
name this type of electrical stimulation?
electrical stimulation producing muscle contraction, however not during a specific activity, taking out the function aspect
neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES)
name this parameter term
number of electrical pulses per second (measured in Hz)
frequency
name this parameter term
length of time that single electrical pulse is active (measured in usec)
pulse width/duration
name this parameter term
current (mA) how far the medium is displaced temporarily from its rest position
intensity/amplitude
name this parameter term
length of single treatment session
duration
name this parameter term
number of treatment sessions per length of time
dosage
name this parameter term
time taken to achieve selected treatment intensity and then return to rest post stimulation
ramp up/down
name this parameter term
monophasic or biphasic
stimulation waveform
name this parameter term
work to rest ration
on/off cycle
name this parameter term
acute or chronic stage of recovery
time since stroke
name this parameter term
surface, percutaneous or implantable electrodes
synchronized or alternating channels
additional parameter
name this type of electrical stimulation:
transcends an electrical current, to provide constant electrical stimulation to the peripheral nerves in a specific area of the body, to modulate pain
transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
name this type of electrical stimulation:
adjust pulse rate settings for a specific injury and pain that is acute or chronic; and easy to pinpoint
interferential current stimulation (IFC)
name this type of electrical stimulation:
one set of electrodes
pre-modulated current
pain control
- gate control
- opiate release
- nerve block
- other
premodulated-gate control
this type of electrical stimulation used for muscle strengthening of the post TKA patient?
VMS-NMES or neuromuscular electrical stimulation
this type of electrical stimulation is used for transdermal drug delivery
iontophoresis
