Exam 1 Flashcards
Strain
overstretch of soft tissue (muscle)
sprain
stress, stretch or tear of ligament
dislocation
displacement of joint that can lead to soft tissue damage or inflammation
muscle tear
muscle coming off the bone that can be complete or partial
tendinopathy
tendon injury from mechanical loading
tendinitis
inflammation of a tendon
tendoinosis
affected by mechanical loading
contusion
bruising
overuse syndrome
repeated submit load or frictional wear to muscle or bone
dysfunction
not working right because of adaptive shortening, adhesions, muscle weakness or loss of mobility
joint dysfunction
loss of normal ROM due to immobilization, trauma, disuse, aging or pathology
contracture
adaptive shortening of skin, fascia, or muscle which prevents mobility or flexibility
adhesions
collagen fibers abnormally adhering to surrounding tissues due to immobility or surgery and causes loss of motion
intrinsic muscle spasm
prolonged contraction due to circulatory problems
muscle weakness
lack of use or neurological problem of nerves
myofascial compartment syndrome
increased interstitial pressure in a compartment that is not expanding
grade 1tissue injury
mild pain within 24 hours with mild swelling, local tenderness, and pain with movement
grade 2 tissue injury
moderate pain that increases with stress or palpation of the area. Some fibers may be torn which increases joint mobility
grade 3 tissue injury
near-complete or complete tear with severe pain
acute stage of tissue healing: duration and effects
4-6 days
swelling, redness, heat, pain, loss of function and ROM, muscle guarding
subacute stage of tissue healing: duration and effects
14-21 days after onset of injury
inflammation and ROM improves but muscles still weak and pain at end range
chronic stage of tissue healing: duration and effects
6months- 1 year
no inflammation but contractures exist. weak muscles and neuromuscular control so increase ROM to prevent adhesions
management of acute phase of tissue healing
patient education, control pain and edema, maintain soft tissue and joint mobility, reduce swelling
joint mobilization for acute stage tissue healing
grade 1 and 2
management of. subacute phase of tissue healing
break adhesions, control for pain, soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, reduce swelling
how to gain range of motion in subacute phase of tissue healing
muscle relaxation and stretching and use of soft tissue tools
use muscle in new range to maintain
management of chronic phase of tissue healing
regain mobility and stability by adding load, working on neuromuscular control and using muscle
