Eccentric contractions**

ex: decceleration

58
Q

Acute MOI- overstretch or overload
Pain located over injury site (commonly musculotendinous junction)
Discolorations (severe cases)
Muscle weakness and/or ROM limitations

59
Q

explain first degree strain

Pain with stretching
Muscle weakness (usually pain/apprehension)
No contraction pain*** theory no, real life yes!

65

degenative changes in the tendon

79
Q

how can you confirm either tendinitus/tendinosis

A

both need to be confirmed witth histopatthological examinaiton

80
Q

how can you go from tendinitus to tendinosus

A

through degenerative changes

aftter time and consttant imflamtion

81
Q

explain primary injuries

A

Caused by a particular event

External causes vs internal causes

103
Q

Hypoxia and ischemia
(accumulation of calcium)

104
Q

whatt are the 3 phases of soft tissue healing

A

inflamatory
proliferation
matturation

105
Q

in general, how long is the soft tissue healing

A

3 days -1 year

106
Q

how long is the inflam period

A

0-6 days

107
Q

when is inflammatory greates f

A

firstt 24-72 hours

108
Q

is inflammatory response good or bad

A

good for healing but needs to be controlled (use compression, evelattion, movementt)

109
Q

what is common to see in inflammatory phase

A

Rubor (redness), calor (local heat), tumor (swelling), dolor (pain) and function laesa (loss of function)

SHARP

110
Q

what is the first goal in inflammatory phase

A

stop blood loss to the wound

111
Q

explain part 1 of stopping blood in inflmattory phase

A
Local vasoconstriction (few seconds-10 minutes)
Large vessels constrict from signals from neurotransmitters

reduction of blood volume = increased blood viscosity/ resistance to the flow (further reducing loss of blood at site)
=first clot

Platelet reaction then promotes clotting as cells combine together with fibrin to form a mechanical plug
=second clott

112
Q

what comes firstt vasoconsttriction or dilation

A

vasodilation

113
Q

what is vasodilation due to

A

histamine and bradykinin (neurotransmitters)

114
Q

why are proteins activiated in inflmatory phase

A

to promote a variety of activities essential for healing

ex: phagocytosis

115
Q

explain phagocytosis

A

Phagocytosis- attraction of macrophages and neutrophils

116
Q

what does the release of chemical mediators cause

A

Increase blood vessel wall permeability
Promotes vasodilation
Pain!

117
Q

explain vascular events

A

Vascular- first a quite vasoconstriction followed by a vasodilation. Increase pressure in the capillaries causes fluid to move into the tissue and produce swelling, pain and impaired function

118
Q

explain cellular events

A

Cellular- mast cells released which mobilize leukocytes (neutrophils and monocytes). Neutrophils first line of defense, can cause damage to healthy tissue

119
Q

what is the duratiton of the proliferative pahse

A

fays 3-21

120
Q

what is the prolif. phase

A

repair and regen of the injured tissue

121
Q

during the proliferattive phase, what is tthere tthe develipment of

A

new blood vessels
fibrous tissue formation
generation of new epithetical tissue
wound contractions/scarring

122
Q

in prolif phase, what do fibroblats synthesize

A

new type III collagen fibesr

123
Q

true or false: in thte prolif phase we get new vessel formation

A

ttrue

angiogenesis

124
Q

how long can thte maturation phase be

A

up to 1 year

125
Q

what is scar tissue

A

Scar tissue is fibrous, inelastic and nonvascular- less strong and less functional than original tissue

126
Q

new scar tissue has more or less flexibility

A

less and decreased size of involved tissues

127
Q

what is execssive scar tissue called

A

keloid tissue

128
Q

during the maturattion phase, what does type 3 collagem become

A

type 1= it is stronger

129
Q

whatt happens to the fibers in the matturation phase

A

alighment of fibers along muscle fibers to regain mobility and strength

130
Q

how long can tensile strtength take to increase

A

up ot 2 uyears postt injurt

131
Q

Bad rehabilitation that doesn’t reorient collagen fibers could lead to what

A

permanent decrease of 30% compared to pre-injury strength.

132
Q

true or false: ,muscle fibres can reproduce

A

false, do no t

=thats why we need to prvent necrosis

133
Q

what do ligaments and tendons need to have for a chance of healing

A

they need to be in very close proximity. If a ligament is isolated (ex: ACL), it has a poor chance of healing conservatively.

134
Q

what does tissue immbolization cause

A

leads to atrophy, loss of strength and decreased healing of the tissues. ↑Immobilization time = ↑atrophy

135
Q

explain immolixation vs atrphy

A

if you are immbolized longer than you will increase atrphy which delays rehab

try to stay moving asap after injury when possibble
(frcature must be immoblized longer)

136
Q

which heals the slowest, soft tissue, bone or nerve injuries

A

nerve injries

137
Q

what is the healing rate of nerve injuries

A

rate <1mm per day or 2.5mm per month

138
Q

most common nerve injuries are what tyoe of injuries

A

tension and compression injuries

or severed
