Question
Answer
show -heated by water 165-170 degrees -6-8 layers of towels between hotpack and skin -20-30min  
🗑
show -wax melts b/w 118-130 F and is self sterilizing -treatment temp: 125-127 F -time: 15-20 min dip 6-8 times  
🗑
Contrast bath   show
🗑
Hydrotherapy (whirlpool)   show
🗑
What are some types of cryotherapy   show
🗑
show -high frequency .8-3.0MHZ -3MHZ=superficial -1MHZ=deep -lower intensities and pulsed US are used for acute conditions or thin tissue -higher intensities and continuous US may be used for chronic conditions or thick tissue -if tissue is high in fat or  
🗑
Phonophoresis   show
🗑
show -cervical-20-30 pounds to cause distraction of vertebral bodies -lumbar-25-65 pounds to effect change at the spinal segments  
🗑
Neck positions for cervical traction   show
🗑
Lumbar positions for lumbar traction   show
🗑
show -settings are determined by blood pressure -must be worn for at least 2 hours per day  
🗑
show -motion arc, position of arc and rate of motion can be controlled/changed -CPM should be discontinued if increases in pain, edema, or inflammation are noted  
🗑
Tilt table   show
🗑
Iontophoresis   show
🗑
show -cathode-negatice pole- is used for salicylate (pain relief), acetate (calcium deposits), dexamethasone (anti-inflammatory), and iodine (softens scars)  
🗑
show -anode- positive pole- is used for hydrocortisone (anti-inflammation), Lidocaine (pain relief), magnesium or calcium (muscle spasm), lithium (gout), zinc (dermal ulcers), and copper (fungal infections)  
🗑
show -impulses stimulating the large A-fiber afferents can act to block pain impulse (gate control theory) -current may be a symmetrical or asymmetrical biphasic (AC) waveform or a monophasic (DC) waveform  
🗑
Conventional (high rate)TENS   show
🗑
show -low frequency (1-4 pps) -wide pulse width (150-300 microseconds) -higher intensities than conventional -chronic conditions with longer lasting pain relief -treatment time 30-40 minutes  
🗑
show -high pulse rate (150pps) -long pulse width (300 microseconds) -rapid onset, short term pain relief -pain relief for painful procedures such as wound debridement, deep friction massage or passive stretching -treatment time 15 minutes  
🗑
show -combines both high and low rate TENS -stimulation of endogenous opiates but the current is more tolerable to patient than low rate TENS -onset of analgesia is similar to low rate TENS -treatment time 20-30 minutes  
🗑
Modulation Mode TENS   show
🗑
High Voltage Pulsed Monophasic Stimulation   show
🗑
show -high frequency (2500HZ)- which is modulated to 70pps for comfort -used for strengthening of normal muscle by assisting with the muscle contraction during volitional activities such as isometric exercises and short arc joint movements  
🗑
show -characterized by the crossing of two sinusodial waves having similar amplitudes but different carrier frequencies -the waves interfere with one another to generate an amplitude modulated beat frequency -used for pain relief and muscle strengthening  
🗑
show -can use alternating current (AC at 80-100HZ) to stimulate an innervated muscle for general stimulation or direct current that is interrupted with a long pulse width for a denervated muscle -also called neuromuscular electrical stimulation NMES  
🗑
What is the duty cycle and atrophy ratios for FES/NMES   show
🗑
When should you use FES/NMES   show
🗑
show -if the skin is sensitive or the patient senses burning -use larger electrodes -reduce intensity or increase pulse width AC is better tolerated than DC  
🗑
Biofeedback EMG   show
🗑
Chronaximetry   show
🗑
Nerve Conduction Velocity TEST   show
🗑
show  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
