Study Notes

Cold Therapy

Cold reduces blood flow to the affected area.
Raynaud's Phenomenon is characterized by discoloration of the fingers and toes in response to cold temperatures.
Vapocoolant Sprays are applied to reduce pain and muscle spasms.
The extent of cooling with cold agents depends on the temperature and duration of application.
Frostbite is a common adverse reaction to cold agents when used at extreme temperatures.

Cryotherapy

The 'Hunting Response' is characterized by initial vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation.
Cryokinetics combines cold effects with exercises.

Taping

Ice Massage is applied to reduce inflammation and pain.
Tape is used to provide support and protection to the affected area.
Skin should be cleaned with soap and water before applying tape to prevent skin irritation.
Solutions for skin irritation due to repeated taping include using hypoallergenic tape, taping over a stocking, and applying talcum powder.
Tape should be applied from distal to proximal to prevent fluid accumulation.
Tape should not be applied over broken skin, open wounds, or sensitive areas.
To remove tape manually, gently peel it off in the direction of hair growth to prevent irritation.
Non-elastic adhesive tape provides additional support and stability.
Arch (Teardrop) Taping requires specialized taping materials.
Tape should be overlapped by one-half to two-thirds during application.
When removing tape close to an injury site, use caution to avoid irritating the area.

Healing Phases

The Proliferative Phase follows the Inflammatory Response phase.
The signs and symptoms of the Inflammatory Response phase include pain, swelling, redness, heat, and loss of function.

Wrap Techniques

Bandages should be free of wrinkles and imperfections to provide uniform compression.
The key function of Elastic Wraps is to provide compression and support.
A body part should be wrapped during taping to provide additional support and stability.
If there is interference with the healing process, the taping technique should be adjusted.
The last phase of the Three Phases of Healing is the Remodeling Phase.

Site Preparation

The initial step in site preparation for taping is to clean the skin with soap and water.

Thermotherapy

One of the physiological effects of heat is to increase blood flow to the affected area.
The extent of heating in thermotherapy depends on the temperature and duration of application.
A common adverse reaction associated with thermotherapy is burns.
Caution must be taken with heat application to avoid burns.
Heat increases blood flow, whereas cold reduces blood flow.
The extent of heating in thermotherapy is influenced by the temperature and duration of application.
Thermotherapy is contraindicated in cases of bleeding or malignancy.
