Study Notes
Cold Treatment
- Stored at a temperature of 25°F
- Treatment time ranges from 10-20 minutes
- Can be reapplied every 1-2 hours
Temperature Settings
- Hot pack: temperature of 160-170°F
- Hot pack: treatment time of 20-30 minutes
- Hot pack: requires 6-8 layers of toweling
- Hot pack: peaks heat in the first 5 minutes
Ultrasound Characteristics
- Intensity: Refers to the amount of energy delivered per unit area, measured in W/cm².
- Dependence on Treatment Goal: Intensity is dependent on the treatment goal, requiring varying energy levels.
- Frequency: Measured in cycles per second (Hz), with common frequencies used being 1 MHz or 3 MHz.
- Duty Cycle: Calculated by dividing the On Time by the sum of On Time and Off Time, indicating the ratio of ultrasound emission to total time.
- Pulsed or Continuous: Ultrasound can be delivered in either pulsed or continuous modes, depending on the specific application.
