A faradic current is a short duration interrupted direct current with a pulse duration of 0.1-1 ms and frequency of 50-100 Hz. It produces a biphasic, asymmetrical and spiked waveform. Faradic currents are used to produce near normal tetanic-like muscle contractions and relaxations. When applied to nerves and muscles, it causes sensory stimulation, muscle contraction, reduced swelling and pain, and increased metabolism. Faradic current is indicated for muscle reeducation, maintaining range of motion, loosening adhesions, and replacing orthosis. It involves placing electrodes on muscles or nerve trunks and gradually increasing and decreasing intensity to cause contraction and relaxation.
Anatomical pulleys in the hand redirect the pulling force of flexor tendons to provide precise control of finger movement. There are two types - annular pulleys, which are rings of connective tissue at the finger joints, and cruciate pulleys, which are smaller cross-shaped pulleys in between. Damage to the annular pulleys, especially the major A2 and A4 pulleys, can cause the tendon to be pulled away from the finger bone during movement, weakening grip. The pulley system enhances tendon power and allows normal range of motion in the fingers.

Diadynamic currents, High Voltage Galvanic Stimulation, Micro current, Träber...Sreeraj S R
This document discusses several types of low-frequency electrical stimulation techniques including diadynamic currents, high voltage pulsed galvanic stimulation, microcurrent, and Trabert current. It provides details on the waveform characteristics, physiological effects, indications, contraindications and application parameters for each technique. Diadynamic currents have five classic types that use rectified alternating current to produce monophasic pulses. High voltage galvanic stimulation uses twin peak monophasic pulses of short duration and low duty cycle. Microcurrent uses even lower intensities in the microampere range to stimulate tissue healing. Trabert current is a direct current with a 2 ms pulse and 5 ms interval, producing a frequency of around 143 Hz.
This document discusses different types of exercises used in physiotherapy, including free exercises, assisted exercises, assisted-resisted exercises, and resisted exercises. It defines each type and describes techniques, effects, and uses. Free exercises use only voluntary muscle action and can be localised or general. Assisted exercises involve a therapist providing support and assistance during a movement. Assisted-resisted exercises combine assistance and resistance. Resisted exercises use forces like weights or elastic bands to oppose muscle movement. The document also covers types of resistance like weights, pulleys, springs, and water. It describes progression of resistance exercises by increasing weight, leverage, speed, or duration. Finally, it discusses reflex movements and specific reflexes like the stretch reflex
Fluidotherapy is a dry heat modality that uses suspended air streams with properties similar to liquid. It is used to treat distal extremities from 38-45°C. The fluidotherapy unit consists of a metal tank, power controls, thermostat, fan, and auxiliary heater. It is applied by immersing the treated area in the air stream for 20 minutes and checking skin color afterward. Therapeutic effects include relief of pain, reduction of muscle spasm, increased range of motion, decreased inflammation and edema, and enhanced healing. Indications for fluidotherapy are scar tissue, post-operative stiffness, pain, contractures, arthritis, and edema. Contraindications include fever, cancerous tissue, impaired sensation
Galvanic current is a low frequency, interrupted direct current with pulse durations over 1ms up to 300ms and frequencies under 50Hz. It was discovered in the 1780s by Luigi Galvani and can cause contraction of denervated muscles through sluggish contractions, stimulation of sensory nerves resulting in pain sensations, and stimulation of motor nerves at high intensities. Therapeutically, galvanic current is used to retard muscle atrophy and substitute for normal muscle contraction in denervated muscles by slowing structural and functional changes like loss of activity and fibrosis through electrical stimulation. It can also be used facially to reduce dullness, fine lines, wrinkles, and improve elasticity and oxygen supply.
Aquatic exercise involves exercising in water to facilitate functional recovery. It has advantages like joint unloading due to buoyancy which increases range of motion. Various techniques like the Bad Ragaz ring method and Halliwick method are used for conditions like osteoarthritis. For knee osteoarthritis, aquatic therapy aims to prevent atrophy and abnormal movement patterns through limited weight bearing exercises according to the condition's phase. The primary goal is restoring normal gait mechanics.
This document discusses interferential therapy (IFT), a type of electrical stimulation treatment. IFT involves applying two medium frequency currents to generate a low frequency interference current in the tissues for therapeutic effects. It provides pain relief and motor stimulation while avoiding skin irritation experienced with other currents. IFT is indicated for various painful conditions and edema and uses specific frequencies for different treatments, like 1-10Hz rhythmic mode for reducing swelling. Precautions include avoiding direct electrode contact and proper placement to ensure current passes through tissues as intended.
This document discusses several laws governing radiation, including reflection, refraction, absorption, and the inverse square law. Reflection occurs when rays encounter a medium they cannot pass through, refracting at the same angle. Refraction causes rays to bend when passing between media at different angles depending on density. Absorption involves rays being absorbed by media, with the amount depending on factors like wavelength and incidence angle. The inverse square law states that intensity decreases with the square of the distance from the radiation source.
Passive movement involves moving a body part without active muscle contraction. There are several types: relaxed passive movements where a therapist smoothly moves a joint within its pain-free range; accessory movements which are small rotational or gliding motions in a joint; and passive manual techniques like joint mobilizations and manipulations. Controlled stretching can also be applied to tight muscles and tissues. Passive movements help maintain range of motion, prevent adhesions, reduce swelling, and stretch contracted structures. They are important for patients who cannot actively move due to injury or condition.

