Mechanisms and characteristics of musculoskeletal and nerve trauma Flashcards
yield point
a point at which elasticity is almost exceed the yield point and when far exceeded the point it could cause damage
traumatic/acute
injurys happens right away
overuse/chronic
injurys that happens repeatedly over time
muscle strain
Stretch, tear, or rip to an muscle
grade 1 muscle tear
A small muscle tear
grade 2 muscle tear
A mid muscle tear
Grade 3 muscle tear
High muscle /muscle tear
Muscle cramps
Painful involuntary skeletal muscle contraction
Muscle guarding
guards the area of injury so it can minimal the pain
Muscle soreness (acute)
soreness happens right after working out
muscle soreness(delayed)
soreness that gets worsens throught the 24-48 hours
Tendinitis
Inflammation of the tendon from overuse
Tendinosis
without proper healing tendinitis may begin to degenerate the tendin
Myifascual trigger point
Discrete, hypersensitive nodule within tight band of muscle or fascia
latent trigger point
a point that hurts with pressure
active trigger point
a point that hurts with rest and pressure
Contusions
reslut of a sudden blow to body (bruise)
atrophy
wasting away muscle due to immobilization inactivity, or loss of nerve functioning
ligament sprain
rip,stretch, or tear to ligament
subluxation
when a bone pops out place when pops back in
Dislocations
When a bone pops out place and it cant come back in without force
Bursitis
inflammation of the bursa
Bone fracture
The break to the bone
stress Fracture
A fracture of the bone that breaks from stress or overuse
nerve injurys
Will always present with numbness, tingling, burning pain, and/ or loss of function
