Across
- 3. The driving force for electrical current and moves charged particles through a conductor between two points
- 8. The magnitude of the current or intensity of the stimulation
- 10. A nonspecific term that can technically apply to any electrical stimulation using muscle contractions
- 11. The process or act of neutralizing the cell membrane's resting potential
- 13. The electrode that has the greater number of electrons and is negatively charged
- 14. Adaptation by the sensory receptors to the various stimuli over an extended period of time
- 17. Any alteration in the amplitude, duration, or frequency of the current during a series of pulses or cycles
- 18. Pulses per second
- 20. An indication for electrical stimulation, reduced either by activating antagonist muscle or agonist muscle
- 21. The minimum current, with a very long pulse duration, required to produce an action potential
- 22. A current builds gradually to some maximum amplitude
Down
- 1. This can be reduced by using low frequency and high intensity and a minimum of 50 second off time
- 2. Also known as alternating current; the continuous flow of electrons is bidirectional
- 4. Produced first muscle contraction by touching metal to a frog's muscle
- 5. Electrical stimulation should be able to produce greater strength gains than exercise alone with the same force contractions
- 6. The opposition to charged particles and measured in Ohms
- 7. An indication for electrical stimulation, often needed after surgery when muscles are inhibited
- 9. A burst modulated AC with intensity to maximum patient tolerance to see a sufficient muscle contraction
- 12. An example of low-volt stimulation that pushes medicine into tissues using charged particles
- 15. The worse electrical conductor due to 5% water content
- 16. A contraindication for electrical stimulation
- 19. Is a graphic representation of the shape, direction, amplitude, duration and pulse frequency of the electrical current
