PTH202 Test 1 Questions with 100% Verified
Answers Latest Versions Top Rated A+
an energy, (stress) or material that is applied to a patient to
assist in Rehabilitation
Modality (physical agent, therapeutic agent)
Cellular Permeability impacts
blood flow,
edema,
pain threshold
tissue temperature
Cellular Metabolism impacts
pain threshold and collagen production
Nerve conduction velocity impacts
pain threshold and muscle tone
Physical agents/ Modalities clinical application is
- Promotes physiological change in the persons body to promote
the healing process in a safe and effective manner
Types of physical agents
1. Thermal Agents- Heat, Cold, Ultrasound, diathermy
2. Mechanical Agents- Hydrotherapy, compression, mechanical
traction (pressure)
3. Electromagnetic Agents- UV therapy, infrared IR radiation,
diathermy, electrical current (TENS,IFC, HVGS), lasers,
iontophoresis
3 Types and clinical examples of Thermal Agents
type: Superficial heating ex: Hot packs, paraffin, fluidotherapy
Type Superficial cooling ex: ice pack, ice bath, cryo-cuff
(compression)
Type Deep Heating Agents ex: Ultrasound, short wave
diatherapy, phonophoresis
5 Types and examples of Mechanical Agents
, Type: Traction Ex: Mechanical traction
Compression Ex: Elastic bandage/ stockings
Water Ex: Whirlpool
Sound Ex: Ultrasound
Motion Ex: Continuous passive motion (CPM)
2 Types of Electromagnetic Agents
1. Electromagnetic field Ex: Ultraviolet, IR, Laser, Iontophoresis
2. Electrical current Ex: TENS, E-Stim, IFC
Inflammatory Phase of Tissue Injury Response
-Days 1-6
-Remove debris and limit bleeding
-Modalities reduce Heat, Swelling, Pain, Redness and Restore
function
Proliferation Phase of Tissue Injury Response
-Days 3-20
-Deposit Collagen in damaged areas to replace injured tissue
-Modalities increase circulation promote collagen deposition and
remodeling
Maturation Phase of Tissue injury
-Day 9-2 yrs
-Deposition, resorption and improving new collagen for functional
recovery
Tissue injury Response
Healing that accelerates rehabilitation and reduces adverse
effects of prolonged inflammation, pain and disuse
3 phases: Inflammatory, Proliferation and Maturation
Tissue Repair
-Complex sequences of interactive and overlapping events
- Vascular Hemostatic, Cellular and Immune Responses to the
injury
Immediate Response to an injury
Vasoconstriction- Slows the blood flow
Response to injury includes
-Vasoconstriction -immediate
- Vasodilation -Histamine causes swelling/ Prostaglandins
