16
Q

Define Muscle Contusion

A

Blow to a part of the body tearing/crushing underlying mm fibres and CT w/out breaking the skin

17
Q

Define Repetitive Strain Injury

A

A condition in which the prolonged performance of repetitive actions causes pain or impaired function in the tendons and muscles involved.

18
Q

Define Tendonitis

A

Inflammation of peritendinous tissue

-Occur in response to repetitive mechanical trauma

19
Q

Define Tendonosis

A

Common overuse tendon

20
Q

Define Tenosynovitis

A

Inflammation of tendon sheath

21
Q

Define Myofascial Trigger Point

A

Hyperirritable spot in skeletal muscle

22
Q

Difference between an Active and Latent Trigger Point

A

Active: Painful w/out palpating
Latent: Not painful unless palpated

23
Q

Define Disclocation

A

Articulating surfaces no longer in tact

24
Q

Define Avulsion

A

Injury where body structure is forcibly detached from its normal point of insertion

25
Q

Define Subluxation

A

Incomplete or Partial Dislocation of a joint (depends on specialist)

26
Q

Define Effusion

A

Fluid build up into a part

27
Q

Define Bursitis

A

Inflammed bursa

28
Q

3 Points of Compartment Syndrome

A
  1. Haemorrhage resulting in build up of pressure in mm unit
  2. Increased pressure leads to decrease flow-ischemia-necrosis-gangrene
  3. Causes severe pain, palpable tightness, shiny appearance

*Fascial Surgery Done in 12 Hrs to minimize damage!

29
Q

When does MM strain occur?

A

When tension exceeds the weakest structural element

30
Q

3 Degrees of Strain. Explain.

A

Grade 1/Mild/1st Degree

  • Minor Stretch or tear
  • Minimal Loss of Strength
  • Continue Activity w/ mild discomfort

Grade 2/Moderate/2nd Degree

  • Tearing of fibres (several to majority)
  • May be snapping sound/sensation
  • May have palpable gap in mm
  • Difficulty continuing activity

Grade 3/Severe/3rd Degree

  • Complete Rupture or Avulsion
  • Snapping Sound
  • Gap in mm belly
  • Can not continue
31
Q

Types of Muscle Contusions. Explain.

A
  1. Hematoma
    - Blood collects w/in damaged tissue.
    - Forms lump over injury
    - Can be:
    a. Intermuscular Hematoma
    - Bleeding b/w muscle, fascia
    - Heals Quickly
    b. Intramuscular Hematoma
    - Bleeding w/in mm bundle
    - Inflammatory response exaggerated
  2. Severe Cases:
    - Swelling and bleeding cause shock
    - Fractured Bone, Dislocated Joint, Sprain, Torn MM)
32
Q

A tear in a tendon is referred to as a ….

A

strain

33
Q

A tear in a ligament is referred to as a …

A

sprain

34
Q

Causes of Strains/Sprains

A
  • Traumatic Injuries
  • Overuse Injury
  • Failure to allow minor injuries to heal completely before resuming activity
