Q

Heat exchange Conduction

A

-The exchange of heat between two surfaces that are in direct contract with each other

26
Q

Heat exchange Convection

A

-Heat transfer in a gas or liquid by the circulation of currents from one region to another

27
Q

Heat exchange Conversion

A

-No externally applied heat- energy courses through a substance to cause heat

28
Q

Negative reaction to treatment occur because..

A
  • a hot or contract treatment
  • a treatment of any temperature that is too long
  • too short of incomplete
  • person was chilled prior
  • weak or tired person
  • too intense or not used to hydrotherapy
  • room temp
  • client nervous
  • client under the influence
  • too long or incorrect treatment
29
Q

Negative reactions….

A
  • shivering

Small-thin; hot treatments

Large-stalky; cold treatment

52
Q

Age

A

-Children and elderly people ; shorter duration and less extreme temp.

53
Q

General health

A
  • Active, athletic people; respond quickly to any stimuli, great extremes in temp are not required
  • particularly fit: respond positivity to all properly admin. treatments
54
Q

Dosimetry

A

The accurate determination of the appropriate dosage of treatment

  • area
  • temperature
  • static or dynamic
  • speed of temp
  • duration
  • frequency and time of day

  • post-treatment activities
55
Q

Retrostasis

A

-The diversion of blood from the surface of vessels of the skin to the interior of the body

56
Q

Derivation

A

-The action of drawing blood from one are, to the surface of a distal area, in order to relieve congestion elsewhere or to stimulate blood flow to the area being treated

57
Q

What is Fomentations
