Modalities Quiz 6 Questions & Answers
What are some ES techniques for improving ROM? - ANSWERS-NMES
-Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy
-Electrotherapy (TENS, NMES, FES)
Indications for the use of Therapeutic Modalities? - ANSWERS-pain?
Which modality is good for hip capsule restriction? - ANSWERS-Diathermy?
Modality for Achille's tendonitis - ANSWERS-cryotherapy?
What is a stretch window? - ANSWERS-the limited time while the tissue is still warm for
you to stretch
-apply the stretch immediately
What is the intensity for NMES? - ANSWERS~70% maximum voluntary contraction
(MVC)
Quad Strengthening in the early stages of NMES - ANSWERS-
NMES intensity when deal with ACL - ANSWERS-maximally tolerated
Strengthening with NMES intensity - ANSWERS-increased muscle size
-improved motor unit recruitment
-not all studies show significant improvements with use of NMES compared to exercise.
High-intensity NMES can improve the clinical outcomes.
Line vs. Battery powered NMES - ANSWERS-no significant difference in torque
produces with the same parameters
-patient comfort is key
Fatigue and NMES strengthening - ANSWERS-there is a increase in fatigability
compared to voluntary contraction
