P! in opposite direction of action - R SB/RT and FLX

125
Q

what are S&S for fx anywhere in the body

A

trauma hx
splinting
pain with: palpation, compression, vibration/tuning fork, limited ROM with empty/painful end feels, weak and painful, crepitus

possible + neuro test in spine

126
Q

what are special tests for fx

A

percussion with stethoscope
CDRs and CPRs for fxs

127
Q

what is the bone made of

A

osteocytes
minerals
type 1 collagen

128
Q

what are the 2 layers of bone

A

cortical - outer layer
cancellous - inner layer

129
Q

what is the timing of bone healing

A

timing varies by innumerable factors

130
Q

what is the repair phase of healing for bone

A

1-3 weeks
soft callous or fibrocartilage forms from fibro/chondroblasts

131
Q

what is the modeling phase of bone healing

A

4-8 weeks sometimes up to 12
osteoclasts (destroy) cartilage and osteoblasts form bony and hard callous
fracture line no longer visible

132
Q

what is clinical union and what phase is it in

A

fracture line no longer visible
modeling phase

133
Q

when can a Pt start PT after a fx and what is the rehab focused on

A

4-8 weeks
fracture line no longer visible
more on consequences of prolonged immobilization or other injuries from the trauma (noncontractile)

134
Q

what is the remodeling phase of bone healing

A

months to years
conversion of cartilage for more abundant compact bone

135
Q

what can complicate bone healing

A

OP
amenorrhea
energy expenditure- stress, sleep, diet
impaired circulation
infection
poor load management

136
Q

what can complicating factors lead to in a fx

A

delayed union - slow uniting
non union - never unites
malunion - misalignment

137
Q

how can a fx be fixed

A

closed reduction
open reduction

138
Q

what are the S&S of alar ligamentous injury in WAD

A

splinting, particularly with SB
possible cord S&S loss of den stability

139
Q

if the pt has transverse ligament tear, what S&S could they present with and how could they be decreased

A

splinting
cord S&S - dens allowed to move posteriorly into cord

do manual retraction while stabilizing axis SP to glide atlas posteriorly and away from cord

140
Q

what does the rim resist

A

excessive hyperextension

141
Q

if pt has rim lesion, what can it present with in a scan

A

splinting with extension due to anterior annulus tears
P! with compression (end plate) and distraction (annulus)

142
Q

what are the symptoms of WAD

A

trauma with acute neck and intrascapular referred pain
potential TCN

143
Q

what are the scan findings for WAD

A

observation - splinting
ROM - limited with empty and painful end feels in all directions
resisted/MMT- weak and painful in several directions
neuro - possible + findings because of cord
stress - + for involved tissue

144
Q

why would someone have hypomobility with WAD

A

due to immobilization/disuse and fibrotic scarring

145
Q

why would someone have hypermobility with WAD

A

no prolonged immobilization or fibrotic scarring causing laxity

146
Q

what is TCN

A

located at C2-3 jt
interaction of sensory nerve fibers of Trigeminal n and C1-3
inflammation and/or sensitization symptoms of head, face, and neck
may develop to nociplastic pain

147
Q

in TCN what S&S could be present due to the trigeminal (mandibular) n

A

tongue- altered taste/tingling
ear- pain/tinnitus/hypersensitivity

148
Q

in TCN what S&S could be present due to trigeminal (ophthalmic) n

A

eye- pain, conjunctivitis without red eye, visual deficits

149
Q

in TCN what are S&S that could present due to trigeminal (maxillary) n

A

tooth ache/pain

150
Q

in TCN what are the S&S that could be present due to C1-3 spinal n

A

head- headache, dizziness, paresthesia
face- pain and paresthesia
jaw- TMJ pain

151
Q

what nerve can also be affected due to TCN and why

A

vagus n has nucleus in C3-4

152
Q

what are the S&S that can be given off due to vagus n involvement in TCN

A

irregular HR
lack of sweating
dyspnea
nausea
indigestion
other GI S&S

153
Q

why is balance affected with a concussion or WAD

A

restrograde branch of trigeminal n goes to cerebellum therefore coordination is affected

154
Q

what is the general Rx for WAD

A

POLICED
possibly a soft collar

155
Q

what are the parameters for nociplastic pain with WAD

A

body awareness and stabilization exercises
90 minute session
2x/wk
10-16 wks

156
Q

what are MT and MET that can be done for WAD once outside of acute phase

A

cervical and thoracic JM/manip
deep neck flexor and scapular stabilizer exercises
