Energy - 1 Flashcards
form of therapy used in rehab that produces a soft tissue change in soft tissue with light, water, temp, sound, electric
electrophysical agent
microtrauma vs macrotrauma as it relates to injury and inflammation
macrotrauma causes more secondary injury
process by which energy of various forms travels through space… all substances emit this energy above absolute zero
radiant
quantum theory uses these and are packets of energy
photon
higher frequency, the blank the photon energy
higher
theory where energy is transmitted by oscillatory motion in the form of electromagnetic waves and composed of electric and magnetic fields that vary over time and are perpendicular to each other
electromagnetic wave theory
shorter wavelength means a blank frequency
higher
these waves can travel through a vacuum
electromagnetic
principle where energy absorbed must be sufficient so as to stimulate the absorbing tissues
arndt-shultz principle
too much energy absorbed my impair blank of tissues
normal function
law if energy is not absorbed by the superficial tissue, then it will penetrate to deeper tissues
law of grotthus-draper
law wheere maximum amount of absorption of radiant energy occurs when the source is perpendicular to the absorbing surface
cosine law
law where intensity of the radiation striking the surface varies inversely with the square of the distance from the source
inverse square law
law where intensity and duration of dose of radiant energy are inversely proportional
bunsen roscoe law of reciprocity
increasing amount of energy absorbed by the patient
dosage
