A

a shift to anaerobic metabolism occures eventually leading to inability to produce enough ATP.

24
Q

What is bending injury?

A

horizontal force causing the tissue to bend or strain like in a spiral or greenstick fracture

25
What is a stretching injury?
elongation of tissue and ligaments like in a sprain and strain.
26
Difference between tension and stretch injury?
stretch injury tissute gets to long, in tension injury the tissue just gets pulled without elongation.
27
What resistes tensile (tenson) forces?
tendons
28
What resists compressive forces?
bones
29
What do ligaments resist?
tensile force, just like tendons
30
What five forces do discs resist?
tension, compression, shear and torsion.
31
What is a bruise?
compression that causes bleeding under skin
32
What is a contusion?
acute compression causeing hemorrhage of muscle tissue
33
What is muscle cramp?
acute involuntary muscle contraction caused by dehydration or electrylyte imbalance.
34
What is a muscle spasm?
reflex muscle contraction caused by acute trauma, it guards area.
35
Muscle hypertonicity is what?
increased activity in normal tissue so it has greater tonicity, it can cause imbalances
36
Muscle spasticity?
increase muscle tone at rest.
37
what can result from an upper motor neuron lesion?
muscle spasticity.
38
characterization of muscle spasticity?
increased resistance to passive stretch, exaggerated deep tendon relfex/clonus
39
What is a sprain?
stretchin or tearing damage to ligament with a good chance of other tissues being torn.
40
what are the three grades of sprain?
Grade 1 - mimimal with stability, Grade 2 - moderated with moderate stability, Grade 3 with extream pain and sever instability, needs surgery.
41
what would cause a sprain?
sudden load, direct bload, repetitive overload, sustained postural overload.
42
Which direction would be more difficult to move in
Movement in direction that would stretch ligament is painful.
43
Would isometric muscle cause pain for a prain?
No pain for isometric contraction.
44
Strain is what?
acute stretch, tear or rip in muscle or tendon
45
What are the grades of a strain?
Grades one through three rateing the tear, and function loss from mimimal to severe.
46
What would cause a strain?
sudden contraction, or stretch. Blow to muscle, conttusion or deep bruise
47
what is the difference between sprain and strain with active and passive range of motion?
Sprain (strecthing) has painful active and passive motion, Strain (tearing) has painfull active motion but painless passive motion.
48
Types of synovial joint injury?
acute synovitis, dislocation, subluxation, separation, intra-articular injury, extra articular injury
49
Acute synovitis is ?
inflammation of synovial membrane
50
Dislocation
complete separation between two articulating bones
51
subluxation
incomplete separation between two articulation bones, (not a full dislocation
52
Separation
increase in joint space between articulation surfaces.
53
Intra-articular injury examples?
osteochondrosis, osteochrondritis dissecans, apophysitis, traumatic arthritis
54
Extra-articular injury example?
bursitis, capsulitis, paratenonitis, tendonosis
55
Exampes of perepheral nerve injury
burner, neuritis, sciatica, carpal tunnel, mortions neuroma
56
what are the three stages of nerve injury?
neuropraxia, axontemesis, neurotmesis
57
Neuropraxia
transient physiological block that is caused by ischemia from pressure or stretch of nerve with no degeneration.
58
Aconotmesis
internal architecture of the nerve is preserved by axons are so badly damaged, + wallerian degeneration
59
Neurotmesis
structue of nerve is destroyed by cutting, secere scarring or prolonged severe compression
