Summary

Are you looking for an awesome cheatsheet that reviews the facts to know about functional electrical stimulation for the NPTE?

Look no further: https://www.nptecheatsheet.com/functional-stim

Janae presents with a recent stroke and difficulty clearing the right foot during swing. The therapist plans to use electrical stimulation to improve the patient's gait pattern. Which of the following is the MOST appropriate to achieve the desired result:

A. Over the proximal anterior tibial region, stimulating the deep peroneal nerve

B. Over the proximal anterior tibial region, stimulating the superficial peroneal nerve

C. Over the distal anterior tibial region, stimulating the superficial peroneal nerve

D. Over the distal anterior tibial region, stimulating the tibial nerve

Did you get this question wrong?! If you were stuck between two answers and selected the wrong one, then you need to visit www.NPTEPASS.com, to learn about the #1 solution to STOP getting stuck.

So we have A, over the proximal anterior tibial region, stimulating the deep peronial nerve.

1:24.2

B is over the proximal anterior tibial region stimulating the superficial peronial nerve. B is over the proximal anterior tibial region stimulating the superficial peronial
