32
Q

2 layers of joint capsule

A

Outer fibrous layer-strong, flexible but relatively inelastic. Supported by ligaments
Inner synovial layer: synovial membrane

33
Q

POLICE

A

Protect - prevent further tissue damage, use crutches
Optimally Load - load, mobilise and use area as pain is tolerated
Ice - apply ice 15-20 mins every 2-3 hours
Compress - area with elastic or tubular bandage to reduce swelling
Elevate - injured area to reduce swelling

34
Q

injuries of join capsule

A

dislocation

35
Q

dislocation

A

complete dissociation of the articulating surfaces

36
Q

subluxation

A

where the articulating surfaces remain partially in contact with each other.

37
Q

causes of dislocation

A

Can be caused by a fall, blow or other trauma
Some joints more vulnerable than others
Results in injury to capsule and associated ligaments

38
Q

injuries in muscle

A

muscle strain/tear - some or all of the fibres fail to cope w/ demands place on them
contusion/haematoma - bleeding a muscle from direct blow

39
Q

Grade I muscle sprain

A

Small number of muscle fibres
Localised pain
No major loss of strength/Endurance may be reduced

40
Q

grade II muscle sprain

A
Tear of significant number of fibres with associated pain and swelling. 
Pain is reproduced by muscle contraction
Strength is reduced  
Movement is limited by pain. 
Contained bleeding
41
Q

Grade III muscle sprain

A

complete tear of muscle, often at musculotendinous junction. Function severely impaired. Greater bleeding with tracking

42
Q

predisposing factors in development of muscle strains
