Cervical traction can be accomplished w/ this unitInvolves use of plates, sand bags or water

Drives molecules through the skin with ultrasound

Reflex action of smooth muscle due to sympathetic nervous system and adrenal medulla

Reflex effect Relaxation StimulationIncreased circulation

KneadingInvolves picking up skin between thumb and forefinger, rolling and twisting in opposite directions

Commonly used over tendons, muscle belly, bursae or myofascial trigger points

Often added to decongestantsGave little effects on the common coldBeneficial in allergies

Variability in the beamLower BNR = more uniform energy output

Concentric and eccentric muscle actionsFree weights, exercise machines, tubing, manual resistance

natural vasodilation ; it occurs in body naturally if exposed to cold for long periods of time.

Two slightly different currents cross (4 electrodes)

Method by which drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized and eliminated from the body

Used to treat nausea and vomiting

Is hydrocollator packs, whirlpool baths, paraffin bath are

What order will the patient get cold in Burning Aching Cold Numbness

Atrophy is an example of

Generation of heat from another object (sound, electricity or chemical agents)

What order will the patient get in warming back up Burning Aching Cold Numbness

How joint surfaces move in relation to each otherSpin Glide Roll

Percussion

Growth, development and maintenance of reproductive tissues, masculinization

Relief of acid indigestion, heart burn, peptic ulcers

Primarily used for hypertension and heart diseaseUsed as an aid for sports requiring steadiness

Repair is underway and pain is decreased

Relatively inexpensive and convenient

Resting HR ____ 0.5 bpm each day of immobilization

When the amount taken = amount excretedUsed to determine how often to administer a drug

prevent chronic and troublesome symptomsmaintain normal lung functionprevent exacerbation

Drawing tension applied to a body segment

An example is listerine

The substance in which a drug is transported

Record all therapeutic modality on

Alternating Current

exists when foot or hand is not in contact with ground or other surface

foot or hand is weight bearing (distal segment in contact with the ground)

Indication Spinal nerve root impingementDecrease muscle guarding, treat muscle strain

Includes stomach upset, gas formation due to food incompatibilities, acute or chronic hyperacidityPoor eating habits

Traction, intermittent compression, massage

Whirlpool immersion is a

Primary focus is to control swelling and modulate pain w/ RICE

Performed in early phase of rehab

Direct Current

providing a single dose of medication for immediate use by a patient

Nasal congestion, depression, hallucinations, decreased mental function, _paranoia_______

Used to reduce spasm of exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB)

Active muscle contraction moving an extremity through ROM

Promote nitrogen retention leading to protein synthesis - causing increased muscle mass and weight, general growth

StrokingDivided into light and deep

Transfer of heat through movement of fluids or gases

The ability to detect movement (movement)

Caffeine is banned from the NAISDS

Includes diathermy and lasers

An example of a clorox wipe is

Heat is transferred from a warmer object to a cooler one

is the actions or effects of drugs on the body

Three or more pulses together

Physiological Effects of Cold rely on

Used to reduce muscle guarding and increase ROM

providing the patient with a drug in quantity sufficient for multiple doses

Heat producing massageAreas w/ underlying scarring, adhesions, spasms and fasciaGoal is to stretch underlying tissue

May cause electrolyte imbalance

Generates deep tissue healing; Higher water content facilitates healing

What keeps pressure in exercise

The ability to determine the position of a joint in space (position)

Dont place on living tissue , combats microorganisms

Who is ultimatly responsible for a full return to play

involves the central and peripheral nervous system and circulatory mechanisms

Suppress antitussives or produce fluid in respiratory system expectorant

Heating is transferred through space

Can be used to apply cervical or lumbar traction

Combines cryotherapy with exercise

Indications Used for controlling or reducing swelling after acute injury Good for pitting edema

Systematic manipulation of soft tissues (gliding, compressing, stretching percussing and vibrating)

Uses a _____ current to introduce ions into the skin

Includes cryotherapy , Relies on transfer of heat

Provide relief from gas

Encourages venous flow and mild stretching of superficial tissue

Area of transducer that produces sound energy

Used on trial and error basis to determine maximum position of comfort to accomplish specific goal

Anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic propertiesUsed to reduce pain, stiffness, swelling, redness, fever

Decreases free nerve ending and peripheral nerve excitability

Large amounts will cause elevated blood pressure, changes in HR, increased plasma levels of epinephrine, norepinephrine

How completely a drug is absorbed by the systemDependent on the drug’s characteristics, not dosage

Depression of nervous system, absorbed into bloodstream rapidly, must run its course , both short and long term

studies the actions of drugs on biological systems

Originally referred to as microcurrent (MENS)

Heat is more penetrating than cold t.f

Relies on molecular collisions for energy transfer, relies on sound energy

Longest of 3 phases

Uses progression drills to gauge how close the patient is to full return

Later phases of rehabFixed speed, variable resistanceRequires isokinetic device/machine (expensive)

Utilizes special equipment or simply inverting ones self

Important way of creating a bond of confidence between the patient and the Clinician

Condition that causes vasospasm of digital arteries, which can lead to tissue death

Direction of current flow (towards the positive or negative pole)

Reduces _oxygen carrying capacity in blood and increased heart rate

living tissue, kills bacteria but can be used on living tissue

Includes stimulating currents and iontophoresis Relies on a flow of electrons between two points

The rate at which a drug disappears from the body through metabolism, excretion or both
