    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.
