(b) Exercises, occupational therapy, to promote movement. The routine plan just outlined may be supplemented by other physical methods when indicated, and modified to suit the existing circumstances. For instance: CEdema. which constitutes a great hindrance to repair processes and also to mobility, can be controlled by means of massage, elevation of the limb, faradism under pressure, firm bandaging. (Crepe bandages, elastic webbing, Elastoplast or semiplast.) Adhesions-contracted scar tissue-keloid and induration can be attenuated persistent means of ionization or when by iodine in superficial conditions, X-ray therapy deeper structures are involved. Circumscribed allergic skin reactions such are encountered in the course as occasionally of localized infections (erysipeloid) appear to to the electrical introduction of respond the adrenaline and calcium ion into the affected regions. While on the subject of electrical introduction of ions, I should like to mention that, in collaboration with my surgical we for time made of colleagues, have
