Magnetic Field

Magnetic FieldDownload http://www.physiotherapyphd.com Definition: This is the area or zone of influence around a magnet in which its magnetic forces are apparent. This field may be considered as being made of magnetic lines of force which has the following properties. 1.They travel from north to south, which is the path a north pole would take.ContinueContinue reading “Magnetic Field”

Properties of Skin

http://www.physiotherapyphd.com Properties of SkinDownload Properties of Skin http://www.physiotherapyphd.com The Properties of the skins are nonlinearity, viscoelasticity, anisotropy, loading history dependency, failure properties, and aging effects. Nonlinearity There are differences in the skin of the same individual depending on location on the body, and there are differences between individuals. There are also directional effects of skin,ContinueContinue reading “Properties of Skin”

ICE TOWELS METHOD OF CRYOTHERAPY

ICE TOWELS METHOD OF CRYOTHERAPYDownload ICE TOWELS METHOD OF CRYOTHERAPY http://www.physiotherapyphd.com Ice towels: This is a popular method of application because there is little danger of producing an ice burn. Prepare the ice solution by filling a bucket or bowl with two parts of flaked or crushed ice to one part water in which twoContinueContinue reading “ICE TOWELS METHOD OF CRYOTHERAPY”

Motor point

Motor pointDownload http://www.physiotherapyphd.com Motor point is that point where the nerve enters the muscle or impulses have maximum contraction at that point. It is usually located at a point of upper one-third and lower two-thirds of the length of muscle. When electrical stimulation is applied to produce a muscle contraction, one electrode should be placedContinueContinue reading “Motor point”

Capacitor

CapacitorDownload Capacitor also known as Condenser http://www.physiotherapyphd.com The capacitance of an object is the ability of the body to hold an electrical charge. The unit of capacitance is farad. The capacitor ability depends on the surface area and its material used. Three types of capacitors: Parallel plate capacitor is the capacitor which is used mostContinueContinue reading “Capacitor”

Kromayer lamp- UVR

Kromayer lampDownload Kromayer lamp http://www.physiotherapyphd.com Kromayer Lmp is one of the UVR generator uses water for the lamp. It has advantage over high-pressure mercury lamp that it can be used in contact with the body tissues as the harmful infrared rays are absorbed by the circulating water so there is no danger of burns. ConstructionContinueContinue reading “Kromayer lamp- UVR”

Faradic current

Faradic currentDownload Faradic current http://www.physiotherapyphd.com During the 1830s, Faraday discovered that bidirectional electrical currents could be induced by a moving magnet. He called this current “Faradic current.” Faradic current can be used to produce muscle contractions. Faradic type current is short duration interrupted direct current with pulse duration of 0.1–1 ms and frequencies between 50–100ContinueContinue reading “Faradic current”

Discuss the principles and production of Ultrasound. Explain about the method of Application and a note on effects on tissues.

Define pain, Describe the theories of pain, Explain the applications of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, Note on mechanism of pain relief.

Define Pain Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or threatened tissue damage. Describe the theories of pain Theoretical frameworks of pain explain the physiological basis of pain. A number of theories have been postulated to describe mechanisms underlying pain perception. 1.Intensive Theory (Erb, 1874) This theory defines pain, not asContinueContinue reading “Define pain, Describe the theories of pain, Explain the applications of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, Note on mechanism of pain relief.”
