Q

describe the hemostatic response (inflam. phase)

A

Role:

–Control blood loss when vessels are ruptured

Process:

–Small blood vessels retract to seal themselves

–Fibrin clot formation

–Platelets aggregate and deposit fibrin to trap red blood cells and form a blood clot

Q

describe the cellular response of the inflamatory phase

A

Initial response: Migration of leukocytes (white blood cells) to site of injury

Early inflammation: Neutrophils are dominant: removal of contaminating bacteria and debris (phagocytosis)

Late inflammation (within a few hours after injury):

–Macrophages (from monocytes) are dominant: phagocytosis and promotion of fibroblastic activity

–Lymphocytes: supply antibodies for specific antigens

Q

what are fibroblasts?

A

A fibroblast is a type of cell that is responsible for making the extracellular matrix and collagen.

Together, this extracellular matrix and collagen form the structural framework of tissues in animals and plays an important role in tissue repair.

Q

describe the immune response of the inflammatory phase

A

chemotactic = movement of an organism in response to a chemical stimulus

20
Q

describe rehabilitation in the inflammatory phase

A

goal to educate: protect, prevent immobilization effects, control/reduce pain inflammation and edema

trearment: education, price, pain free rom, Muscle re-education, motor control and isometric strength, pain free Conditioning, modalities (ultrasound, electrical stim)

controlled early mobilization**

21
Q

when does pain generally appear in the inflammatory phase?

A

–Pain generally appears before completion of ROM

22
Q

what does the duration of the proliferative phase depend on?

A
  • type of tissue
  • extent of injury
23
Q

what is the role of the proliferative phase?

A

–Proliferation of new blood vessels

–Formation of new connective tissue

–Re-establishment of tensile strength

–Preparation for remodeling

24
Q

what types of tissue does the proliferative phase involve?

A

–Epithelial tissue

–Connective tissue

25
Q

describe characteristics of the proliferative phase and when it ends

A

note: mast cells involved with wound healing, granulation tissue = new vascular tissue in granular form on an ulcer or the healing surface of a wound

26
Q

describe the clinical presentation of the proliferative phase

A

–Pain when the new tissue is overstressed

Generally beginning of tissue resistance during ROM assessment

–Active effusion and local redness no longer present

Residual edema may still be present

–Resumption of normal ADL and beginning of some activities

27
Q

describe the goals and treatment during the rehabilitation phase

A

Goals (controlled motion):

–Re-establish normal ROM and flexibility

–Start recovering strength and proprioception without damaging healing tissues

28
Q

describe what determines success in the remodeling phase and what signifies the end phase

A

–Type of tissue

–Extent of injury

–Location of injury

–Age of patient

–Etc.

end phase is unclear

29
Q

what is the the role and characteristics of the remodeling phase?

A
30
Q

describe the clinical presentation of the remodeling phase

A

•Corresponds to beginning of functional activities

–+/- pain at end of tissue resistance during ROM assessment

  • Pt has generally regained ROM and flexibility
  • Pt has improved strength and endurance
31
Q

describe the goals and treatment in the rehabilitation phase

A

Goals (return to function):

–Improve strength, function, proprioception (+/- agility, power, plyometrics)

–Activity/sport-specific training s̅ damaging healing tissues

32
Q

describe rehabilitation during all phases of healing

A
33
Q

describe the 2 types of chronic inflammatory responses

A
34
Q

what are the consequences and tx of chronic inflammatory responses?

A

–Resistance to both physical and pharmacological interventions

–Failure to remodel adequately

–Imperfect repair

–Persistence of symptoms

–Adhesions can be formed in and around the tissue involved

treatment: Initially, treat as acute condition

35
Q

what is a sprain? include degrees

A
  • notes
36
Q

what is a strain? include degrees

A
  • notes
37
Q

describe the PRICE principle

A

notes

38
Q

what is the onset of swelling in terms of blood vs synovial?

A

blood = 0-4 hours (ie acl = lots of blood involved)

synovial = 8-24 hours (miniscus, not asmuch right away)

39
Q

how to do a swelling measurement in general

A

* At a fixed, constant distance from a bony landmark

40
Q

explain how to do a swelling assessment volume measure

A
41
Q

explain swelling assessment palpations

A

BONY: hard

SYNOVIAL: boggy, spongy

FLUID: softer, mobile, fluctuating feeling

BLOOD: harder, thicker, warmer, gel like

PUS: thick, warm skin, body temperature increased

PITTING: thicker, slow-moving, imprint of fingers on body segment

42
Q

define swelling (and 2 types of swelling)

A

Any abnormal enlargement or increase in volume of a body part (generic term)

1) edema
2) effusion

43
Q

define edema

A

An abnormal excess accumulation of fluid in the intercellular spaces of connective tissue

44
Q

define effusion

A

Abnormal accumulation of fluid inside an anatomical space such as a joint space or a pleural, pericardial, peritoneal cavity

45
Q

define localized swelling and types

A

swelling confined to a localized anatomical area

– Encapsulated (e.g. cyst, ganglion)

– Intra-capsular (intra-synovial – e.g. RA; extra-synovial – e.g. ACL injury)

– Extra-capsular (e.g. pre-patellar bursitis)

46
Q

define generalized swelling and types

A

swelling that appears at multiple sites or over a large area

1) peripheral (eg Edema, bilaterally, in the lower limbs as a result of congestive heart (right ventricular) failure)
2) central (e.g. Pulmonary edema; an accumulation of fluid in the lungs (throughout the lungs, as opposed to a localized inflammatory process))

Symptoms (Sx) can include: Dyspnea (shortness of breath (SOB)), Orthopnea (SOB when lying flat), Nocturia (need to get up at night to urinate)

47
Q

describe 5 types of swelling

A

1) Synovial (due to increased production of synovial exudate, possibly as a result of synovitis)
2) Bony or hard (e.g. osteophytes, myositis ossificans)
3) Blood (bruising, haemarthrosis, etc.)
4) Pus / Abscess
5) Cutaneous edema (often “pitting”) – Seen in chronic ankle swelling, congestive heart failure, cirrhosis, etc.
