Positive & Negative
Define pulsed current:
There is no Pulsed current
Monophasic form that charges after electrical event
Biphasic form that charges after electrical event

How does the amount of adipose tissue affect impedance of the lower tissue with E-stim?
The less amount of adipose tissue the lower the impedance
The less amount of adipose tissue the increase impedance
Adipose tissue does not affect impedance
All are correct

N.E.M.S units
T.E.N.S units
Biofeedback units
Russian units
The pulse duration to produce a response on a motor nerve compared to a sensory nerve has to be:
Louder on motor than sensory nerve
Same on motor than sensory nerve
Shorter on motor than sensory nerve
Longer on motor than sensory nerve
How does consuming ETOH by a Pt affects application of E-stim?
Pt has the right to use E-stim
ETOH produces analgesic effects and impairs ability of Pt to safely utilize E-stim
ETOH produces analgesic effects and increases ability of Pt to safely utilize E-stim
All are correct
