E-Stim
Uses this as a means to create a therapeutic effect on a patient.
What is Electric Current
Ultrasound uses high frequency pulses of this to achieve a therapeutic effect
What is sound or sound waves
This modality uses the opposite of UV light
What is infrared
BFR stimulates this response in the brain
What is the fight or flight response?
Creation of this molecule is stimulated with infrared for healing, and is the main energy source for cells in the body.
what is a adenosine tri-phosphate or ATP
These are placed on the patient when conducting e-stim as a modality
What are Electrodes
Ultrasound is considered this kind of thermal modality
What is deep heat
This is the term used when a clinician should NOT perform a certain modality
what is a contraindication
As a result of the fight or flight response, what gets release into the blood to assist with healing?
What are endorphins, growth hormone, healing factors
Cupping can leave these behind
what are Bruises
This mode of e-stim is used to create a muscular contraction, usually for patients recovering from surgery
What is Russian
Ultrasound can be used to get this kind of tissue to be more elastic
What is scar tissue
This modality is applied by using a negative pressure to improve circulation and reduce pain
what is cupping
Term used for muscle growth we hope to achieve with BFR
What is hypertrophy
This modality is used by inserting small needles into a target area
(2 possible answers) This mode is used often in AT rooms to help reduce pain.
What is Pre-mod
-or-
Interferential
This can happen when an AT keeps the transducer in one place on a patient
This modality utilizes several methods of applying pressure to the patient's muscles to achieve a therapeutic effect
We fully occlude this when applying BFR
What are the veins
This category of modalities utilizes low temperatures to achieve a therapeutic effect
what is a cryotherapy
This goal of e-stim is done when making a muscle contract when the patient is unable to achieve full contraction on their own
What is Neuromuscular re-education
What is iontophoresis
This modality utilizes tools to apply pin-point pressure to areas of the athlete to stimulate blood flow and the healing response
What is IASTM or scraping
This is placed on the patient to achieve BFR
What is a tourniquet
This modality uses a high beam light to achieve thermal and therapeutic effects