The main joints of the foot include the subtalar, transverse tarsal, tarsometatarsal, metatarsophalangeal, and interphalangeal joints. These joints allow for pronation, supination, and a metatarsal break during gait to absorb shock and efficiently propel the body forward. The foot's unique bone structure and motion are finely tuned to support weight-bearing activities while accommodating varied surfaces.
The document defines and describes various aspects of resistance exercises. It discusses types of muscle contractions like isotonic, isometric and eccentric. It explains principles of resistance training like overload and specificity. It describes adaptations to resistance training including neural, muscular and bone changes. Determinants of resistance training programs are outlined including intensity, time, volume and periodization. Guidelines for progressive resistance exercises and precautions are provided.
Active-assisted exercise involves moving a joint through its range of motion with some assistance provided by an outside force like a therapist or machine. This type of exercise is used when a patient has weak muscles, usually below a grade 3 on a manual muscle test. The assistance provided augments the patient's muscle contraction and is decreased as strength improves. Active-assisted exercise maintains muscle elasticity and contractility, provides sensory feedback, and trains coordination to help regain independence in activities of daily living. It should be done within a patient's pain-free range of motion and only provide as much help as needed for the movement.
Short Wave Diathermy (SWD) is a 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.
This document discusses active and passive insufficiency in muscles. Active insufficiency occurs when a multi-joint muscle shortens over both joints simultaneously, losing tension. Passive insufficiency occurs when a multi-joint muscle is lengthened to its fullest extent at both joints, preventing full range of motion. Examples given are the rectus femoris causing active insufficiency in hip flexion and knee extension together, and the flexor digitorum profundus losing the ability to make a tight fist when the wrist is flexed. The relationship between them is that when the agonist contracts, the antagonist relaxes or lengthens, so the extensibility of the antagonist can limit the agonist's capability,
This document discusses the principles and indications of tendon transfer surgery. It begins by providing a brief history and definitions. The main indications for tendon transfer are peripheral nerve injuries that will not recover. The key principles discussed are: 1) using a donor tendon with adequate strength, 2) using an expendable donor tendon, 3) matching the amplitude of excursion, 4) maintaining synergistic movements, 5) having a straight line of pull, 6) using one tendon for one function, and 7) proper timing to allow healing. Technical considerations and contraindications are also outlined.

