111
Using Therapeutic Modalities?
Therapeutic modalities can be an effective adjunct to various techniques of therapeutic exercise. Knowledge of the healing process is critical. A variety of modalities can be utilized by sport first aiders, including: cryotherapy, and massage
112
Classification of Therapeutic Modalities?
Thermal conductive energy. Electrical energy. Electromagnetic energy. Sound energy. Mechanical energy. Energy can be absorbed, refracted, reflected, or transmitted. Energy must be absorbed to produce physiological response.
113
What is Thermotherapy?
Physiological effects of heat depend on type of heat energy applied, intensity of energy, duration of exposure, and tissue response. Heat must be absorbed to increase molecular activity.
114
Desired Effects of thermotherapy?
Increased collagen extensibility; decreased joint stiffness; reduce pain; relief from muscle spasm; reduction of edema and swelling; increased blood flow.
115
Physiological Effects of Heat?
Increases extensibility of collagen Pain relief Muscle spasm Assists with healing process
116
What is pain relief in terms of Physiological Effects of Heat? (Gate control mechanism)
Activates gate control mechanism Gate Control Mechanism: The nervous system telling you that you have pain Rubbing it has sensory nerves that go to the pain and it focuses on the rubbing. So the brain feels sensation over pain
117
What is muscle spasm in terms of Physiological Effects of Heat?
Increased blood flow reduces ischemia
118
What is Assists with healing process in terms of Physiological Effects of Heat?
Raises tissue temperature, increases metabolism resulting in reduction of oxygen tension, lowering pH, increasing capillary permeability and releasing bradykinins and histamine resulting in vasodilation Parasympathetic impulses stimulated by heat are also believed to be a reason for vasodilation
119
Transmission of Thermal Energy happens by?
Conduction Convection Radiation
120
What is conduction?
Heat is transferred from a warmer object to a cooler one. Dependent on temperature and exposure time. Temperatures of 116.6°F(47 °C) will cause tissue damage, and temperatures of 113° F (45 °C) should not be in contact with the skin longer than 30 minutes. Examples include moist hot packs, paraffin, ice packs, and cold packs.
121
What is convection?
Transfer of heat through movement of fluids or gases. Temperature, speed of movement, and conductivity of the part impact heating. Example: whirlpools.
122

132
Special considerations for Whirlpool Bath?
Must be careful with full-body immersion Proper maintenance is necessary to avoid infection As volume of body part immersion increases, temperature should decrease. Safety is a major concern -Electrical outlets Contraindicated for acute injuries due to gravity dependent position
133
What is cryotherapy?
Used in first aid treatment of trauma to the musculoskeletal system When applied intermittently w/ compression, rest and elevation it reduces many adverse conditions related to inflammation and the reactive phase of an acute injury
134
Cryotherapy relies on? & why?
Conduction Degree of cooling depends on the medium, length of exposure, and conductivity. At a temperature of 38.3°F (3.5°C) muscle temperature can be reduced as deep as 4cm. Tissues with a high water content are excellent conductors. Most common means of cold therapy are ice packs and ice immersion. Wet ice is a more effective coolant due to the energy required to melt ice. * Hunting response. - Measured temperature change. - Does not represent a change in circulation.
135
Physiological Effects of Cold? (6)
Vasoconstriction Blood viscosity Decreases extent of hypoxic injury to cells Decreases metabolic rate and vasoconstriction decreases swelling associated w/ inflammatory response Decreases free nerve ending excitability and peripheral nerve. Decreases muscle spasm.
136
What is Vasoconstriction?
Reflex action of smooth muscle due to sympathetic nervous system and adrenal medulla
137
What is Blood viscosity?
Increases with extended cooling
138
What is Decreases extent of hypoxic injury to cells?

139
What is Decreases free nerve ending excitability and peripheral nerve?
Analgesia caused by raising nerve threshold.
140
What is Decreases muscle spasm?
Muscle becomes more amenable to stretch as a result of decreased GTO and muscle spindle activity
