Hydrotherapy- HANDS
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Conduction | A thermal energy exchange where physical contact between two surfaces occur |
| Reflex Heating | Affects the receptors in the skin to maintain core temperature |
| Peripheral nervous system | A network of small nerves that branch out from the brain and spinal cord and reach every part of the body |
| Radiation | An electromagnet transfer of energy |
| Evaporation | Heat loss through perspiration and exhalation |
| Hydrostatic Pressure | The pressure exerted by water molecules on an immersed body |
| Gate Control Theory | Increased amounts of sensor fibers to the brain will block pain fibers |
| Fomentation | A heat treatment that uses towels soaked in hot water with multiple changes and takes 20 minutes |
| Convection | Energy transfer involving moving currents(popcorn popper) |
| Vasodilation | The relaxation of the blood vessels increasing blood flow |
| Hyperthermia | Elevated body temperature |
| Vascular Response | Initially vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation protecting the body from further injury |
| Basel Metabolic Rate | The energy required to keep a resting body alive |
| Referred Pain | Pain felt at a site elsewhere from the source of disease or injury |
| Chronic | A condition lasting months or even years |
| Contraindication | A condition that would make treatment unadvisable |
| Homostasis | The state of equilibrium |
| Effects of Cold Application | Decreased metabolism, increased muscle tonus |
| Effects of Heat Application | Increased pulse rate, peripheral vasodilation |
| Hydrotherapy | Therapeutic use of water at varying temperatures to restore health and function |
| Moist Abdominal Bandage | A heat treatment that begins with a cold compress, use body heat for heat source and takes at least one hour |
| Buoyancy | The ability to float |
| Water | Universal Solvent |
| How much water we lose | 3 or 4 pints urine, 1 pint exhalation, 1 pint sweat |
| Circulatory System | Consists of blood and lymph, blood and lymphatic vessels and the heart. Supplies cells with nutrients and cleans cells of metabolic waste and foreign matter |
| Specific gravity of water | One. 1 cal to raise temp of 1 gram of water 1 Celsius anything less than 1 will float any thing more than 1 will sink. |
| Integumentary System | Skin. Skin is our first line of defense. Plays vital role in controlling body temp. Can also excrete metabolic waste and toxins . On of the most important functions of skin it keeps brain informed |
| Nervous System | Control Center of the brain |
| Central nervous system | made up of the brain and spinal cord |
| Autonomic nervous system | Is the portion of the nervous system that controls the visceral functions of the body |
| Reflexes | Body actions or movements that happen rapidly and automatically in response to possible danger |
| Hygeia is who's daughter? | Aescupius |
| hydrostatic pressure | As soon as you enter a pool of water changes happen in the body as a result of the water pressing against our skin equally in all directions. The deeper the water the more pressure on the body |
| Archimedes Principle | an immersed body is buoyed or lifted up by a force equal to the weight of the liquid being displaced. |
| Thermal Spas | the water can be hot enough to burn the skin and are often located near rivers, where the cooler water can mix with the spa water |
| Saline Baths | Contain chlorides, sulfates and carbonates of sodium, potassium, calcium or magnesium and are often whitish or colored or have obvious odors "rotten egg" sent as in sulfur springs |
| Gaseous waters | contain natural gasses under pressure, such as carboxide, hydrogen sulfide, radon and are often bubbly |
| Iron- Baring waters | contain at least 10 mg of iron per liter, which gives off a reddish tint |
| Heliotherapy | light therapy |
| Endangerment sites | Areas where nerves and blood vessels are close to the skin and are not well protected by muscle or connective tissue. Deep pressure should be avoided |
| list some of the endangerment sites | Anterior triangle of the neck, Posteroir triangle of the neck, Axillary area (armpit), Medial epicondyle of the humerus, umbilicus, back of knee, sciatic notch |
| 3000 BC | Era of Egyptian Physician Aesculapius. |
| Aesculapius | represented with a serpent. Serpent is symbol of living water and current symbol of the healing arts. |

| pain diagram | trauma in center top pain then spasm, guarded of trauma site, loss of function. |
| How many towels are used with hot pack? how many with ice towles | Hot= 4 to 8 treatment 20-30 mins cold= 1 treatment 10-20 mins |
| What is the temp range for a cold bath and temp range for hot bath? | cold 55-70 F hot 104- 106 F |
| What is the temp range for a paraffin bath, how long does treatment take? | 122- 130 F 10- 20 mins 100-200 F to sterilize equipment |
| temp range to sterilize equipment | 100-200 F |
| how long for cryotherapy massage? | 10-20 mins |
| what are the properties of water? | Viscosity Buoyancy- ability to float hydrodynamic force |
| use for Hubbard Tank | derivation of simulations. sort periods of time can seem like much longer periods of time. |
| Acidosis | When PH is below 7.0 |
| Alkalosis | When PH is above 7.0 |
| double cold compress | start with cold piece of fabric dipped in vinegar- wrap around the neck and cover with a plastic bag , cover with towel. This will create a localized fever, will fight any bacteria, and will stimulate devel. of white blood cells |
