Intro Flashcards
Loss cylce
- Shock
- Distress
- Disorganization
- Acceptance
Shock
Physical effects (sleep, numbness, irritable)
poor awareness of physical limitations
Goal: pt safety
Intervention: normalize breathing, decrease tension, pt ed on loss cycle
Distress
Emotional effects (angry, sad, helpless) Goal: Support and understanding for pt's emotional hurt Intervention: express feelings into words, pain diary
Disorganization
Mental Effects (depression, suicidal, hopeless)
decreased focus and cognitive ability
Goal: assist pt to be active within limits - provide structure
Intervention: set clear limits, engage support systems
Acceptance
Integration - ready to learn/maximize recovery
-Positive feelings, lessons learned, future planning
Goal: guide the rehab process
Stress is
Stress is a state of disharmony, and is a state of threatened homeostasis
Autonomic NS compensation
increased adrenaline production
CNS compensation
increased nociceptive representation
Immune system compensation
chronic inflammation
Peripheral NS compensation
increased number of nociceptors
Wolf’s Law
Arrangement of connective tissue structures and specialization of their fibers are directly related to stresses placed on them.
Forms structures of varying densities and functions which include bone, cartilage, blood cells and blood forming tissue, adipose tissue, tendons, ligaments.
What are the regular connective tissues?
tendons and ligaments
Regular connective tissue: Tendon
Arranged in parallel fibers of collagen
Continuum of muscle
Held together by cross fibers and bound by a layer of loose connective tissues
Regular connective tissue: ligaments
Tough, pliant, flexible without resisting movement.
Unyielding
Less regular vs tendons: spiral and oblique arrangement
What is irregular connective tissue?
Fascia - dense and loose connective tissue
Composition of fascia
Irregular sheaths of collagen and elastin that are continuous with each other.
-include all structures from basement membrane of dermis to periosteum of bone.
Characteristics of fascia
- superficial thinner/delicate to allow for skin movement
- deeper thicker/stronger, separating surrounding structures
Organization of fascia fibers
Sheaths and fibers lay at angles to each other: provide greater strength and extensibility/flexibility
Functional joint
space between structures created by fascia - a space built for motion
6 Functions of fascia
- Separate structures
- Absorbs shock
- Exchange of metabolites
- Energy storage
- Protect against spread of infection
- Allows for normal muscle play
3 Components of Fascia
- collagen
- elastin
- reticulin (anchors structures)
Most common/prolific fiber of loose connective tissue
Collagen
