PT Flashcards
Change in muscle length and spindle tension
GTO’s
Deep sensory proprioceptors
GTO’s, pacinian, ruffini
change in jt. position and vibration
pacinian
joint end range, possible heat(as deep proprioceptor), skin stretch/pressure(superficial sensory receptor)
ruffini
superficial sensory pressure and touch
meissners & pacinian
superficial sking stretch/pressure
ruffini, merkle
4 stages of healing
hemostasis, inflammatory, proliferation, remodeling
3 stages of healing
inflammation, repair, remodel
AKA: Repair Phase• Angiogenesis - new capillaries• Fibroblasts, chondroblasts, osteoblasts• Extracellular matrix
proliferation phase of healing
AKA: Maturation Phase• Scar contraction– Can lead to joint adhesion and loss of motion• Decrease of blood vessels• Type III collagen replaced by Type I• Collagen aligns along stress lines• Cross-linking continues
remodeling phase
ability of a material to store a charge
capacitence
ohm’s law-
voltage=current x resistance V=IxR
Direct Current (DC)• AKA: Galvanic• Net charge– Positive and negative electrode– Charge builds up in the tissue
monophasic current
Alternating Current (AC)– Flow of electrons changes direction regularly• Changes polarity
biphasic current
Minimum amplitude needed to depolarize a nerve fiber when phase duration is infinite
rheobase
