|
Primarily used outside of rehabilitation for the destruction of malignant and nonmalignant tissue growths. |
Cryotherapy |
|
|
Duration of cryotherapy |
less than 15-20 mins |
|
|
Causes cutaneous vasoconstriction both directly and indirectly; reduces circulatory rate |
Cold |
|
|
Phenomenon where the opposite of vasoconstriction happens when cold is applied for longer periods of time or when temperature reaches less than 10 degrees |
Cold-induced vasodilation (CVID) |
|
|
Temperature cycling with alternate vasoconstriction and vasodilation |
Hunting Response |
|
|
Most likely to occur in distal extremities for longer than 15 mins below 1 degrees |
Cold-induced Vasodilation |
|
|
Effects of Cryotherapy |
Decreased Nerve Conduction Velocity Increased pain threshold Altered muscle strength Decreased Spasticity Facilitation of Muscle Contraction Decreased Metabolic Rate |
|
|
Use of cryotherapy after exercise can reduce severity of |
Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) |
|
|
When using cryotherapy to control inflammation on the extremities, apply for no longer than |
20 mins c at least 1 hour apart |
|
|
In cases of edema caused by immobility and poor circulation, venous and lymphatic circulation should be increased to move fluid out of the affected area. Thus, instead of cryotherapy, this should be used |
Compression, elevation, heat, exercise, and massage |
|
|
RICE meaning |
Rest Ice Compression Elevation |
|
|
Rapid application of ice as a stimulus to elicit desired motor patterns |
Quick icing |
|
|
Technique that combines the use of cold and exercise |
Cryokinetics |
|
|
Application of a cooling agent before stretching to reduce muscle spasm |
Cryostretch |
|
|
Hypersensitivity to cold which develops a vascular skin reaction in reaction to exposure with smooth, slightly, elevated patches c redness and itching |
Cold-induced uticaria |
|
|
Form of severe pain, numbness, and color changes in response to cold |
Cold intolerance |
|
|
uncommon disorder characterized by the aggregation of serum proteins in the distal circulation when distal extremities are cooled. |
Cryoglobulinemia |
|
|
hemoglobin from lysed red blood cells is released into the urine in response to local or general exposure to cold. |
Paroxysmal Cold Hemoglobinuria |
|
|
Primary or idiopathic form of paroxysmal digital cyanosis |
Raynaud's Disease |
|
|
more common; paroxysmal digital cyanosis c palor and cyanosis and redness of the digits associated cc carpal tunnel, thoracic outlet syndrome |
Raynaud's Phenomenon |
|
|
True or false: Apply cryotherapy directly to regenerating peripheral nerves |
False |
|
|
True or false: You should not apply cryotherapy to areas c impaired circulation as it may cause vasoconstriction instead |
True |
|
|
When edema is caused by poor circulation, the area is |
cool and pale |
|
|
When edema is caused by inflammation, the area is |
warm and red |
|
|
Filled with a gel compound of silica or mixture of saline and gelatin |
Cold pack |
|
|
A device that pumps cold water and air into a sleeve that is wrapped around a pt's limb |
Controlled Cold Compression Unit |
