explanation of active free exercise ?                          ACTIVE FREE EXERCISE  -                                                                                                                                         Are those exercise which are performed by the patients voluntary muscular effort with out any assistance or resistance by the external force except the gravity
CLASSIFICATION OF FREE EXERCISE
LOCALISED :-                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Are those which mobilise a particular joints or to strengthen a particular muscle or a muscle  group
Eg;- active movement of the shoulder joint pendular movement of shoulder
GENERALISED :-
Are those which involves the use of many joints and muscle all over the body and the effect is generalized
Eg;-Running , jugging , cycling
DISADVANTAGE -
    1-Neurologically affected patients who have poor voluntary control can't perform

    2-Weak muscle can be strong up to certain limit
only


  • It also reduces tone in hypertonic muscle group

EFFECTS OF FREE EXERCISE -
    1-Relaxation
   2-Maintainace of muscle tone
   3-Improving strength and power (depends upon speed ,liverage and duration of    time)
   4-Maintaining flexibility and mobility
INDICATION AND USES OF FREE EXERCISE
1-RELAXATION
  • Rhythmical swinging and pendular movements are used for relaxation of muscle in the region of the joint moved
  • The alternating and reciprocal contraction and relaxation of the opposing muscle groups cause a state of relaxation
  • Relaxation exercise are used for reliving tension in muscle
  • Free exercise which are performed against resistance of body weight or gravity mainly improve strength and power and those perform for longer duration with slow speed tends to improve endurance
2-JOINT MOBILITY AND FLEXIBILITY ARE  MAINTAINED AND     IMPROVED BY FREE EXERCISE

3-MUSCLE STRENGTH,POWER AND ENDURANCE ARE MAINTAINED OR INCREASED IN RESPONSE TO THE TENSION CREATED IN THE MUSCLE
4-TONE ;-Muscle are toned up when free exercise are done
   
5-NEUROMUSCULAR CO-ORDINATION ;-
Improves by practice and repitation
6-CARDIPULMONARY EFFECT ;-
Free exercise increases the cardiorespiratory work by increasing both local and general circulation providing work for the heart muscle
Any type of free exercise in blood demand during contraction of muscle which gets full filled .This leads to fresh oxygenated of blood and removal of metabolism waste

ELECTRIC SHOCK AND EARTH SHOCK IN PHYSIOTHERAPY DEPARTMENT Shock: Shock is stage of unconsciousness which could be due to so many causes. Examples are: hypovolemic, neurogenic, psychogenic and electric shock etc. Electric shock: Electric shock is a painful stimulation of sensory nerves caused by: 1. Sudden flow of current 2. Cessation or pause of flow of current 3. Variation of the current passing through the body Causes of Electric Shock 1. Poorly designed electromedical apparatus 2. Improper insulation of equipment 3. Improper insulation of wires 4. Badly serviced medical equipment 5. Mishandling of apparatus 6. Improper guidance to the patient 7. Lack of proper safety measures Severity of Electric Shock 1. In accordance with the Ohm’s Law, resistance is inversely  proportional to current. Hence, lower the resistance of the skin the greater the current which passes through the body. Therefore, if exposed part of the circuit is touched with wet hands, t...

It brings back the diseased or injured patient to the normal state, and it plays the major role in the rehabilitation of an individual. To perform the therapeutic exercise one should have thorough knowledge on anatomy, physiology, orthopedic, neurology, kinesiology, pathology, cardiopulmonary and some of the physiotherapy related medical fields. It is believed that the perfect assessment of the disease is the 75 percent of the treatment. The perfect assessme...
