Students will be work in groups of 3-4. Each group must develop a mnemonic based on the one common usage of Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) . The specific NMES parameters for edema, muscle spasm, or re-education can be found in the textbook in the Electrotherapy section. The mnemonic will be used to memorize the appropriate settings for NMES application. The included Therapeutic Modalities article provides examples of 4 types of mnemonics. Each group should used the article as a guide to develop a new mnemonic specific to the selected NMES usage. Please provide a description of which type of mnemonic the group used at the beginning of your assignment. Please upload your assignment (.doc or .ppt files only) into the appropriate moodle link.
