3/18/20131 Introduction and Update on the Use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation for neurologic Populations Barbara M. Doucet, OTR, PhDLOTA Spring ConferenceMetairie, LAMarch 2013 Objectives By the end of the session, participants will be able to: 1. Describe how neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is used in the practice of occupational therapy and articulate the theoretical and regulatory issues associated with the use of NMES; 2. Explain the essential elements of electrotherapy and define the individual NMES parameters used in treatment regimens; 3. Summarize the effects of electrotherapy on muscle tissue and demonstrate an understanding of the conditions that could benefit from NMES application; 4. Objectively evaluate the current scientific evidence supporting the use of NMES in occupational therapy practice; 5. Administer an NMES program to a partner, evaluate the response, and reciprocate by having the program applied to themselves;Definition: PAMs Physical Agent Modalities (PAMs) are those procedures and interventions that are systematically applied to modify specific client factors when neurological, musculoskeletal, or skin conditions are present that may be limiting occupational performance.
