Part 3 of 6 in our Lunch and Learn series.
In this session we will discuss how to tailor electrical stimulation protocols to the individual patient based on the extent of denervation, patient tolerance, and recovery goals.
After this webinar you will be able to describe the key parameters of electrical stimulation and their impact on denervated muscle, understand how to tailor protocols based on denervation severity and considerations for measuring and adjusting these over time.
Format:
We know your time is tight, so we’ve designed these sessions to fit with a lunch break. Grab a quiet spot and some nourishment before joining the call.
We will begin promptly at 1230, with a 30minute presentation and time left for questions at the end.
About the series:
In six succinct sessions, we will explore how electrical stimulation techniques can enhance the well-being of individuals with denervated muscles. Whether caused by peripheral nerve injuries or lower motor neuron damage in the spinal cord, forms of electrical stimulation can reverse some of the physiological consequences of denervation.
Denervation has interested clinicians for over a hundred years, but research was primarily descriptive for most of that time. We will look at how, in recent decades, work inspired in Austria led to the creation of international multidisciplinary research teams, the novel technology, and the protocols to confront this serious health challenge.
Downloadable notes, pointers to key research and presentation content will support the webinars.
Practical demonstrations and cases will be feature the Stimulator RISE from Dr. Schuhfried Medizintechnik GmbH but the principles apply to any device capable of delivering appropriate stimulation.
