What are contraindications for pool/aquatic therapy?
100
US duty cycle for chronic condition.
What is 100% duty cycle or continuous?
200
The percentage of "on time" of US output.
What is duty cycle?
200
Use of this can prevent damage to the the crystal in the transducer head and help sound waves travel more efficiently into the tissue.
What is a coupling agent (gel)?
200
The reason for not choosing WP debridement for a wound with a large amount of granulating tissue or a partially healed skin graft.
What is non-specific debridement?
200
The function of velocity, surface area, and direction of movement of an immersed objects.
What are the hydromechanics of water?
200
In US, a high frequency results in less of this. However a lower frequency results in more of this.
What is depth of penetration?
300

Pain, Erythema, Edema, Heat, Loss of Function

What are the 5 cardinal signs of inflammation?
300
Patient's report of pain, achiness, excessive heat during US treatment.
What are reasons to decrease intensity or stop US treatment?
300
Hubbard, Low Boy, High Boy, Extremity
What are types of whirlpools.
300
The pressure exerted on an immersed object that helps control soft tissue and joint edema.
What is hydrostatic pressure?
300
Water exercises can be made more challenging with use of webbed gloves to increase this water property.
What is resistance?
400

What is MHz and 20% Duty cycle?
400

Removal of gross contaminants, removal of toxic debris, dilute the bacterial count, increase local circulation, soak and gently remove bandages, decrease wound pain, decrease fever, accelerate healing.

What are the purposes and indications of whirlpool therapy for wound care.
400
Due to this property of water, waist level water activity results in 50% offloading to LE joints.
What is buoyancy?
400
4 cm/sec
What speed do you move the US transducer.
500
Moving the transducer without pause can prevent the phenomenon where gas bubbles have grown relatively large and collapse violently under pressure .
