Final Exam Review Flashcards
Signs and Symptoms: Whiplash
Pain in normal ROM
Spasms
Weakness
Splinting
Trigger Points
Compensatory Systems
Sprains
Herniated discs
Misaligned vertebrae
TMJ damage
Headaches
Signs and Symptoms: Baker’s Cyst
Synovial fluid leaks into popliteal. Children. Self-limiting.
Bulging, soft mass in popliteal fossa, unilateral.
Signs and Symptoms: Frozen Shoulder
Adhesive Capsulitis
GH Joint tight, limited ROM
Self-limiting in 18 months
Most common in women ages 40-60
Pain and stiffness.
3 stages:
1. FREEZING. Pain. Voluntary ↓ ROM.
2. FROZEN. Adhesions = involuntary stiffness.
3. THAWING. Adhesions resolve.
Pattern in limited ROM:
1. External rotation
2 Abduction
3 Medial Rotation
Signs and Symptoms: Spondylosis
OA of the spine.
Degenerative Joint Disease
Stiffness, pain, some spine swelling. Decreased ROM. Bone spurs, hypertrophy of spine.
Signs and Symptoms: Osgood-Schlatter’s Disease
Inflammation where quad inserts on tibial tuberosity.
Overuse with growing leg bones = bone grows faster than the tendons.
Adolescent athletes. Boys. Hot painful and swollen.
Unilateral
Permanent Lump
Signs and Symptoms: Osteoarthritis
No early warning signs
Less dense than normal bones for age
Increased risk of fracture
Generally in older clients
Lack of calcium absorption/calcium loss
Signs and Symptoms: Sciatica
Mechanical compression of the sciatic nerve along its pathway–>irritation becomes permanent damage.
Pain possible anywhere from hip to big toe.
Unilateral, usually.
Nerve pain: tingling, numbing, burning, pins, electric, numbness, weakness.
No fix.
Pseudo-sciatica: similar, but it’s caused by compression by the piriformis muscle. “Fixed” when the mechanical problem is resolved.
Fibromyalgia
Define
Signs and Symptoms
Massage Considerations
Generalized chronic muscle pain.
Sleep is always disturbed.
Sensitivity to cold.
Low pain tolerance.
Mostly women.
Stiffness after rest + low stamina
11/18 documented “tender points”
Dont use ice.
Indicated, for general wellness, stress relief, and circulation. Be gentle.
Signs and Symptoms: Gout
High concentration of uric acid in blood precipitates as crystals into joints.
Painful, red, hot joints.
Common in big toe, elbow, wrist.
Signs and Symptoms: Bunions
Hypertrophy of the Metatarsal phalangeal joint.
Large or small bump over joint medially. Inflammation. Big toe deviates laterally.
Signs and Symptoms: Plantar Fascitis
Inflammation of the facia of the feet.
From the calcaneus to the metatarsals.
Painful bottoms of feet.
First thing in the morning.
Signs and Symptoms: Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Impingement of the serves exiting the brachial plexus.
Shooting pain, numbness, Weakness,
Parethesias possible.
Signs and Symptoms: Septic Arthritis
Infection in a joint (staph or GC)
Pain, FEVER, redness, swelling.
In those with immune dysfunction.
Osteoporosis
Define and Signs and Symptoms
Less dense bones than normal for age.
No early warning signs
Increased risk of fracture
Define: Tenosynovitis
Inflammation of the tenosynovial sheath.
Define: Frozen Shoulder. Adhesive Capsulitis
Tightening of the GH Joint, decreases ROM
Self-limiting, 18 months
Define: Cutaneous Pain
Pain on the skin from chemicals, irritants.
temp, chemical, mechanical
Define: Spondylosis
OA of the spine. Degenerative joint disease
Osteoarthritis
Wear and tear on the joints. Degenerative joint disease
Temporal Mandibular Joint Disorder
Collection of disorders around TMJ joint.
Strain vs Sprain
Strain-Injury to tendon/muscle
Sprain-injury to ligament
Define: Dislocations
Displacement of joint beyond its normal articulation
Define: Myofascial Pain Syndrome
Muscle’s inappropriate response to trauma; sets up spasm-pain cycle; disallows proper healing
Define: Avascular Necrosis
“Without blood, it dies”. Death of bone tissue because of lack of blood supply.
