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.
