Physical Therapy

 

The types of therapy are:

Preventive: We can prevent diseases, injuries, or prevent irreversible damage and rehabilitate worse.
Healing: injury, joint locking, and following the rehabilitation program that the specialist performed for each lesion and patient process.

Pre-surgery: teaching the patient a regimen of exercises to do before the intervention and preparation for surgery and the recovery process.
Post-surgery: rehabilitation and recovery process for an early introduction of daily life
• early or immediate phase sequelae of surgery (scar, edema ...)
• Late stage: pathology which has operated.

Post-immobilization: The muscles will atrophy, frozen shoulder, etc.., Incalcificación in the bones (cast, splint, ...).

Maintenance: Deformities of the spine, gait disorders and rehabilitation, orthopedic and foot disorders.

It uses the following methods:

It is the modality of Physical Therapy in which electricity is used to make biological and therapeutic effects.
4 types are used electrotherapy:
Trains .- That is used for nerve stimulation and reinforcement.
Galvanic .- Used for relaxation and to reduce inflammation at opposite poles.
2 .- Tens used as analgesia.
5 .- Tens used as analgesia and stimulation.

The effects it has on rehabilitation are:

1. Used for nerve stimulation and reinforcement.
2. Used for relaxation and to reduce inflammation at opposite poles.
3. It is used as an analgesic.
4. It is used as analgesia and stimulation.
5. Anti-inflammatory.
6. Analgesic.
7. Improved trophism.
8. Neuromuscular potentiation.
9. Heat, in the case of high-frequency electrotherapy.

TENS: transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is a form of low-frequency electrotherapy can stimulate nerve fibers thick A - alpha rapidly conducting myelinated. Central level triggers the implementation of systems descending pain inhibitory character
Galvanic: DC is one whose direction is constant. In it, the load flow is performed in the same direction: the negative to positive to negative charges, positive or negative if we consider the flow of positive charges. In medical applications, we use a type of power, as well as continuous, is continuous and constant intensity. This is called galvanic current.

 

It is a form of energy from mechanical vibrations. This energy is spread in a longitudinal compression wave and an elastic needs to be transmitted. Ultrasonic treatment means the use of sound vibrations in the spectrum does not audibly, for therapeutic purposes.
Mechanical effect.- Mechanical effect used in the joints and helps to free movement. Cellular micro massage, mechanical effect on living tissue.

Thermal.- Heat is used as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory.

Types of Ultrasound

Continuous ultrasound, thermotherapy is used as selective deep tendon and periarticular structures.
Its strength is controlled by the appearance of periosteal pain if there is local thermal overload.
It can be applied in the presence of metallic osteosynthesis.
Contraindicated in acute inflammatory processes, recent trauma, ischemic areas or with altered sensitivity.

Pulsed Ultrasound: The pulsed emission is currently used for its positive effects on inflammation, pain and edema.
It is indicated in acute and inflammatory parameters as lacking adequate thermal effects.
By not producing periosteal pain, there is a lack of notice of an overdose and one must be cautious in medium and high intensities.

Biological effects:

• They arise from the absorption coefficient.
• Promotes muscle relaxation.
• Increase the permeability of the membrane. Absorption of nutrients at the cellular level.
• Increases the regenerative capacity of tissues.
• Effect on the peripheral nerves.
• Reduction of pain.
• Decreased or increased spinal reflexes depending on the dose applied.
• Acceleration of axonal regeneration and increased enzyme activity in the distal end of an axon regeneration.

 

It is a technique by which power is applied to the body of the electromagnetic spectrum to facilitate its biochemical activity. The energy must be measured and calibrated so as not to saturate the living environment or otherwise insufficient.

LASER means Light Amplified Esmulada Emission of Radiation.

Biological effects of laser

• Analgesia in the irradiated area
• Anti inflammatory
• Anti edematous
• heals wounds and injuries in various tissues.

Photothermal effect of laser

• It is a form of "message" or usable power (mW) by the cell itself for the normalization of the altered functions.
• This is an effect fotoenergético or bioenergy.

Photochemical effect of laser

• It causes the release of substances such as histamine, serotonin, and bradykinin.
• Increased production of intracellular ATP.
• Stimulation of DNA synthesis, protein synthesis and enzyme.
It is used in chronic pain, intense and healing, analgesic and anti-inflammatory.

It is defined as the therapeutic use of mechanical devices designed to provoke and direct regulated body movements in their strength, path and amplitude, is given along with the gym to improve injury therapy, by mechanical devices, exercises, routines, specialized equipment such as tables of hands wheels, cages with weights and pulley system, pulls, pedal board, etc.

