Chapter 15 Flashcards
What is the mechanism of injury for 90% of all ankle sprains?
inversion plantar function
What is the cause, sign, and care of compartment syndrome?
Cause: direct blow or excessive exercise
Sign: acute/acute external/chronic excess swelling, deep ache, tightness, weakness with toe/foot extended, numbness MEDICAL EMERGENCY
Care: 2-4 month recovery, ice/stretch, RICE with NO COMPRESSION, surgery to release fascia
What type of injury does the compression & percussion look for in an ankle injury?
A fracture, usually of the tibia or fibula
MC: Eversion ankle sprains make up _______ of all ankle sprains
A. 5-10%
B. 90-95%
C. 20-25%
D. 75-80%
A. 5-10%
MC: Neuromuscular control training includes which of the following:
A. aerobic training like jogging or swimming
B. strength training by doing calf raises on a machine
C. training fast twitch muscles through sprinting
D. training on uneven surfaces or a balance board
D. training on uneven surfaces or a balance board
MC: What type of athlete is at a higher risk for stress fractures of the tibia and fibula & why?
A. High level male & female long distance runners because of high mileage
B. High level male & female gymnasts because of the chronic pounding
C. HIgh level female dancers & long distance runners because of their own percentage of body fat causing hormonal disruptions
D.High level dancers & long distance runners because of biomechanical disfunctions
C. HIgh level female dancers & long distance runners because of their own percentage of body fat causing hormonal disruptions
MC: When treating a shin contusion that’s you suspect could become Anterior Compartment Syndrome, which of the following should NOT be included in the RICE treatment.
A. Rest
B. Ice
C. Compression
D. Elevation
C. Compression
MC: Which of the following is NOT a sign of a shin contusion?
A. intense pain
B. skin cool to the touch
C. increased warmth
D. rapidly forming hematoma w/ jelly like consistency
B. skin cool to the touch
T/F: Functional test are most appropriately used on your initial injury assessment regardless of the special testing results
False
T/F: The body protection & ligament strength decrease the likelihood of eversion ankle sprains
True
T/F: Increased gastroc/Soleus complex flexibility exacerbates Achilles tendonitis
False
T/F: A tight heel cord may limit dorsiflexion & may predispose athlete to ankle injury
True
T/F: With an acute leg fracture, the led may appear hard & swollen indicating possible Volkman’s fracture
True
MATCHING
1. Acute Compartment Syndrome
2. Talocrural Joint
3. Eversion
4. Avulsion Fracture
5. Inversion
6. Plantarflexion
7.Subtalar Joint
8. Dorsiflexion
A. The tearing away of a bony prominence such as a tuberosity from the rest of the bone by the forcible pull of its tendinous attachment
B. Pointing the toes downward
C. The joint formed by lateral malleolus, medial malleolus, & the talus. Allows for dorsiflexion & plantarflexion of the ankle
D. Movement of the foot inward. It is the most common mechanism of injury for the ankle
E. Movement of the foot/ankle in a upward position bring toes up
F. A medical emergency that occurs secondary to direct trauma to the lower leg
G. The joint formed by the talus & calcaneus allowing for inversion & eversion of the ankle
H. Movement of the foot outward. It is relatively uncommon mechanism of injury for the ankle
- Acute Compartment Syndrome
F. A medical emergency that occurs secondary to direct trauma to the lower leg - Talocrural Joint
C. The joint formed by lateral malleolus, medial malleolus, & the talus. Allows for dorsiflexion & plantarflexion of the ankle - Eversion
