Chapter 3 Flashcards
What are epimysium, endomysium and perimysium made of?
connective tissue
tendons connect to
muscle to bone
contributing factor to trigger points
pain-spasm-ischemia cycle
best description of a myofascial trigger point
area of hyper-toxicity has local & referred pain
Most common cause for myositis ossificans
injury by blunt trauma
Who most likely to develop mysoistis ossificans
spinal cord injury survivors
Injury most commonly associated with shin splints
medial tibial stress syndrome
What feature of lower leg construction contributes to risk of shin splints
4 tough fascial compartments that separate the lower leg muscles
What phase requires immediate medical intervention
acute
Do to muscles in spasm as part of splinting mechanism
locally avoid massage until subacute or postacute stage
Associated with exercise-associated muscle cramping
dehydration, hyperthermia, overstimulation
most effective treatment for a strain
controlling inflammation & rehabilitation of damaged tissues
calcium is pulled off bones faster than it is deposited
osteoporosis
What bones are most vulnerable to osteoporosis
femur & vertebrae
Why women more prone to osteoporosis
child bearing, breast feeding, and smaller bones
Paget disease
bone is reabsorbed faster than normal & replaced with fibrous connective tissue
hyperkyphosis
humpback
structural postural deviation
soft tissue pulls vertebrae & ribs into permanent distortion
subluxation
bones are out of optimal alignment
formation of uric acid crystals around joints
gout
joint most likely to be affected by gout
1st metatarsal & proximal phalanx
why does gout tend to occur in the feet
gravity & lower temperature of extremities
lyme disease
bacterial infection caused by tick bite
symptoms associated with Lyme disease
bull’s eye rash
degenerative joint disease
osteoarthritis
leading risk factor for osteoarthritis
age, wear & tear & overweight
how does osteoarthritis usually begin
damage to articular cartilage
