Objectives of this course

On completion of this CPD activity, the participant will be able to:

  • Discuss the use of functional electrical stimulation (FES) in stroke rehabilitation.
  • Describe the use of F-wave and H-reflex measures to assess motor neuron excitability and spasticity following stroke.
  • Compare the effects of conventional rehabilitation and FES on functional outcomes (lower limb motor function, walking, balance, mental status, and activities of daily living) of patients with stroke.
  • Compare the effects of conventional rehabilitation and FES on the electrophysiological measures (F-wave latency and amplitude, and H-reflex changes) of patients with stroke.

 

Instructions:

Progress to the lesson to begin reading the article. Mark this step complete once you have read the article.

You may then progress to answer the quiz. You only have three attempts at the quiz, so be sure to check your answers. If you score above 70% on the Quiz, you will qualify for 3 CEUs.

Once you have marked all tasks complete, you will be able to access your CEU certificate on your My Courses Profile.