The document discusses muscle biomechanics and function. It covers topics such as muscle tension, length-tension relationships, force-velocity relationships, types of muscle contractions, factors affecting muscle function, and effects of immobilization, injury, and aging. The key points are:
1) Muscle tension is the sum of active tension generated by contractile elements and passive tension from connective tissue. Length-tension relationships show maximal tension at optimal sarcomere length.
2) Force production depends on contraction type (concentric, eccentric, isometric) and velocity. Isokinetic exercises control velocity to test strength.
3) Factors like joint type, muscle architecture, number of crossed joints, and sensory
This document summarizes the different types of muscle contractions. It describes isotonic contractions where the load remains constant as the muscle changes length. Isokinetic contractions occur when muscle fibers shorten at a constant velocity. Isometric contractions prevent muscle shortening so tension develops at a constant length. The same internal events occur in each type of contraction, but they differ in whether the muscle shortens or changes length. Motor units, consisting of a motor neuron and muscle fibers it innervates, are also discussed.

Lecture 5 task specific strength2_(pt2) pptJoel Smith
This document discusses several key concepts related to strength training:
1) Eccentric force can exceed maximal isometric strength by 50-100%; the stretch shortening cycle (SSC) increases force and power when a muscle contracts immediately after being stretched.
2) The SSC relies on elastic energy stored in tendons during eccentric contractions. Proper conditioning is needed before high eccentric work to prevent damage.
3) Muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs play roles in the SSC through reflexive muscle contractions and tension inhibition, respectively. Having more spindle than GTO response allows for greater SSC power.
4) Force production depends on factors like joint angle, muscle length, moment
The document discusses the skeletal muscle system. It provides 5 rules for skeletal muscle activity: 1) Movement occurs between the origin and insertion points of the muscle. 2) The bulk of the muscle is proximal to the joint. 3) Muscles have at least two attachments - an origin and an insertion. 4) Muscles can only pull, not push. 5) During contraction, the insertion bone moves closer to the origin bone. Tendons attach muscles to bones, with the origin being more stationary and the insertion being more movable. Muscles rarely work alone and are arranged in groups, with agonists as prime movers, synergists to help, fixators to stabilize, and antagonists that oppose the action. Exercise increases muscle
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a surgical procedure to replace the weight-bearing surfaces of the knee joint to relieve pain from arthritis. The document discusses the relevant anatomy of the knee joint, biomechanics, indications and contraindications for TKA, and key concepts in knee replacement surgery such as femoral rollback and constraint.
There are four types of muscle contraction: isotonic, concentric, eccentric, and isometric. Isotonic contraction occurs when tension remains constant but length changes. Concentric contraction is when the muscle shortens to produce movement in the direction of pull. Eccentric contraction is when the muscle lengthens while opposing a greater external force, causing movement opposite the direction of pull. Isometric contraction happens when muscle length remains constant, resulting in no movement.
The document discusses principles of body mechanics and muscle physiology related to function. It covers topics like stability, equilibrium, effort distribution, muscle fiber types, motor unit recruitment, and roles of different muscles. Some key points are:
- The wider the base of support and lower the center of gravity, the greater the stability. Equilibrium is maintained as long as gravity passes through the base.
- Using larger muscle groups and keeping the center of gravity close to the work load prevents strain. Different muscle fiber types (slow oxidative, fast oxidative, fast glycolytic) support different functions.
- A motor unit is all the fibers innervated by a motor neuron. Maximum strength occurs when all motor units fire together
This lecture discusses the structure and function of skeletal muscle. It describes the different types of muscle contractions - concentric, eccentric, and isometric. It explains the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction and how cross-sectional area, shape, and line of pull determine a muscle's functional potential. It also describes how the length of a muscle affects its force production and discusses principles of stretching and strengthening muscle.
An acute knee injury commonly seen in adolescent female football players is an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear, which often occurs due to hyperflexion and internal rotation of the knee. A Lachman test is used to diagnose an ACL injury by attempting to displace the tibia forward while stabilizing the femur. A prevention program including a 15-minute neuromuscular warm-up performed twice weekly was shown to reduce the rate of ACL injuries by 64% in the study. Knee injuries are generally treated initially with RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) and physical therapy, with surgery such as ACL reconstruction or knee arthroscopy sometimes required.
There are three main types of resistance training: isometric, isotonic, and isokinetic. Isometric training involves contracting muscles without movement through static positions. Isotonic training uses weights and allows muscle movement through a range of motion with constant resistance. Isokinetic training uses machines to provide resistance equal to the force exerted through a full range of motion at a controlled speed. Each method has advantages like targeting specific muscles or joints and disadvantages such as limited range of motion or expensive equipment requirements.
This document discusses knee biomechanics and provides definitions of key concepts. It summarizes the biomechanics of the knee joint, including range of motion, meniscus function, ligament function, and alignment. Key points are that the knee is a hinge joint with rolling and sliding motion. The menisci absorb shock, distribute load, and aid lubrication. The ACL and PCL prevent unwanted translation of the tibia. Proper lower extremity alignment and the Q-angle are important for knee function.
The document discusses peripheral joint mobilization and manipulation techniques. It defines these techniques as passive manual therapy applied to joints to address range of motion limitations from altered joint mechanics. The techniques can be non-thrust oscillations or sustained distraction, or high-velocity thrusts applied at the end of available motion. Proper positioning, stabilization, and application of specific sliding forces are described to safely stretch tight joint capsules while avoiding compression. The effects of increased motion on joint health are also summarized.

