History of Physical Therapy Flashcards
T/F Rehabilitation is primarily focused on two important aspects of clinical interventions:
- Validation, measurement, and assessment
- Quantification of the improvements during the therapeutic process

Lacks a unified theory to explain the different treatments.
Lacks integrative taxonomy that simultaneously explains and links the therapeutic agents, the physical impairments, and the activities involved in improving the physical sequels.

Identification in the Historical Views in Physical Therapy Practice
- A human being is a machine.
- It is defined as “a system of parts that operate or interact like a machine, transmitting forces, motion, and energy to one another.”
Mechanism
2 Categories of mechanism
- Automaton therapy
- Cyborg therapy
Automaton Therapy was developed during the _____________
17th century
Identify the therapy.
For what is the heart, but a spring; and the nerves, but so many strings, and the joints, but so many wheels, giving motion to the whole body.” Hobbes (1994)
- It presents the human being comprising traditional physical mechanisms.
Automaton therapy
Automaton therapy is divided into 4 treatment methods namely:
Natural physical therapy
○ Kinesiotherapy
○ Traditional orthopedic therapy
○ Singular therapies
T/F. Automaton therapy
- utilizes physical elements originate in nature without the intervention of human beings
● It requires technology

Identification of natural therapy:
Sun is as source of vitamin D
Heliotherapy (sun)
Identification of natural therapy: Seawater is good for lungs
Thalassotherapy (seawater)
Identification of natural therapy: Still used for wound treating, ROM and relaxation
Hydrotherapy (running water)
Identification of natural therapy: Heat for relaxation and dec pain
Balneotherapy (thermal and mineral water)
Identification of natural therapy: Use climate to know the effects of a certain disease
Climate therapy (coastal climate)
Identification of natural therapy: Still used as a superficial heating modality for relaxation and dec pain
Peloid therapy (mud and sludge)
What therapy has
The therapeutic effects are based on the movement recovery of a dysfunctional mechanism.
- It attempts to restore the anatomo-physiological balance of the body part/s.
Kinesiotherapy
The agent is the person who ________
Is doing the exercise
6 Examples of kinesiotherapy & their uses:
Stretching
■ For tightness
○ Strengthening
■ For weakness
○ Joint flexibility
■ For ROM
○ Aerobic exercise
■ Resolve cardiovascular problems
○ Massage
■ For relaxation of muscles
○ Passive and active movement
■ Related to joint flexibility
This therapy Focuses on correcting and avoiding deformities, such as substituting for or replacing the mechanical function.
- The goal is to improve the dysfunctional mechanism.
