A

True

44
Q

What are the 3 phases of hemostasis

A
  1. Body goes thru period of vasoconstriction
  2. Platelets start to get sticky and form plug
  3. Clotting of blood due to fibrin and erythyrocytes
45
Q

When does hemostasis occur

A

Before inflammation

46
Q

How long does the inflammatory phase last

A

0-6 days

47
Q

True or False:

Inflammation is critical to the entire healing process

A

True

48
Q

True or False:

Inflammation can only occur in areas with vascularity

A

True

49
Q

What is the process of inflammation (6)

A
  1. Disposal of injury by product
  2. Localized to trauma area - local vascular changes
  3. Protective response
  4. Sets the stage for repair
  5. Disturbed fluid exchange
  6. Migration of leukocytes from blood to tissues
50
Q

What is the clinical picture of inflammation (4)

A
  1. Painful movement
  2. Patient guarding
  3. Increased tissue tension
  4. Increased edema
51
Q

How long does the proliferation phase last

A

3-20 days

52
Q

What is the purpose of the proliferation phase

A

Cover the wound and impact strength to the injury site

53
Q

True or False:

The injured site does not have the most amount of collagen

A

False

54
Q

How much lower can the tensile strength of the tissue be

A

15%

55
Q

What is the process of proliferation (4)

A
  1. Growth of capillary buds into wound is stimulated by lack or oxygen
  2. Increased blood flow to the area delivering nutrients for regeneration
  3. Collagen fibers deposit in random fashion scarring the tissues
  4. As tensile strength increases and fibroblastic activity decreases
56
Q

What does fibroblastic activity decreasing indicate

A

The beginning of the maturation phase

57
Q

What is the clinical picture of the proliferation phase (3)

A
  1. Signs and symptoms of inflammation subside
  2. Patient may indicate tenderness to touch
  3. Patient will typically complain of pain when movement stresses injured tissue
58
Q

How long does the maturation phase last

A

20 days - 3 years

59
Q

What is the purpose of the maturation phase

A

Realignment or remodeling of the collagen fibers that make up scar tissue

60
Q

What are the clinical presentations of the maturation phase (4)

A
  1. No signs of inflammation
  2. Contractures or adhesions may limit motion
  3. Pain felt well after tissue resistance, typically with passive exposure
  4. Function is limited
61
Q

What limits function in the maturation phase (3)

A
  1. Weakness
  2. Poor endurance
  3. Poor neuromuscular control
62
Q

what are the rehab considerations for the maturation phase

A

Wolff’s law and aggressive AROM and strengthening key at the start of this phase

63
Q

What is Wolff’s Law

A

Tissues respond to the demands placed upon them causing remodeling or realignment of fibers along lines of tensile force

64
Q

What are the 12 factors that impact the rate of healing

A
  1. Extent of injury
  2. Edema
  3. Hemorrhage
  4. Poor vascular supply
  5. Separation of tissue
  6. Muscle spasm
  7. Atrophy
  8. Corticosteroids
  9. Keloids and hypertrophic scars
  10. Infection
  11. Humidity, climate, oxygen tension
  12. Health, age, nutrition
65
Q

What are the types of injury extent

A

Microtrauma and macrotrauma

66
Q

If you increase pressure what happens to blood flow and secondary injury

A

Blood flow decreases and secondary injury increases

67
Q

What is hemorrhaging do to

A

Chemical changes due to increased blood flow that causes cell death

68
Q

What does poor vascular supply do

A

Leads to cell death because of the lack of nutrients

69
Q

What happens if there is separation of the tissue

A

It takes a long time to heal

70
Q

What does muscle spasms cause

A

The patient to be in the inflammatory stage longer

71
Q

How many corticosteroid shots can be administered per year

A

3

72
Q

Why only 3 corticosteroid shots per year

A

It reduces tensile strength of the tendon causing ruptures

73
Q

What does infection cause

A

Slow healing

74
Q

What scab color is good

A

Brown

75
Q

What scab color is bad

A

Black

76
Q

What is chronic inflammation

A

Acute inflammatory response does not sufficiently eliminate the injury agent and restore tissue to its normal state

77
Q

What does chronic inflammation cause (4)

A
  1. Damage to connective tissue
  2. Tissue necrosis and fibrosis
  3. Appears to be related to microtrauma
  4. Resistant to physical and pharmocological treatment
78
Q
