Cryotherapy & Thermotherapy

Question 1

Define inflammation

Answer 1

Complex physiological response to vascularized tissues to stressors including pathogens, chemical irritants,
and tissues damage

Question 2

Inflammation is _______ to cause, tissue type, or location

Answer 2

Nonspecific

Question 3

Immune response system is _____

Answer 3

Specific

Question 4

When does inflammatory response start

Answer 4

Immediately after injury and last several days

Question 5

What are S&S

Answer 5

Redness 
Swelling
Pain
Increased temp
LOF

Question 6

What is the goal of inflammatory response

Answer 6

Limit blood loss and remove debris

Question 7

Define Vasodilation

Answer 7

Increase blood flow to area to bring WBC (heat&redness)

Question 8

Define increased capillary membrane permeability

Answer 8

Allows WBCs to leak through walls into intracellular space and plasma protein to leak out (swelling)

Question 9

Define phagocytosis

Answer 9

WBCs remove damaged tissue (neutrophils arrive first and are chemotactic)

Question 10

How long does formation of a clot take?

Answer 10

12-48 hrs

Question 11

What are the three types of tissue

Answer 11

Labile cells
Stabile cells
Permanent cells

Question 12

What are Labile cells

Answer 12

Have EXCELLENT regenerative capacity(skin, bone marrow, respiratory etc.)

Question 13

What are stabile cells

Answer 13

Have LESS regenerative ability (liver, kidneys, pancreas, etc.)

Question 14

What are Permanent Cells

Answer 14

Have NO regenerative ability( caradic cells, CNS nerves, eye nerves, etc.)

Question 15

What is Fibroplasia

Answer 15

Scar formation

Question 16

What stage is fibroblastic repair

Answer 16

Development of new tissue (fibroblasts form type 3 collagen)

Question 17

What stage is the maturation-remodeling

Answer 17

Type 3 collagen is replaced with type 1 which makes the fibers stronger

Question 18

How long does the maturation-remodeling stage take?

Answer 18

From a couple months to years

Question 19

What are the three stages of healing

Answer 19

Inflammatory response
Fibroblastic Repair
Maturation-Remodeling

Question 20

What is Wolff’s Law

Answer 20

Tissue and bone remodel along lines of greatest stresses

Question 21

If inflammation is necessary why do we control it

Answer 21

Prevent it from becoming more swollen

Question 22

Is there a why to totally stop inflammation?

Answer 22

Yes by using corticosteroids

Question 23

Why do we want to stop inflammation

Answer 23

to prevent further damage

Question 24

Define cryotherapy

Answer 24

The application of cold for therapeutic purposes to decrease both superficial and deep tissues temps

Question 25

Define thermotherapy

Answer 25

The application of heat for therapeutic purposes to increase superficial tissues temp

Question 26

What are the 4 ways of energy transfer

Answer 26

Convection
Conversion
Radiation
Conduction

Question 27

What is conduction

Answer 27

Transfer of heat through DIRECT CONTACT between a hotter and cooler areas ex: ice and heat pack

Question 28

What are corticosteroids

Answer 28

It blocks tissue from swelling used for c-spine injury

Question 29

What is keloids

Answer 29

Abnormal scar tissue

Question 30

What is convection

Answer 30

Transfer of heat by MOVEMENT OF AIR OR LIQUID between regions of unequal temp

Ex: whirlpool/fluidotherapy

Question 31

What is radiation

Answer 31

Radiation is the exchange of heat energy produced by ELECTROMAGNETIC waves

Results in largest amount of heat transfer

Question 32

What is conversion

Answer 32

Energy change from one form to another

Does not apply to superficial cold or heat

Ex: Ultrasound
