Q

Proliferative phase

wound contraction

A

aggressive contraction occurs here.
fibroblasts and myofibroblasts have contractile capabililty.
decreases the surface area of wound
causes decreased mobility in large wounds

40
Q

PT interventions for Proliferative phase

A

wound care, edema management, positioning, splinting, cautous passive ROM, AROM, ambulation, and functional activities.

stretching, strengthening, and endurance exercises may be appropriate.

41
Q

Maturation phase

A

 Normally there is balance between collagen
formation and dissolution
 Influences scar formation
 Excessive collagen forms abnormal scars
* Hypertrophic scar
* Keloid scar: extend beyond boundary of the wound; take
longer to mature
 Scar contraction; if not managed can lead to scar
contracture
 Lasts several months

42
Q

Maturation phase

hypertrophic scar

A

if deposition of collagen exceeds collagen lysis (breakdown.) Get really big scar. - associated with contracture

43
Q

Maturation phase

Keloid scar

A

extend beyond the boundary of the wound. - not associated with contracture.

44
Q

Maturation phase

Stretching and collagen

A

stretching a forming scar will cause the collagen to form along the length of the stretch - favors mobility.

45
Q

Maturation phase

Scar contraaction

A

leads to scar contracture. (permanent)

46
Q

Maturation phase

PT

A

Can be more aggressive with wound site.
Work hardening work conditioning - help individuals recover functional abilities needed for work after an injury.

47
Q

Additional considerations

A

Depth, location, size (percent total body surface
area [TBSA]), healing time, cause of disruption

48
Q

Common Conditions

Vascular compromise

Must monitor scar contraction

A

to avoid scar contracture

 Include positioning, splints, passive and active stretching

(elbow) or neutral (ankle)

 Pressure garments

95
Q

Patient education

A

 Patient should be focus of the rehabilitation team
 Must include other caregivers
