Question | Answer |
Shotgun approach | Patient tx with every possible modality in the hope that one will be effective. |
Autonomic motor nerves | involuntarily |
Electrotherapy | Muscle stimulation, TENS, diathermy |
Lock and key | neurotransmitters fit into specific receptors in the dendrites like a key fits into a lock. |
Thermotherapy | Moist heat, dry heat, diathermy, US |
Efferent | exits ventrally. sends the motor response. |
Keep records for how many years? | 7 |
Absolute contraindications | =contraindications |
Bradykinin= | chemical mediators |
SOAP | Subjective, objective, assessment, plan of treatment. |
Rifle approach | more focused, patient tx with one or two specific modalities, targeted to achieve a particular goal. |
Types of Physical Agents | Heat Cold Light Electricity Exercise |
Tract | bundle of axons that carries information as action potentials in one direction. --efferent and afferent |
Core Goals of Rehab | structural integrity, pain-free joints and muscles, joint flexibility, muscular strength, muscular endurance, muscular speed, motor skill, muscular power, agility, and cardiorespiratory endurance. |
Synapse | junction between two nerves |
pain receptors (nociceptors) | are found all over the body |
Nerve fiber: cell with four parts | dendrites, cell body, axon, branches |
Somatic motor nerves | voluntarily |
Temporal summation | summation over time |
Hydrotherapy | Whirlpool, contrast bath, aquatic pool |
Mechanical | Massage, mobilization, US, whirlpool |
Electrical= | shock |
Afferent | affects the spinal cord. goes in dorsal (back part of spinal cord). sensory |
Types of Research Evidence | 1. Physiological responses of healthy, uninjured humans to specific interventions. 2. Pathophysiological responses of injured animals specific interventions. 3. Case studies or non-randomized clinical trials. 4. Randonmized clinical trials. |
Central control | central to pain management |
Plan | Course of action that the athletic trainer and the patient will take to treat and rehab the injury; includes both short- and long-term goals. |
Function of pain | warning for withdrawal, alert system that something is wrong, protects the injured body part. |
Chemical= | endogenous |
SAID principle | Specific adaptations to imposed demands |
Injury record is a | legal document |
Nociception | ability to feel pain |
Cookbook approach | set modalities for certain injuries. |
Indirect | get rid of source of pain (reduce swelling) |
Nerve | transmits information via electrical signals from one part of the body to another. |
Nociceptor= | sensory receptor that responds to pain |
Objective | reproducible info the AT gathers through tests or other evaluative measures. ex. laxity stress tests, ROM. |
Assessment | Clinician's professional judgement or impression of the injury |
Relative contraindications | =precautions |
Spacial summation | summation over space |
Direct | deal with pain itself |
Father of modern othro rehab | Ernst Dehne |
Critical thinker approach | patient focused, part of overall rehab plan, flexible, adaptable to patient's needs and progress. |
Neurotransmitters | chemicals that transmit an impulse across a synapse |
What is pain? | pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage. |
C fiber | chronic pain |
Cryotherapy | Ice pack, immersion, ice massage |
Neuromatrix theory of pain | pain tolerance etc. |
Therapeutic Purposes | Wound healing Pain relief Flexibility and range of motion Muscular strength Muscular endurance Coordination Power and agility Cardiorespiratory endurance |
Thermal= | radiant heat |
Why keep records? | communication and quality control, legal considerations, research, injury history, traffic patterns |
Five step application procedure | 1. Background information 2. Preapplication parameters 3. Application procedures 4. Postapplication parameters 5. Maintenance |
Pain is the number one reason why | individuals seek treatment |
Subjective | info gathered primarily from questioning the athlete about his or her present condition. |
A-delta fiber | acute |
Mechanical= | pressure |
Classification of Therapeutic Modalities | By physical agent used and by tissue response |
