Can you do TENS using a clinic machine? Why or why not
Yes, but you would need to set the parameter to match a TENS unit
100
List three precautions or contraindications with this modality
Cardiac pacemakers Implanted stimulators (phrenic nn or urinary bladder stimulators) Over carotid sinuses in neck Uncontrolled BP (hyper/hypo-tension) PVD, Thrombophlebitis, Pregnancy
100
What makes IFC premodulated?
The machine will cause the interference in the machine and uses a Bipolar electrode set up to deliver the stimulation
100
Is this a primary modality for acute edema? and why
Yes. Because the polarity negative to positive will drive the ionic change. Albumin is found in acute edema and it's negatively charged.
100
What is the quantity of electric charge measured in? Units
Coulombs
200
Would you use TENS for muscle re-education? Why or why not
No. Because there is a better option
200
In what instance and use would you want a short ramp time or no ramp time? and Why?
FES. You want an almost immediate response
200
What is the best Beat frequency for Opeate Release Protocol
1-10 Hz
200
TRUE or False. FES falls under this modality
False. It falls under NMES
200
In using HVPC for wound treatment what charge do you want on the active electrode if there is an infection present?
Negative
300
List the options that you have for TENS set up besides conventional set up?
Acupuncture like mode Burst Mode Brief intense mode
300
What is the frequency and pulse duration recommendations for MUSCLE RE-EDUCATION. According to the Amanda's PPT lecture
Frequency: 300-600 microseconds Pulse duration: 35-55 pps
300
What does "vector scan" refers to when using IFC
It refers to the movement of the interference pattern or concentration of IFC.
300
What are the four applications for this modality
Muscle atrophy/re-education Pain management Wound management Edema
300
What will be an automatic fail in this practicum next week?
Changing intensity when the unit is in the off mode or in pause mode
400
This modality should not be used for chronic or acute edema. True or false?
True
400
What is the pulse duration and frequency recommended for strengthening using this modality
200-700 microseconds and 30-85 pps
400
What are the three typical carrier frequencies associated with IFC and how are they used?
4000-4100 Hz Gate theory protocol 2500 Hz Opiate release protocol 5000-5100 Hz Nerve block protocol
400
Using HVPC improperly or for a prolonged period can cause the accumulation of charge at what electrode?
Active or Cathode electrode
400
Name the three types of currents studied in this unit of e-stim
DC= Direct current AC= Alternating Current and PC= Pulsed Current
500
Is this the preferred modality treatment for a wound? If it is what are the parameters, If it's not what is?
No and HVPC
500
Name the five applications for NMES
Muscle Re-ed Minimize Atrophy Strengthening ROM/Tissues extensibility Spasticity management FES
500
What is the best Beat frequency set for gate theory pain management
80-150 HZ
500
Describe the wave associated with HVPC and describe the current
Twin peak monophasic pulsed current waveform and high peak intensity and short pulse duration (pg. 229 Michlovitz)
500
What is the most commonly used medication used with Iontophoresis
Dexamethasone
