Cryotherapy Flashcards
ice can cause pain when it becomes noxious by stimulating these pain fibers
a delta, c fibers
using ice limits secondary injury by blank the blank for oxygen in damaged tissues
decreasing, need
ice can decrease pain by blank nerve impulses and temporarily close the blank
slowing down, spinal gate
four stages of icing a body part (CBAN)
cold, burning, aching, numb
initially, blank will occur with the application of ice to slow down blood flow
vasoconstriction
after vasoconstriction, there will be blank that shows up as red but there will be small white spots called blank so the blank doesnt cool down too much
vasodilation, motteling, core
three therapeutic effects of cryotherapy
hemodynamic, neuromuscular, metabolic
cryotherapy causes an activation of the blank nervous system to cause blank
sympathetic, vasoconstriction
reddening of skin
erytherma
four stages of cold are part of the blank effects of cryotherapy
neuromuscular
cold inhibits blank, small blank
myelinated, fibers
neuromuscular effect of cryotherapy is that it reduces blank by inhibiting the blank
muscle spasm, muscle spindle
muscle strength blank after 5 mins of cooling
increases
ice decreases blank rate
metabolic
three things to think about before doing something
- is this appropriate for impairment/stage of healing
- explain exactly what you’re doing to them and why
- informed consent
