Therap. Modalities
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The following INDICATIONS are for which modality? *NERVE IMPINGEMENT, *HERNIATED/PROTRUDING DISC,SUBACUTE JT. INFLAMMATION,SPONDYLOLISTTHESIS,JT.HYPOMOBILITY,PARASPINAL MS. SPASM, DEGERNERATIVE JT. DISEASE, OSTEOPHYTE FORMATION? | TRACTION |
| The following Therapeutic effects are for which modality? *JT Distraction, *Soft Tissue stretching, Reduction of disk protrusion, ms. relaxation, jt. mobility. | TRACTION |
| Applies mechanical forces to body to separate jt. surfaces & decreases pressure. Force can be applied manually by PT/PTA or mechanically by machine. Affects many of body's systems & requires ongoing monitoring and reassessment of tx. parameters | TRACTION |
| Electrotherapy: Which modality has following ther. effects? ms. relaxation, decrease muscle spasm, neuromuscular ctrl, decrease accessory ms. use, decrease pain | BIOFEEDBACK |
| What modality of electrotherapy? Technique used to facilitate skeletal ms. activity. Stimulation of an innervated ms. occurs when electrical stimulus of appropriate intensity and duration is administered 2 corresponding peripheral nerve. | BIOFEEDBACK |
| CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR? When motion is contraindicated,jt.instability,tumor,pregnanct,acute imflamm. response, acute pain, osteoporosis, fracture | TRACTION |
| What current is where electrode orientation should be placed parallel to ms. fibers along line of pull of ms. group. Can be mono,bi,quad or multipolar in arrangement. | RUSSIAN CURRENT |
| What current has stimulation with an avg. peak current amplitude of 100 mA, 50 bursts per sec, w/an on/off time ratio of 10/50. Popular training protocol suggests tx. of 10 evoked contractions with a 10 sec., contraction & 50 sec rest period btw 10 contra | RUSSIAN CURRENT |
| Widely used for acute & chronic pain management. Includes obstetrics,TMJ,post-op pain. Main therapeutic effects include relief through gate ctrl theory or endogenous pain ctrl. theory. Portable & indicated for home use. | TENS |
| PTA uses bipolar electrode placement over target ms. Interrupted or surged current utilized w/range of 20-40 pulses per sec. & an on time of 6-10 sec. followed by off time of approx. 50-60 sec. in order 2 avoid immediate motor fatigue. Tx. time is ___? | NMES/ 15-20 min |
| Waveforms-characterized by polarity continuously changes from + to - w/change in direction of current flow. Biphasic,symmetrical or asymmetrical. characterized by waveform that is sinusoidal in shape,used in ms retraining,spasticity, stimulation of den.ms | ALTERNATING CURRENT |
