physical agents of OA

24
Q

give examples of superficial heat agents

A

1- radiant heat= infrared

deep heat agents

26
Q

with the treatment of OA we can?

A
  • Modulate pain
  • Reduce or eliminate inflammation
  • Increase rate of healing
  • Modify muscle tone
  • Increase connective tissue extensibility
27
Q

what are the contraindication for ice?

    are ?
A

precautions of heat agents

31
Q

what are the primary, secondary, and tertiary effects of low-level laser therapy??

A

Primary Effects
- Similar to effects of Infrared therapy

Secondary Effects
- Cell proliferation, protein synthesis, growth factor secretion, neurotransmitter modification

Tertiary Effects
- System effects; Increase immune response, stimulate bone healing
