Q

What can Severity tell you about the patient?

A

It can tell us how the patient’s symptoms affect their actives of daily living (ADLs)

We would also put this in the ICF model in:
-Activity limitations
-Participation Restrictions

Q

What is Nature and what does it include?

A

It is a broad, conceptual term

Includes:
-The specific diagnosis or condition
-The nature of the patients themselves

(Nociciceptive, Nociplastic, Neuropathic)
-Each clinical presentation is unique
-All factors that should be considered as you are planning the physical exam

Q

What are the three agreements in the Stage of Condition portion of SINSS?

A

-Pain does not directly correlate to tissue damage
-Tissue damage can influence pain
-Stage of condition ≠ Phase of tissue healing

20
Q

In the Stage of Conditions portions of SINSS, what would be considered Acute?

A

Acute: High Irritability and highly sever
-Limited physical examination

21
Q

In the Stage of Conditions portions of SINNS, what would be considered Subacute?

A

Subacute: Moderate irritability and Moderatly sever
-Physical examination seeking impairment
-Treatment control: Movement control

22
Q

In the Stage of Conditions portions of SINSS, what would be considered Chronic (Stable)?

A

Chronic (Stable): Low Irritability and low severity
-Less limited, more vigorous physical examination
-Treatment approach: Function optimization

23
Q

In the Stage of Conditions portions of SINNS, what would be considered Chronic (Unstable)?

A

Chronic (Unstable): High severity, unpredictability
-Limited, Specialized physical examination
-Treatment approach: Patient education and functional optimization

24
Q

In the Stage of Conditions portion of SINSS, what are the signs and symptoms of Coagulation and Inflammation phase?

A

-Redness, swelling, heat, pain
-Pain at rest
-pain with active movement when:
–specific stress to the injured structure

Takes ~72 hours to heal

25
Q

In the Stage of Conditions portion of SINSS, what are the signs and symptoms of Migration and Proliferative Phase?

A

-Signs of inflammation decreased
-swelling usually still present
-Redevelopment of wound tensile strength
-Capillary growth and granulation tissue formation
-Fibroblast proliferation with collagen synthesis
-Increased macrophages and mast cell activity

Takes ~several weeks to heal

26
Q

In the Stage of Condition portion of SINSS, what are the signs and symptoms of Remodeling Phase?

A

-No signs of inflammation or swelling
-No scar formation
-New tissue development

~3 months - 1 year depending on tissue

27
Q

In the Stage of Condition portion of SINSS, what is Acute-On-Chronic?

–Not nociplastic

28
Q

What is Stability in SINSS?

A

Progression of the patients symptoms over time
-Current episode

38
Q

What is Nociplastic Pain?

A

Pain that arises from altered nociception despite no clear evidence of actual or threatened tissue damage causing the activation of peripheral nociceptors or evidence for disease or lesion of the somatosensory system causing the pain

Q

What may you find in the Subjective exam for Nociplastic Pain?

A

-Unresponsive to NSAIDs and/or more responsive to anti-epileptic or anti-depressant medication

What may you find in the Objective exam for Nociplastic Pain?

A

-Disproportionate, inconsistent, non-mechanical/non-anatomical pattern of pain
-Diffuse/non-anatomic areas of pain/tenderness on palpation
-Positive identification of various psychosocial factors (fear-avoidance, behavior, distress, catastrophization)

41
Q

In the Biopsychosocial Model, what are the four elements? What is in each element?

A

Tissue: Inflammation, Proliferation, Remodeling

Input: Nociceptive pain, Peripheral neurogenic pain

Output+Homeostatic mechanisms: Endorphin, Autonomic, Immune, Motor, Pain control

Processing: CNS sensory, Psychosocial, Processing

42
Q

What is Triangulation?

A

Asking questions with outcome tools to point us into direction of pain without using bias

43
Q

What are typical pain descriptors with Neurological origin?

A

Stabbing, burning, tingling, shooting, piercing, electric like

44
Q

What are typical pain descriptors with muscle origin?

A

Aching can be sharp–acute or dull-chronic
