Which one of the following is not a commonly used clinical method of using electrical stimulation for improving range of motion (ROM) affected by spasticity?
A) Motor level stimulation over the antagonist muscle
B) Motor level stimulation over the spastic muscle
C) Sensory level stimulation over the spastic muscle
D) Sensory level stimulation over the antagonist muscle

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Motor level stimulation is used to facilitate the antagonist muscle, which helps to reduce spasticity and improve ROM. Sensory level stimulation over the spastic muscle can help to reduce spasticity and improve ROM by activating inhibitory pathways. Motor level stimulation over the spastic muscle can also be used to induce fatigue and reduce spasticity. However, sensory level stimulation over the antagonist muscle is not a commonly used clinical method for improving ROM affected by spasticity.
