Write down the translatoric joint play movements. Explain normal grades of translatoric movement?

Image
Translatoric Joint Play Movements: The translatoric joint play movements used in the OMT Kaltenborn-Evjenth concept are Traction, Compression and gliding. Traction: Tra ction ( separation ) is a linear translatoric joint play movement at a right angle to and away from the treatment plan.  Compression: Compression ( approximation ) is a linear translatoric movement at a right angle to and toward the treatment plane.   Compression presses the joint surfaces together. It is usefu l to differentiate between articular and extra-articular lesions. Gliding: Translatoric gliding is a joint play movement parallel to the treatment plane.  Translatoric gliding is possible over a short distance in all joints because curved joint surfaces are not perfectly congurent.  Grade 1 traction is always performed simultaneously with a translatoric gliding movement. Normal Grades Of Translatoric Movement: Normal grades of translatoric movement gives Pain-relief mobilization, Relaxation mob...

Write a note on Faradic current? Explain its physiological effects and indications.

  FARADIC CURRENT: A Faradic current is a short-duration interrupted direct current with a pulse duration of 0.1-1 ms and a frequency of 50-100 Hz. Modified Faradic Currents: Modified faradic currents include the surging of current. they produce a near-normal tetanic like contractions and relaxation. The current is surged , so that intensity of impulses increases gradually. The circuit can b modified by giving surges of different durations and frequencies. Various forms of surges may b available, which are trapezoidal, triangular and saw-tooth impulses. Physiological Effects : The physiological effects of faradic currents are as follows: 1. Stimulation Of Sensory nerves:                                                           When a current of faradic type is applied to the body, a mild prickling sensation is felt. This is due to the st...

What is Bone? Explain the Classification of bone.

Image
What is BONE? Bone is a rigid, highly vascular, dynamic, constantly changing, mineralized connective tissue. It gives characteristic form to the human body. It also gives support to human body. Classification Of Bones: Bones can be classified as following: Developmental Classification Structural Classification Regional Classification According to size and shape. Developmental Classification: This classification includes 3 types: Intramembranous:  In this type the embryonic mesenchyme directly differentiate into bony tissues. It usually occurs in embryo. The characteristic of this type of bone formation is its rapidity of formation, e.g., Bones of the vault of the skull Bones of the face Clavicle. Intracartilagenous:   In it, firstly cartilagenous model of bone is formed which later on transforms into bony tissues. For example, All long bones of the body except clavicle Short bone Irregular bones Membrano-cartilagenous:  At the junction of vault and base of skull the bone...
