Exam 3 Flashcards
Thermal physiological effects
Increased collagen extensibility, decreased pain, decreased spasm, decreased edema, improved blood flow
Modalities include
Thermal, electrical, electromagnetic, accoustic, mechanical
Thermotherapy includes ___ and should not be used _____
Hot packs, paraffin, whirlpools.
In the acute phase of unjury
Cryotherapy
Vasoconstriction, dec. cellular metabolism. Ice packs, massage and whirlpools/baths
Electrical modalities physiological eff. And methods.
Stem causes pain modulation, muscle contraction, would healing.
Neuromuscular e stem, micro current, iontophoresis. Little objective evidence of benefits!
Electromagnetic energy
Shortwave diathermy & low level laser
Shortwave diathermy
Electrical current produces a radio wave that can be absorbed by the body. Phys effects same as heat
Low level laser physical eff
Improves circulation, increased collagen prod, decrease inflammation
Ultrasound phys eff of thermal and non thermal
Thermal: same as heat
Non: decrease inflammation improve circulation
Mechanical modalities
Traction, intermittent compression, massage
Traction
Elongation of spine/ soft tissue. Improves circulation alleviates impinged nerves and pain from disc problems
Intermittent compression
Use of air or water in sleeve to increase external pressure, decreasing inflammation
Phase components of rehab.
Acute care, range of motion, strength intensive, neuromuscular control
Pharmacology
Study of drugs and their effects on living organisms
Pharmacokinetics
Method drugs are absorbed, distributive, metabolized, eliminated
Inunctions, ointments, pastes, plasters
Inunctions: oil based, ointments: water based, pastes: fat based, plasters: nonfat based
Bioavailability
How much of a drug can be absorbed
Efficacy
Capability to produce a specific effect
Potency
Dose of drug necessary to get therapy ethic effects
Livers role
Drugs broken down into inactive compounds- metabolism
Exercise does what to absorbtion
Decreases oral absorbtion and increases intramuscular and subcutaneous absorbtion
Administer
Hand out single dose
Long term control of asthma
Corticosteroids, beta antagonists
Narcotics derived from
Opiates. For pain. Is a highly controlled substance.
Non narcotic pain relief
Acetaminophen. Hard on liver controls fever
Acetylsalicylic acid
GI reaction. Reye’s Syndrome: brain damage in small children
Antimetics
Nausea/vomiting
Performance enhancing drugs
Stimulants, narcotics (pain relief), beta blockers (improves steadiness), diuretics, anabolic steroids
Talus fracture
Extreme dorsiflection
Plantar fasciitis causes, s&s and management
Poor running tech, change in shoes, excessive pronation. Pain in morning, heel pain. Orthotics, heel cup, stretching.
Jones fracture
Fracture at base of 5th metatarsal. Pain on outside of foot. Management: immobilization, surgery
Lisfranc fracture
Fracture/dislocation/sprain of mid foot caused by twisting with axial loading. Deformity and swelling. Management: internal fixation
Turf toes
Hyper extension of the great toe. Control with ice and modalities. Rigid sole
Sesamoiditis
Irritation of sessom is bones at the great toe often caused by turf toes. Control inflammation, surgery
Ankle and lower leg
Most common type of injury in athletics
Talicrural joint
Plantar/dorsiflexion
Subtalar joint
Inversion, eversion, supination and pronation
