class five: modalities Flashcards
what increases with moist heat application
CO
vasodilation
HR
RR
metabolic rate
think of a dog in a hot care
what does metabolic rate mean
the rate in which your body burns calories
what decrease with application of moist heat
muscle activity
BP
blood to the internal internal organs
blood flow to resting muscle
SV
what increase with application of cold pack
joint stiffness
pain threshold
muscle activation
what decrease with application of clod pack
collagen extensibility
blood flow
capillary permability
local metabolism
spaticity
nerve conduction velocity
what is the time for prolonged ice in order to treat spatiscity
25 - 30 min
how can ice treatment create both muscle activation and decreased spaticity
short icing vs prolonged iceing
prolonged ice is use to treat spas
what temp should ice pack be stored
25 F
do we want our skin to be blanchable
yes - if not there is an injury like pressure sore or burn
with prolonged icing do we experience vasodilation or constriction
vasodilation
what should be the temp hot pack are kept
160-170F
how many layers of toweling should we have for hot packs
6-8
when does hot pack heat peak
5 min
how long should hot pack treatment time be
20-30 mins
what temp should cold pack be kept at
25 F
how long should cold pack treatment take
10-20 min
how often can cold pack treatment be places
every 2-3 hours
how many layers is the the terry cloth cover when new
4-6
what are the stages of cold
CBAN
cold
burn
aching
numbness
what are contraindication for superficial thermo modalities
- Arterial disease
- Bleeding or hemorrhage
- Over an area of compromised circulation
- Over an area of malignancy
- Thrombophlebitis
- Impaired sensation or mentation
- Infrared irradiation of the eyes
what is Thrombophlebitis
inflammation of the wall of a vein with associated thrombosis, often occurring in the legs during pregnancy.
Superficial Cryotherapy: Contraindications
- Cold hypersensitivity
- Cold intolerance
- Cryoglobulinemia
- Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria
- Raynaud’s phenomenon
- Over-regenerating peripheral nerves
- Circulatory compromise
what is Cryoglobulinemia
medical condition in which the blood contains large amounts of pathological cold sensitive antibodies called cryoglobulins – proteins that become insoluble at reduced temperatures.
what does pulse freq mean
in 1sec (period of time) how many pulse are there
35
what is more comfotable higher or lower pulse freq
higher is more comfortable - more vibration feeling
what is pulse duration
how long is how long the pulse are lasting
what is more comfortable longer or shorter pulse duration
shorter pulse duration is more comfotable
