Electrical Stimulation

1. The positively and negatively charged particles.
3. A safety device that automatically shuts off current flow and reduces the chances of electrical shock.
6. Materials that resistance current flow.
7. The building blocks of pulses, the individual section of a pulse that rises above or drops below the baseline for a measurable period of time.
8. Stimulation is an intensity that produces visible muscle contraction without causing pain.
10. Materials that permit free movement of electrons.
13. Created when the ion collection has created an acidic or alkaline environment. Generally used for the purpose to create an analgesic effect.
14. The flow of electrons.
15. Used primarily for tissue healing.
17. Uninterrupted, bidirectional flow of electrons.
18. The stimulation that is specific to the neuromuscular junction, or stimulation to the muscle.
19. The horizontal distance required to complete one full waveform.

2. Stimulation current is applied at an intensity that stimulates pain fibers.
4. All therapeutic agents are termed as this.
5. Uninterruppted, unidirectional flow of electrons.
9. The number of electrical impulses delivered per second. Directly effects the muscle response, and physiological outcome of stimulation applied.
11. Describes the inverse relationship voltage and resistance. E.g. the voltage is the output, the resistance is patient skin.
12. Stimulation that depolarizes only sensory nerves.
16. The on-off time of the electrical current.
17. The phenomenon where the body becomes less responsive to electrical stimulation over time if intensity remains consistent.
