CRYOTHERAPY HIGH YIELD

Question 1

what are the examples of thermal energy?

Answer 1

conduction
convection
radiation
conversion

Question 2

cryotherapy has localized cooling that facilitates responses like?

Answer 2

vasoconstriction
decreased: 
     metabolic rate
     decreased inflammation
     decreased pain

Question 3

this type of therapy is used in which heat is transferred from skin to cold modality until temperatures are equal?

Answer 3

cryotherapy

Question 4

this type of tissue acts as an insulator?

Answer 4

adipose tissue

*if increased, increase treatment time

Question 5

affect of cryotherapy on superficial tissues and deeper tissues?

the affect of ice pack?

Answer 5

superficial tissues cool rapidly then rate of cooling slows and levels off

deeper tissues cool slower and lesser extent compared to superficial tissues

20 minute ice pack decreases muscle temperature 7 degrees Fahrenheit at depth of 2 cm

Question 6

what paradigm do we use to treat acute inflammation?

Answer 6

PRICE

Question 7

how does cold suppress inflammatory responses?

Answer 7

reduced release of inflammatory mediators

decreased prostaglandins

decreased capillary permeability

Question 8

what does cold not promote?

Answer 8

removal of edema but it does limit formation of edema

Question 9

what is the impact of cryotherapy on blood flow?

Answer 9

decreased blood flow in the skin like in the superficial vasoconstriction of blood vessels

Question 10

what is the impact on neural tissue by cryotherapy? what does this specifically interrupt?

Answer 10

cold
burning
achy
numbness

pain spasm cycle via cooling of muscle spindles

*cooling of nerves slows neural impulses

Question 11

what is cryokinetics?

when is applied?

Answer 11

cold and motion via combination of cold application and active exercise

cold is applied until analgesia then more exercise to facilitate recovery inorder to prevent loss of function

Question 12

what are the indications of cryotherapy?

Answer 12

limit of edema formation
reduce pain
facilitate muscle relaxation
limit secondary hypoxic tissue injury

Question 13

what are the contraindications of cryotherapy?

Answer 13

cold urticaria
cold intolerance
raynauds disease
cryoglobulinemia
paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria 
cold. agglutinin disease

Question 14

what are the precautions of cryotherapy?

Answer 14

hypertension
thermoregulatory disorders
over a superficial wound
over an open wound
over an area of poor sensation
in a young or older individual

Question 15

these cold modalities treat focal or localized areas?

Answer 15

ice pack

ice message

Question 16

what responses does thermotherapy facilitate?

Answer 16

decreased pain
vasodilation
increased metabolic rate
increased inflammation

Question 17

what is the effect of thermotherapy on deep and superficial tissue?

Answer 17

little effect on deeper tissue like muscles and joints

increase superficial tissue like the skin like 1-2 cm depth with therapeutic effects at 102-112 degree Fahrenheit

Question 18

what is the impact of thermotherapy on blood flow?

Answer 18

vasodilation of capillaries
decreased fluid viscosity
increased permeability of local tissues
not warranted during the inflammatory phase***

Question 19

thermotherapy is not warranted during what phase?

Answer 19

inflammatory phase, could extend into the acute and subacute inflammatory stages and apply 2-3 days after acute injury

Question 20

what is the impact of thermotherapy on neural tissue?

Answer 20

increased rate of chemical reactions and cell metabolism with increased neural impulses

sensory and motor fun is enhanced

decrease mechanical pressure on nociceptive fibers to decrease pain

Question 21

what are the indications of thermotherapy?

Answer 21

decrease:
joint stiffness
muscle spasm
pain

increase:
blood flow
elasticity of tissues like ligaments, tendons and fascia

Question 22

what are the contraindications of thermotherapy?

Answer 22

acute injuries
impaired circulation
thrombophlebitis 
patients with tumors
open wound
closed infection
coronary heart disease

Question 23

this type of superficial tissue modality is the most common?

Answer 23

moist heat pack with Terry cloth used as a barrier

Question 24

this type of superficial tissue modality is used with warm water in the whirlpool that permits the heat around the entire limb?

Answer 24

warm water immersion

Question 25

this type of superficial tissue modality is used as a dry warm whirlpool modality?

Answer 25

fluidotherapy commonly for wrist and hand

Question 26

intermittent compression is used to facilitate what responses?

Answer 26

decrease edema
increase blood flow
decrease pain

Question 27

this type of compression is used as a pneumatic device that inflates sleeve around the joint or limb

reduces edema and swelling

mech pressure forces fluids within venous system from distal to proximal

external pressure forces fluids to go from high pressure to low pressure

Answer 27

intermittent compression

Question 28

what are the indications of intermittent compression?

Answer 28

lymphedema
post acute traumatic edema
chronic edema
prevention of DVT after surgery

Question 29

what are the contraindications of intermittent compression?

Answer 29

compartment syndrome
fractures
peripheral vascular disease
DVT
local superficial infection
local dermatological infection

Question 30

what is the max pressure and treatment time of intermittent compression?

Answer 30

50-80 mmHg

20-30 minutes
