Common sites of pain in polymyositis
Calf mm
Lower back
Appropriate transducer applicator
- Large applicator surface (>10 sq. cm)
- Produces a beam with a broad-based intensity distribution curve across the full diameter of the applicator
- Has an applicator surface large enough to have a low angle of divergence of the sound beam but small enough to maintain contact with uneven small body surfaces
What to check when the pt. has changes in neurological status?
Level of consciousness
What to check when the pt. has changes in cognitive status?
Memory through an interview
Stages of Fracture Healing
- Inflammatory
- Early reparative (soft callus)
- Late reparative (hard callus)
- Remodeling
Stages of Remodeling (Fx Healing)
- Activation phase (activation of osteoclasts)
- Resorption phase (osteoclasts erode the bone and form a cavity)
- Reversal phase (recruitment of osteoblasts)
- Formation phase (osteoblasts will form new bone)
- Quiescence
