25
Q

Heat is transferred from one object or substance to another or
Generated in a substance or tissue

A

Heat transference

26
Q

What’s are the four methods of heat transference

A

Conduction
Convection
conversion
Radiation

27
Q

Transferred by contact ( bath, vapor, packs, sprays)

A

Conduction

28
Q

Transferred by moving currents of heated liquids or gases. (hot air furnace, radiators)

A

Convection

29
Q

Transferred by the passage through the body part by some form of energy ( diathermy- high frequency electromagnetic waves, ultrasound- electrical current creates a mechanical vibration producing acoustic energy)

A

Conversion

30
Q

Transferred by wave motion from an energy source. ( one source of radiant heat is the sun)

A

Radiation

31
Q

Local applications of cold- exp.ice packs

Local application of heat- exp. moist hot pack, heating pad

A

Hydrotherapy procedures

32
Q

Examples of cold application:

Cold foot bath, cold plunge, ice packs, cold gel packs, ice water immersion, ice massage (cryocup-water frozen in cup)

A

Cryotherapy

33
Q

What does RICE stand for

A

Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

34

A

True

You are not suppose to apply frozen gel packs directly to the skin

37
Q

Is the body’s attempt to produce homeostasis.

A

“reaction”

38
Q

A reaction to cold is produced by short vigorous applications of cold water.

How may this be accomplished

A

Ice packs , cold mitten friction, cold wet sheets, cold spray, immersion bath

39
Q
  • Heat produces first vasodilation, the vasostasis
  • Local applications of heat doesn’t penetrate deeply beneath the skin surface and is confined largely to the skin and subcutaneous tissue
  • metabolism is increased by heat, regardless of its duration
A

Are general effects of heat application

40
Q

-increase oxygen absorption, -increased carbon dioxide excretion,-increased blood glucose, -decrease tissue tone, -decrease peripheral white blood cell count, -decrease peripheral red blood cell count
These are all what

A

Heat applications

41
Q

-alleviates pain in chronic conditions, -improve ability to stretch or exercise, -decrease recovery time from exercise, -relax muscles and fascia, -decrease muscle spasms, sedate the client, -&-93 the muscles easier to work with

A

Heat treatments (they help to do all of these things)

42
Q

This is a local application of moist heat. A cloth is wrung from cool water applied to the surface of the skin, wrapped in flannel of another material that will capture the body heat and warm compress.

A

Heating compress (hydrotherapy procedures )

43
Q

An application of a pack involves various procedures in which a considerable portion of the body is enveloped in wet cloths, sheets or blankets for therapeutic purposes.
Exp. hot blanket pack, hot hip and leg pack, wet sheet wrap
Mist heat packs kept in the roaster, hot packs made of Teri cloth

A

Packs

44
Q

The classification is very broad and encompasses procedures in which the body is immersed in water, light, heated air, or vapor.
Exp. steam baths , electric light bah, sauna, starch bath, herbal bath, vinegar bath, sun bath

A

Baths

45
Q

Or a contrast bath, is among the most effective procedure that exists in hydrotherapy. When a short, hot application causes the peripheral blood and lymph vessels to fill and then short cold application empties and fills them again, a significant impact is made on the entire circulatory system, Not just vessels in the skin

A

Alternating hot and cold

46
Q
  • whirlpool

Is a partial immersion bath in which the water is agitated to produce light pressure on the body

A

Baths

47
Q
  • provides application of dry heat radiated through a bed of rocks in an enclosed wooden environment
