Q

How should you recover from a tendon injury? What are the dangers?

A

**Tendons should be loaded/conditioned gradually
** Collagen reabsorption occurs in early period of sports conditioning (and immobilization) making tissue
susceptible to injury

A

Sympotoms
1) Causes pain at rest
—Referd pain or radiating pain

2) Applying pressure = pain = jump sign

3) Tender to palpation with referred pain

Q

What are dangers of contusions?
How do you treat?

A

Chronically inflamed and contused tissue may result in generation of calcium deposits (myositis ossificans)

Bones calcify

Treatment—Death Trap—Ice them with the person on stretch—NO HEAT

28
Q

Atrophy

A

Atrophy is wasting away of muscle due to:
1) Immobilization/inactivity
2) Nerve functioning

				(Muscle Shrinking in size)
29
Q

What is a Contracture? What are the effects?

A

Contracture is an abnormal shortening of muscle where there is a great deal of resistance to passive stretch

Generally resulting from accumulation of scar tissue

30
Q

What is Sacropenia?

A

Sarco—Muscle
loss of muscle and strength that can happen when someone gets older and does less physical activity

31
Q

What is Dupuytren’s Disease?

A

It is a type of Contracture in the hands
Unable to flex or straighten hands or wrists becuase of the shortened muscles in the palm

32
Q

What do Synovial joints contain?

A

**Freely Moving Joint: Ball + Socket **

       1) hyaline or articular cartilage
       2) fibrous connective tissue capsule
       3) synovial membrane
       4) blood and nerve supply with muscles crossing joint
       5) menisci (fibrocartilage)
33
Q

Ligament Sprains
What is the most common sprain?

A

Tearing of ligament fibers; result of excessive joint motion

Inversion/Lateral ankel Sprian

34
Q

What are the levels of Severity of Sprains?

A

Grade I
Some muscles torn:
—some pain,
—minimal loss of function,
—no abnormal motion,
—and mild point tenderness

Grade II 
Number of fibers torn: 
		—pain, 
		—moderate loss of function, 
		—**swelling**,
		—**instability** with tearing and separation of ligament fibers

Grade III
Tear ligamnet completely
—Extremely painful
—Loss of function (bc torn all the way through)
—Severe instability
—Swelling
—Subluxation—Partcail dislocation (comes out and back in)

35
Q

What is joint effusion?……………….

A

Swelling of joint
swelling, local temperature increase, pain and point tenderness, ecchymosis and possibly an avulsion fracture
1)

36
Q

….

A
37
Q

What do dislocations and subluxations have in common?

A

Seperation of bony surfaces

38
Q

Subluxation

A

Partial dislocation,
seperation of two bones but then they come back together on its own

39
Q

Dislocations

A

a bone in a joint is froced out of alignment;
Must be manually or surgically reduced;
Gross deformatiy—can see by bilateral comparision (comparing both sides)

40
Q

“Once a dislocation…

A

always a dislocation”
Joints are disrupted

41
Q

Sulcus Sign

A

Test for shoulder dislocation:
place hand on spine of scapual, and pull downward on their humerus
to see if it is dislocated
If you feel movemnt in their scapula they have a seperated shouler

42
Q

How should you treat a dislocation?

A

Like a fracture until ruled out;
don’t pop it back in, you could damage a nerve

43
Q

What is Osteoarthritis? What are some causes? Symptoms?

A

Wearing away of hyaline cartilage;
Caused by blow, pressure or repeated trauma:
Symptoms: pain, stiffness, grating

44
Q

What does crepitus mean?

A

grating. refering to wearing away of cartilige

45
Q

What is a bursa?

A

Its the Olecranon bursua (Elbow);
Bursae are fluid filled sacs in areas of friction

46
Q

What is Bursitis? Sympotoms? what can it lead to?

A

Sudden irritation can cause acute bursitis, while overuse and constant external compression can cause chronic bursitis;

Symptoms: swelling, pain,

Leads to: Calicificationa nd degeneration of internal linings

47
Q

Trochanteric Bursitis

A

Calcification of bursa?

48
Q

Subacromion Bursa

A

protecting the underlying supraspinatus muscle from attrition wear between the humeral head and the acromion

49
Q

Myosutis Ossifcatians

A

Boney deposists develop in muscle;
usally from a contusion

50
Q

What does Capsulitis and Synovitis have in common? Whats different?

A

Inflammation of the joint capsule;

Cap—frozen shoulder; repeated truama

Synovists– instant; edema; thickening of synovial lining

51
Q

Capsylitis

A

result of repeated trauma;
Motion may become restricted and joint noises may develop

52
Q

Synovitis

A

Can occur acutely but will also develop following mistreatment of joint injury;

Chronic synovitis can result in edema, thickening of the synovial lining, and a fibrous underlying develops;

Motion may become restricted and joint noises may develop

53
Q

What is Adhesive Capsulitis?

A

Frozen shoulder —Sunovitis

54
Q

Stress

A

Internal resistance to a load

55
Q

Load

A

An external force acting on the body

56
Q

Stiffness

A

Ability of tissue to resist a load;
The greater stiffness = greater load it can resist

57
Q

What 5 types of tissuing loading produce stress/strain?

A

1) Tension
Force that pulls Tissues

2) Compression
Force that crushes

3) Shearing
moves across parallel

4) Bending
5) Torsion

58
Q

What is Tension? What type of injury do they cause?

A

Force that pulls Tissues

Sprains & strains
(Ligament tear)

59
Q

What is Compression? What type of injury do they cause?

A

Force that crushes

Contusions & Fractures

60
Q

What is a shearing force? What type of injury do they cause?

A

Moves across the parallel
Blistters & abrasions

61
Q

What is Bending? What type of injury do they cause?

A

Combo of compression & Tension
(3 point bend)

62
Q

What is Torsion? What type of injury do they cause?

A

Twisting from opposite ends
fractures

63
Q

Musculotendinous complex

A

Means—The connection between a muscle and its tendon.

64
Q

Cramps? What are causes?

A

Involuntray skeletal muscle contractions
1) Dehdration
2) electrolyte deficiency
3) Sarcolemma potentail

65
Q

Muscle Guarding

A

After an injury; contracting to portect injured area.

66
Q

Muscle spasms? and What are the two types?

A

A reflex to trauma

Clonic—Alternating contractions and relaxations (fast)

Tonic— Rigid contractions (lasts a long time)

67
Q

Where do tears usally occur?

A

In muscle not tendons
