Final Exam Flashcards
Physiological Effects of Message
-increase circulation
-reactive hyperemia
-increase lymphatic flow
-disperse waste, 02, increase lactic acid
Reflexive Massage
-stimulates receptors in skin and fascia
-decreases pain
-ANS response (increase parasympathetic tone)
-GTO activation
-Gate control theory
-release of opiates
Mechanical Massage
-performed after reflexive to decrease pain and guarding
-deeper tissues
-loosens adhesions, scar tissue, trigger points
-realigns cartilage
-increase ROM
Indications for Massage
-decrease SNS, muscle tone, prottective spasms
-evaluate restrictions
-realign cartilage
-reduce edema
-circulation
-increase ROM
Containdications for Massage
-skin infections/open
-thrombosis/embolism or phlebitis, severe varicose veins
-new tendon transplant
-fracture/non union
-acute inflammation
-cellulitis
-synovitis
-absesses
-cancer
-fever
Skin Rolling
-evalutes skinn conectivity and underlying restrictions
-no lotion
-lifting skin
Light Effleurage
-warm up and cool down
-light, continuous pressure
-get used to contact
Deep Effleurage
-medium, continuous pressure distal (light) to heart (deeper)
-promotes relaxation
-decreases pain
-searching for spasms
Petrissage
-kneading, deeper
-grasp and lift muscle and skin toward heart
-push waste to increase lymphatic and venous return
-loosen tissue and increase elasticity
Effect:
-spreads fibers
-tension of connective tissue
-proprioceptive input
-reduce collagen cross-linking
Friction
-deep, circular or transverse mmts
-no skin mmt, move underlying tissues
-where a trigger point, adhesion or scar is felt
-realign collagen fibers
Transverse Friction
-intense perpendicular to tendon
-should be painful, explain
-used for chronic tendon inflammation
Percussion or Tapotement
-brisk, rapid blows with relaxed hands
-increase circulation
Myofascial Trigger Points
-hyperirritable locus: taught band of tissue
-reffered pain, lump, decreased ROM, jump sign
Trigger Point Massage
-related to acupressure
-find point until pain or jump sign
-press on point and maintain pressure (will increase pain then lessen)
Myofascial Release
-mid pressure and stretch
-move in direction of restriction
-superficial to deep
-relieves soft tissue from abnormal grip of tight fascia
Active Release Technique
-deep tissue to break down fibrotic adhesions that restrict movement and scar tissue
-apply pressure in direction of fibers while pt actively elongates muscle
Sprains
Grade 1: ligament stetched
Grade 2: incomplete or partial tear, most pain, most common, reduced strength
Grade 3: complete tear, no pain, loss of function
Strains
Grade 1: Microtearing of muscle, mild pain and swelling
Grade 2: partially torn muscle, moderate pain, affecting activity
Grade 3: complete or avulsion, severe pain initially, defect, loss of function
Acute Stage of Healing
-inflammatory
-pain early in ROM
-0-10 days
-chemicals irritate nerve endings
PT:
-prevent negative effects of rest
-reduce inflammation, edema, pain
-protect area
Teqniques:
-soft tissue
-estim: tens, IFC
-cryo
-joint mobilizations (I-II)
-ultrasound
Subacute Stage of Healing
-proliferation and repair
-pain at endfeel
-2-22 days
-growth of capillaries, collagen formation, wound is covered, granulation tissue
PT:
-mobilize scar
-promote healing and function (PROM>AAROM>AROM)
-develop neurmuscular control
-pt education about 6w healing
Teqniques:
-soft tissue: Cross friction, TP, MFR, AR
-estim: tens, IFC
-heat: increase circulation
-joint mobilizations (III-IV)
-stretching
-Isometrics, AROM, endurance, WE exercises
Chronic Stage of Healing
-maturation and remodeling
-pain at overpressure
-12 days -1+ yr
-new collagen (type 2) to align with stress
-scar formation
PT:
-return to function
-increase tensile quality of scar
- develop functional independence
-mobilize scar
-improve neurmuscular control
Teqniques:
-soft tissue: Cross friction, TP, MFR, AR
-estim: russian, NMES
-deep heat: increase circulation
-joint mobilizations (III-IV)
-stretching
-increase strength
Ligament Injuries
-trauma, mechanical stress, gender differences
-3-6weeks
-85% type I collagen, turn into type III
-30-50% weaker
Laxity:
-3 weeks= mild tension
-6 weeks= resume normal activities
-12 weeks= almost max tensile strength
Tendon Injuries
-singular incident or cumulative
-patial tear or rupture @ junction
-surgical repair essential for full return if >50% diameter
Healing:
-limited blood supply, 7.5x lower than muscle
-type III collagen aligned randomly (proliferative)
-increase in type 1 lonngitudianlly (remodeling)
Tendon Healing Precautions
-AROM 3 weeks across repair site results in poor outcomes
-should be exposed to limitted motion-PROM
-slow progression from PROM->AAROM->AROM->Resisted
Rehab lasts: 6m-2 years
