DEFINATION: Electrical stimulation of the muscles that generally act as the muscle pump may be combined with compression and elevation of the limb to increase venous and lymphatic return and so relieve oedema. Goal : Faradism Under Pressure is used for edema control and to improve the venous and lymphatic drainage from the edematous area,…
FARADIC CURRENT faradic type current is a short duration interrupted direct current. They have a pulse duration of 0.1 to 1 ms and a frequency of 50 to 100 Hz. The point here to note is faradic current is direct current but with a short duration interruption of 0.1 to 1 microsecond. the term faradism…
COLD THERAPY USE IN PHYSIOTHERAPY
What is Ultra-Violet Radiation therapy? ultraviolet radiation elecutromagnetic energy which is invisible to the human eyes, with wavelength between 10nm and 400nm. ultra-violet lies between visible light and x-ray in the electromagnetic spectrum and for descriptive purpose the therapeutic part of the uv spectrum may be divided into (1)UVA(long UV)400-315 nm (penetrates to dermis,responsible for…
Definition LASER Therapy is a non-invasive treatment modality increasingly used in physiotherapy to promote healing, reduce pain, and accelerate tissue repair. By utilizing specific wavelengths of light, LASER therapy penetrates deep into tissues, stimulating cellular activity and enhancing the body’s natural healing processes. Commonly applied in the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, arthritis, and soft tissue…
Introduction of Ultrasound :Â Ultrasound Waves : Ultrasound waveform with compression and rarefaction These three factors are related, but are not constant for all types of tissue. Average figures are most commonly used to represent the passage of US in the tissues. Typical US frequencies from therapeutic equipment are 1 and 3 MHz though some…
DEFINATION: Short Wave Diathermy : Short Wave Diathermy is Also called SWD – is a Electric Machine that are useful in treatment that uses electromagnetic energy to produce deep heating in joints and soft tissues. This form of heat can be applied to deeper structures than other forms of heat treatment. It uses a high-frequency…
What is a Rotator cuff injury? The most common rotator cuff injuries are impingements and tears. Impingement: An impingement occurs when a rotator cuff muscle swells and cramps the space between the arm and shoulder bones, causing pinching. Muscle strain, other overuse injuries, and bone spurs are common causes of swelling. Tear: A less common…
What is Tarsul Tunnel Syndrome? Tarsal tunnel syndrome is condition in which posterior tibial nerve is compressed/Damaged in tarsal tunnel , is a part of ankle joint, narrow space is covered by with a thick ligament (the flexor retinaculum) that protects and maintains the structures contained within the tunnel—Nerves,arteries, veins and tendons. Anatomy Of Tarsal…
