Test 2: 25 rehab

Question 1

benefits of rehab

Answer 1

pain managment
improve weight bearing and mobility
increase ROM
prevent further injury

Question 2

in the 1st 48 hours after ortho surgery what is recommended

Answer 2

pain managment:
* meds
* laser, TENS, PEMF, acupuncture

PROM
cytotherapy
weight bearing/supported walking

Question 3

PROM should be done —. and helps with —

Answer 3

passive range of motion
10-20 reps 3 time a day
helps improve circulation and flexibility as well as diffuse nutrients to the cartilage via synovial fluid

Question 4

how does cryotherapy work

Answer 4

causes vasocontriction, decreasing local blood flow and inflammatory response and edema

reduces pain- slows nerve conduction, reduces pain theshold

Question 5

hydrostatic pressure from underwater therapy helps with

Answer 5

improves venous and lymphatic return

reduces inflammation and swelling

improves balance: water holds them up

Question 6

how does bouyancy help with underwater therapy

Answer 6

reduced weight, allows exercise with less strain on joint and less pain

Question 7

water up to the hip will be equal to —

Answer 7

38% of normal body weight

Question 8

water up to the stifle will be equal to —

Answer 8

85% of normal body weight

Question 9

water up to the tarsus will be equal to —

Answer 9

91% of body weight

Question 10

water up to the tarsus will be equal to —

Answer 10

91% of body weight

Question 11

resistance of water allows for

Answer 11

strength building and improved ROM

increases sensation and awareness

Question 12

swimming will help with

Answer 12

ROM and eliminates all weight bearing forces

usually good for front legs, depends of dog if they use their back legs

Question 13

land exercises help with

Answer 13

proprioception and balance
stretching
muscle and core strength
ROM

Question 14

laser stands for

Answer 14

Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

Question 15

laser therapy can also be called

Answer 15

Photobiomodulation

Question 16

how does laser work

Answer 16

photons activate mitochondria to make more ATP, that can be used for tissue repair and decrease pain and inflammation

Question 17

laser therpy works for —

Answer 17

improved blood flow
reduces inflammation
releases natural endorphins
pain relief
accelerates wound healing

Question 18

massage can help with

Answer 18

increases circulation
improve ROM
decrease edema
decrease muscle spams and pain
reduce adhesions

Question 19

when not to use laser

Answer 19

eyes
growth plates
cancer
pregnant
genitalia

Question 20

when not to use massage

Answer 20

over skin lesions
near cancer
acute infections
shock or fever

Question 21

PEMF stands for

Answer 21

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy

Question 22

how does PEMF work

Answer 22

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy

increased intracellular CA, which binds to calmodulin, increasing production of nitric oxide which decreases inflammation

Question 23

when not to use PEMF

Answer 23

not near pacemaker or near hemangiosarcoma

but otherwise very safe and few side effects

Question 24

TENS stands for

Answer 24

transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation

Question 25

TENS is used for

Answer 25

acute and chronic pain sends low voltage electrical impulse through skin and various waveforms, frequencies and amplitudes

Question 26

TENS vs NMES

Answer 26

TENS- high frequency short duration NMES- low frequency, high pulse duration

Question 27

how does NMES work

Answer 27

low frequency, high pulse duration will cause **muscle contraction**- increases muscle strength, mass and oxidative capacity

Question 28

heat from ultrasound can help with

Answer 28

muscle contracture and tendonitis alters viscoelastic properties of collagen and collagen molecular bonding increases blood flow by vasodilating

Question 29

when not to use ultrasound

Answer 29

pacemakers cancer, eyes, growth plates, fetus, infection deep heating- can **over heat and cause burns**

Question 30

goniometer

Answer 30

joint angles
