25 Questions

1. Increased Isometric Strength With <5 Min - >20 Minutes Of Ice Decreases Strength Immediately But Increases It 30-45 Min Post Rx Lasting 3 Hours

2. If Pt. Leans Away From Painful Side Where Is The Herniation? Where Do You Apply Traction?

3. Duration For Mechanical Traction?

4. Precautions For Tens

5. Piezoelectricity

6. Duration For Manual Traction?

7. Same As With Other Heat Modalities

8. What Are The Differences Between Chronic And Acute Pain?

9. Most Abundant Plasma Protein - Which Causes Edema When It Enters The Bloodstream

10. High Protein Content. Bone>Cartilage>Tendon>Skin>Muscle>Fat>Blood

11. What Is The Purpose Of Manual Traction?

12. Superficial: 1-3 Cm - Deep Heat: 1-5 Cm

13. 4 Minutes

14. Low Specific Heat - Wax Conducts Slower Than Water. Mineral Oil Makes It Liquid At Lower Temps.

15. Infection/Open Wound - Cannot Report Heat (Dementia) - Skin/Lymphatic Cancer - Excess Htn (>160/90) - Hemophilia - Long Term Steroid Use

16. The Greater The Distance Between The Electrodes

17. A Delta Is Fast Pain - Brief And Well Localized. C Fibers Carry Slow Pain - Poorly Localized - Aching - Throbbing - And Non Specific.

18. Duration For Us?

19. Duration For Stenosis - Ddd - Hypomobility - Djd

20. Decreased Gamma Activity Decreases The Stretch On Muscle Spindles - And Indirectly Decreases Firing Of Alpha Mn And Thus Decreased Spasm.

21. What Is The Starting Force - Max Force - Pull Force - And Rest Force For Lumbar Traction?

22. Less.

23. 2-3 Degrees C

24. Temperature Gradient - Time Of Exposure - Thermal Conductivity - Type Of Cooling Agent

25. Application Concerns For Cervical Mechanical Traction
