Deformities/ Disease/Syndrome Flashcards
2nd degree burns aka…
Superficial partial thickness
Healing time for 1st degree burns
3-7days
Full thickness burn aka…
Symptoms
3rd degree
White waxy leathery
Pain free
Requires skin graft
For deep partial thickness burns, what position do we want to prevent?
Positions of comfort- nonfunctional n results in contractures
What is the desired position for burns
Anti deformity
Multiple sclerosis
Slowly progressive CNS demyelination
Symptoms: Clumsiness, vertigo, bladder dysfunction, inattention, paresthesia, fatigue, slurred speech, ED
Guillane barre
Motor neurons become scar tissue which leads to muscle atrophy.
Rapid progression of PNS demyelination
Distal sensory loss
Recovery is 2-4weeks
Duchennes muscular dystrophy
Leg muscles go first
Weakness of proximal joints
Gowers sign “she twerking”
Rarely survive pass 20s due to respiratory n cardiac problems
Limb girdle
Slow progression
Pelvic and shoulder proximal muscles are first
Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita
Weakness deformities contractures
Hol up dance
Fascioscapulohumeral
Early adolescence
Mask like appearance
Face upper arm and scapula affected
Difference between myopathy and dystrophy
Myopathy- abnormal muscle function, progress slowly
Dystrophies- muscle weakness, fast progression
Myasthenia gravis
Episodic muscle weakness
Cranial nerves affected
ACH receptors blocked so nerve and muscles disrupted
Ptosis
Flexor tendon repair: kleinert protocal
Passive flexion using rubber band traction and active extension
0-4weeks: dorsal block splint
4-7weeks: dorsal splint, wrist neutral
6-8weeks: AROM, no splint, tend glidin
8-12weeks: strengthen, leisure
Flexor tendon repair: duran protocol
Passive flexion n extension of digit
Difference between dupuytrens and trigger finger
Dup- contracted fascia
Trigg- thickening of tendon
CTS vs pronator teres syndrome
Cts- median nerve at wrist
Pts- median nerve at forearm
Guyons canal vs cubital tunnel syndrome
Guyons- ulnar nerve at wrist
Cubital- ulnar nerve at elbow
Is median nerve laceration ape or claw hand?
Ape
Is radial nerve laceration claw hand or wrist drop?
Wrist drop
Parkinsons symptoms
Tremor pill rolling Rigidity Akinesia Decreased posture Mask Like facial expression
Werdnig hoffman
Infant spinal muscle atrophy
Charcot marie tooth
Progressive peripheral nerve weakness, primarily distal legs
Huntington’s symptoms
Chorea
Progressive intellectual deterioration
Psych disturbances
Friedrich’s ataxia
Unsteady gait, dysarthria, loss of large sensory fibers, scoliosis and cardiomyopathy are common
ALS
Progressive degeneration of CST and anterior horn cells
More prevalent in men; Death usually occurs
Muscle atrophy, begins distally
Dysarthria and dysphagia
What is the purpose of baclofen?
Counteract spasticity
CRPS 1 symptoms
AKA
Causalgia- burning pain, hypersensitive to light touch, sweating
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
HERPES ZOSTER
AKA
Inflammation of posterior root ganglion
Shingles
Tonic clonic seizure
Aka
Grand mal
Most common, aura, tonic phase then clonic phase
Absence seizure
Brief loss of consciousness
Decorticate rigidity
UE- spastic flexed, internal rotation, ADduction
