Midterm 1 Flashcards
What are the three stages of healing
- Inflammation
- Repair
- Remodeling
Inflammation stage of healing
- Generic response to tissue threat
- Often exaggerated and quickly reversible
- Acute inflammation involves biochemical mediators
- Presents clinically using SHARP symptoms
What are the SHARP symptoms
Swelling
Heat
Altered function
Redness
Pain
What are the 3 biochemical mediators involved in inflammation and what do they cause
MEDIATORS:
- Histamine
- Prostaglandin
- Bradykinin
CAUSES:
- vasodilation
- increased permeability
-increased sensitivity of nerve endings (acute hyperalgesia)
What is edema
Fluid leaks from vessels into tissues
What is a hematoma
collection of blood that has escaped vessels
Hemarthrosis
bleeding into joint cavity
Joint effusion
Synovial membrane creates excess synovial fluid
What occurs during the repair or proliferative stage of healing
- Macrophages clean through phagocytosis
- Fibroblasts build temporary foundation by creating and laying collagen (limited structural integraty)
What occurs during the remodeling or maturation stage of healing
- No net gain in collagen
- Synthesis of new high quality, well organized collagen balances breakdown of original foundation
when does the remodeling phase start and how long does it last
starts 3 weeks post injury and lasts up to 2 years
When dos the repair stage begin and how long does it last
Starts 2 days post injury and can last up to 3 weeks
How long does the inflammation stage last
72 hours
how does the repair stage present clinically
- better than inflammation
- pain, swelling etc. should disappear by end
- heat and redness mostly done
What is the funnel progression when assessing a pateint
History
Observation
ROM
Resistance
Special Tests
Palpation
How does the remodeling stage present clinically
Able to introduce progressively more challenging/ sport specific skills as musculature becomes stronger and develops more endurance
Assessing injury: History
- Introduction to patient and listen to injury story
- Inquire about clinical presentation (consequences of injury, signs and symptoms, functional impact)
- learn about person (general health, previous history, current physical activity demands)
Assessing injury: Observation
- Consent
- Qualitative and bilateral to compare
LOOKING FOR: - swelling
- deformity
- discoloration
Assessing Injury: ROM
LOOK FOR:
- Limited
- Excessive (damage to ligaments, capsuls etc.)
- Pain
THEN INTERPRET
Reasonable values for ROM in Knee
Flexion: 140
Extension: 0
Medial Rotation: 30
Lateral rotation: 40
Reasonable values for hip ROM
Flexion: 120
Extension: 30
Medial Rotation: 45
Lateral rotation: 45
Reasonable values for ankle ROM
Dorsiflexion: 20
Plantarflexion: 50
Inversion: 20
Eversion: 20
Reasonable values for Shoulder ROM
Flexion: 180
Abduction: 180
Medial rotation: 70
Lateral rotation: 90
Assessing injury: resistance
THROUGH MANUAL STREGTH TEST GRADING
0. can’t contract at all
1. flicker of contraction, can’t create motion
2. moves but can’t over come gravity
3. can overcome gravity, can’t handle additional force
4. Able to meet additional resistance
5. Strength = to uninvolved side
Assessing injuries: Special tests and palpation
- Use index of suspicion (IOS) list
- reproduce mechanism of injury
- reproduce symptoms
- no test is perfect (may have to do multiple different ones)
Grades of ligament tears
- Tearing of only a few ligament fibers
- More severe partial tearing of the ligament
- Complete tear of the ligament
When is pain most likely to show up?
- injured muscle contracts
- injured tissue is pulled apart
- injured joint surface is compressed
What does PEACE refer to when discussing care for soft tissue injuries
Protect
Elevate
Avoid
Compress
Elevate
Plantar Fasciopathy
- Plantar heel pain ( where fascia anchors)
- Localized pain that sometimes spreads
- Pain in the morning or while running
- insidious onset
- Usually prevalent in runners or old fat sedentary people
Windlass Mechanism
- Great stretch on plantar aponeurosis caused by impact with plantarflexion
- Stretch causes bounce back to supination
