Question | Answer |
Non-thermal US parameters for (healing or phonophoresis) | 20% pulsed, .5W/cm2, 5 min |
Goal of thermal US | 4 degree Celsius temperature rise to prepare for stretching |
Heating deep tendon/lig for stretching (4 degr C) | Depth 3-5 cm, F = 1 MHz ---
Intensity = 1.0 W/cm2, 6 min
OR
Intensity = 1.5 W/cm2, 4 min |
Heating deep muscle for stretching (4 degr C) | Depth 3-5 cm, F = 1 MHz ---
Intensity = 1.5 W/cm2, 13 min
OR
Intensity = 2.0 W/cm2, 10 min |
Heating superficial tendon/lig for stretching (4 degr C) | Depth <2.5 cm, F = 3 MHz ---
Intensity = .5 W/cm2, 4 min |
Heating superficial muscle for stretching (4 degr C) | Depth <2.5 cm, F = 3 MHz ---
Intensity = 1.0 W/cm2, 6 min |
Goal of treatment - F = 1 MHz, Intensity = 1.0 W/cm2, 6 min | Heating deep tendon/lig for stretching (4 degr C) |
Goal of treatment - F = 1 MHz, 20% pulsed, .5W/cm2 ; 5 min | healing or phonophoresis (non-thermal) |
Goal of treatment - F = 1 MHz, Intensity = 1.5 W/cm2, 4 min | Heating deep tendon/lig for stretching (4 degr C) |
Goal of treatment - F = 3 MHz, Intensity = .5 W/cm2, 4 min | Heating superficial tendon/lig for stretching (4 degr C) |
Goal of treatment - F = 3 MHz, 20% pulsed, .5W/cm2, 5 min | healing or phonophoresis (non-thermal) |
Goal of treatment - F = 1 MHz, Intensity = 1.5 W/cm2, 13 min | Heating deep muscle for stretching (4 degr C) |
Goal of treatment - F = 3 MHz, Intensity = 1.0 W/cm2, 6 min | Heating superficial muscle for stretching (4 degr C) |
Goal of treatment - F = 1 MHz, Intensity = 2.0 W/cm2, 10 min | Heating deep muscle for stretching (4 degr C) |
