When it: ||
-Limits patient's ability to participate in occupational roles
|| || || || || || ||
-Limits Function ||
-Limits ROM/Strength ||
-Affects patients physically, emotionally, and mentally
|| || || || ||

|| || || ||
- healing of soft tissue
|| || || ||
- movement of body structures

What is the most common reason a patient seeks medical attention?
|| || || || || || || || || ||
Pain
What can pain symptoms contribute toward?
|| || || || ||
- structural deficits
|| ||
- protective guarding
|| ||
- anxiety/decreased sleep
|| ||
- edema
||
- joint stiffness
|| ||
- tissue shortening
|| ||
- poor positioning
|| ||
- compensatory movements
|| ||
What can pain provoke?
|| || ||
Fear, anger, withdrawal, or anguish
|| || || ||
What can pain symptoms be related to?
|| || || || || ||
- trauma
||
- injured tissue
|| ||
- inflammation
||
,2
- muscular/neurological conditions
|| ||
- degenerative disease
|| ||
- pathological conditions
|| ||
What does pain serve as? || || || ||
as a protective, warning device designed to protect the body from injury
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
What are PAMS? || ||
physical agent modalities || ||
How do PAMS affect pain?
|| || || ||
Control pain in various ways including:
|| || || || ||
◦ Inhibiting inflammatory response
|| || ||
◦ Altering nerve conduction
|| || ||
◦ Increasing endorphin levels
|| || ||
◦ Inhibiting pain transmission at spinal cord
|| || || || || ||
What advantages exist with PAMS?
|| || || ||
-Fewer and less severe side effects than pharmacological agents
|| || || || || || || ||
, 2
-Do not cause sedation and can allow individuals to work and drive.
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
-PAMs can be used in conjunction with patient home exercise programs
|| || || || || || || || || ||
What is OTs goal in relation to pain and the usage of PAMS?
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
-Diminish/resolve pain symptoms || ||
-Understand pathology causing pain . || || || ||
-Modify the patient's perception of discomfort
|| || || || ||
-Maximize function within the patient's limitations || || || || ||
What types of pain exist?
|| || || ||
-acute
-chronic
-referred
When are PAMS most effective in reducing pain?
|| || || || || || ||
During the acute phase || || ||
How long does acute pain last?
|| || || || ||
-Less than 6 months
