reflex reaction caused by trauma of the musculoskeletal system
muscle spasms
rigid muscle contraction that lasts a period of time
tonic
alternating involuntary muscular contraction and relaxation in quick succession
clonic
fluids that collect in muscles during and after exercise are absorbed into the blood stream at a slow rate
muscle stiffness
inflammation of synovial sheath; crepitus; chronic- locally thickened
tenosynovitis
myositis ossificans occurs in a muscle over a bone
ectopic calcfication
abnormal shortening of a muscle tissue
contracture
joint that is immovable
synarthrotic
slightly movable joint
ampiarthrotic
freely movable joint
diarthrotic
primary injury in ligaments?
viscoelastic tissue properties; constant compression causes deterioration, intermittent compression increases strength; chronic inflammation causes shrinkage of collagen fibers
an organ will adapt itself structurally to an alternation, quantitative of function
