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
,Page 2 of 58
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
,Page 3 of 58
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

cholesterol
Normal, more than 60 mg/dL
, Page 4 of 58
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
