Neuromodulation for Spinal Cord Injury: OTs Role in Enhancing Outcomes

---

1.  Which of the following is a barrier to recovery in SCI? Transected axons Muscle atrophy Autonomic dysregulation Pain

2.  Which of the following is the most important part of any repair study in SCI? Neuroprotection Rehabilitation Quick steroid delivery Tissue transplant

3.  Activity-based Therapy (ABT) is targeted Above the lesion Below the lesion Above and below the lesion To muscle tissue

4.  Which key component of ABT uses electricity to stimulate nerves? FES Weight bearing Locomotor training Task specific training

5.  Which key component of ABT focuses on retraining neural patterns for locomotion? FES Locomotor training Weight bearing Task specific training

6.  Massed practice in in-patient rehabilitation may lead to Worse outcomes More pain Improved outcomes Early discharge

7.  Training the unaffected limb in neurological injury may lead to Improvements in the affected limb Worsening of the affected limb Headache Pain

8.  Most new spinal cord injuries are Traumatic In young people Incomplete Mild

9.  Neuromodulation is the Alteration of PNS signals Surgical implant of electrodes Change in sensory signals Increase in CNS excitation

10.  Evidence shows Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation can Eliminate voluntary function Cause spasticity Worsen pain Increase spinal excitability
