can you draw about the relationship between a muscle’s workload and its threshold of stimulation? When the workload doubles‚ the threshold of stimulation will increase by 1. The muscles that have a higher threshold of stimulation can take on a high workload if it originally had no workload. 2. . Why would a muscle’s threshold of stimulation change as its Workload changes? The muscle will need a higher stimulation and work harder to be able to contract. 3. Which muscles were able to contract

The use of electrical stimulation has been used widely in physical therapy for many different reasons to treat and manage pain‚ joint limitations‚ spasticity and spasms‚ muscle disuse atrophy‚ circulatory deficits and muscle re-education. The purpose of this case report is to describe the efficacy of using a medium frequency alternating current (MFAC)‚ a Russian stimulation‚ for muscle re-education and strengthening to the quadriceps femoris muscles to help improve the ability to perform sit to stand

Use of Cyclic Steam Stimulation technique for Enhanced Oil Recovery Cyclic Steam Stimulation(CSS)‚ also known as the steam huff and puff‚ steam soak‚ or cyclic steam injection is a process in which a combination of directional and horizontal wells are used to inject high pressure steam into the Clearwater Formation‚ which warms the bitumen oil viscosities(100-10‚000 cp) at reservoir temperature and lowers its viscosity thereby permitting it to flow into the well bore. . Figure 1 shows a typical

Last week‚ we spent time in the stimulation lab at school to practice how to dispense medication‚ assess vital signs‚ and educate the patient to improve her diet and her medicine. While others were caring for the patient in her room‚ another group was watching the entire process in the control room and speaking though the microphone‚ acting as the patient. Prior to entering the lab‚ we had to complete the stimulation pre-work assignment. The assignment included‚ reviewing the patient’s medical record
