FMC Test 2 *Weird things nerves do*

Question 1

What are Impulsive Generations in Peripheral Nerves?

Answer 1

Abnormal Impulses can cause patients to report signs and symptoms not typical with musculoskeletal dysfunctions, this is common when a patient SELF immobilizes due to pain or fear of pain after injury.
- This can lead to Neurogenic Inflammation

Question 2

What is Neurogenic Inflammation?

Answer 2

Injury to target tissue which leads to inflammatory chemical mediators
- The C-fibers (nociceptors) detect inflammatory mediators, then chemical mediators are transported to Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) via axoplasmic flow; this stimulates the production of neurokines

• Symptoms may include: Spontaneous pain for no reason as a result of ectopic foci from the peripheral nerve abnormal impulse generation
