Q

What needs to be assessed in musculoskeletal conditions?

A
  • Palpation – channels/ points, channel sinews site of complaint etc.
  • Lower Body Assessments & upper body assessments
  • Range of Motion (ROM testing)
  • Manual Muscle Testing (MMT Strength of muscles for stability)
  • Specific Orthopaedic testing
  • Specific i.e. if the problem is present, treat it. If not, you do not need to include the points/treatment

93
Q

What is acute compartment syndrome?

A

Compartment syndrome is a serious condition that involves increased pressure in a muscle compartment

In acute cases bleeding from trauma or intense overuse produces an increase in pressure – Required immediate surgery intervention to relieve the pressure
In chronic cases, training has increased the muscle bulk faster than the facial sheath has been able to accommodate it, Fascia not expanding quickly enough
This pressure can cause pain, inhibit circulation, compress nerves leading to nerve damage and muscle weakness.

Why is heat and Moxa more effective in treating muscular strains?

A

It increases the blood flow whereas RICE delays healing, healing requires inflammation to work

Larger tears 4-8 weeks
Rupture of the muscle - surgery 6+ months or longer recovery
