Question
Answer
What would you increase to achieve Sensory TENS instead of Motor TENS   Frequency  
🗑
Physiological effect of general heat application   Inc: CO, metabolic rate, pulse, RR, vasodilation Dec: BP, blood to internal organs, SV  
🗑
Contraindications to superficial thermotherapy   Dec circulation, malignant tumors  
🗑
Indications for Whirlpool or Hubbard tank   decubitus ulcers, open burns and wounds, postsurgical conditions of the hip, subacute and chronic MSK conditions, RA.  
🗑
Contraindications for Whirlpool   bleeding, cardiac instability, bowel incontinence  
🗑
Precaution/Contraindication to Aquatic Therapy   Unprotected (uncovered) open wounds, unstable BP  
🗑
Physiological effects of general cold application   Dec: metabolic rate, pulse, RR, venous blood pressure Inc: blood flow to internal organs, CO, SV, arterial blood pressure  
🗑
Contraindications to Cryotherapy   Cryoglobulinemia, paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, over regenerating peripheral nerves  
🗑
Contraindications to Contrast Baths   Advanced arteriosclerosis, arterial insufficiency  
🗑
When is continuous US used?   chronic conditions, has thermal effects  
🗑
When is pulsed US used?   acute soft tissue injuries. Has non-thermal effects. Low intensity, pulsed US for wound care.  
🗑
What mode for phonophoresis?   Pulsed: 20%  
🗑
Weight (CS) and %BW (LS) required for soft tissue using traction   CS: 12-15lbs, LS: 25% BW  
🗑
What type of current is used during iotophoresis?   continuous direct current  
🗑
Salicylate   pain relief (-)  
🗑
lithium   gout (+)  
🗑
lidocaine   pain relief (+)  
🗑
acetate   calcium deposits (-)  
🗑
copper   fungal infections (+)  
🗑
magnesium or calcium   muscle spasm (+)  
🗑
hydrocortisone   anti-inflammation (+)  
🗑
iodine   soften scars (-)  
🗑
dexamethasone   anti-inflammation (-)  
🗑
zinc   dermal ulcers (+)  
🗑
Settings, uses for Conventional TENS   (high rate) high frequency (75-120 pps), short pulse width (50-100 microseconds), low intensity. Temporary relief of acute or chronic pain.  
🗑
Acupuncture-like TENS   (strong, low rate). Low frequency, wide pulse width, higher intensities than conventional TENS. Chronic conditions.  
🗑
Brief Intense TENS   high pulse rate, long pulse width. Short term pain relief for painful procedures (i.e. wound debridement)  
🗑
Burst mode TENS   combines characteristics of both high and low rate TENS. Used if patient can't tolerate Low rate TENS.  
🗑
High-voltage pulsed monophasic stimulation   indication: denervated muscles, dec pain, dec edema, wound healing  
🗑
Use of FES w/ innervated muscle   Alternating Current  
🗑
Use of FES w/ denervated muscle   Direct current that is interrupted w/ a long pulse width  
🗑
What is duty cycle. How does it change w/ muscle atrophy?   current "on" time vs. "off" time. Ratio should increase as muscle atrophy increases to prevent fatigue. Min atrophy= 1:1, Severe atrophy 1:5  
🗑
Chronaximetry   the minimal amount of time that a current must be on in order to produce a minimal muscle contraction. The lower the # of milliseconds the greater the nerve's excitability.  
🗑
Indication of denervation on Strength-duration curve   a steep, continuous curve displaced to the R  
🗑
