04 Types of MS Injuries Flashcards
List the classifications of injuries
Acute, Chronic and Overuse
Define an acute injury
Immediate pain and impaired function,
Define a chronic injury
Begins as acute then reoccurs due to weakness in the area,
Define an oversue injury
Excessive and repeated use of the same muscle, bone or joint
Define a fracture
Fracture is a break in a bone.
Define a strain
Torn muscle or tendon
Define a sprain
Torn ligament
Define a contusion
Burst blood vessels inside the body that dry hard and inhibit movement eg knee in the thigh.
Define a cut or laceration
When the skin is damaged, via a direct blow
Contrast direct and indirect injuries
Direct injuries are caused by external force such as a collission and cause injuries such as a fracture or contusion, where as indirect injuries are caused by internal force such as overstretching and lead to strains and sprains
Describe a soft tissue injury
When the connective tissue or muscle fibres cannot cope with the stress being placed on them or a joint is overextended
Describe a hard tissue injury
A break in a bone or tooth.
Outline a Grades 1 muscle tear
Minimum number of fibres torn
Outline a Grades 2 muscle tear
Significant number of fibres torn
Outline a Grades 3 muscle tear
Complete tear of all fibres
Define a closed (Simple) fracture
A closed fracture is a break in a bone that stays under the skin
Define an open (Closed) fracture
An open fracture is a break where the bone breaks the skin.
List the two type of hard tissue injuries
Fracture and dislocation
Describe a fracture
Fracture is a break in a bone.
Describe a dislocation
Dislocations occur at a joint and involve the bones forming the joint being displaced
Sublaxation
Partial dislocations.
Outline the Pain Cycle in oversuse injuries
Overload, Tissue injury, Continued activity, Pain, Inflamation, tissue injury
