What is the most important factor to acheving strengthening through e-stim? What is the biggest obstacle to achieveing the proper dosage when strengthening with e-stim? By placing the electrodes further apart, you are causing the current to go __________. Patient discomfort is usually the biggest issue when trying to generate a contraction more than what % of MVC? According to Delitto and Synder-Mackler, what is the difference in training effect when using e-stim vs. exercise in healthy patients when training intensity is the same? According to Delitto and Snyder-Mackler, is there an added benefit of using e-stim and exercise together in healthy patients? Studies have shown better results with estim early in the rehab process in patient population due to the selective recruitment of what type of fibers? In patient populations such as post-ACL repair and children with CP, what might happen to Type II muscle fibers? With aging, Type II muscle fibers may show a decrease in what? A muscle in which every motor unit as lost its motor axon is known as what? state of the whole muscle and not the individual muscle fibers, when some fibers remain innervated. anterior horn cell axon and all the muscle fibers it innervates. true or false: a patient with a denervated muscle experiences a loss of voluntary and control AND reflexes? What happens to the size of the muscle that is denervated? What may happen to the neuromusclar junction of a denervated muscle?
