Question

match the terms in column a with the appropriate description in column b.
column a
18._____ radiation
19._____ conversion
20._____ conduction
21._____ convection
22._____ electrical muscle stimulation (ems)
23._____ ultrasound
24._____ paraffin bath
25._____ massage
26._____ traction
column b
a. heating through direct contact with a hot
medium (heating pads)
b. heating indirectly through another medium
(whirlpool bath)
c. heating transferred through space from one
object to another (infrared light)
d. heating through other forms of energy
(ultrasound)
e. heat modality that uses wax to warm distal
extremities
f. high - frequency sound wave; one of the deepest
penetrating heat sources available
g. uses electrical stimulation to re - educate
injured muscles, strengthen healthy muscles,
and slow the effects of atrophy in a given area
h. continuous, intermittent, manual, or
gravitational weight application
i. effleurage, petrissage, deep friction,
tapotement, and vibration

Explanation:

• Radiation: Heat transfer through space (e.g., infrared light), which matches option C.
• Conversion: Heating via other energy forms (e.g., ultrasound), so it's D.
• Conduction: Direct - contact heating (heating pads), corresponding to A.
• Convection: Indirect heating through a medium (whirlpool bath), which is B.
• Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS): Uses electrical stimulation for muscle - related purposes (re - educate, strengthen, slow atrophy), so G.
• Ultrasound: High - frequency sound wave (deep - penetrating heat), which is F.
• Paraffin Bath: Wax - based heat modality for distal extremities, so E.
• Massage: Involves techniques like effleurage, petrissage etc., which is I.
• Traction: Involves continuous, intermittent etc. weight application, so H.
