Positioners used in wound care are devices that elevate, transfer, place, support, or help change the position of an entire body or individual parts. They utilize air, air-permeable fabrics, fiber fill, foam, gel, or a combination of these components.
What is the definition of reverse fault? A fault along the Earth's crust is identified by the corresponding type of stress that caused its formation. In geology, a stress is defined as the amount of force exerted on a unit of surface area. Generally, shear stress forms transform faults, compressive stress creates reverse faults and tensional stress produces normal faults.
1 Reverse faults happen in areas where the rocks are pushed together (compression forces) so that the rocky crust of an area must take up less space. 2  The rock on one side of the fault is pushed up relative to rock on the other side. 3  In a reverse fault the exposed area of the fault is often an overhang.
