The Tools of Physical Therapy

- Ultrasound equipment
- Muscle stimulation
- Electrods
- Weights
- Cameras( Photograph and video)
- Tables for make the exercises for pacients
- Bycicles
- Aquatic tools,
like aquatic gloves:





Too, Exist the Delta Bells, wich is unique triangular shape allows wich is grate in patients, when they mustwork the muscular power, they could choose the resistance level with the turn of a wrist. Constructed of buoyant foam with comfortable padded hand grips, they can also be used for added balance and support during abdominal or leg workouts. I think that is a very strange thing, very cool, but it looks like somthing brings from a movie!

A lot of our tools, make the exercises easier and more localize, like this thing, calls "economy rebounder". That eccentric artefact is just a trampoline, but the angle make it an localized artefact, and a great tool for us.



And, in the respiratory treatment, there is the nebulizers, kits for compress the air,
Electronic Vibrating Mesh Technology wich creates a dense therapeutic aerosol, special for tha patients with asma, or patients with Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). I like a lot the respiratory pathologies, i think than it could be my speciality in the future.

Well, talking about "localized" things, this is something is very very localized and very very expensive, the Shoulder wheel, wich we can use this to measure and increase shoulder ROM. The 30" height adjustment allows the patient to use while sitting or standing.
I think this is great, i love when the technology works for make better our life ( and not make worst like a lot of times)


The problem is the price, $313.65! that's like 150 lukas in Chile!, with that, a person in Chile can eat in the month!,but nevermind, that's the way of this capitalism, and... if we think in the patient, that isn't so expensive if we think in the benefits wich could brings to the patient.

And we use bandage (a lot) for support parts of the body, that is something what we use very often, that is like our phonendoscope.

Well, in the world exist so many articles for physical theraphy like the kinds of cheese, but i just put this tools because this things were more striking, and more strange.

Post 2: The mp3 and me!





My favourite technologic thing is the mp3, and the reason is how make easier the distribution of the music in the our lifes, and that make a big change in our life styles, because that promote lifes with a lot of music in every secondon of our lifes, there isn't people who NEVER had a mp3, that's is something insane in our times!

Well, when i have a mp3 , i can't get it off, i love have every moment with music,
i enjoy it, a lot!, but the problem is that my mp3 is broke, and i can't enjoy that divine priviliege, that's the saddest thing in my life, but i know than the moment when i have my OWN mp3, that will be the greatest moment of my life... really, i need music every day, if i haven't it, i put a little crazy.

The Mp3 is an amazing thing, becaus i can put colors and sounds to the things, to the moments, i can make me happier if i'm sad,except when i'm very bad, that state drives me, to hear sad songs and walk like the world is the worst thing in the world, but that's isn't so terrible, because i do it for be happier, i know than " after the rainbow always the sun comes out"


And my life without the mp3? well, it's just like could be always, isn't a big problem don't have that, i shall miss a lot the music, wonderwall, help, imagine, ell, a lot of themes, but i don't miss buy and buy a battery every day!

Hi men or girl!
My name is Alvaro and i'm a student of Physical Therapy at the "Universidad de Chile", and i want culminate this in Africa, where the stones burns.
By the way, I live in santiago, this is a great place, because it's have a lot of events, and an immense number of events that make me (sometimes) forget all the pollution in this place. That pollution which do worst everyday my lungs.
Well, my most striking characteristic is a white tuft in my hair, i'm thin and high, moreover i'm not a very sociable person, but that wasn't a problem for make friends, my problem isn't the sociabilty, the problem is that i like talk themes which just a little group of people talk, and talk about another things make the process of "meeting" a little boring. Well, how i said, i'm studying Kinesiology, a carrer which try to get better the life of the people, using the knowing about the human body. And now we are learning everything about that, the conformation on the cell and the foundations of its structures and shapes. For example, in the last class we learned the characteristics of the lipid membrane on the cell, and we learned thermodinamic, and Organic Chesmitry too. And finally, about another thing, in the last class of english, i talked for a big while in english (i never have been talked too many time in english) and the last time when i did it, was a lot of time before, and in that class we try improve the listening hability. That is what i want, i want gets by very well in english, not for a test, i want learn this for have another tool for this crazy world, for read documents about science, about phylosophy, about a lot of thing, i hope have the hability for hear song and understand (well, since english started i have advanced a lot, even i am hearing parts of songs, and that is very very cool.

And without another thing for tell you

bye bye!