The document provides information about the nervous system. It discusses that the brain has two hemispheres and is made up of different areas like the cortex, corpus callosum, and cerebellum. The nervous system allows the brain to quickly send messages to the body. It is divided into the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS has two main divisions of sensory and motor. Messages travel from the PNS to the brain and back very quickly, up to 150 meters per second. Reflexes provide an even faster response that bypasses the brain through pathways in the spinal cord.

Potashner Posture Balance and pathology slides.pptsiddhimeena3
This document discusses the mechanisms that control posture and balance. It describes two main types of postural control - feedforward commands which are planned and learned to anticipate disturbances, and feedback commands which use signals from various sensory systems like vision and vestibular to learn reflexive corrections. Feedback controls include learned responses that produce gradient corrections and reflexive responses like balancing or falling behaviors.
The pulmonologist is a physician who specializes in diseases of the lungs and respiratory tract. They make diagnoses based on factors like hereditary conditions, exposure to toxins or infections, and signs of issues.

Slide Presentation from a Doctoral Virtual Open House presented on June 30, 2024 by staff and faculty of Capitol Technology University
Covers degrees offered, program details, tuition, financial aid and the application process.
4. INTRODUCTION
A force is most effective when it is
applied at right angle.
Muscle’s angle of pull changes
with every degree of joint motion.
5. MECHANICAL EFFICIENCY OF A
MUSCLE
Mechanically the pull is most
efficient when the muscle is
inserted at right angles to the
bone.
Rotary Component: Force of a
muscle contributing to bone's
movement around a joint axis.
6. ANGLE OF PULL IS REDUCED…
<90°
This efficiency is
decreased as the angle of
pull is reduced, because
some of the force is used
in pulling the bone of
insertion towards the
joint representing the
fulcrum.
7. Most resting muscles
have an angle of pull <
90°.
Helps to maintain
stability of the joint.
Closer the angle of pull is
to 90° greater the Rotary
component.
8. ANGLE OF PULL….. 90°
The approximation of
the articular surfaces
has a stabilizing effect
upon the joint which is
greatest when the
direction of the pull of
muscle is longitudinal.
9. ANGLE OF PULL IS INCREASED…
>90°
The mechanical efficiency
of the muscle pull is also
reduced when the angle of
insertion is increased from
the right angle.
10. ANGLE OF PULL IS INCREASED…
>90° (CONTI…)
In this case the joint
becomes less stable as
the angle increases.
Can not exert much
force.
12. EFFICIENCY OF A RESISTANCE
The sustained pull of a force offering
resistance will also be maximal when
it is applied at right angle to a lever.
It will decrease as the angle of pull
becomes acute / obtuse.
13. Resistance can be applied with the
help of rope / therapist hand.
Right angle pull is employed in that
part of the ange in which maximum
resistance is required.
