Functional Electrical Stimulation for OTs: Principles and Application

---

1.  Therapeutic electrical stimulation is The use of electricity to drive a desired nerve response Electrical stimulation used to power the lights in therapy Electroconvulsive therapy Stimulation used only for pain control

2.  Electrical Stimulation can be NOT used to Reduce edema Replace connective tissue Strengthen Reduce muscle spasm

3.  Electrical stimulation should NOT be used on which of the following Kids Patients with a spinal cord injury Patients with uncontrolled epilepsy Patients who have had a stoke

4.  The Upper Motor Neuron is Contained entirely in the CNS (brain and spinal cord) Contained only in the brain Contained only in the spinal cord Contained only in the upper extremity

5.  Electrically driven contractions differ from physiological contractions by Speed Synchronous motor unit recruitment Target tissue Nerve type

6.  The number of pulses per second is which parameter? Waveform Frequency Amplitude Duration

7.  The magnitude of the current is which parameter? Waveform Frequency Amplitude Duration

8.  The total time of each pulse is which parameter? Waveform Frequency Amplitude Duration

9.  Spasticity treatment with electrical stimulation includes: Sensory settings to spastic muscle Motor settings to spastic muscle Motor settings to antagonist All of the above

10.  In the MS study looking at foot drop, they found: Decreased effort in walking Increased walking speed Increased quality of life All of the above
