classification of fraction 3 Flashcards
injury to a muscle when its stretched or pulled beyond capacity, small blood vessels in muscle may rupture- muscle fibers sustain tiny tears
strain
soft tissue injury resulting from a blow or blunt trauma
contusion
are injuries to ligaments surrounding a joints
sprains
first degree strain
mild stretching of muscle or tendon leading to inability to bear weight and causing edema, muscle tenderness muscle spasm
2nd degree strain
partial tearing of muscle or tendon leading to inability to bear weight and causing edema, muscle tenderness muscle spasm and ecchymois
3rd degree strain
severe muscle and tendon tearing causing severe pain and muscle spasm, ecchymosis edema and loss of function
dislocation occur when the
articular surface of the joint are no longer in contact
subluxation
partially dislocation
when dislocation the client reports
hears a popping noise and says it just gave out
assessment of the dislocation
physican manipulates the lim
elevation and immobilization the limb
apply cold pack
perform nero ass q30min for several hours
than at least q 2-4h after for the next 1-2 days
to detect compartment syndrome
s/s of dislocation
the shape become altered a depression may be noted, meaning bores are no longer aloigned arm or leg MAY BE SHORTER, ROM may be limited swelling coolness, numbness, pale and dusky color
inflammation of a tendon caused by overuse most commomly occure repeat sport and work activities
tendonitis
is apainful inflammation of the elbow
Epicondylititis (tennis elbow)
cyst mass that devolps near the tendons sheaths and joints of the wrist pain and tenderness in the area
ganglion cyst
is a term for a group of symptoms located in the wrist a narrow in elastic canal through which the carpal tendons and median nerve pass. repetive wrist motion that traumatizes the tendon sheath and ligaments causes swelling pain burining that radiate to the forearm and shoulder. may be more prominent at night and early in the morning
carpal tunnel syndrome
