22
Q
  1. _____________ therapy involves a low intensity electrical current to create vibrations designed to help reduce edema and promote tissue healing
A

a. Deep oscillation

23
Q
  1. True or False: During ultrasound applications, the total area covered should be two to three times the size of the ultrasound transducer head for every 5 minutes of exposure.
A

t

24
Q
  1. True or False: The law of Grotthus–Draper states that the less energy is absorbed by superficial tissue, the more is available to be transmitted to the underlying tissue
A

F

25
Q
  1. True or False: The cosine law states that the maximum effects of energy occur when it is applied to the body at a right angle.
A

F

26
Q
  1. True or False: Refraction occurs when a wave strikes an object and is bent away from the material.
A

T

27
Q
  1. True or False: The inverse square law states that the intensity of radiant energy striking the tissues is indirectly proportional to the square of the distance between the energy and the tissue.
A

F

28
Q
  1. True or False: The higher currents used with interferential treatments lower skin resistance, thus eliciting a stronger response with lower current intensity.
A

T

29
Q
  1. True or False: Ice bags applied with a single layer of dry elastic wrap between the skin and the iceberg produce a lower skin temperature than ice bags used with a wet elastic wrap.
A

F

30
Q
  1. True or False: When using ice immersion or a cold whirlpool, the lower the temperature the shorter the duration of immersion.
A

T

31
Q
  1. True or False: Thermotherapy leads to vasodilation and increased circulation that can move oxygen and nutrients into the area to promote healing and remove debris and waste products from the injury site.
A

32
Q
  1. True or False: Diathermy uses high-frequency sound waves to elicit thermal and nonthermal effects in deep tissues.
A

a. False

33
Q
  1. True or False: Pulsed ultrasound is used primarily to elicit thermal and nonthermal effects in elevating deep tissue temperature.
A

F

34
Q
  1. True or False: Inferential stimulation can be used for muscle contraction, gate, and opiate pain control by using similar patterns.
A

T

35
Q
  1. True or False: The introduction of anti-inflammatory drugs through the skin with ultrasound is called iontophoresis.
A

F

36
Q
  1. True or False: The physiological effects of local heat include increased metabolism, analgesia, and decreased pain.

38
Q
  1. True or False: Cupping treats myofascial adhesions by creating negative pressure.
A

T

39
Q
  1. What are three contraindications of cryotherapy?
A

a. Uticaria, hypertension, lack of sensation

40
Q
  1. What are three physiological effects of cryotherapy and thermotherapy
A

a. Cold: Decreased metabolism, nerve conduction, and pain perception
b. Heat: Increased metabolism, analgesia, decreased pain

41
Q
  1. What is the gait control theory of pain?
A

a. The gate theory of pain hypothesizes that stimulating large-diameter neurons in the spinal cord act as a counterirritant, which blocks pain perception. Because of the inhibition of nerves and muscle spindle activity, muscles in spasm are relaxed, breaking the pain–spasm cycle and leading to a pain-free, effect.

42
Q
  1. What is cryokinetics? How could cryokinetics be used to treat an ankle injury?
A

a. Cryokinetics is a specific method of combining cryotherapy with movement for the purpose of increasing range of motion. The analgesic aspects of cryotherapy are used to decrease pain and muscle spasm and to allow for increase range of motion in a therapeutic rehabilitation program. For an ankle injury, the patient could first complete 20 minutes of cryotherapy, such as a cold whirlpool. Once completed, the patient should perform safe active range of motion exercises, such as spelling the alphabet with the foot.
