You're hot and cold
This is a commonly used acronym (RICE) for treatment of acute injuries.
Rest Ice Compression Elevation
US is an example of the type of heat exchange.
Conversion
Iontophoresis
Percentage of weight for first time using lumbar traction.
20% or 1/4
This pressure is produced from placing an elastic band on stretch as opposed to a muscle contracting against a rigid bandage. (Name each type of pressure)
Resting Pressure
Working Pressure
Use this (CBAN) to explain to patients the progression of cold treatment sensations.
Cold, Burning, Aching, Numbness
It's best to keep the transducer head this distance when performing underwater US.
1/2 - 1 in
Required to elicit a nerve action potential, this must be reached when performing estim.
Threshold stimulus
This property of water would help a patient that is unable to lift their arm on their own.
Buoyancy
The minimum amount of pressure to overcome arterial capillary pressure; but also never above ___ blood pressure.
30mmHg and diastolic
The number of layers for use of MHP.
6-8
An effect of non-thermal ultrasound on underling tissue cells.
Increased cell permeability
These 3 things are required to produce nerve depolarization.
High enough intensity, long enough duration, and fast enough rise time.
This property of water could cause SOB and also help with increased swelling in the extremities.
Hydrostatic Pressure
Pain is centrally located and needs to be surrounded.
This desired result from contrast baths means increased blood flow.
Hyperemia
This is always smaller than the transducer head and helps determine the size of the treatment area.
Effective Radiating Area (ERA)
*DD The basic equation for Ohm's Law. DD*
voltage=current x resistance
This is the typical range of flexion for cervical traction.
25-30 degrees
This is used to measure the electrical activity of the muscles.
Eletromyography
These are the 5 mechanisms for heat transfer.
Convection, Conversion, Conduction, Radiation, Evaporation
The size of the transducer head and the area to be treated will determine this factor when performing US.
Treatment time
When individual muscle contractions occur so close together you can't tell them apart (at least 35Hz).
Tetany
The percent of body weight required for vertebral separation.
50%
Type of current that uses double spiked waveform.
High Voltage Pulsatile Current (HVPC)
