Axillary agents Flashcards
When movement is actively or passively limited due to shortness, spasm,
spasticity, or localized pain, the limiting factor is usually in the agonist pattern.
true or false?
false, antagonist
how can we, loosen or eliminate the limiting factor?
relaxation of the antagonist pattern or by stimulation of the agonist
pattern.
If the limitation factor is spasticity, cold pack applying duration
approximately 20 minutes.
true or false?
true
for distal areas cold technique we apply compression
true or false?
false, immersion
which current is used for reducing spasticity?
surged faradic current
e neurophysiological effect of electrical stimulation to the antagonist of the spastic muscle is explained by?
reciprocal inhibition
- Electrical stimulation takes more time compared to the cold application
true or false?
true
50 sec stim-5 sn relaxation is better
than?
long duration vibration
what is the tonic vibration reflex?
reflex excitation in the vibration-applied muscle, reciprocal inhibition in the antagonist muscle and inhibition of the phasic stretching reflex
what are the purposes of vibration before PNF applications?
stimulating weak muscles and
create contractions,
Achieving relaxation through
reciprocal inhibition by stimulating
the antagonist of the spastic muscle
PNF application in water is?
The Bad Ragaz Method
Water does not exceed the T8-T10 level of the physiotherapist in bad Ragaz method
true or false?
true
what are the indications of Ragaz method?
Neurologic impairment
Pain syndrome
Sensory desensitization
Developmental delay
Orthopedic-rheumatological
conditions
what are the contraindications of the bad Ragaz method?
Fatigue
Acute conditions
Vestibular problems
Thermoregulatory dysfunction
Rings are attached to the neck area, L1-S1 level, and extremities
true or false?
false, l5-s1 level
