Scenario:

A swimmer recently diagnosed with multidirectional instability of the shoulder reports to the athletic training clinic for treatment. You are treating this athlete with therapeutic ultrasound.

Question 1

BOOKMARK

Which of the following treatment goals can be achieved using therapeutic ultrasound?

Select all that apply.

Enhance soft tissue healing and repair

Increase vitamin D production

Reduce muscle spasm

Modulate pain

Enhance lymphatic drainage

Manage myofascial trigger points

Increase protein synthesis

Manage intermittent claudication

Promote neuromuscular reeducation

Scenario:

A swimmer recently diagnosed with multidirectional instability of the shoulder reports to the athletic training clinic for treatment. You are treating this athlete with therapeutic ultrasound.

Question 2

BOOKMARK

In what position should you place the athlete to most effectively treat her supraspinatus tendon and long head of the biceps tendon with the ultrasound waves?

Prone with shoulder abducted to 90°

Seated with shoulder flexed to 90° and internally rotated

Seated with shoulder slightly extended and internally rotated

Supine with shoulder flexed to 90° and externally rotated

Prone with shoulder abducted to 150° and externally rotated

Scenario:

A swimmer recently diagnosed with multidirectional instability of the shoulder reports to the athletic training clinic for treatment. You are treating this athlete with therapeutic ultrasound.

Question 3

BOOKMARK

What treatment parameters are needed to effectively treat her supraspinatus tendon and long head of the biceps tendon?

Select all that apply.
