A-acetate
I-iodine
D-dexamethasone
S-iodine
what is copper used for in iontiophoresis
fungus (nasty penny)

dermal skin ulcer (think sun screen)
what is hydrocortisone used for in iontiophoresis
msk imflammatory condition
what is tap water used for in iontiophoresis
cools off the area
what is dexamethasone used for in iontiophoresis
anti-inflammatory
what is salicyate used for in iontiophoresis
strains
what is acetic acid used for in iontiophoresis
calcific tendonitos or myositis ossificants
what is lidocane used for in iontiophoresis
soft tissue pain, inflamation
what is hyalurondase used for in iontiophoresis
decrease edema
what is calcium chloride used for in iontiophoresis
skeletal muscle pain spasm
what is magnesium sulfate used for in iontiophoresis
skeletal muscle spasm
how do you decrease muscle activity with biofeedback
electrodes close together, sensitivity low (to decrease cross-talk)
how to you increase muscle activity with biofeedback
electrodes far apart, sensitivity high
conventional TENs
- duration
- frequency
- current amp
delivery of electrical pulses SHORT duration, HIGH frequency, LOW current amp
Acupuncture like TENs
- duration
- frequency
- current amp
delivery of pulse with LONG duration, LOW frequency, MOD current amp
Brief Intense TENs
- duration
- frequency
- current amp
LONG duration, HIGH frequency, MOD current amp
Noxious TENs
high density current and uncomfortable/painful for patient
What TENS setting would you use prior to surgery
brief intense
What TENs would you use to “zap” trigger points
noxious TENS
do you use a positve or negative pole to drive the negative ion into the body
negative (cathode)
what does aquatic therapy do to RR
increases RR
what does aquatic therapy do to vital capacity
decreases vital capacity
what does aquatic therapy do to HR
decreases
