Q

what is the difference between a serious and a non-life threatening/non-serious injury

A

serious injuries are likely to cause long term problems. Non-life threatening/non-serious is is shorter recovery time and not long lasting but rehabilitation is still necessary

Q

6 steps in activating an EAP

A
  1. activate protocol, call person calls ems, control person checks access points and equipment or aids
  2. charge person performs interventions to their capabilities
  3. control person meets ambulance, call person and charge person relay info
  4. ensure medical info card goes to the hostpital with the athlete
  5. have someone accompany the athlete
  6. complete injury report form

25
In secondary survey, what does HOPS stand for
History Observation Palpation Special tests
26
What does the SHARP abbreviation stand for and what stage of HOPS is it a part of
``` Swelling Heat Altered Function Redness Pain ``` Part of Observation stage
27
The three main parts of bone
Diaphysis Epiphysis periosteum
28
What part of the bone has hyaline cartilage
epiphysis
29
What part of the bone contains blood vessels and osteoblasts
periosteum
30
what are the 4 types of bones
flat long short irregular
31
what type of bone is most commonly injured
long bones
32
bone diameter is increased with the activity of osteoclasts or osteoblasts
osteoblasts
33
What happens during osteoporosis
bones lose thickness and become less resistant to force
34
What is wolff's law
every change in form and function is followed by changes in architectural design
35
A bone will become more or less strong in the area where stress is applied
more
36
the 6 types of bone fractures
``` greenstick comminuted linear transverse oblique spiral ```
37
what type of fracture is common in hockey and skiing
spiral fracture
38
types of bone injuries
stress fractures avulsion fractures epiphyseal conditions Apophyseal injuries
39
what type of bone injury is related to growth plates
epiphysial fractures
40
what is an avulsion fracture
a bone fragment is separated from cortex via pull of ligament or tendon
41
what do fibrous capsules do
provide support
42
The 3 grades of sprain severity
Grade I: some pain with minimal loss of function Grade II: pain, moderate loss of function, some tearing and separation of fibers Grade III: Extreme pain, close to if not full disruption of fibers
43
What is subluxation
synovial joint injury partial dislocation causing incomplete seperation of two bones
44
What is dislocation
synovial joint injury at least one bone in a joint is forced out of alignment
45
what is the only absolute diagnostic technique for dislocation and why is it important
X-ray need to see if any bone fragments are present from possible avulsion fracture
46
what are the static stabilizing structures of a joint
ligaments and joint capsules
47
what are the dynamic stabilizing structures of a joint
muscles and related tendons
48
what are the symptoms of bursitis
swelling pain some loss of function
49
what structure has an extremely high yield point
tendons
50
in what structure do tears typically occur in
muscles
51
what is tendinitis
inflammation of the tendon
52
without proper healing, tendinitis can turn into _________.
Tendinosis
53
what is the treatment for tendinitis vs tendinosis
tendinitis: rest, modified activity, anti inflammatory prescription, progressive overload strength program tendinosis: stretching and strengthening
54
what is tenosynovitis
inflammation of the synovial sheath | think of the pinched straw on a string
55
what is crepitus
sticking of tendon due to accumulation of inflammatory by-products on irritated tissue
56
contusions result from what kind of force
compression
57
what causes hematoma
blood and lymph flowing into surrounding tissue following a contusion
58
what is myositis ossificans
damage to the periosteum of the bone
59
what is a possible prevention for contusions

60
what are muscle cramps
painful involuntary skeletal muscle contractions when muscle is in shortened position
61
