| Occupational Therapy (OT) | Help Pts perform ADLs |
| Modalities | Heat, Cold, Water, Massage, Exercise |
| Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) | OT assists Pts in basic self-care tasks such as: bathing, brushing teeth, hair, dressing, etc. |
| Range of Motion (ROM) | PT assists Pts to regain function. |
| Thermotherapy | Dry or moist heat applied to increase circulation, relax muscles, relieve pain and muscle spasms, increase flexibility. |
| Vasodilation | Dilates blood vessels to accelerate tissue metabolism (with use of heat) |
| Moist Heat | Hot Compress, soaked hot packs, hot soaks, paraffin baths |
| Dry Heat | Heating pads, hot packs, hot water bottles (105°f - 110°f) |
| Cryotherapy | Dry or moist cold applied to constrict blood vessels and induce contractions of involuntary muscles, produce numbing effect. (most effective w/in first 48 hrs) |
| Vasoconstriction | Constricts blood vessels to induce muscle contractions (with use of cold) |
| Moist Cold | Cold Compress, ice massages |
| Dry Cold | Ice bags, commercial ice packs, chemical ice packs |
| Hydrotherapy | Circulating water used to treat injuries such as Whirlpools |
| Risk factors for Osteoporosis | Sedentary lifestyle, smoking, menopausal women (note: low B complex would NOT be a risk factor) |
| Strain | Injury to muscles and tendons due to overuse/over exertion |
| Sprain | Trauma to ligaments; more severe than strain but may also include muscles and tendons |
| Ambulation | Ability to walk and move about freely |
| Open Fracture | Open or compound (bone protrudes through the skin) |
| Closed Fracture | Closed or simple (skin remains in tact) |

| Bone Scan | Uses radiation to visualize and evaluate for bone cancers or other pathogenic conditions |
| Kidney, Urine, Bladder (KUB) | Pt is placed in Supine position (on their back) |
| Dosimeter | Badge worn by all personnel who work near radiation to monitor exposure |
| Excessive exposure to radiation | Can lead to decrease in WBC and RBCs, cancers, burns, fetal complications, tissue damage |
| What is used as a protective barrier against radiation? | Lead -- in walls, aprons, gloves |
| Angiogram | Examination of blood vessels |
| CT Scan | Thin Cross sectional image |
| Contrast Mediums | Liquids, Iodine, Gases (CO2, O2) |
| Which diagnostic imaging equipment does not use radiation? | MRI and Ultrasound |
| Ultrasound cannot see through bone so which condition might you be able to view? | Gal stones |
| Radiation treatment is used to treat | Inoperable tumors, partially remove tumors, target malignant cells without harming healthy cells. |
