PT_THERAPIES (D)Online version Word wheel about therapies and treatments in physiotherapy by Katarzyna Anna Nowak A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Starts with A the maximum value of a current, typically measured in millamps; also known as intensity. Starts with B the upward force that makes you feel lighter when submerged in water. Starts with C a type of therapy involving the application of extremely cold temperatures for rehabilitation. Contains D The duration of the pulses of an electric wave is referred to as its pulse _______ Starts with E an instrument (e.g. a pad) used to transmit electric current to the patient's body during electrotherapy. Contains F any object that can be filled with air, allowing it to float. Starts with G a ______ test is used to assess the way a person walks. Starts with H ________ pressure is the pressure exerted by water at rest due to the force of gravity. Starts with I an electrotherapy technique involving the use of low-frequency stimulation of nerves and muscles for pain management after an injury or trauma. Starts with J a goniometer is an instrument used to measure the range of motion in a ________ Starts with K A buoyant rectangular board used when you want to swim only with your legs. Contains L a buoyancy _____ is a piece of equipment designed to assist with buoyancy of a patient's limb or full body during hydrotherapy. Starts with M electrodes should not be placed over ________ tissue (e.g. cancerous tumours). Contains N a flat rubber shoe used for swimming, especially underwater; also known as a flipper. Contains O a ______ agent is a water-based gel or lotion used to reduce friction during ultrasound treatments Contains P a __________ bath is a therapeutic bath in which all or part of the body is exposed to the forceful currents of hot water. Contains Q another name for pulse rate, i.e. the number of pulses that occur in one second. Contains R a flow of electricity resulting from the movement of electrically charged particles in one direction. Starts with S the property of a liquid that causes its top layer to act like a membrane is known as ________ tension. Starts with T an ultrasound ______, also called a probe, is a device that produces sound waves that bounce off body tissues creating echoes. Starts with U _________ therapy refers to the use of sound waves to relieve pain and promote tissue repair. Starts with V resistance of a fluid (e.g. water) to flow, which can help increase the value of acquatic exercises during hydrotherapy. Starts with W the state of having little or no weight when submerged in water. Contains X The effect of magnetotherapy is achieved by creating a magnetic ______ through the patient's body. Contains Y _______ involves the use of water and its properties for therapeutic purposes. Contains Z a unit of frequency equal to one cycle or pulse per second.
