Whole body vibration therapy is a _____ exercise modality, while standing on the platform.
active
passive
high intensity
Whole body vibration requires more research to prove its effectiveness and establish proper parameters.
How does whole body vibration work?
It stimulates the body's natural reflex; "muscle spindles".
It stimulates the body's adrenal glands
It stimulates increased blood flow
Name at least one benefit a patient gains from whole body vibration?
Improves muscle strength.
Loss of body weight
Greater cognition
Whole Body Vibration is beneficial for what type of diseases?
Cancer
Neurodegenerative diseases
HIV
All of the following are part of the healing process of a fractured bone EXCEPT:
Inflammation
Contraction
Soft callus
Hard callus
What are the two types of bone growth stimulation?
LIPUS and NMES
Continuous Ultrasound and PEMF
LIPUS and PEMF
Continuous Ultrasound and NMES
A non-union is a fracture that?
Has recently occurred, usually less than 7 days
Does not heal within 3 to 9 months
Has complete cessation of biological bone healing
None of the above
Stress fractures sites are a contraindication for low intensity ultrasound (LIPUS)?
Low intensity ultrasound (LIPUS) should not be used on a pregnant woman’s abdomen, low back and ankles?
Low intensity ultrasound (LIPUS) is more effective when applied late in the healing process.
What is affected by the HIVAMAT?
Muscles
Blood vessels
Connective tissues
Skin
All of the above
Is HIVAMAT used for speed healing and edema draining?
HIVAMAT uses electrostatic attraction and friction to produce mechanical vibrations in the body which can be used for wound healing.
HIVAMAT is best used on moist skin
The HIVAMAT is invasive for the body cavities
The HIVAMAT was manufactured from which country
Europe
Russia
Africa
Germany
USA
What are the precautions for ESWT?
Pregnancy
Open sores
Neuropathy
Could ESWT help those who suffer from chronic tendon pain?
ESWT is an invasive treatment for plantar fasciitis?
ESWT in an invasive treatment for plantar except:
Bone non-union
Coagulapathy
Malignancy at treatment site
Treatment length of ESWT is based on the number of pulses per treatment?
PT and PTA could use ESWT modality to treat patients in the US?
Drying Needling Therapy is the same as acupuncture?
What is a trigger point in dry needling?
irritable, hard “knots” within a muscle
soft tissue deep to muscle
capsular structures
When should DN and Acupuncture not be performed on pregnant women?
During the first trimester of pregnancy
During the second trimester of pregnancy
During the third trimester of pregnancy
Can Physical Therapist Assistants perform DN treatment?
What is the difference between dry needling and acupuncture?
In acupuncture needles are placed along meridians throughout body. With dry needling, needles are placed at local area.
In acupuncture needles are placed far from meridians throughout body. With dry needling, needles are placed at a far area.
Magnetic field strength is express in Gauss (G) or Tesla (T)?
Magnet therapy can help with symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis.
What are the advantages to using magnetic therapy for chronic or acute pain?
It is noninvasive and relatively inexpensive when compared to other treatment options
It is solely responsible for curing all pain
Research shows that magnet therapy has the best results with pregnant women
It can be used with pacemakers whereas other pain management treatments can not
Does stacking magnets make them stronger?
No, you cannot stack magnets together as it will not work properly as having a single magnet.
Using two magnets together would be the same as having one magnet of their combined size. For example, if you stacked two 10mm diameter x 2mm thick magnets on top of each other you would have effectively created a 10mm diameter x 4mm thick magnet, essentially doubling the magnets strength and pull.
Yes, the magnetic field generated by any magnet is always strongest at either pole. The magnetic force is equally as strong at both the north and south pole.
Magnet Therapy can be use on patients such as?
Pregnant women to alleviate low back pain therefore reduce complication during birth.
Patients with pacemaker as it do not inference with the function of the device.
Young children to increase blood flood therefore increase tissues healing.
None of the above, they all are contraindication.
In Magnet Therapy, there is one standard parameter of application for all patients.
