24
The temperature where protein breakdown occurs

25
Heat is transferred from one object or substance to another or Generated in a substance or tissue
Heat transference
26
What's are the four methods of heat transference
Conduction Convection conversion Radiation
27
Transferred by contact ( bath, vapor, packs, sprays)
Conduction
28
Transferred by moving currents of heated liquids or gases. (hot air furnace, radiators)
Convection
29
Transferred by the passage through the body part by some form of energy ( diathermy- high frequency electromagnetic waves, ultrasound- electrical current creates a mechanical vibration producing acoustic energy)
Conversion
30
Transferred by wave motion from an energy source. ( one source of radiant heat is the sun)
Radiation
31
Local applications of cold- exp.ice packs | Local application of heat- exp. moist hot pack, heating pad
Hydrotherapy procedures
32
Examples of cold application: | Cold foot bath, cold plunge, ice packs, cold gel packs, ice water immersion, ice massage (cryocup-water frozen in cup)
Cryotherapy
33
What does RICE stand for
Rest Ice Compression Elevation
34
Is one treatment plan recent injuries.
Rice
35
True or false | You do Not apply ice directly to a burn.
True
36
True or false | You do not apply frozen gel packs directly to the skin!!!
True You are not suppose to apply frozen gel packs directly to the skin
37
Is the body's attempt to produce homeostasis.
"reaction"
38
A reaction to cold is produced by short vigorous applications of cold water. How may this be accomplished
Ice packs , cold mitten friction, cold wet sheets, cold spray, immersion bath
39
- Heat produces first vasodilation, the vasostasis - Local applications of heat doesn't penetrate deeply beneath the skin surface and is confined largely to the skin and subcutaneous tissue - metabolism is increased by heat, regardless of its duration
Are general effects of heat application
40
-increase oxygen absorption, -increased carbon dioxide excretion,-increased blood glucose, -decrease tissue tone, -decrease peripheral white blood cell count, -decrease peripheral red blood cell count These are all what
Heat applications
41
-alleviates pain in chronic conditions, -improve ability to stretch or exercise, -decrease recovery time from exercise, -relax muscles and fascia, -decrease muscle spasms, sedate the client, -&-93 the muscles easier to work with
Heat treatments (they help to do all of these things)
42
This is a local application of moist heat. A cloth is wrung from cool water applied to the surface of the skin, wrapped in flannel of another material that will capture the body heat and warm compress.
Heating compress (hydrotherapy procedures )
43
An application of a pack involves various procedures in which a considerable portion of the body is enveloped in wet cloths, sheets or blankets for therapeutic purposes. Exp. hot blanket pack, hot hip and leg pack, wet sheet wrap Mist heat packs kept in the roaster, hot packs made of Teri cloth
Packs
44
The classification is very broad and encompasses procedures in which the body is immersed in water, light, heated air, or vapor. Exp. steam baths , electric light bah, sauna, starch bath, herbal bath, vinegar bath, sun bath
Baths
45
Or a contrast bath, is among the most effective procedure that exists in hydrotherapy. When a short, hot application causes the peripheral blood and lymph vessels to fill and then short cold application empties and fills them again, a significant impact is made on the entire circulatory system, Not just vessels in the skin
Alternating hot and cold
46
- whirlpool | Is a partial immersion bath in which the water is agitated to produce light pressure on the body
Baths
47
- provides application of dry heat radiated through a bed of rocks in an enclosed wooden environment
Sauna
48
An application of wet steam heat to the body while sitting or lying in a contained cabinet
Steam cabinet
49
- application of moist heat to the body, while reclining in a room filled with steam
Steam room
50
-or melted wax, when applied to the body, forms an occlusive mask with heat.
Paraffin treatments
