Q

what is the purpose of fibroblasts in dense regular CT?

A
  • Function: produce ground substance and various different fibers
  • Arrangement promotes: communication

Q

what does the fiber arrangement of type II collagen tell you?

A

it allows its shape to be changed based on compressive stress and allows for recoil

Q

what do you know exists in loose CT but can’t readily be seen?

A

Reticular and elastic fibers are there, but not readily seen with stains
Promote flexibility and recoil of the tissue

17
Q

what are the abundant purple cells found in loose CT?

A

Purple cells are lymphocytes - inflammatory, immune response

18
Q

what are some primary functions of loose CT?

A

Shock absorber

Allow space to go through

19
Q

how do you know what elastic fibers look like?

A
unstretched = uncooked rame
stretched = cooked stretched out ramen
20
Q

where are elastic fibers found?

A

Lungs and skin, also ligaments need to respond to changes in pressure

21
Q

how do you know when there could be pathology in a tissue?

A
  • increased ground substance aka swelling
  • open BV promoting healing and inflammatory response
  • lymphocytes and machrophages appearance increases
22
Q

what changes with pathology in tendinopathy?

A
• Stiffness and modulus decreases 
• Increased strain
• Decreased stress
• Loss of normal parallel collagen 
bundle appearance
23
Q

what is favorable in patients with patellar tendinopathy

A

CORT - not favorable for long term pain (exer + CORT)

Physical performance, not measured BUT beneficial for short term improvements

24
Q

what is the significance of exercise dose and physical stress theory?

A

don’t want to over do exercise dose to the point of re-injury
but want to progressively keep increasing so that we are moving beyond current limits

25
Q

what is the difference between pathologic tissue and healthy knees?

A

Pathologic has lower force creation ability and stiffness than healthy tissue

26
Q

why are collagen levels increased in some injuries?

A

in the early stages of healing - remodeling phase

27
Q

what happens in injury?

A
Decreased collagen in the affected knee - related to PST: less stiffness, so threshold would be lower
Stiffness is lower
Deformation is increased
Load capability is decreased
Loss of parallel arrangement
28
Q

what were the effects of cortisone shots for knee pain?

A

less results because treating symptoms and not the actually issue, not applying appropriate load to the tissues, degradation overcomes production when you’re not getting stress to the tissues (no stress has negative effects)

29
Q

does tendon thickness relate to having better mechanical properties?

A

NO - tendon may be thicker, but if fibers are not aligned in parallel then mechanical properties are not as good

30
Q

what happened to tendon thickness with cortisone shots?

A

decreased

31
Q

what constructs do VISA-P and VAS measure in ICF?

A

VISA P = participation in activities

VAS = body structure and function/impairment measurement
