Modalities Flashcards
Ultra sound: depth
up to 5cm
Ultra sound: Frequency
1MHz for deeper tissue (up to 5cm)
3Mhz for shallow tissue (1-2cm)
Ultra sound: duty cycle
= on time/ (on time+off time)
eg 20% = 1msec on , 4msec off
lower percentage are for non-heating effects
20%is most commonly recommended for non-thermal
Ultrasound: duration
2-3 times the size of transducer =5 min
longer duration for lower intensity/ lower frequencies
bilik mandi
bathroom
Phonophoresis
Ultrasound to deliver meds
Ultrasound contraindications
active bleeding, decreased temp sensation, decreased circulation, DVT, infection, malignancy, over breast implants, over carotid sinus/cervical ganglia, epiphyseal areas in kids, overs eyes, heart, genitals, over preg bump, over pacemaker, thrombophlebitis, vascular insificianecy
Hydrotherapy tanks: extremity tank
for distal LE / UE
botol
bottle
Hydrotherapy tank: lowboy tank
larger body parts, permits long sitting, wter to midthoracic level,
Hydrotherapy tank:highboy tank
larger parts, permits sitting in chest deep water with hips and knees flexed,
Hydrotherapy tank: hubbard tank
full body emersion, contraindications= unstable BP, incontinence) not excedd 100degF

table
Lumbar traction: supine vs prone
Supine= more separation of posterior structures (facet joints, intervertebral foramin)
Prone: separation of anterior structures (disk spaces)
Lumbar traction: intermittent vs static
Static: for symptoms exaggerated by mvmt
intermittent: joint mobilization for those who cannot tolerate static
