Question 2

Which of the following statements about Fluidotherapy is true?

Accepted Answer

A)  Heat transfer with Fluidotherapy occurs via thermal conduction from the cellulose material to the superficial tissues. 
B)  Some people may be able to tolerate higher temperatures using Fluidotherapy versus other heating modalities because it is dry heat. 
C)  One disadvantage of Fluidotherapy is that a patient must hold a limb still during the treatment in order to maximize the therapeutic benefits. 
D)  The recommended temperature range of Fluidotherapy is much lower than that recommended for a hot whirlpool treatment.
