Diagnostic And Treatment - Muscles

Question 1

Deep tendon reflexes ( DTR)

Answer 1

• tested with reflex hammer
• strike a tendon
• Eg strike a knee during physical

Question 2

Range of motion testing ( ROM)

Answer 2

• diagnostic procedure to evaluate
  
  • joint mobility
  • muscle strength

Question 3

Electromyography (EMG)

Answer 3

• diagnostic test

- measures electrical activity within muscle fibers

Question 4

Muscle biopsy

Answer 4

• removal of a plug of tissue for examination

- a needle is used to get specimen

Question 5

Antispasmodics

Known as ‘ anticholinergic’

Answer 5

• given to suppress muscle contraction of smooth muscles
  Eg. ‘Atropine’ given before surgery to relax smooth muscles
• muscles of stomach, urinary bladder, intestine

Question 6

Skeletal muscle relaxant

Answer 6

• • given to relax

- for stiffness and pain

Question 7

Neuromuscular blocker

Answer 7

• known as ‘ neuromuscular blocking agent ‘
• causes temporary paralysis by blocking nerve stimuli to the muscles
• used adjunct to anesthesia during surgery

Question 8

Ergonomics

Answer 8

• study of human factors that affect the the design and operation of tools and the worn environment

Question 9

Myofascial release

Answer 9

- specialized soft tissue management
For 
- fibromyalgia
- TMI
-

Question 10

OT
PT
Therapeutic ultrasound -
TENS ( Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation )

Answer 10

RICE 
- Rest 
- Ice 
- Compression
-Elevation 
Best as soon as injury occurs 

After the initial pain is contained 
- use heat 
- stretching 
- light exercise 
To speed healing

Question 11

Fasciotomy

Otomy- surgical incision

Answer 11

• surgical incision through fascia to relieve tension or pressure

Question 12

Fascioplasty

Plasty= surgical repair

Answer 12

Surgical repair of fascia

Question 13

Tenodesis

DESIS- bind or tie together

Answer 13

• surgical suturing of the end of a tendon to a bone

Opposite is tenolysis
- surgical loosening of tendon from adhesions

Question 14

Tenorraphy

Raphy= surgical suturing

Answer 14

• surgical suturing of divided ends of a tendon

Question 15

Ten Otomy

Otomy- surgical incision

Answer 15

1. ultrasound guided Percutaneous needle tenotomy (PNT)
   - treat chronic tendon pain using PNT to stimulate scar tissue healing
2. Platelet rich plasma therapy
   In conjunction with PNT
   - some of the patients blood is injected into the scar tissue to promote increased blood flow and healing

Question 16

Mayorraphy

Answer 16

Surgical suturing of a muscle

Question 17

Myotomy

Answer 17

Surgical incision into a muscle
