This physical assessment element is essential before performing any modality
What is sensation testing
This is the appropriate number of layers for moist heat
What are 6-8
This thermal modality causes vasoconstriction
cryotherapy
Causing this space to increase in size is the main goal of supine traction
What is the intervertebral foramen
The heat from thermal US last approximately this long after treatment:
What is 8-10 minutes
These are the 5 cardinal signs of inflammation
pain, redness, warmth, loss of function, edema
These 2 modalities uses conduction to produce heat
What are moist heat pack and paraffin
This is the 3rd stage felt during ice massage
aching
This cervical or lumbar traction hold/rest time ratio is most beneficial for reducing disc bulging
what is 3:1 or static
This is the mechanism of heat exchange during ultrasound
What is conversion
This forms during the remodeling stage of healing
What is scar tissue
This is the temperature at which extreme heating causes irreversible damage
112 F
Soft tissue cooling results in a ________ in elasticity of the tissue
decrease
This angle of hip flexion is optimal for intervertebral separation during supine lumbar traction
What is 70-90 degrees
Changing this parameter moves ultrasound from nonthermal to thermal
What is duty cycle
This test checks for local circulation
What is capillary refill
This soft tissue property increases after the use of a heating modality
What is extensibility or elasticity
This modality can produce the most intense localized cold
What is ice massage
This cervical or lumbar traction hold/rest ratio is most beneficial for improving facet joint mobility
what is 1:1
Cell membrane function is improved in this type of US:
What is pulsed
This is an endogenous neurotransmitter
serotonin, dopamine, endorphins or enkephalins
This area of the brain regulates body temperature
What is the hypothalamus
These are 4 indication for the use of cryotherapy
What is Pain, Edema, acute Inflammation, muscle guarding, muscle spasm
These are 4 contraindications for performing spinal traction
What is spinal infection, Osteoporosis, Fusion, spinal CA, fracture
Ultrasound that is too intense can result in a burn of this tissue:
What is the periosteum
