Test range of motion proximal only to injury site.

A

False

24
Q

Testing fracture with cast. Which statement is false?

  1. Avoid testing affected muscles, tissues and joints, up to one week after cast is removed.
  2. Use caution when testing ROM of affected joints, do not disrupt any healing.
  3. All passive forced ROM is necessary
  4. Passive Relax, Active Free, Active Resisted are all indicated
  5. Note any muscle weakness or joint restrictions present
A

3

25
Q

In fracture: Reduction with no immobilization. True or False:

Passive forced ROM and Active Resisted ROM is needed until complete healing has occurred.

A

False

26
Q

What are the signs and symptoms of fracture with cast on?

A
  • Pain
  • inflammation
  • loss of function
  • muscle spasm
  • Complication-nerve severed, vascular damage, fascial restriction
27
Q

Give atleast four aims or goals in treating fracture with cast on:

A
  • Avoid interfering with healing process
  • Reduce inflammation
  • Decrease sympathetic nerve firing
  • Decrease hypertonicity
  • Decrease pain
  • Maintain pain-free ROM
28
Q

In treatment of fracture without cast, How many days before the client may do stretching or strengthening affected muscles and joints?

A

7 days

29
Q

The following are aims or goals in the treatment of fracture without a cast. Except:

a. Increase circulation
b. Increase Parasympathetic nervous system firing.
c. Increase hypertonicity
d. Decrease adhesions
e. Wait for tone to return to muscles before increasing ROM. Address compensatory changes

A

Except: c

Correct: Decrease hypertonicity

30
Q

The following are contraindications of fracture with or without cast. Except:

a. Joint testing after union has occurred
b. Avoid temperature extremes to any hypotonic muscles
c. Avoid hot hydro locally, if pins present
d. No traction of affected joint before consolidation

A

Except: a

31
Q

how many are the stages of healing?

A

Five stages

32
Q

What stage of healing where in there is an inflammatory reaction and proliferation of the osteoblasts at the periosteum.?

A

Second stage

33
Q

_________ - Hematoma forms around the ends of the fracture bone within 72 hours of initial trauma.

A

First stage

34
Q

What stage of healing wherein remodelling of the irregular outer surface and reshaping of the marrow space inside the bone take place through alternating osteoclastic and osteoblastic activity?

A

Fifth stage

35
Q

Stage of healing wherein consolidation occurs as the immature woven bone is changed into matured lamellar bone.

A

Fourth stage

36
Q

Stage of healing where in a soft callus or splint is formed from the mass of proliferating osteoblasts.

A

Third Stage

Note contraindication

Check with M.D. to make sure you can use hydrotherapy

True

44
Q

In massage with cast off. true or false :

A

False

45
Q

True statement regarding massage with cast off. Except:

a. Treat affected areas first
b. Can use manipulation to decrease adhesions present, treat trigger points
c. If muscle is hypotonic, can use light tapotement to restore tone.
d. ROM (Active Resisted ROM to increase strength)
e. Stretch affected muscles (7 days after cast is removed) back to normal rangef. Joint mobs to proximal/distal joints(carefully after union/do not traction until afterg. consolidation) can progress to affected joints
