day eight: tendonpathies ii Flashcards
tendinopathies fall in the category of
CTI: cumulative trauma injury or RSI: repetitive strain injuries
tendinopathies can affect
tendons and or the nerves
list four causes of tendinopathy:
trauma induce
decrease blood flow
poor posture
poor proximal stability
itis means
inflammation
osis means
scar tissues
algia
nerve irritation
tendinitis
inflammatory process
cells found in tissue
tendinosis
degenerative process with fibrosis decreased circulation
fibrosis found in the tissue
tendonalgia
pain
neurogenic in nature
free nerve endings are irritated and signaling “pain” to the brain.neurotransmitter
tenosynovitis
the synovial sheath the tendon runs through is also inflamed
tendinopathy secondary to an RSI means that
there is repetitive use against resistance
repetitive sheering
extremes postures for long time
carrying resistance when muscles are stretched
lateral epicondylitis is known as
tennis elbow
lateral epicondylitis def:
inflammation of the tendon fibers that attach the forearm extensor muscles to the lateral epicondyle
specific muscle of lateral epicondylitis:
ECRB
in lateral epicondylitis the ECRB rubs against the
radial head with the elbow in extension
the muscle tends to get stuck in ______ w/ tennis elbow
fiboplasia
lateral epicondyle is the origin for:
ECRB
EDC
ECU
ECRL
LE is not usually what
an inflammatory condition
histological studies show component
immuno-reactive neurogenic component
this conditions sometimes happens with LE?
radial tunnel
what direction should you treat?
proximal to distal
what else should you correct with LE?
posture and strengthen core
if its inflammatory its called:
tendonitis
