Soft tissue
100
List at least 2 uses of NMES (neuromuscular electrical stimulation).
What is muscle reeducation, reduction of spasticity, delaying atrophy, and muscle strengthening.
100
Which type of traction uses alternate bouts of no tension?
What is intermittent traction.
100
In what direction does sequential compression apply mechanical pressure?
What is distal to proximal
100
What type of current of does Iontophoresis utilize?
What is low-voltage direct current.
100
List 3 benefits of soft tissue mobilization.
1. reduce mm spasm 2. promote relaxation 3. improve blood flow 4. increase venous drainage 5. pain reduction 6. decr tone 7. elongate mm fibers/soft tissue
200
When using NMES, which muscle fibers are recruited first?
What are large diatmter type II motor nerves. Type II are depolarized before Type I when using NMES because Type II cross sectional area provides less resistance to current flow and are more superficial.
200
What are the outter fibers of an intervertebral disc?
What is the annulus fibrosus.
200
How does compression combined with elevation decrease edema?
What is changing the pressure gradient to move fluids from a high pressure gradient to a low pressure gradient
200
Prof. Coles has supraspinatus tendonitis. To deliver a dosage of 40 mA/min how long would, Prof. Coles wear an iontophoresis patch?
What is 12 hours. 24 hours for delivery of 80 mA/min
200
What STM technique has pressure applied perpendicular to the direction of fibers.
What is cross friction massage
300
What type of interference occurs when two currents are perfectly out of phase resulting in a wave intensity of zero.
What is deconstructive interference.
300
What is the diagnosis for the narrowing of a foramen?
What is stenosis.
300
Which 2 body systems are most affected by intermittent compression?
What is 1. the venous system 2. the lymphatic system
300
Prof. Coles is using Dexamethasone and lidocaine for inflammation. Which side of the patch would you place the medication?
What is the negative pole.
300
Trigger point release is also referred to as...
What is ischemic compression.
400
True of False. Interferential currents are able to penetrate deeper tissues due to interference currents with little patient discomfort.
True
400
When the nucleus pulposus "bulges" into the fibers of the annulus fibrosis it is called....?
Disc protusion or prolapse
400
Give 3 contraindications to intermittent compression.
fracture, adverse affects to pressure (compartment syndrome), PVD, arteriosclerosis, edema 2* to CHF, Ischemiscvascular disease, gangrene, dermatitis, DVT, thrombophlebitis, acute pulmonary edema
400
How deep can iontophoresis penetrate the below the skin?
What is 6 - 20 millimeters (.6cm - 2cm)
400
When should effleurage be used during treatment?
What is at beginning and conclusion of treatment. Can be used after petrissage to "calm down" irritated nerves
500
What is the is pulse frequency for Low Frequency TENS
2-4pps
500
What are 4 identifying factors make a patient a good candidate lumbar traction.
1. age older than 30 years 2. No neurological deficit involvement 3. patient is not involved in manual labor 4. Fear-avoidance belief questionnaire work score of less than 21
500
Give 4 benefits of intermittent compression.
1. decr edema 2. enhanced blood flow 3. enhanced ROM 4. decr pain
500
What unit is used to measure medication dosage delivered via Iontophorsis?
What is milliamperes per minute (mA/min) Current amperage (mA) x Treatment duration (min) = mA*min
500
In what direction do you perform manual lymphatic drainage (MLD).
What Proximal to distal to proximal. *MUST* couple with compression and exercise to be beneficial. -TED hose.
