Q

What should we refer to with a non-injured paired structure?

A

We should do a bilateral comparison, demonstrate painful movement patterns, and evaluate injured vs noninjured

Q

What do we look for and ask with history?

A
  • Open-ended questions are better than yes/no questions
  • Established “mechanisms of injury” (MOI)
  • Determines what structures are involved (micro trauma/macro trauma)
  • Onset & duration of symptoms? (insideous)
  • Sounds and sensation felt at the time of injury?
  • Prior medical history?
  • Changes in changes routine/patterns?
  • Changes in equipment?
  • Previous Tx? Medical referral? Xrays? (congenital)
  • Psychological and emotional state?
  • Where to go from here? And how?

Q

How does elastic property increase?

A

By stress or load

23
Q

What are the 3 ways of tissue loading?

A
  1. compression
  2. tensile (longitudinal tearing and muscles/tendons
  3. shearing
24
Q

Examples of musculoskeletal injuries

A
  1. strains
  2. tendinitis
  3. heterotopoic ossificans
  4. bursitis
25
Q

Examples of bone injuries

A
  1. exostosis
  2. apophysitis
  3. fractures
26
Q

Examples of joint injuries

A
  1. sprains
  2. subluxations
  3. dislocations
  4. osteochondral defects
  5. osteochondritis dessicans
  6. arthritis
27
Q

What is a strain?

A

stretching or tearing of a muscle or tendon

28
Q

How does a strain occur?

A

eccentric muscle contraction due to dynamic overload

29
Q

How many grades are there for strains?

A

3 grades

30
Q

what is a first grade strain?

A
  1. overstretching and micro tearing, no gross fiber disruption
  2. mild pain and tenderness
  3. full AROM and PROM
  4. Pain with resisted contraction
31
Q

what is a second grade strain?

A
  1. further stretching and partial tearing
  2. immediate pain, localized tenderness, and disability
  3. varying degrees of swelling, ecchymosis, decreased ROM and decreased strength
32
Q

what is a third grade strain?

A
  1. complete rupture
  2. audible “pop”
  3. immediate pain
  4. loss of function & palpable defect
  5. muscle hemorrhage and diffuse swelling
33
Q

What kind of trauma is Teninitis?

A

Microtrauma

34
Q

Tenosynovitis

A

Inflamation of the fluid filled sheath that surrounds a tendon. More localized and crepitus more pronounced.

35
Q

Crepitus

A

a grating sound or sensation produced by friction between bone and cartilage or the fractured parts of a bone.

36
Q

1st Degree Tendintis

A

Pain and slight dysfunction during activity

37
Q

2nd Degree Tendinitis

A

Results in decreased function and pain after activity

38
Q

3rd Degree Tendinitis

A

Constant pain that prohibits activity

39
Q

Heterotopic Ossificans

A

Formation of bone within a muscle belly’s fascia; fibroblasts begin to transform into osteoblasts and chondroblasts that form immature bone

Localized swelling

41
Q

What is a sprain?

A

Injury to ligament or capsular structure

42
Q

First Degree Sprain

A

  • Pain at end range
  • No joint laxity (firm end-feel)
43
Q

Second Degree Sprain

A
  • Further stretching and partial disruption of ligament
  • Moderate to severe pain, tenderness
  • Ecchymosis and rapid swelling
  • Limited ROM and function
  • Stress testing show varying degrees of joint instability (laxity)
    • Still a end point
44
Q

Third Degree Sprain

A
  • Complete disruption of ligament
    • Instability
  • “Pop”
  • Immediate pain and disability
  • Rapid swelling, ecchymosis, and loss of function
  • Stress testing reveal moderate to severe joint instability
45
Q

Joint Articulations

A

46
Q

Luxation (dislocation)

A

Severe stretching or complete disruption of ligaments (3rd degree)

47
Q

Subluxation

A

partial dislocation; stretching and tearing of joint capsule and ligaments. “Goes in and out”

48
Q

Signs and symptoms of a joint dislocation

A
  • Immediate pain, rapid swelling, deformity, and loss of function
  • Joint slipping or “giving out”
49
Q

What are two type of Articular Surface Injuries?

A

Osteochondral defects and Osteochondritis Dessicans

50
Q

Osteochondral Defects

A
  • Fractures of a bone’s articular cartilage
  • Progressive softening of cartilage
  • Severity based on depth of the defect
    • Partial and Full-thickness
    • Also depends on location
51
Q

Osteochondritis Dessicans

A
  • Dislodges fragments of bone within the joint space
    • Stable or free floating
    • Joint “locking”
52
Q

Apophysitis

A
  • Growing pains
  • Inflammation of growth plate
  • Muscle pulling away from bone
  • History of recent rapid growth spurt
    • Lack of flexibility may contribute
  • Sever’s Disease
53
Q

How does bone stress fractures occur?

A

Recent change in a workout, equipment, playing surfaces, frequency, intensity, duration, or intensity, amenorrheic women
