Kinesiotherapy Flashcards
TRACTION CI's include SPINAL Stuff
What is the DEFINITION for KINESIOTHERAPY?
- Therapeutic / Corrective application of PASSIVE / ACTIVE Movements
What’s the RECOMMENDATION for PHYSICAL ACTIVITY?
- At least 150 mins of Moderate-Intensity Physical Activity
- For a week
What are the EFFECTS of PHYSICAL ACTIVITY?
- CNS = Improves mood / cognition
- CVS = INCREASES HR / SV / DECREASES Varicose Veins
- Resp System = Improves minute ventilation / Breath Rate
- Musculoskeletal = Improves MM Metabolism / INCREASES MM Fibre Size / Improves Bone Density + Elasticity of Joint Capsules
What is the CLASSIFICATION of KINESIOTHERAPY?
1) ACTIVE Kinesiotherapy
- Medical Exercises
- Occupational Therapy
- Terrain Treatment = Walking on special pathsin nature
- Suspension / Pulley Therapy
- Specialised Systems for Neuromuscular Re-education
2) PASSIVE Kinesiotherapy
- Massage
- Traction Therapy
- Manual Therapy
- Mechano-therapy
What are the Types of Medical Exercises for AK?
1) General Strength
2) Analytical Exercises
- Osteoarthritis of Knee / Hip Joint
- Peripheral Muscle Paralysis of Radial Nerve = For Extensors of Wrist / Fingers
3) Breathing Exercises
- For Hypostatic Pneumonia (Bed-ridden)
- Airway Obstruction
- Pulmonary Fibrosis
- COPD
- Pneumonia + Bronchitis
4) Corrective Gymnastics = For Scoliosis
5) Underwater Gymnastics
- Paralysis POST-Fracture of LOWER Extremities
- Obesity
6) Balance & Coordination
- Parkinson’s
- Post-Stroke Patient
- Children with Cerebral Palsy
What are the Types of Occupational Therapy for AK?
1) Functional
2) Professional
3) Entertaining = For Severe Disorders
4) Training in activities of Daily Living = Feeding Ourselves / Bathing / Grooming / Homemaking
What does DOSE of TERRAIN TREATMENT, depend on, and what MUST BE MONITORED?
- Surface / Terrain INCLINE
- Distance COVERED
- N.O of Steps
- N.O of Rests
- Duration of Rests
Monitoring = Heart Rate and Blood Pressure
- Both must NOT be MORE than»_space; 20 bpm / mmHg
- Patients w/ CVS & Respiratory Disorders
What are SUSPENSION & PULLEY Therapy?
- Therapeutic Exercises given to INCREASE Range of Motion / MM Strength
- By hanging parts of body to CAGE OF ROCHER via Ropes / Swings
What is SUSPENSION?
- Used to INCREASED Range of Motion of Joints
- Tested by GONOMETRY, measured in Angles
What is PULLEY?
- Used to INCREASED MM Strength
- Evaluated by Manual Muscle Testing (MMT), to test for Muscle Weakness
What are the TYPES of SPECIALISED Neuro-educational / Neurodevelopment TECHNIQUES?
1) System of BOBATH = Suppresses Pathological Synergies / Reducing Spasticity / Educating px
- CNS Disorders
- Stroke
- Traumatic Brain Injuries
- Cerebral Palsy
2) System of KABAT = *Proprioceptive** NM-Facilitation by IRRITATING Proprioceptors Via, Scratching / Stretching of Muscles / Strong Contractions
- Disorders of **PNS*
3) System of VOJTA
- Disorders of **CNS*
- Children with Cerebral Palsy
- Reflex Creeping + Rolling
4) System of PROF GANCHEVA =
- Disorders of **PNS*
- Children with Birth Trauma of Brachial Plexus
What TYPE of Kinesiotherapy is BOTH Active AND Passive?
POSTISOMETRIC RELAXATION
- Relaxation of the MM AFTER Contraction in Isometric Mode
What is the DEFINITION of MASSAGE?
- Mechanical Stimulation by Rhythmic Pressure / Stretching
What are the EFFECTS of MASSAGE?
DECREASES:
- BP / HR
- Pressure + Pulse in Vessels
- Pain + Oedema
- Lactic Acid
- M. Spasm + Cramps / M. Tension
- Scar Tissue / M. Atrophy
INCREASES:
- Endorphins
- Drainage of Lymphatics
- Flexibility + RoM
- Flow of 02
IMPROVES = Stiffness + Tone
What are the 5 MASSAGE Techniques?
1) EFFLEURAGE / GLIDING = Direction of Venous / Lymph Flow
2) RUBBING / FRICTION = Subcutaneous
3) PETRISSAGE / Kneading = Muscles
4) VIBRATIONS = Relaxation
5) TAPOTEMENT / Percussion = Stimulation
6) MANUAL Lymph Drainage
- Breast Cancer = IMPAIRED Drainage, after LN RESECTION
