Question 6

shortwave diathermy forms blank fields in tissue

Answer 6

magnetic

Question 7

microwave diathermy forms blank fields in tissue

Answer 7

electric

Question 8

blank diathermy is rarely used because it heats very quickly and can burn skin/cause hot spots

Answer 8

microwave

Question 9

shortwave diathermy is basically a radio blank and the patient is like the radio blank

Answer 9

transmitter, receiver

Question 10

the blank regulates shortwave diathermy

Answer 10

FCC

Question 11

shortwave diathermy converts blank current into radio frequency

Answer 11

AC

Question 12

magnetic field produces an increase in blank motion among molecules in shortwave diathermy as well as blank currents

Answer 12

kinetic, eddy

Question 13

current flow of shortwave diathermy is greatest in tissues with the blank resistance such as blank

Answer 13

least, fat

Question 14

current absorption is greatest in tissues with low blank like muscle and blood

Answer 14

impedance

Question 15

shortwave diathermy used today that is used to create thermal and non thermal effects

Answer 15

pulsed SWD

Question 16

blank pulse creates more energy to tissue

Answer 16

wider

Question 17

faster pulse blank in SWD correlates to a greater amount of energy produced into tissue

Answer 17

rate

Question 18

pulse rate is measure in blank

Answer 18

hertz

Question 19

PSWD power/intensity is measure in blank

Answer 19

watts

Question 20

the pulse is blank more than blank

Answer 20

on, off

Question 21

two physiological effects of diathermy

Answer 21

thermal, non thermal

Question 22

charged particles oscillate producing kinetic energy theory for thermal effects

Answer 22

ionic oscillation

Question 23

dipolar or water molecules rotating and producing kinetic energy theory of thermal effect

Answer 23

dipole rotation

Question 24

mild heat causes blank of sensory nerve endings

Answer 24

sedation

Question 25

three non thermal effects of diathermy

Answer 25

repolarizing damaged cells, regularized cell growth, reestablish NA K pump

Question 26

non thermal effect of diathermy improves blank funciton and blank cells in a wound

Answer 26

cell, white

Question 27

diathermy can be used to control blank and blank, and tissue blank

Answer 27

pain, edema, healing

Question 28

diathermy should not be done over blank plates in adolescents

Answer 28

epiphyseal

Question 29

diathermy can reach blank tissues and reflects off bone so it wont cause bone blank

Answer 29

deeper, burn

Question 30

only heat diathermy that can pass heat bone

Answer 30

capacitive plates

Question 31

diathermy equipment is blank

Answer 31

expensive

Question 32

these electrodes create a stronger electric field than magnetic field

Answer 32

capacitor

Question 33

tissues that offer greatest resistance to current flow develop greatest blank

Answer 33

heat

Question 34

fat has blank resistance to current flow of biologic tissues

Answer 34

highest

Question 35

these capacitor electrodes are rarely used and if they are then they are used in areas of low fat

Answer 35

air spaced plates

Question 36

diathermy capacitor electrodes that are more often used and have contact on the skin

Answer 36

pad electrodes

Question 37

diathermy electrodes that has a stronger magnetic field than electric field

Answer 37

induction

Question 38

type of induction electroe that has a flat coil

Answer 38

cable

Question 39

type of induction electrode that has one or more monoplanar coils fixed in a housing for larger or contoured areas

Answer 39

drum

Question 40

the dose of electrode to be used is based on patient perception of blank

Answer 40

perception of heat

Question 41

no perception of heat

Answer 41

dose 1

Question 46

shortwave diathermy delivered by a drum or pad electrode and can treat a large area... heat stays longer in order to do manual therapy

Answer 46

pulsed shortwave

Question 47

shortwave diathermy that creates thermal effects, can be delivered by a drum or pad electrode, can rapidly heat tissue, decay of heat is slow to allow for more time for manual therapy

Answer 47

continuous shortwave diathermy
