Q

If cartilage is not loaded what happens?

A

It deprives the tissue of the processes required for healthy functioning (ie. no compression, no movement of nutrients in or out).
Also leads to changes in the collagen, there are weaker bonds and the ECM becomes unorganized (it all starts to look like the middle zone, mesh).

Q

What occurs when a bone is not loaded or doesn’t experience mechanical forces?

A

Osteopenia

Slide says osteogenesis but that is the formation of bone which only happens if you load bones

Q

What are some of the things that happen to muscles as you age?

A

Cross sectional area is reduced, their ROM is decreases and the power they can produce is also reduced

Q

What happens to tissues with prolonged corticosteriod use?

A

Weakens passive tissues and there is an abnormal turnover collagen fibers

Q

True or false: Non-steriodal anti-inflammatory drugs do NOT interfere with the tissue healing process

A

False, they do interfere. The related healing potential is weaker when NSAID’s are taken

Q

Why as PT’s should we understand the healing process?

A

We need to recognize the S&S associated with different healing phases so we can effectively incorporate the right treatment at the right time

Q

What is a platelet?

A

An irregular disc shaped element in the blood to assist with clotting

17
Q

What are leukocytes?

A

White blood cells involved in the inflammatory process

18
Q

What are the two types of leukocytes

A

Mononuclear or Agranular
and
Polymorphonuclear or Granular

19
Q

What are the subtypes of Agranular/Mononuclear Leukocytes?

A

Monocytes/macrophages, and lymphocytes

“The Defenders”

20
Q

What are the subtypes of Granular/Polymorphonuclear leukocytes?

A

Esinophils, basophils and neutrophils.

“The Killers “

21
Q

What are fibroblasts?

A

They are flat cells in the dermis of the skin and structural tissues (ligaments and tendons)

22
Q

What is a fibroblasts function during injury

A

They synthesize collagen for wound closure (help with forming a scar) and they also help with ECM remodelling (degradation and production of collagen)

23
Q

True or false: the healing process is a continuum

A

True

24
Q

What are the three stages to the healing process?

A

Inflammatory Response
Fibroblastic/Repair Phase
Maturation/Remodeling Phase

25
Q

What characterizes the inflammatory response?

A

Redness, swelling, tenderness, increased temp, loss of function, typically 0-4 days after injury

26
Q

True or false: after an injury homeostasis can take hours to days to occur

A

False, homeostasis occurs within seconds to stop blood loss

27
Q

What characterizes the fibroblastic/repair phase?

A

Deminishing pain and tenderness, gradual return to function, typically 2 days - 6 weeks after initial injury

28
Q

In the fibroblastic phase one of two things can happen, what are those things?

A

Regeneration - process to replace necrotic cells with new ones of the same type
OR
Reparative - process to replace necrotic cells with collagen to form scar tissue

29
Q

Whether a regenerative or reparative process occurs depends on two things, what are they?

A

The extent of the injury and the type of tissue (whether the cells can divide or not)

30
Q

What occurs during revascularization?

A

The lack of O2 stimulates the growth of capillary buds into the wound which means the wound can now heel aerobically (with O2). The new blood flow delivers nutrients to tissue regeneration however, the vessels tend to be leaky so the tissue around the injury appears wet.

31
Q

(Increase/Decrease)
When forming a scar, as more collagen is being laid down the strength of the scar is ______. But as the strength of the scar _____ there are _____ fibroblasts so there is _____ collagen being laid down

A

strength of the scar is increasing. But as the strength of the scar increases there are decreased amount of fibroblasts so there is a decreased amt of collagen

32
Q

The maturation/remodeling phase is characterized by what?

A

A strong contracted scar, increasing strength and full return to function. Could be 3 weeks to 2 years after initial injury

33
Q

What are the intrinsic factors that impact healing?

A 
Extend of Injury
Edema
Hemorrhage
Poor Vascular Supply
Tissue Separation
Muscle Spasm
Atrophy
Scarring
34
Q

What are the systemic factors that impact healing?

A 
Age
Obesity
Malnutrition
Hormone Levels
Infection
General Health
35
Q

What are the extrinsic factors that impact healing?

A 
Drugs
Dressings
Temperature
Physical Modalities
Exercise
36
Q

If there is a cartilage injury that does not reach the subchondral bone will it heal?

A

No, it becomes necrotic and dies. Because cartilage is avascular

37
Q

If there is a cartilage injury that does reach the subchondral bone does it have a chance at healing?

A

Yes, because then the blood supply of the bone can help with healing. However, it will not heal back as cartilage, it will be biochemically and mechanically different
