PHYSMOD: 1st Shifting Flashcards
TRUE OR FALSE: The critical angle of ultrasound application is 30 degrees
False
must be 15 degrees
TRUE OR FALSE: Compared to US, the depth of penetration of acoustic energy in human tissues from shockwave therapy is more superficial
False
TRUE OR FALSE: The pulse duration in shockwave therapy is extremely long to induce physiologic effects
False
TRUE OR FALSE: Acute injuries are treated with shockwave therapy to facilitate healing
False
TRUE OR FALSE: Shockwave therapy causes localized microtrauma
True
TRUE OR FALSE: Application of ultrasound near the ends of long bones among children is discouraged.
True
TRUE OR FALSE: The continuous mode of ultrasound is preferred if the goal of treatment is to decrease pain.
True
TRUE OR FALSE: You will select the pulsed mode if the indication is to accelerate tissue healing.
True
TRUE OR FALSE: The frequency of ultrasound is greater than the frequency audible to the human ear.
True
TRUE OR FALSE: Non-thermal effects can also occur with continuous mode of ultrasound
True
TRUE OR FALSE: The depth of penetration is more superficial when using 1MHz compared with 3MHz
False
TRUE OR FALSE: Shockwave therapy has no thermal effects
True
TRUE OR FALSE: Ultrasound is produced via direct piezoelectric effect
False
TRUE OR FALSE: The speed with which the US transducer is moved between 2 and 8 cm/sec does not alter its effects
True
TRUE OR FALSE: Attenuation of US is greater when using higher ultrasound frequencies
True
TRUE OR FALSE: The plumbium zirconium titanate (PZT) is the most commonly used piezoelectric material because it is least
costly and most efficient
True
TRUE OR FALSE: To achieve the thermal effects of ultrasound, the continuous mode is selected
True
TRUE OR FALSE: Ultrasound generally reaches more deeply and heats smaller areas than superficial heating agents
True
TRUE OR FALSE: If the goal of treatment is to accelerate tissue healing, the continuous mode US is chosen for thermal effects
False
TRUE OR FALSE: Hematoma is usually seen after shockwave therapy
False
TRUE OR FALSE: Ultrasound is not ideal to treat muscles because of its relatively low absorption coefficient
True
TRUE OR FALSE: The final intensity in ultrasound for thermal effects is dependent on the patient’s report of mild warmth
True
TRUE OR FALSE: Reflection of US accounts for about one-half of its attenuation
False
TRUE OR FALSE: The intensity in shockwave therapy is expressed in W/cm2
False
