INTRODUCTION
Infrared rays are electromagnetic waves.
It lies between visible light and microwaves.
Wavelength: 750 nm to 400000 nm.
Frequency: 4×1014 Hz and 7.5×1011 Hz.
Types IR Lamps
Two types of infrared sources are used in
physiotherapy practice:
Non-luminous
generators
Luminous
generators
wavelength
750 nm to
15000 nm.

wavelength
350 nm to
4000 nm.

Effective
PENETRATION
IR rays produced by Luminous generators can
penetrate into dermis and epidermis.
IR rays produced by Non-luminous generators
can penetrate the superficial dermis only.
Penetration of energy into a medium is
depended upon :
a) Intensity of the source of infrared
b) Wavelength and frequency
c) Angle at which the radiation hits the surface
d) Coefficient of absorption of the material.
Technique of application
Patient position: Position the patient in a suitable, well supported position
with the area to be treated exposed.
 Explanation: Explain the nature and effects of the treatment to the patient.
 Examination: examine the skin to be treated and test the thermal sensation
and also check for contraindication
Physiotherapist preparation
 Non-luminous generators take some time to get heated, so they
should be switched on before 5-7 min of treatment.
 Maintain a safe distance from the lamp.
 Keep the eyes safe from the ray.
 Check if there is any contra indication on patient skin.
 Always take concern from the patient.
 Always keep eye on patients condition if there is any discomfort
feeling or excessive temp. on the area.
patient preparation
Expose the skin to be irradiated and cover or shield the eyes.
The lamp is positioned opposite to the treatment area such that
rays strike the skin at right angles.
Set the lamp at an appropriate distance which is usually 45-75 cm.
Remove cloth from treatment area.
Switch on lamp for 10-20 min depending on surface area.
INSTRUCTION AND WARNING
 The patient is warned that he should experience
comfortable warmth.
 Patient should report immediately if the heating becomes
excessive.
 Patient should not touch any part of the lamp or to move
nearer to it.
TERMINATION
 On completion of the treatment the skin should be
checked carefully.
 On palpation it may feel mildly or moderately warm and a
moderate erythema should be evident.
 After extensive irradiation the patient should not rise
suddenly from the recumbent position or go out in cold
therapy.
DOSAGE
 For acute cases irradiation with infra-red rays can be
given for 10 to 15 minutes daily for 1 to 3 times as
per the requirement.
 For chronic cases upto 30 minutes once (daily) or on
alternate days can be given.
DANGERS
Burns
Electric
shock
Faintness or
giddiness
Headache Gangrene
Injury to
the eyes
dehydration
