For patients undergoing knee rehabilitation, cold therapy can be a game-changer. The CryoDynamics Arc Knee Pad offers a seamless way to incorporate this beneficial therapy into your recovery routine. At Supply Physical Therapy, we're here to guide you on how to use these pads effectively, ensuring a comfortable and safe experience.
Using the CryoDynamics Knee Pad: What You Need to Know
1. Safety First:
Always use a protective barrier, such as a knee sleeve or a piece of clothing, before applying the CryoDynamics knee pad. This prevents skin damage or frostbite from direct contact with the pad.
2. Confirm Your Equipment:
Check the label on the packaging to ensure you have the correct knee pad for your specific needs. This simple step avoids any confusion and ensures optimal results from your cold therapy sessions.
3. Correct Placement for Maximum Effectiveness:
Align the knee pad so that the opening is centered over your kneecap (patella) and the hose is directed upward. This ensures maximum cold coverage on the targeted area.
4. Securing the Knee Pad:
Begin with the longest strap at the top, securing it around your thigh. Then attach the middle strap, followed by the lower strap around your calf. Adjust each strap for a comfortable fit.
5. Connecting the System:
Press the metal tabs on the hose connectors and listen for the click that confirms a secure connection.
6. Activate the Therapy:
Plug in the power supply near the hose outlet, and push the button to start your therapy session. Remember to follow the 20-minute on, 20-minute off guideline recommended by health professionals.
