17
Q

how is the subacute phase of healing managed?

A

carefully balancing an appropriate amount of stress to facilitate healing but not over stressing to cause a regression

18
Q

how long does connective tissue respond well to remodeling stress?

A

8-10 weeks

19
Q

what are the goals for the chronic phase of healing? (4)

A

(1) decrease pain from stress on contractures / adhesions
(2) increase muscle strength
(3) increase mobility
(4) progress functional independence

20
Q

how long can chronic management last?

A

12-18 months

21
Q

what is osteoporosis?

A

a systematic skeletal disorder characterized by decreased bone strength than increases a person’s risk of fracture

22
Q

what is osteopenia?

A

low bone mass (start of osteoporosis)

23
Q

how long are bones immobilized after a fracture?

A

few as 3 weeks for small bones; 8 weeks for larger bones

24
Q

how long does osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity last after a bone has been fractured?

A

up to 2-3 years

25
Q

what can be said about the healing of cartilage?

A

(1) healing is limited and variable

(2) healing depends upon severity and involvement of subchondral bone

26
Q

what are the reps for holten’s curve?

A
50% - 31+ reps
60% - 25-30 reps
75% - 15-20 reps
80% - 8-12 reps
90% - 4-6 reps
27
Q

what are you targeting for different ranges in holten’s curve?

A
50% - vascularity, tissue healing, mobilization
60% - coordination / endurance
75% - strength / endurance
80% - strength
90% - strength / power
28
Q

what are 3 ways stress can be manipulated?

A

(1) intensity
(2) time
(3) direction

29
Q

what does stress that is less than maintenance result in? what about stress applied greater than maintenance?

A

(1) less than maintenance = atrophy (decreased tolerance)
(2) at maintenance = no change
(3) more than maintenance = hypertrophy (increased tolerance)

30
Q

what can excess stress to tissues lead to?

A

tissue injury, or tissue death with extremely excessive stress

31
Q

what are 4 factors that affect physical stress and adaptations of tissues?

A

(1) movement / alignment
(2) extrinsic
(3) psychosocial
(4) physiological

32
Q

what muscle is considered the agonist muscle when using PNF stretching?

A

the muscle opposite of the range limiting muscle

33
Q

what muscle is considered the antagonist muscle when using PNF stretching?

A

the range limiting muscle

34
Q

what is the SAID principle?

A

specific adaptation to imposed demands

35
Q

how much mobility does the median nerve have?

A

10mm

36
Q

how much mobility does the ulnar nerve have?

A

8mm

37
Q

how much does a nerve regenerate per day?

A

1mm

38
Q

what is convergence?

A

when tension is placed on a nerve bed; nerve gliding is towards the moving joint

39
Q

what is divergence?

A

when tension is relieved; nerve gliding is away from the moving joint

40
Q

how do you maximally stretch the median nerve?

A
