These are the three phases of inflammation.
What are Inflammation, Proliferation, & Maturation
100
This is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a given weight of material by a given number of degrees.
What is Specific Heat
100
This disease is an immediate contraindication to heat as a modality.
What is MS?
100
This is the speed at which you should move the US head.
What is 4 cm/second?
100
Four stages patient experiences with cold.
What are Intense Cold, Burning, Aching, Analgesia (numb)
200
These are the five cardinal signs of inflammation.
What are heat, redness, swelling, pain, and loss of function.
200
This substance has one of the lowest specific heats in the body and is therefore a concern for some physical agents such as Diathermy.
What is Fat?
200
This is the temperature of the hydroculator.
What is 160-165 degrees F?
200
These are three effects that Ultrasound accomplishes.
What are: increase BMR, decrease pain, decrease muscle spasm, increase NCV, increase circulation, and increase tissue extensibility.
200
These are two physical agents that use conversion to turn non-thermal energy into heat.
What are Diathermy and Ultrasound?
300
This activates the coagulation system to stop bleeding.
What is the Hageman Factor
300
These are the five methods of heat transfer:
What are Conduction, Convection, Conversion, Radiation, and Evaporation.
300
This protocol for Parafin consists of 10-12 consecutive dip immersions before wrapping in towel, or wax paper and keeping it on for 30 minutes.
What is Dip Immersion with Wrapping?
300
This occurs as US travels through tissue and becomes further way from its source.
What is Attenuation?
300
This is the protocol for US you should use on a patient who recently tore her MCL and complains of pain on her medial knee.
What is pulsed, 20%, 3 MHz, and .5-1.0 W/cm2
400
Histamine is released by these three types of cells.
What are mast cells, basophils, and platelets.
400
This is known as temperature cycling with alternating vasoconstriction and dilatation.
What is the Hunting Response?
400
Heat is often used as a modality as it increases this 2 m/sec for every 1 degree Celsius.
What is NCV (Nerve Conduction Velocity)?
400
This is the ratio of spatial peak intensity to the spatial average intensity.
What is Beam Non-Unformity Ratio (BNR)?
400
This is a type of US that puts medication through the skin and into the tissues.
What is Phonophoresis?
500
These are three things that inflammation accomplishes in the body.
What are: 1) Restore function by eliminating the pathological or physical insult 2) Replace the damage tissue 3) Promote normal tissue regeneration
500
This contraindication to cryotherapy causes you to have blood in your pee.
What is Paraoxysmal Cold Hemoblobinuria?
500
These are the four reasons that heat is used in rehab.
What are: Controlling pain Increase soft tissue extensibility - joint ROM Increase blood circulation Accelerate healing
500
This is the SATA when you are performing pulsed US at 20% and 1 W/cm2.
What is .2 W/cm2
500
This is the US protocol you would want to use if a patient had a joint contracture in their hip.
What is Continuous, 1 MHz, 1-2.5 W/cm2
