Intro to PAMS, EBP, Therex Flashcards
What is the difference between tonic vs phasic muscle fibers?
Tonic Muscle Fibers
- fire first
- responsible for jt arthrokinematics
- adapted for aerobic activity
Phasic Muscle Fibers
- higher speed of contraction
- greater force of contraction
- quicker to fatigue
What coordination relies on tonic?
anaerobic
What is EBP?
the integration of critically appraised research results with the clinical expertise, and the client’s preferences, beliefs and values
What are the functions of OTPF?
- Describe our focus on occupation and the process by which occupational function and engagement are achieved
- Outlines our Domains and the process of evaluation and intervention.
- Utilized by both internal and external audiences
- Describes issues related to the performance
What are the types of therapeutic modalities?
Thermal:
- heat
- cold
Electromagnetic:
- eletrotherapy
- diathermy
- UV & infrared light
Mechanical:
- compression
- traction
What are the physiological responses to Cyrotherapy?
- ↓ blood flow/tissue metabolism
- ↑ threshold for pain
What are the physiological responses to Thermotherapy?
- Facilitate tissue healing/relaxation
- ↓ spasms/pain
- ↑ blood flow/tissue extensibility
What are the physiological responses to electrotherapy?
- Strengthening/relaxing muscles
- ↓ pain/edema
- Neuromuscular reeducation
- ↑ tissue and wound healing/blood flow
