Q

the pulse is blank more than blank

A

on, off

21
Q

two physiological effects of diathermy

A

thermal, non thermal

22
Q

charged particles oscillate producing kinetic energy theory for thermal effects

A

ionic oscillation

23
Q

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

A

dipole rotation

24
Q

mild heat causes blank of sensory nerve endings

A

sedation

25
Q

three non thermal effects of diathermy

A

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

26
Q

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

A

cell, white

27
Q

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

A

pain, edema, healing

28
Q

diathermy should not be done over blank plates in adolescents

A

epiphyseal

29
Q

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

A

deeper, burn

30
Q

only heat diathermy that can pass heat bone

A

capacitive plates

31
Q

diathermy equipment is blank

A

expensive

32
Q

these electrodes create a stronger electric field than magnetic field

A

capacitor

33
Q

tissues that offer greatest resistance to current flow develop greatest blank

A

heat

34
Q

fat has blank resistance to current flow of biologic tissues

A

highest

35
Q

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

A

air spaced plates

36
Q

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

A

pad electrodes

37
Q

diathermy electrodes that has a stronger magnetic field than electric field

A

induction

38
Q

type of induction electroe that has a flat coil

A

cable

39
Q

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

A

drum

40
Q

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

A

perception of heat

41
Q

no perception of heat

A

dose 1

42

46
Q

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

A

pulsed shortwave

47
Q

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

A

continuous shortwave diathermy
