Assessment Flashcards
Types of Pain
radicular pain
radiculopathy
cutaneous pain
deep somatic pain
visceral pain
referred pain
functional or psychogenic pain
bone pain
vascular pain
radicular pain
nerve root compression- sharp shooting pain felt in a dermatome and myotome
radiculopathy
radiating paresthesia, numbness or weakness, not pain
cutaneous pain
superficial tissue damage
deep somatic pain
from muscles, joint, tendons, periosteum
Severe chronic aching pain, hard to localize
visceral pain
from distention, ischemia, abnormal contractures
characterized by diffuse severe pain and can have a referral pattern
referred pain
from cutaneous, deep somatic and visceral pain
felt deeply, indistinct away from injured area
functional or psychogenic pain
psychological or emotional pain
pain heightened, caused or prolonged due to anxiety, depression or hysteria or client exaggerate their symptoms
bone pain
deep, boring and localized
vascular pain
diffuse, aching
Types of Mechanical forces
compression
tension
shear
torsion
bending
MF- Compression
structures pressed together
MF - Tension
a force pulls end of tissue away from each other
MF - Shear
sliding forces between 2 tissues = friction
MF - Torsion
rotation or twisting force
MF - Bending
compression on one side and stretch to the other
Gait Phase list
Stance Phase: initial contact, load response, mid-stance, terminal stance, pre-swing
Swing Phase: Initial swing, mid-swing, terminal swing
Initial contact
Heel is usually the first point of contact. Weight is aligned between the two limbs
Load response
instinctive assessment on whether or not the will bear the weight of the body
mid stance
foot supports the body, the hip and knee move into extension and the trunk is aligned over the stance leg
terminal stance
hip, knee and ankle begin to flex and heel comes up off the ground
pre-swing
only toes are in contact with the ground
initial swing
hip continues to flex and medially rotate as the knee flexes. ther ankle moves into dorsiflexion to clear the ground, while the trunk is aligned with the new stance leg
mid swing
hip knee and ankle continue to flex