 

It is the use of water as a therapeutic agent, in any form or temperature status as it is the result of the use of physical agents such as temperature and pressure, prevention and treatment of diseases and injuries through the water. In its many and varied possibilities (swimming pools, jets, bathrooms, fumes ...) hydrotherapy is a valuable tool for treating many pathological conditions such as trauma, stroke, rheumatism, improve range of motion, restore muscle function, stimulating brain, etc..

The therapeutic properties of water enable us to provide the basis for the treatment of disorders of patients. Exerts relaxant effects, increases the pressure to improve the functionality of the body, increase body temperature, etc..

The hydrotherapy or aquatic physical therapy patients are treated gently with water in different forms and techniques such as:
• Bathrooms.
• Showers.
• Jets.
• whirlpool baths.
• sub aquatic massage.
• Tanks.
• Swimming pool.
• Swimming.
• specialized exercises.

These modalities are used in all diseases as rehabilitation and treatment:

The person focuses his mind on internal sensations, such as breathing.
Guided imagery techniques employing a display, such as walking on a quiet beach, a natural landscape. Progressive relaxation techniques involve gradual relaxation of the muscles. Incorporate the repetition of a phrase or sound silently or aloud, and even a music tour with musical sounds. We also use electrotherapy modalities such as galvanic to relax the muscles.

They are used today by too much stress, preparing for a surgery, sleep disorders, chronic back pain, neck, shoulder, feet, joints. Chemotherapy, post-traumatic stress, depression.

• Anti-stress.
• Chronic fatigue.
• Relaxing.

In the area of child psychological

We work to achieve the optimum development of each of the stages of child growth. Parents are able to see if your child has some difficulty to deal appropriately with different areas of development, requiring professional support.

We are an integral interested in creating spaces that allow children to maximize their development by providing evaluation and treatment for a wide range of emotional problems, school and behavior.

Every child who attends will be applied a full evaluation will aim to obtain a clear and correct the factors that are causing difficulties. That will allow us to develop a customized program for each child to define the type of therapy that will be during treatment.

The methods used to make such an assessment include a battery of psychological tests, which vary depending on each particular case, information obtained through interviews with parents and information provided by teachers, if necessary.

It is noteworthy that within this therapeutic process is expected to actively participate in the child and parent. Getting an effective and lasting change that delighted families who trust us.

• Behavior and performance.
• Learning.
• school failure.
• Family problems.
• Changes: sleep, eating disorders.
• Shyness, low self-esteem and bullyng.
• Aggressiveness.

Psychological therapy for adults

Here in rehabilitation centers also have psychology so that the patient has more comprehensive recovery not only physically, emotionally. Many patients have gone through difficult processes such as accidents, surgery or failed surgeries, spinal cord injury and many of these events can trigger anxiety disorders, stress, low self-esteem and with the help of psychology is more complete recovery.

Attend:

• Low self-esteem.
• Anxiety disorders: depression.
• Couples Therapy: sexuality, infidelity, and special programs.

Electromyography and visual evoked potentials and somatosensory hearing:

Electromyography (EMG) is a technique for assessing and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles. The EMG is developed using a medical instrument called an electromyograph, to produce a record called an electromyogram. An electromyograph detects the potential energy generated by muscle cells when these cells are activated neurally or electrically, the signals can be analyzed for abnormalities and the level of activation or analyze the biomechanics of movement of a human.

Evoked potential

This is a neurophysiological examination that assesses the function of the acoustic sensory system, visual, and somatosensory pathways through responses to a stimulus caused known and standardized.

When a train of sensory stimuli of any kind reaches the brain, causing characteristic sequences of waves in the EEG (EEG), known as evoked potentials. They are different for each sensory modality and its variability also depends on the intensity of the stimulus. Typically have a stable relationship over time compared to the stimulus.

It's a test allows us a fairly accurate assessment of hearing, to be vital to determine if a person hears or not. Carries additional information about the underlying problem, possible cause of hearing loss.

However, to obtain reliable results is very important to the patient's cooperation, being necessary to pay great attention during the test and answer honestly in the same

Audiometry was accomplished by evaluating the "air" and "bone conduction"

The airway: Assesses the ability to detect sounds produced / transmitted through the air, in particular through headphones.
The bone conduction: Assesses the ability to detect sounds transmitted through the bones of the head. In this case, use a vibrator that fits behind the ear.

The human ear can discern sounds with frequencies between 20 and 20,000 Hertz.
The sensitivity of our ears to detect these sounds is not the same at all frequencies, being more sensitive to the so-called conversational frequencies, ie the sound frequencies emitted by our fellow human beings generally. The ability to detect sound, hearing, diminishes with aging, this decline being larger in the higher frequencies, also called high frequency or frequencies. These would be the frequencies above 4000 Hz.
