- precontemplation
- contemplation
- preparation stage
- action stage
- maintenance stage
describe each stage of the trans-theoretical model of change
precontemplation- not ready to change
contemplation - intention to start engaging within 6 months
prepreparation- not yet engaging in activity but preparing for it like buying a gym membership or new clothes
action- exercising for less than 6 months
maintenance- consistent for greater than 6 months

what is cognitive behavior therapy used to treat
to decrease anxiety by helping pt’s identify signs of stress like nail biting, helping determine patterns of behavior/triggers, and encouraging the use of stress management techniques to use at the first signs of anxiety.
What are the top three anxiety meds on the NPTE
Alprazolam/xanax
Diazepam, valium

what are common ways to use function NMES
to reduce shoulder subluxation, reduce foot drop during gait, with exercise to maintain mobility
When using functional NMES to reduce shoulder subluxation, what current should be utilized, where should the electrodes be placed, and what should the ramp up and down time be
biphasic current, posterior deltoid and supraspinatus, 3 seconds each
When using functional NMES to reduce foot drop during gait, what current should be utilized, where should the electrodes be placed, and what should the ramp up and down time be
biphasic current, proximal anterior tib, 0-1 seconds
What is the primary nerve stimulated during FNMES to reduce foot drop during gait
deep peroneal nerve
What is a K level in regards to prosthetics and amputations.
a K level is a rating system used by medicare to indicate a person’s rehab potential, which is used to determine prosthetic potential
What are the K levels and description in order

1 - household ambulator
2 - limited community ambulator
3 - community ambulator
4 - active adult, athlete, or child

What does Power mean in research
power is the chance or percentage that a researcher will find significant result or effect in a sample.
Power is set to 0.80 which is considered acceptable
What parameters would you use on a TENS unit to help relieve acute pain
50-150 Hz or pps for frequency
50-100 microseconds/duration
Is low rate tens used for an acute or chronic pain issue
chronic, it will irritate an acute one
What parameters would you use low rate TENS to reduce a chronic pain issue
below ten Hz for frequency
200 or more microseconds
When should you use continuous or 100% duty cycle during an ultrasound
increase blood flow, deform scar tissue, heat tight contractile units. Chronic conditions.
When should you used 50% duty cycle during an ultrasound
tissue healing, improving fluid dynamics, and paid modulation. acute to subacute conditions
When should you use 20% duty cycle during an ultrasound
to improve fluid dynamics and resolve swelling. Acute conditions.
What intensity would you set the ultrasound too for an acute condition
0.5-1.25 w/cm
What intensity would you set the ultrasound too for a subacute condition
0.75 - 1.5
What intensity would you set the ultrasound too for a chronic condition
1.5 - 2.0+ w/cm2
