A
W hat is bursitis primarily caused by?

A
What role does cycle loading play in microtrauma injuries?
• A. It strengthens tendons through repeated stress
• B. It causes overuse injuries such as stress fractures
• C. It protects joints from frictional forces
• D. It prevents inflammation in soft tissues
B
Which condition is caused by inflammation of a tendon and degenerative changes due to repetitive microtrauma?
• A. Tenosynovitis
• B. Bursitis
• C. Tendonitis
• D. Capsulitis
C
Which condition is characterized by inflammation of the joint capsule due to repetitive sprains or microtraumas?
• A. Synovitis
• B. Capsulitis
• C. Tenosynovitis
• D. Tendonitis
B
Which condition is characterized by the formation of scar tissue in the bursal walls during chronic stages?
• A. Tenosynovitis
• B. Bursitis
• C. Capsulitis
• D. Synovitis
B
What is a common symptom of tenosynovitis?
• A. Muscle weakness
• B. Painful swelling and difficulty moving the joint
• C. Redness and heat in the surrounding tissue
• D. Numbness and tingling in the affected area
B
Which condition can result from repeated microtrauma to the joint capsule?
• A. Tenosynovitis
• B. Synovitis
• C. Capsulitis
• D. Bursitis
C
How can chronic synovitis affect the joint?
• A. By decreasing synovial fluid production
• B. By causing chronic joint congestion and edema
• C. By reducing the joint’s tensile strength
• D. By immobilizing the joint completely
B
Which of the following describes the function of a healthy bursa?
• A. Prevents joint capsule inflammation
• B. Acts as a cushion to reduce friction and facilitate smooth movement
• C. Provides tensile strength to ligaments
• D. Absorbs shock during impact
B
What is a defining characteristic of capsulitis in the chronic stage?
• A. Scar tissue formation in surrounding tendons
• B. Persistent inflammation leading to joint stiffness
• C. Degeneration of bursa tissue
• D. Displacement of joint cartilage
B
What differentiates tendonitis from other soft tissue inflammations?
• A. It only occurs in large joints
• B. It involves both inflammation and degenerative changes in the tendon
• C. It results from a single traumatic event
• D. It does not progress beyond the acute stage
B
What happens during the final phase of tendonitis progression?
• A. Symptoms are present only during activity
• B. Symptoms are persistent at all times
• C. Symptoms subside without intervention
• D. Symptoms are localized to the tendon sheath
B
