Therapeutic Modalities | 310 Questions | With CompleteSolutions
1 inch diameter treatment size Correct Answer 4X4 area
1 MHz beam is Correct Answer Spread out and dissipates
1-1.25 Correct Answer Keep around
1-MHz ultrasound Correct Answer The more commonly used
1-MHz ultrasound heats tissue from 3 to 5 cm deep,
1.5-2.0 Wcm2 Correct Answer Usually too hot
2 settings for ultrasound Correct Answer Continuous and
pulsed
3 inch diameter sound head Correct Answer Treat a bigger area
3 MHz gets warm faster due to Correct Answer Superficial
treatment
3-MHz ultrasound Correct Answer 3-MHz ultrasound heats
tissue is usually transmitted from 2 to 3 cm deep.
A fiber Correct Answer The largest 1-22 um in diameter nerve
fiber; conducts action potentials the most rapidly 5-120 m/sec.
Some A fibers are sensory; others have a motor function.
A process by which subthreshold stimulus add together to evoke
a response Correct Answer summation
,A reaction that results from summation Correct Answer
Response
A-delta fiber Correct Answer A peripheral nerve that carries
sensations, including nociceptive stimuli that result in acute
pain; larger and faster-acting than C fibers.
Absorption Correct Answer Energy can be absorbed by one
layer reducing the energy available to deeper tissues.
Acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol Correct Answer Acetaminophen
e.g., Tylenol is an analgesic and an antipyretic, but it does not
have any appreciable anti-inflammatory or anticlotting effects.
Unlike aspirin, acetaminophen is not associated with
gastrointestinal irritation; however, high doses can be toxic to
the liver and even may be fatal.
Acoustical streaming Correct Answer Free flowing cells or
particles moving towards beam
Activity on a neuron that when it returns facilitates future
activity on that neuron Correct Answer Positive feedback
Activity on a neuron that when it returns prohibits future activity
on that neuron Correct Answer Negative feedback
acute care Correct Answer Treatment of an acute injury during
the first 4 days after the injury.
,Acute care has three subcategories, what are they Correct
Answer Emergency care, transitional care, immediate care
acute injury Correct Answer An injury of sudden onset, caused
by highintensity, short-duration forces; examples are sprains,
strains, and contusions.
Acute injury Correct Answer Can be used but low duty cycle
Adipose tissue and diathermy Correct Answer Be concerned
Adipose tissue has ________ effect on ultrasound Correct
Answer Little
After 14 days, what kind of care sets in? Correct Answer
Transition care
agility Correct Answer A combination of speed of movement
and coordination; developed as skill patterns are performed
quickly, usually with sport-specific team drills.
Amount of absorption depends on Correct Answer Protein
content of tissues
An unpleasant sensory or emotional experience associated with
actual or potential tissue damage Correct Answer Pain
As distance increases the beam Correct Answer Becomes more
uniform
, Aspirin Correct Answer Aspirin is the most commonly used
drug to relieve pain and inflammation. A normal dosage is 325
to 650 mg every 4 hours.
At each tissue interface Correct Answer Conversion
Beam non uniformity ratio Correct Answer Ratio between
spatial peak intensity and spatial average intensity
best practice (standard of care, standard therapy) Correct
Answer Treating a specific patient's specific condition in the
way that will lead to resolution of the condition in the most
complete and expedient manner possible; treatment that experts
agree is appropriate, accepted, widely used, and reproducible.
biofeedback Correct Answer A process of measuring a
biological mechanism using an objective means and then telling
the patient his scores. The feedback helps the patient progress
more quickly.
Biophysical effects of diathermy Correct Answer Increase
blood flow
Activation of fibroblasts
Imcrease macrophage activity
biphasic Correct Answer A pulse with two phases; current
flows in both directions.
bipolar technique Correct Answer The application of electrodes
of equal size, resulting in essentially equal current density under
them; both electrodes are, therefore, active.
