Q

What angle would be best to target L5 to S1 during lumbar traction? L3 to L4?

A

L5 to S1 - 45° to 60°

L3 to L4-75° to 90°

17
Q

What angle would you position the neck to target intravertebral space and joint separation at C1-C5? C5-C7?

A

C1-5: 0-5

C5-7: 25-30

18
Q

What is the duration of intermittent mechanical compression for edema reduction?

A

~3:1

45-90on/ 15-30off

19
Q

What is the duration of intermittent mechanical compression to shape a residual limb?

A

4:1

20
Q

How long should you treat a patient with lymphedema with intermittent mechanical compression?

A

Two hours progressing to two three hour sessions daily

21
Q

How long should you treat a patient with traumatic edema with intermittent mechanical compression?

A

Two hours daily

22
Q

How long should you treat a patient with a venous ulcers with intermittent mechanical compression?

A

2.5 hours three times per week progressing to two hours daily

23
Q

How long should you treat a patient with a residual limb edema with intermittent mechanical compression?

A

One hour progressing to three 1 hour sessions daily

24
Q

The active electrode is usually placed ________ in order to produce stimulation effect.

A

Over the treatment site

25
Q

Where electrodes placed for bipolar placement?

A

Equal sized active and disburse of electrodes on the same muscle group or in same treatment area

26
Q

How far apart should active and dispersive electrodes be?

A

The space between the active and disburse of the electrode should be at least the diameter of the active electrode. The greater the space between the electrodes, the last of the current density in the intervening superficial, that’s minimizing the risk of skin irritation and burns. If the penetration causes contraction of undesired muscles move the electrodes closer together.

27
Q

Help, I’m stimulating muscles that are too deep. What can I do?

A

If deep penetration causes contraction of undesired muscles, movie electrodes closer together.

28
Q

What are examples of monophasic currents?

A

Lovall continuous modulations, high Volt post currents

29
Q

Which polarity is set up to surround the injured area and repel edema?

A

Negative

30
Q

Which TENS setting creates a gating mechanism?

A

Conventional high rate TENS

31
Q

Which TENS setting causes stimulation of endogenous opioids?

A

Acupuncture like strong low rate TENS

32
Q

Which TNS setting is used to provide rapid onset, short-term pain relief during painful procedures (wound debridement, deep friction massage, joint mobilization, or passive stretching)?

A

Brief intensity TENS

33
Q

Which electrical modality is typically monophasic, twin peak to pulses of short duration and is used for tissue healing?

A

High-voltage pulse galvanic stimulation

34
Q

Which electrical modality is a polyphasic sinusidal burst that creates muscle contractions?

A

Russian

35
Q

Which electrical modality utilizes constructive and destructive interference and produces a cloverleaf like pattern for electrical stimulation effect?

A

IFC
