JUST KEEP SWIMMING Flashcards
Iontophoresis - agent for muscle or joint pain
Salicylates
Iontophoresis - scar tissue, keloids, mm spasm
Calcium chloride
Has a negative polarity so would be applied beneath the negative pole (cathode)
Iontophoresis - tx inflammation and for analgesic purposes
Lidocaine
Has a positive polarity so would be applied beneath the positive pole (anode)
Iontophoresis - dermal ulcers and wounds
ZInc oxide
Positive polarity so placed beneath positive pole (anode)
Iontophoresis - Dexamethasone
Anti inflammatory
Negative polarity
Iontophoresis - what to use with someone who has myositis ossificans
Acetate
- goal is that it will absorb the Ca deposits
Iontophoresis - what is often used for treating scars and adhesive capsulitis
Iodine
Convection
Whirlpool
Gain or loss of heat resulting from air or water moving in a constant motion across the body
Conversion
Heating that occurs when nonthermal energy (mechanical, electrical) is absorbed into tissue and transformed into heat
Conduction
Direct contact
Hot packs are stored in what temp
158-167 degrees
Heat vs cold with nerve conduction velocity
Heat = increase nerve conduction velocity Cold = decrease it
Both heat and cold will increase pain threshold
Mode of traction for acute condition
Static
How many degrees of cspine flex is appropriate when targeting lower cspine using traction in supine
25-30 degrees!
Type of traction that is the most specific and controlled
Manual!
Intermittent traction with split table - table should be split when?
When the traction force approaches its max force
How many degrees of cervical flexion are most appropriate for targeting the upper cervical spine for traction
upper cervical (OA and AA) - 0 to 5 degrees!
C3-C4 10 to 20 deg
C5-C7 25 to 35 deg
Treating an L4 disc herniation with traction - which position?
Prone - force of 25% (strong enough to stretch soft tissue and treat disc protrusion)
50% would cause actual separation of the vertebrae
1MHz freq US comapred to 3MHz
1MHz used for 5cm depth
3MHz used for 1-2cm depth
Length of tx when using US
5 minutes for every area that is 2-3 times the size of the transducer face
How many cycles after shock with AED
5 cycles
Kehrs sign
spleen
Min width of hallway for two wheelchairs to pass
60 in
36 in for one wc
Max ramp grade for wheelchair ramp
8.3%
How high should a sink be off the ground
32 in
PA to lumbar spine would be to improve
Extension
Pronation of the feet is associated with
Valgus stress at the knee and IR of the tibia
Cessation of walking in boys with MD
Typically by age 10-12
Age 14 at the latest
Collagen fibers reorient in response to stresses placed on connective tissue - which stage
Chronic
Collagen formation and granulation tissue development occurs at an increased rate
Sub acute
During ROM, the pt has pain synchronous with tissue resistance
Sub acute
During ROM testing the pt has pain with mvmnt before tissue resistance
Acute
L4 dermatome
Medial side of great toe
Anterior knee
S1 dermatome
Lateral side of foot
Pinky toe
Posterior/Lateral thigh
L5 dermatome
Majority of foot/toes (not the medial big toe or the pinky toe)
Sole of the foot
L4 reflex
Knee
