In this procedure, you are given anesthesia so that you do not feel pain. The doctor then aggressively bends your knee in an attempt to break down the scar tissue. In most cases, this procedure is successful in improving range of motion. Sometimes, however, the knee remains stiff.
Resistance heating is a product of all circuits where electric current encounters resistance; although it has many beneficial uses, it can damage or destroy electrical equipment if not controlled. Anyone who has used a kettle, toaster, or a bar heater on a chilly evening has made the acquaintance of resistance heating.
Insulation in your home provides resistance to heat flow. The more heat flow resistance your insulation provides, the lower your heating and cooling costs. Properly insulating your home not only reduces heating and cooling costs, but also improves comfort.
