E1-Healing Phases and MET Flashcards
what are the characteristics of direct trauma
obvious trauma
rapid onset of symptoms including surgery
what are the characteristics for overuse syndrome
no trauma
sudden changes in parameters of activity
subsequent onset of symptoms- tendinitis
what are the characteristics of repetitive strain syndrome
no trauma
gradual onset of symptoms without change in parameters of activity
biomechanical limitation or degenerative disease
what are the characteristics of regional interdependence
increased nociceptive response and decreased pain inhibition, peripherally and centrally
gradual onset of symptoms- victim vs real culprit
doesn’t fit traditional biomechanical model
often unsuccessful treatments
what are the general phases of tissue healing
hemostasis
inflammation
proliferation/repair
remodeling
can healing occur without inflammation and vice versa
no, healing will always include inflammation
yes, inflammation can occur without the presence of healing
how long does the acute inflammation last
24 hours to 2 weeks
what are the the acute inflammation cardinal S&S
red
swollen
hot
P!
what is the purpose of the acute inflammation phase
protect and preparation
what happens systemically during vascular reaction
vasoconstriction from pain and SNS stimulation to- shunt blood from injury site, start clotting, slow bleeding
what happens at the site of injury during vascular reaction
local vasodilation and vascular permeability brings cells to kill and clean
what happens at the cellular level during hemostasis and inflammatory stages
serotonin released
platelets aggregate- release growth factors
histamines, etc released for local dilation
WBCs
Because of vasodilation in the local area of injury, what happens
local stasis= edema
increased viscosity
increase of chemicals and acidity leads to chemical muscle guarding
what is the “glue” of cellular reactions in the hemostasis/inflammatory stages
RBCs, cellular debris, fibronectin
what is the general Rx during the hemostasis/inflammatory stage
max protection
POLICED
what is POLICED
protection
optimal
loading
Ice
Compression
Elevation
Drugs
what does the P stand for in POLICED
protection with possible….
activity modification
immobilization- bracing/taping
assistive device
what does “OL” mean for POLICED
optimal loading thru activity and MET..
P! and inflammation
early motion
promote tissue repair
muscle activation to combat inhibition
Why can drugs be limited for POLICED
NSAIDs may impair healing by impairing histamines from causing vasodilation and local permeability
drugs should only be used if ADLs are impaired because of pain
how long can the repair phase last
24 hours to ~10 weeks
what is the purpose of the repair phase
collagen production by respective tissue cell
formation of new blood vessels
restoration of skin
what is the general Rx for the repair phase
continue inflammatory phase Rx
greater ROM restrictions and tissue with manual therapy/MET
progress MET for optimal loading with dose response to direct and protect new collagen but achieve neuromuscular benefits
what general Rx would benefit the following tissues in the repair phase: articular cartilage, annulus, disc (fibrocartilage)
compression, distraction, gliding
what general Rx would benefit the following tissues in the repair phase: bone
compression and distraction
what general Rx would benefit the following tissues in the repair phase: muscle, tendon, ligament, capsule, outer annulus, menisci (fibrocartilage)
tension
