TECHNIQUES OF
APPLICATION OF
INFRARED
RADIATION
CHOICE OF APPARATUS
CHOOSE THE MODALITY
i.e LUMINOUS OR NON-
LUMINOUS
NON-LUMINOUS
• A COIL OF WIRE WOUND ON A CYLINDER OF SOME INSULATING
MATERIAL
• ELECTRICAL CURRENT PASSES THROUGH WIRE AND PRODUCES HEAT
• LAMP TAKE UPTO 15 MINUTES TO REACH MAXIMUM EMMISSION
• USED IN ACUTE CONDITIONS
FOR EXAMPLE HOT PACKS
LUMINOUS
• ELECTRICALLY HEATED FILAMENT
• FOR EXAMPLE ; QUARTZ LAMP AND TUNGSTEN LAMP etc
• PAINT REDUCTION VIA COUNTER IRRETENT EFFECT
• USED IN CHRONIC INFLAMMATION
•APPARATUS SHOULD BE IN WORKING ORDER
•PRE-HEATED AT LEAST 5 MINUTES BEFORE
HEATING
•NOTE THE VOLTAGE OF EMMITER
•USUALLY LAMPS WITH EMITTERS FROM 250-
1000 WATTS ARE USED
PREPARATION OF PATIENT
• POSITION OF THE PATIENT SHOULD BE
COMFORTABLE AND ADEQUATE
• AVOID UNDUE MOVEMENT OF THE
PATIENT
• THE PART TO BE TREATED SHOULD BE
EXPOSED AND REST OF THE BODY SHOULD
BE COVERED
• PROTECT THE EYES OF THE PATIENT
• TEST THE SKIN SENSATION OF THE PATIENT
• REMOVE ALL METAL OBJECTS LIKE RINGS AND
SAFETY PINS ETC
ARRANGEMENT OF LAMP AND PATIENT
• ARRANGE THE LAMP SO THAT THE RAYS STRIKES THE
SKIN AT RIGHT ANGLES
• NEVER POSITION THE LAMP OVER PATIENT
• THE DISTANCE OF LAMP FROM THE PATIENT SHOULD
BE MEASURED
• Distance should be 50cm to 70cm
• SET THE TIMER
• FOR ACCUTE CONDITIONS DURATION SHOULD BE 10-
15 MINUTES AND FOR CHRONIC CONDITIONS IT
SHOULD BE 30 MINUTES
AT THE END OF TREATMENT
• COVERED THE AREA EXPOSED WITH A DRY TOWEL
• REMOVE THE LAMP TO A SAFE LOCATION
• INSPECT THE AREA EXCPOSED , FOR ERYTHEMA PRODUCED
• ERYTHEMA; is redness of the skin or mucous membranes, caused
by hyperemia (increased blood flow) in superficial capillaries.
• ASK THE PATIENT HOW HE OR SHE IS FEELING NOW
• ASK TO PATIENT TO DRESS UP
