Initial local constriction of blood vessels in response to cold, caused by stimulation of receptors and decreased vasodilatory substances.

Deep vessel widening after prolonged cold exposure, occurring approximately 12-15 minutes after application.

Reduced speed of nerve impulse transmission directly related to tissue temperature decrease.

Cryotherapy raises pain tolerance by mechanisms like counterirritation, reduced muscle spasms, and slowed nerve signals.

Varying effects on muscle strength, potentially increasing or decreasing it.

Sensory structures that detect cold and stimulate initial blood vessel constriction.

Substances like serotonin and bradykinin, reduced by cold exposure, normally promote blood vessel expansion.

Effect of nerve slowing is different depending on if the nerve is sensory or motor, the fiber type, and nerve size/location.

Brief cold exposure often increases muscular strength, while prolonged exposure decreases it.

Cryotherapy temporarily reduces muscle stiffness (spasticity) caused by nervous system issues.

Cold can initially help muscles contract better, used for specific patient needs.

Muscular contraction strength decreases over time from prolonged cold exposure.

Cold slows down metabolic reactions, including those involved in inflammation and healing.

Muscle strength tests should happen before, not after, cryotherapy application.

The effect of cryotherapy on reducing spasticity varies, with longer applications having a longer lasting effect.

Muscle contraction improvement can be seen immediately upon cold application but is short-lived, while prolonged application decreases this effect.

Used to manage the initial inflammatory phase of traumatic injuries for the first 72 hours (typically 24-48 hours).

Depends on the intensity and duration of the inflammatory response.

Avoid cryotherapy if person has cold-induced urticaria, cold intolerance, or certain blood disorders (cryoglobulinemia or cold hemoglobinuria).

Don't use cryotherapy on areas with poor circulation or peripheral vascular disease, to prevent further impairment.

Avoid cryotherapy because it can worsen the condition by further narrowing blood vessels.

Avoid applying cryotherapy directly to open wounds due to potential complications.

Avoid applying cryotherapy to a major nerve or nerves regenerating, or where nerve damage is suspected.

Cryotherapy is recommended for inflammation in conditions such as arthritis to reduce collagen.

Negative reactions to cryotherapy, severity depends on proper application and contraindications, like tissue death (necrosis) due to prolonged vasoconstriction.

Temperature below approximately 15ºC can damage tissue; freezing occurs between -4ºC and -10ºC.

To prevent soft tissue or nerve damage, apply cold for less than 45 minutes and maintain tissue temperature above 15ºC.

If symptoms worsen or don't improve after 2-3 sessions, re-evaluate/change the treatment or consult a doctor.

Various materials like ice packs, ice water, cold spray, and controlled cold compression units.

Typical response: intense cold, burning, pain, pain relief, numbness.

Monitoring the patient's response to the treatment using different application methods and noting the differences in depth and speed of action.

Situations where using cryotherapy is not advised. Younger or older patients may have unique situations that call for caution.

A cryotherapy technique involving immersion in a bath of 16-18°C water. Duration is 15-20 minutes, with ice added to maintain temperature.

A cryotherapy technique using repeated friction on muscles, following the muscle's fibers direction. No pressure, 5-10 minutes.

Cold pack applied on a thin cloth or paper, insulated by a towel. Duration: 15-20 minutes.

Different techniques have differing application times, ranging from 5-20 minutes depending on the method.

Cryotherapy applications use temperatures between 16-18 degrees Celsius for partial baths

Methods for applying cold therapy, including conduction (immersion, wraps), convection (aerosols, sprays), and direct application (ice packs).

Assessing the patient and setting treatment goals before applying cryotherapy.

Determining if cryotherapy is the suitable treatment for a specific patient and problem.

Identifying conditions where cryotherapy should not be used.

Choosing the appropriate cooling agent based on the body area and desired outcome.

Informing the patient about the procedure, reasoning, and expected sensations.

Assessing the results of the cryotherapy treatment.

Recording the cryotherapy treatment details.
