Study Notes
Effects of Cold Application
- Decreases local tissue temperature and cell metabolism.
- Causes initial vasoconstriction of arterioles and capillaries leading to decreased blood flow.
- Reduces nerve conduction velocity and delivery of leukocytes, phagocytes, and lymphatic drainage.
- Decreases muscle excitability and prevents edema accumulation.
- Provides anesthetic effects by numbing the area.
Effects of Heat Application
- Increases local temperature and metabolism, stimulating vasodilation of blood vessels.
- Boosts blood flow, leukocyte activity, capillary permeability, and lymphatic drainage.
- Can increase metabolic waste production and muscle elasticity, while decreasing muscle tone and spasms.
- Produces analgesia and can lead to enhanced edema formation.
Indications and Contraindications of Cryotherapy
Indications
- Effective during acute or subacute inflammation, pain (acute and chronic), and conditions like bursitis or tendonitis.
- Useful for myofascial trigger points, muscle guarding, and sprains.
Contraindications
- Not suitable for individuals with impaired circulation, peripheral vascular disease, or cold hypersensitivity.
- Avoid use on open wounds, infected skin, and conditions like Raynaud's and cold allergies.
Indications and Contraindications for Thermotherapy
Indications
- Beneficial for subacute or chronic inflammatory and painful conditions, as well as for edema resolution.
- Suitable for myofascial trigger points and muscle spasms.
Contraindications
- Avoid during acute musculoskeletal conditions and in patients with impaired circulation or skin anesthesia.
- Not recommended for open wounds, fever, or special cases like pregnancy and cancer.
Deciding Whether to Use Heat vs. Cold
- Assess if the body feels warm to touch, if sensitivity persists, and if swelling increases over time.
- Evaluate if pain restricts joint motion and if acute inflammation remains active.
- If most responses are negative, heat may be appropriate; if positive, opt for cold application.
Rehabilitation Goals
- Control Swelling: Implement immediate first aid; swelling can stem from bleeding or inflammatory processes. Control is vital within the first 72 hours post-injury using strategies like PRICE (Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation).
- Control Pain: Manage based on the extent of injury and patient response; acute pain can inhibit rehabilitation progress.
- Restore ROM: Address muscle and connective tissue limitations through stretching and possibly joint mobilization.
- Strength Recovery: Employ isometric, isotonic, or isokinetic exercises throughout rehabilitation, progressing in intensity and complexity.
- Reestablish Neuromuscular Control: Employ exercises to enhance proprioception and coordination of movements, crucial during early recovery phases.
- Balance Training: Essential to integrate proprioceptive training to prevent future injuries.
- Cardiorespiratory Fitness: Maintain fitness through alternative activities like swimming and cycling to counteract declines due to immobilization.
- Functional Progression: Incorporate gradual activities to regain full function, monitored carefully based on pain and swelling response.
Tendonitis Overview
- Commonly caused by rapid increases in activity levels, improper techniques in sports, and structural weaknesses.
- Treatment involves identifying and correcting the causative factors, alongside reducing inflammation with different modalities.
Fractures
- Recognize locations and types of fractures for efficient healing.
- Healing inhibitors include inadequate blood supply or excessive movement.
- Diagnosing fractures typically involves X-rays, while stress fractures require a bone scan.
- Awareness of signs and symptoms of fractures is crucial, including the use of internal and external fixators in treatment.
