Condctor of heat
Definition
water possesses the aboitly to absorb adn distribute large quanities of heat . Water has 27 times grate capacity for condutive heat than air has. It takes only one calorie fo heat to raise one grain of water 1 degree C. It is able to give up it's heat rapidy. but does not cool too quickly
Term
Exists in three states
Definition

Solid, liquid and vaper with a relative narraow range of tempature As ice it is effective as a cooling agent; as a liquid water may be applied by immersion baths, sprays, packs, adn douches at any desired tempature adn pressure and as a vapor baths and by inhatalion

 

0 degree c = 32 F (freezing point of water)

37 degree C = 98.6 F ( human oral body tempature)

100 degree C = 212 F (boiling poing of water)

 

 

Term
Solvent

Term
Inexpesnsive
Definition
water is easily accessible adn may be applied with relatively inexpensive equiment it is a universal solvent and not irritating
Term
Bouyancy
Definition

because the density of water is neat that of the human body it produces a buoyant effect upon

immrsion equal to the weight of the water displaced .

Term
Standards for hot and cold
Definition

Dangerously hot 125 = degrees F and above

Painfully hot = 111 - 124 degree F

Very Hot = 105 - 110 degree F

Hot = 100 - 104 degree F

Warm = 97 - 100 degree F

Neutral = 94 - 97 degree F

Tepid = 80 - 92/94 degree F

Cool = 70 - 80 degree F

Cold = 55 - 70 degree F

Very Cold = 32 - 55 degree F

Term
Physicalogoical effects of hydrotherapy
Definition

Physiological changes produced in the body by hydrotherapuetic procedures may be classifed as thermal mechanical and chemical

 

THERMAL

MECHANICAL
CHEMICAL

Term
Thermal effects
Definition
ARe procudced by application of water tempatures above or below that of the body the greater the variation the greater the pphysiological effedt produced . heat may transferred from one object to antother or generated in a substance or tissue by one of the following methods conduction convection or conversion
Term
Mechanical Effects
Definition
upon the body are produced by the impact of the water upon the skin surface in whirpools, sprays, douches adn frictions
Term
Chemical effects
Definition
are produced when it is taken by mouth or when it is used as a irrigation of some body cavity , such as the large bowel. this would also include sitting in an alcohol or Epsom salt bath
Term
Effects of heat
Definition
The conductive heat of hydrotherapy does not penetrate deeply beneath the skin surfaca dn is confined largely tot he skina dn subcutaneous tissues. Moist heat mya penetrate as much as 3.4 centimeters to rach superiflcal layers of muscle but is radiply dissipated by the increased blood flow (Dy heat penerates less deeply)
Term
Local affects of heat
Definition

1. increases of local cirrculation & cellcular metabolish

2. increase in vasolitation of capillaries

3. relaxation of skeletal adn smooth muscles

4. increased migration of leukocytes therough vessels walls in locally heated areas

5. loacal sweating and local analgesia are procudec by moest heat

6. realaxes white connective tissue (dense fibrous)

7. contracts yellow connective tissue (layer of fascia uner the dermis)

Term
Systematic effects of heat
Definition

1. decrease in general metabolish

2. stimualtion of nervous system initally then sedation

3. increase in heart rate

4. increase digestion by increasing the release of digestive enzymes

5. increase peristalsis of the stomach, sm & lrg instesine

Term
General indications for hydrotherapy
Definition

to relieve cramps/muscle spasms

increase the ROM of a joing

increase blood flow to area of poor cirrculation

heat is better in the chronic phase of a condtion

Term
Genral contra-indication for hydrotherapy
Definition

1. acute inflamation

2. heorrhage

3. cancer

4. decreased sensation or inablity to resport

5. peripheral vascular disease

Term
Effects of Cold
Definition
Due to the fact htat th local application of cold produces vasoconstriction, there is no influx of fressh warm blood t the par. As a result cold penetraed deeply tinto the tissue from the surface
Term
Local effects of Cold
Definition

1. incrase in vasoconstriction

2. decrease in local cirrculation

3. decrease in cellular metabolish

4. less leukocyte migration through capillary walls

5. contraction of skeletal adn smooth muscle

6. produces a mumbing analgesic or anesthetic effect

Term
Systems effects of cold
Definition

1. stimulation of the nervous system at first and then sedation

2. heart rate would first quicken and then decrease

3. incrasease in gernal metabolish

Term
General indications for cold hydrotherapy
Definition

reduce inflamation for sprains/strains

acute pain

over trigger point

to increase muscle tone

Conld is better in acute phase of a conditon

Term
General contra-inddiation for cold in hydrotheapy
Definition

1. cold sensitive patient

2. a patient who can not report sensation of frost bite

Term
Reflex efforts to prolonged heat
Definition

1. to one extreemity causes vasodiliation in the contalateral extremity

2. abdomianl wall - causes decreased intesinal blood flow & diminsished intetianal motitlty and decreases secretion of acid in the stomach 

3. Pelvis - relaxes the muscluarue of the pelvis organs; delates the blood vessels, and increases menstrual flow/cycle

4. Predonrdium - increases  the heart rate, decreases its force and lowers blood pressure

5. chest - promotes eas of respiration and expectoration

6. Trunk - relaxes the ureters or bile ducts, relives renal or gallbladder colic

7. kindey/ lower Abdomen - increase the production of urine

 

Term
Reflex efforts of prolonged cold
Definition

1. prolonged cold over the trunk or artery produces contraction of the artery and its brancehes

2. to the skin over the nose, back of the neck, and hands causes contadtion of the blood vessels of the nasal mucossa

3. Precordium - also the heat rate adn inceaes its stroke volume

4. Abdomen - increased intestianl blood flow, increased intesinal motibliy, and increased acid secretion in the stomach

5. Pevic area - stimuates the muscles of the pelvic organ

6. thyroid gland - contacts its blood vessels and decrease its function

7. hands/scalp - causes contraction of blood vessels to the brain

8. Acurely inflamled joints/bursae - caueses vasoconstriction adn relief of pain and hastens recovery

9. Acute tramua - causes vasoconstriction and lessens pain, swelling, and herorrhage into the tissues

Term
Treatments/technique for local thermal and ice producedures
Definition

Formentation, hydrocollator. Paraffin bath

.Hot foot bath, Whirpool bath,Sitz bath (hot/cold)

Ice pack, ice masage, Salt glow, Alcohol rub, hubbard tank, Russian bath, Brand bath, netrual bath,
