Q

What is the onset of bursitis following the trauma?

A

12 to 72 hours

17
Q

Test used to identify bursitis.

A

Fluctuation test

18
Q

Fluctuation test: tap on the bursa and it creates a _____________ .

A

wave-like flutter

19
Q

Aim in the treatment of bursitis. True or False:

  1. Decrease swelling and pain
  2. Prevent or decrease adhesion formation in bursa
A

True

20
Q

What are the treatment for acute bursitis?

A
  • Passive relaxed ROM to proximal and distal joints
  • Acute techniques can be used proximal to inflammation.
  • If bursitis is due to trauma - Swedish massage, proximal to injury if indicated.
21
Q

What are the treatment for subacute bursitis?

A
  • swelling technique
  • Origin & Insertion
  • Golgi Tendon Organ
  • muscle approximation
  • Active Assisted ROM (in range, pain free)
  • Trigger Points
  • Swedish massage proximal to injury
  • Reflexive techniques distal to injury
22
Q

The following are treatment for chronic bursitis. Except:

  1. Myofascial Release
  2. Swedish massage
  3. Trigger points (stretching)
  4. Passive Relaxed ROM
  5. Joint mobilization
A

Except: 4

23
Q

Hydrotherapy is used in bursitis by using:

A

cold donut roll or ice massage

24
Q

Remedial Exercises in Subacute bursitis.

A

Passive relaxed – (therapist moves it) Gentle active free Isometrics

25
Q

Remedial Exercises in chronic bursitis.

A

Progress to full function Strengthen to reduce friction on structural elements

26
Q

Home care for bursitis includes:

A
  • Hydrotherapy
  • Remedial exercises
  • Re-educate recreational or occupational activities to prevent repetitive action syndrome
27
Q

True or False:

Bursas become adhered after repeated bouts of inflammation and as a result, do not swell up as much over-time but the pain is just as severe.

A

True

28
Q

It is the Inflammation of a synovial membrane.

A

Synovitis

29
Q

_______________ - membrane lining the capsule of a joint (or bursa).

A

Synovial membrane

30
Q

Synovial membrane can also be called:

A

synovium

31
Q

The following are causes of Synovitis. Except:

  1. Trauma/subcutaneous injury such as contusion or sprain
  2. Irritation produced by damaged cartilage
  3. Exposure to warm environment
  4. Joint infection
  5. Joint pathologies
A

Except: 3

32
Q

True or False:

In acute synovitis the joint has swelling, become tense but no pain.

A

False

  • Synovitis is painful especially at night
33
Q

Give Three signs and symptoms of synovitis.

A
  • Joint congestion
  • Membrane itself can be swollen
  • Increased fluid in joint cavity (effusion)
34
Q

In chronic synovitis what happened to the articular structures?

A

Articular structures become irregularly thickened from formation of fibrous tissue

35
Q

True or False:

In chronic synovitis what happened movement is still allowed.

A

False

  • Movement in synovitis is restricted
36
Q

What are the signs and symptoms of chronic synovitis?

A
  • Joint grating and creaking
  • Possible increased accumulation of fluid (chronic effusion)
  • If effusion persists after initial acute inflammation, there will be a decrease in ROM with a boggy end-feel
37
Q

What are the contraindications of synovitis?

A

In acute and subacute stages, Do not stretch muscle crossing joint or use joint mobs to stretch joint capsule, in order to restore movement. Just maintain ROM using Active Free ROM.
