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”

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”

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”

Infra-red radiation – Types and Effects

Infra red radiation – types and effectsDownload http://www.physiotherapyphd.com Infra-Red Radiation: The infrared rays are electromagnetic waves with the wavelengths of 750 to 400000 nm and frequency 4 × 1014 Hz and 7.5 × 1011 Hz. It lies beyond boundary of visible light. Any hot body can produce infrared rays like the sun, electric bulb, coalContinueContinue reading “Infra-red radiation – Types and Effects”

What is strength duration curves. Write in detail the technique of doing it.Download What is strength-duration curves? Write in detail the technique of doing it. http://www.physiotherapyphd.com Definition:The amount of electricity required to produce an AP depends on the type of nerve and can be represented by the nerve’s strength-duration curve. The strength-duration curve for aContinueContinue reading “What is strength-duration curves? Write in detail the technique of doing it.”

Short question Electrotherapy-2

Short Questions-2 ElectrotherapyDownload Short question Electrotherapy-2 http://www.physiotherapyphd.com Erythema Erythema, or redness of the skin resulting from dilation of superficial blood vessels caused by the release of histamines, is one of the most common and obvious effects of exposure to UV radiation. Damage to cells causes release of histamine like substance from the epidermis and theContinueContinue reading “Short question Electrotherapy-2”

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.”
