diplopia - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔double vision
Iontophoresis - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The process of introducing water-soluble products
into the skin with the use of electric current
Ultrasound frequency - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔• 1 MHz = 2-3 cm depth
• 3 MHz = 1-2 cm depth
Ultrasound Duty Cycle - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔goals: tissue temp= 100%, continuous
nonthermal= 20%, pulsed (The typical pulse ratios of pulse duration time to pulse
rest time are 1:1 and 1:4) 5 to 10 mins
Ultrasound Intensity - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Continuous (thermal) Normally set btw .5
to 2.0W/cm2
,Pulse (nonthermal) .5 to 075W/cm2 w 20% duty cycle
ultrasound therapy - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A deep heating modality using high-energy
sound waves that is most effective for heating tissues or deep joints and is
performed by a physical therapist
the application of sound waves to a body area to increase circulation and flexibility
as well as to decrease pain and muscle spasms in that area
Rine test - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔bone/air conduction hearing
peroneal nerve - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Motor: Foot Dorsiflexion, Inversion, Eversion
Muscle: Tib. Anterior, Toe Extensors, Peroneals
Sensory: Anterior Leg, Dorsum of Foot
Disorder: Fibular Head Fracture
orthosis - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔externally applied brace or splint used to prevent or
correct deformities
congestive heart failure (CHF) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔the failure of the heart to pump
efficiently, leading to excessive blood or fluids in the lungs, and systemic
circulation.
,LDL (low density lipoprotein) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔"bad" cholesterol
High ratio of lipid to protein
Contributes to cardiovascular disease
Normal 100 mg/dL
HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔good cholesterol
Normal, more than 60 mg/dL
Syme's amputation - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔surgical removal of the foot at the ankle joint
with removal of the malleoli
transtibial amputation - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔below knee amputation
prolonged hip and knee flexion should be avoided
residual limb would place the knee in extension
congenital limb deficiency - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Failure of a limb formation or partial
limb formation in utero may lead to amputation
Ray resection amputation - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔removal of a toe and all or part of the
corresponding metatarsal

, Valting gait - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Heel elevating during stance in combination w knee
and hip extension.
Raise the pelvis in order to to clear the contralateral limb during the swing phase
Antalgic gait - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔involved step length is decreased in order to avoid
weight bearing due to pain
trenderlenberg gait - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔drop of pelvis when lifting leg opposite to
weak gluteus medius
O2 saturation (SaO2) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔95-100%
Below 90% it may be a sign of hypoxia. If blood oxygen saturation levels fall to
88% or lower, seek immediate medical attention,
Cardio Biomarkers - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔chemicals are measured in the blood as
evidence of a heart attack
Prothrombin Time (PT) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔test of the ability of blood to clot
Serum Electrolytes - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔To evaluate fluid and electrolyte status.
sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium
serum cholesterol - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Cholesterol found in blood
