Traction
A desired effect of mechanical traction whereby radiuclar symptoms do not extend as far down an extremity
What is Centralization?
A form of compression that causes an accumation of metabolites and stimulates muscle protein synthesis
What if Blood Flow Restriction?
A single wavelength of light traveling in an organized, concentrated beam
What is Collimation?
Massage technique used to mobilize lung secretions
What is tapotement
This affects the cervical spinal level at which mechanical traction is most tagetted
What is the angle of pull
Impaired sensation due to peripheral nerve injury
What is a Contraindication to Intermittent Compression
Joules per square centimeter
What is the measurement by which energy density is measured?
Massage technique used to mobilize and lengthen deeper tissues
Petrissage
This is used to reduce friction of the patient body sliding on the table
What is the "Split table"
An effect of compression therapy that results in improved lymphatic fluid circulation and reduced edema
The stimulation of mitochondrial activity and ATP production in response to LASER
What is Photobiomodulation?
Massage technique used to facilitate circulation and venous flow
What is Effluerage
30% of a patients body weight
A type of compression that creates a "milking" effect, pushing fluids proximally, then releasing and repeating
What is intermittent compression?
The 4 factors that influence the effectiveness of LASER
What are wavelength, power density, dosage, and treatment duration?
Therapeutic effect of massage that causes relaxation of muscles by tensioning the Golgi Tendon Organs and downregulating the stretch reflex
Mechanical Effect
A type of disc protrusion that would not benefit from traction, as it could cause possible encroughmen ton the central cord
What is a Medial Disc Protrusion?
10% less than diastolic blood pressure
The recommended pressure to be used with compression modalities
The part of the mitochondira that absorbs light from the visible and near-infrared spectrum to produce a biochemical change
What is the Chromophore
Receptors stimulated by massage, resulting in decreased HR and cortisol production
What are Baroreceptors
