Engage in exercises to strengthen the tendon and consistently stretch the tendon

50
Q

Tenosynovitis

52
Q

Myositis ossificans

Q

Define atrophy, main causes

55
Q

Define muscle contracture, list causes

A

-muscle contracture is an abnormal shortening of the muscle tissue in which theres a great deal of resistance to passive stretch
-contracture is associated w/a joint that bc of muscle injury, has developed unyielding and resisting scar tissue

56
Q

Grade 1 ligament sprain

A

-some stretching and separation of fibers
-minimal instability of the joint
-mild to moderate pain, localized swelling, and joint stiffness

57
Q

-some tearing and separation of the ligament fibers
-moderate instability of the joint
-moderate to sever pain, swelling & joint stiffness

58
Q

Grade 3 ligament sprain

A

-total tearing of the ligament
-instability of the joint (can result in subluxation)
-initially severe pain, can be followed by no pain as a result of total disruption of nerve fibers
-large amounts of swelling and stiffness

59
Q

Diastis

A

Separation of 2 articulating bones

60
Q

Dislocation

A

One bone in a joint is forced completely out of its normal/proper alignment and requires surgery to be put back into place

61
Q

Subluxation

A

Similar to a dislocation except the bones comes partially out of its normal articulation and then goes back into place

62
Q

A

Degeneration of cartilage, remodeling of subchondral bone, and synovial inflammation

63
Q

Osteoarthritis causes

A

Caused by direct blow/fall, pressure of carrying/lifting heavy loads, or by repeated trauma to the joint (running/cycling)

64
Q

Osteoarthritis most commonly affects what joints?

A

Weight-bearing joints: knees, hips, lumbar spine. Can also occur in shoulders and cervical spine

65
Q

Symptoms of osteoarthritis

A

-Most distinct symptom is pain, brought about by friction that occurs w/use and is relieved by rest

-localized tenderness, creaking, grating that may be felt and heard

66
Q

Chronic synovitis

A

-occurs w/repeated joint injury or joint injury that is improperly managed
-involves active joint congestion w/edema
-synovium of a joint can undergo degenerative tissue changes
-synovium can become thickened, exudation occurs, and a fibrous underlying tissue is present
-several movements may be restricted and there may be joint noises like grinding/creaking

67
Q

Outside covering of the bone, and what it contains

A

Periosteum, contains the blood supply to the bone

68

79
Q

Wolffs law states

A

If loading on a particular bone increases, the bone will remodel itself over time to become stronger to resist that sort of loading. (Textbook def: every change in form and function of a bone, or in its function alone, is followed by certain definite changes in its internal architecture).

80
Q

Causes of stress fractures

A

-overtraining
-going back to competition too soon after injury/illness
-going from one event to other w/out proper training in the second event
-starting initial training too quickly
