System
System
The two parts of the nervous system
What are the brain and spinal cord?
The treatment to excite damaged nerves
What is electron stimulation?
The process that assists a person in recovering from a serious injury, illness or surgery to regain strength, or relearn skills
What is rehabilitation?
Electron stimulation sends mild pulses to help stimulate injured muscles
What is the manipulation of nerves to reduce pain?
Congrats!
Free Pass :)
The peripheral nervous system controls
What are voluntary and involuntary functions?
What is where the injury to the spinal cord occurred?
Congrats!
Free Pass :)
The electrical pulses copy this to help restore movement
What is the action of signals coming from neurons?
Bleeding, infection, more nerve damage, and scar tissue blockades
What are the risks of electron stimulation?
The nerves are no longer able to send signals throughout the body
What is nerve damage?
Emission of electronic impulses in attempt to treat paralysis
What is electron stimulation of the spinal cord?
After muscles are not used, they must be retaught in order to properly function
Why electron stimulation rehab is important?
How is the electron stimulation device implanted?
The stage at which this treatment is in
What are clinical trials?
Loss of motor function
What is paralysis?
Who is a good candidate for electron stimulation treatment?
Electrical stimulation can block signals of pain to improve body function
What can help patients to rehabilitate quicker?
Restoration of muscle movement begins on a smaller scale, such as regaining the ability to wiggle your fingers.
What is the progression of electron stimulation?
Another way electrical stimulation is used to treat paralysis
What is alongside nerve reconstruction?
The number of nerves in our nervous system
What are 7 trillion nerves?
Regaining voluntary and involuntary actions
What can electron stimulation help with?
Patients are able to live independently with full use of motor functions
What is the goal of rehabilitation along with electrical stimulation?
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and electrical muscle stimulation (EMS)
What are the two main types of electrical stimulation?
Exercising muscles does this for future health risks
What is the decrease in likelihood of developing other health issues that can be caused by paralysis?
