FINAL EXAM Flashcards
what are the four variables of stabilization?
joint integrity
passive stiffness
neural input
muscle function
what are the four possible causes of inhibited and/or dysfunctional muscles?
P!
swelling
disuse/immobilization
joint laxity
NOT a damaged nerve
pain phenotyping
set of observable pain characteristics of an individual that results from body + environment interaction
nociceptive P!
injury or damage to an individual tissue at a particular location that is a non-nervous tissue
(MSK + spondylogenic and viscerogenic)
neuropathic P!
nervous tissue is compromised and causes paresthesias and/or numbness (radicular + radiculopathy + peripheral)
nociplastic P!
altered/mismatched/heightened pain perception without evidence of actual/threatened tissue compromise
spondylogenic P!
common, from the spine
local and/or referred spinal P! from noxious stimulation of spine structures
CANNOT cause visceral dysfunction
NON-segmental P! because it is not from a spinal nerve
vague, deep, achy P!
somatic convergence
sensory afferents converge on and share the same innervation therefore symptoms are felt away from the source
viscerogenic P!
referred pain from an organ
vague, deep, achy, and boring P!
neuro scan WNL
not mechanically reproduced
viscerosomatic convergence
viscera and somatic (body) sensory afferents converge and share the same innervation
radicular P!
NOT common
HIGHLY INFLAMED spinal nerve (dorsal root)
electric shock like pain
+ dural mobility tests
radiculopathy P!
decreased conduction of spinal nerve due to compression and/or inflammation
often constant and long duration
may exist with radicular P!
segmental paresthesias from a spinal nerve
follows a dermatomal pattern
+ neuro scan for spinal nerve hypoactivity
peripheral nerve P!
decreased conduction of nerve branch
short numbness duration (temporary)
non-segmental paresthesias (not from a spinal nerve)
often intermittent and short duration
dermatomes, DTRs, myotomes WNL
decreased sensation along peripheral nerve distribution
+ dural mobility tests due to inflammation
imaging: better at ruling in or out?
better at ruling OUT!
4 diagnosis categories and classifications of neck P!
neck P! with mobility deficits (hypomobility)
neck P! with movement coordination impairments (whiplash + hypermobility)
neck P! with headaches
neck P! with radiating P!
4 neck P! Rx regions
cervical
shoulder girdle
thoracic
shoulder region
type I collagen
resists tension
greater in outer annulus
fibrocartilage and bone
