For Patients Who Are Obese, It May Not Be Possible

question 4

Multiple Choice

For patients who are obese, it may not be possible to achieve the desired muscle response with NMES. Why?

• A)Patients who are obese do not have enough muscle mass to be stimulated with electrical stimulation.
• B)The statement is false.
• C)The motor nerve may be too "insulated" by the intervening layer of adipose to allow sufficient stimulation without painful stimulation of the sensory nerves in the skin.
• D)The depth of the myoneural junction in patients with significant adipose is prohibitively deeper than in patients who are not obese, making stimulation of the motor nerve virtually impossible.
