1. Passive movement involves moving a joint through its range of motion without active contraction of the muscles around the joint. It is done by a therapist or machine when a patient cannot actively move on their own or has a reduced range of motion. 2. There are two main types of passive movement - relaxed passive movements and passive manual mobilization techniques. Relaxed passive movements are smooth movements done by a therapist through a patient's full available range, while manual techniques include joint mobilization, manipulation, and controlled stretching. 3. Continued passive motion devices are used after limb or joint surgery to maintain movement and limit stiffness and pain. They move the joint through its full range while the patient is in bed to prevent immobil

Russian current is a medium-frequency current delivered in bursts at 2500 Hz. It produces strong muscle contractions through synchronous motor nerve depolarization. Key characteristics include a carrier frequency of 2500 Hz, burst frequency of 50 Hz, burst duration of 10 ms, and a 10/50/10 training protocol. Russian current is indicated for muscle strengthening, reducing muscle spasm and edema, such as following knee ligament injuries or surgery.

Frenkel exercises are a series of movements developed to treat patients with loss of proprioception. The exercises start simple and increase in difficulty, using visual and auditory cues to facilitate restoration of smooth, coordinated movement. Key principles are concentration, precision, and repetition of movements like limb motions and transfers of weight. Exercises progress from lying to sitting to standing positions and incorporate movement of the legs, arms, and whole body. The goal is to improve coordination, balance, proprioception and control through attention to rhythmic counting and placement of limbs in specific positions.

Rebox electrotherapeutic method is based on non-invasive transcutaneous application of specific electric currents to a living tissue. Main indications for using the Rebox include treatment of acute and chronic pain, immobility, musculoskeletal and neurological disorders and oedema.

This document discusses different types of voluntary movements used in physical therapy exercises. It classifies exercises as free, assisted, assisted-resisted, or resisted based on whether they involve gravity, external assistance, or resistance. Free exercises work against gravity alone and are used to improve relaxation, muscle tone, coordination, and confidence. They can help cure or rehabilitate patients, though some patients may be unable to perform them. The document outlines techniques for free exercises and their effects, including improved relaxation, joint mobility, muscle power, neuromuscular coordination, and confidence. It also describes circulatory and respiratory changes that occur with exercise like increased heart rate, blood flow, and respiration to meet tissue needs and regulate functions.

This document defines joint mobilization techniques and provides guidelines for their use. It describes mobilization as a manual therapy that uses passive joint movement to increase range of motion or decrease pain. Accessory joint movements like gliding and traction are explained. Precautions and contraindications for mobilization are outlined. A grading scale from I to V is presented to indicate the amplitude of oscillations used in different mobilization techniques.

The document discusses the principles and techniques of resisted exercise. It describes the overload principle which challenges muscles to perform at a greater level by applying loads that exceed their metabolic capacity. The SAID (specific adaptation to imposed demand) principle states that the body adapts to the specific stresses placed upon it. Resistance can be applied through different ranges of motion including full, inner, outer, and middle ranges. Progressive resistance exercises gradually increase the load over time to continue challenging muscles. Resisted exercises provide benefits like increased strength, endurance, weight management, improved mobility and reduced disease risk.

Joint mobilization is a manual therapy technique used to modulate pain, increase range of motion, and treat joint dysfunctions. It involves passive movement of joints and surrounding soft tissues at varying speeds and amplitudes. There are 5 types of joint movement - roll, slide, spin, compression, and distraction. Mobilization techniques are graded based on amplitude and location within the range of motion. Lower grades are used for pain modulation while higher grades aim to increase mobility. Proper positioning, stabilization, direction, and patient response are important considerations when applying mobilization.

Contrast bath therapy involves soaking an injured area in alternating hot and cold water baths to increase blood flow and decrease stiffness and pain. The physiological mechanism is that it induces vasodilation and vasoconstriction through changes in water temperature, pumping edema from the injured area. The procedure involves soaking in warm water for 10 minutes, cold water for 1 minute, repeating warm water for 4 minutes and cold water for 1 minute, ending in warm water for 4 minutes for a total time of 25 minutes. Contrast baths can treat injuries like sprains, strains and bruises by removing edema through changes in blood flow. Certain precautions should be taken for conditions like open wounds, pregnancy and impaired sensation.

This document discusses pulsed shortwave therapy (PSWT), which delivers pulsed electromagnetic energy in short pulses with time gaps between. PSWT uses a similar 27.12MHz frequency as traditional shortwave diathermy but with lower mean power of 2-5W. It results in non-thermal tissue heating through effects on cell membranes and ion transport. PSWT is shown to increase healing factors like white blood cells in wounds and reduce edema and inflammation. Treatment doses and contraindications are provided. PSWT is compared to traditional shortwave diathermy, with PSWT having non-thermal rather than thermal effects.

Microwave diathermy (MWD) uses electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range to generate heat in tissue. MWD uses a magnetron to produce microwaves with frequencies commonly between 300 MHz to 300 GHz. These short wavelength microwaves generate strong electrical fields that cause heating through ionic movements and molecular distortion within tissues. MWD provides superficial heating that is more localized than shortwave diathermy and penetrates deeper than infrared radiation. Key uses of MWD include reducing pain, swelling and muscle spasm in inflammatory conditions like tendinitis as well as accelerating healing for injuries and infections.

It also outlines general guidelines for implementing a safe and effective resistance exercise program, including determining the appropriate intensity, sets, repetitions, and other variables.

The document discusses three key elements of muscle performance: strength, power, and endurance. It defines each element and describes different types of training to improve each one. Strength training uses heavy resistance for low repetitions to increase muscle size and strength through neural and muscular adaptations. Power training aims to increase work output over time by boosting strength and movement speed. Endurance training uses light loads for many repetitions over long periods to enhance oxidative and metabolic capacities. The overload principle states that muscles must be challenged beyond their current abilities in order to improve.

It describes how muscle adaptations occur in response to different types of training like resistance, aerobic and anaerobic training. It also summarizes the cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular and other physiological adaptations that result from endurance training.

Resisted exercise involves opposing mechanical or manual resistance to muscle action in order to strengthen muscles. As muscles contract against increasing resistance, they hypertrophy and gain power and endurance. Progressive resisted exercise (PRE) systematically increases weight over time to continually challenge muscles. PRE techniques like DeLorme-Watkins use repetitions with increasing percentages of 10 repetition maximum weight to improve strength, while Oxford technique decreases weight in small increments each set to enhance endurance. Resisted exercise strengthens muscles and increases blood flow, with benefits including restored muscle power and maintenance of strength.
