What is the rationale for using a tetanizing frequency when performing functional electrical stimulation?
What will be an ideal response?
Active muscle contractions are performed in a sustained intermittent mode as opposed to an interrupted twitching mode. A low frequency will create twitching contractions and will not simulate active contractions; a frequency between 35 to 50 pps will allow for a more sustained contraction.
