Electromagnetic Modalities
|
Includes cryotherapy, thermotherapy, electrical
stimulating currents, diathermy and lasers |
|
|
What does electromagnetic therapy rely on?
|
-Rely on electromagnetic energy, which travels at the speed of light.
-The energy can be absorbed, refracted, reflected or transmitted. |
|
|
Acoustic Modalities
|
ULTRA SOUND!!!
-Vibration of tissue produces heat and impacts cell me permeability |
|
|
Mechanical Modalities
|
intermittent compression, massage
-nvolves mechanically stretching, compressing and manipulating soft tissue and joint structures |
|
|
Transmission of Thermal Energy
|
Conduction. Convection. Conversion.
|
|
|
Conduction
|
Heat is transferred from a warmer object to a cooler
one-TOUCH |
|
|
Examples of Conduction Modalities
|
Moist hot packs, paraffin, ice packs and cold packs
|
|
|
Convection
|
Transfer of heat through movement of fluids or gases
|
|
|
Examples of Convection Modalities
|
Whirlpool
|
|
|
Conversion
|
Generation of heat from another object (sound, electricity or chemical agents)
|
|
|
Desired effects of Thermotherapy
|
Increase collagen extensibility; decreasing joint stiffness; reducing pain; relieving muscle spasm; reduction of edema and swelling; increasing blood flow
|
|
|
Examples of Thermotherapy
|
Heat Pack, Warm Whirlpool, Paraffin Bath,Contrast Bath, and Fluidotherapy
|
|
|
Classifications of Electromagnetic Modalities
|
Thermotherapy, Cryotherapy, Electrical stimulating currents
|
|
|
Concerns with Thermotherapy
|
-The heat must be absorbed into the tissue and spread to adjacent tissue.
-Too much heat could damage the tissue |
|
|
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 |
|
|
Which category of modality results in Vasoconstriction?
|
Cryotherapy
|
|
|
Which category of modality results in Vasodilatation?
|
Thermotherapy
|
|
|
Examples of Cryotherapy
|
Ice Massage, Cold water immersion, Ice Packs
|
|
|
Three types of E-Stem
|
Muscle Re-education, Pain/Spasm, Reduce Swelling
|
|
|
Ultra sound
|
Stimulates repair of soft tissue and pain relief
|
|
|
Phonophoresis
|
Method of driving molecules through the skin using mechanical vibration
|
|
|
What are the four distinct evaluations?
|
1Preparticipation examination
2On the field injury asses. 3off the field injury asses 4progress evaluation |
|
|

|
|
|
Diagnosis
|
Denotes name of specific condition
|
|
|
Prognosis
|
prediction of the course of the condition
|
|
|
Sequela
|
condition following and resulting from disease or injury
|
|
|
Syndrome
|
group of symptoms and signs that together indicate a particular injury or disease
|
|
|
