28
Q

describe reflex muscle guarding

A

response to pain/injury

acts to splint, reduce movement and prevent further injury

can result from referred pain

guarding stops when pain is relieved

29
Q

describe intrinsic muscle spasm

A

self perpetuating pain spasm cycle

indirect or direct trauma

increase in SNS due to not knowing why mm is spasming

RESTRICTS MOVEMENT OF JOINT IF CROSSED BY MUSCLE

circulatory stasis, metabolite build up

30
Q

what is tone

A

resistance of a relaxed muscle

31
Q

what is tension

A

increase in tone in mm that tend to shorten

32
Q

what causes muscle contraction

A

filaments move past each other, pulling on actin, repeated actions produce muscular contraction

33
Q

muscle spindle and golgi tendon transmit proprioceptive info from muscles to the CNS to allow proper functioning

A

true

34
Q

where are muscle spindles found

where are golgi tendons found

A

muscle belly

tendons

35
Q

what do muscle spindles do\

what do they measure

A

major sensory organs that aid in control of movement

measure muscle stretch / speed

36
Q

causes of muscle spasms (6)

A

pain

circulatory stasis

increased gamma firing

chilling of muscle

impaired nutritional supply

lack of vit d

37
Q

symptom picture of spasms

A

pain within muscle due to ischemia and retention of metabolites

spasm/hypertonicity

decreased ROM of joint crossed by shortened affected muscle

antagonist/synergists muscles are affected

38
Q

what does an acutely spasmodic spasm feel like

A

firm dense congested

39
Q

what is the texture of a intrinsic spasm

A

hard fibrous

40
Q

describe abrasion

A

superficial wound w ragged edges

extremely painful

41
Q

how does a muscle spasm occur

A

an action potential stimulates release of calcium –> initates mm contraction

when action potential stops, calcium is recovered and mm contraction ceases

in a spasm, the contraction continues

42
Q

define laceration

A

increased tissue loss w ragged edges

43
Q

define incision

A

clean approximated edges
from sharp object

44
Q

define puncture

A

clean edges w small entry point

45
Q

define animal bite

A

combo of laceration, crush, puncture

46
Q

what happens within a short amount of time in first intention healing, then what happens later on

A

thin layer of fibrin, basis for a clot of laid down

re-epithelization is complete in 2-3 days

site is closed to bacteria

over 10-14 days fibroblasts and collagen add strength

47
Q

what happens in second intention healing

A

if dermis is affected

moisture allows better healing

48
Q

describe superficial burn (1st degree)

A

affects epidermis

prolonged low heat or quick exposure to high heat

redness/pain

mild edema

within week epithelium sloughs off

healing is rapid, no scar tissue but discoloration may occur

49
Q

describe partial thickness (2nd degree burn)

A

goes into dermis

blistering

increased edema, risk of infection, decreased pain due to nerve damage

new layer of skin as a barrier within 14-21 days , deeper burns in 21-35 days

good functional return, minimal scar tissue

deeper= contracture, fibrosis, joint mob restrictions

50
Q

full thickness (third/fourth degree) burn

A

affects down to subcutaneous
down to muscles, bone, tendon

burns look waxy, dry, white or charred

painless = nevre damage

re-ep is not possible because of tissue damage

skin grafts needed

51
Q

what is hypertrophic scar tissue

A

fibres organizing into adhesions w reduced elasticity combined w contraction of myofibroblasts causes “heaped up” tissue

AKA tissue appears heaped up

52
Q

goal for working with scar tissue

A

mobility
return strength
improve tissue health

53
Q

where is the area of a trigger point

A

the motor point where nerve stimulation initiates a contraction in a small, sensitive bundle of muscle fibres that in turn activates the entire muscle

54
Q

what causes a trigger point

A

calcium and ATP on myofascial tissues that have been stressed that causes the tissue to shorten producing taut band/nodule

55
Q

localized uncontrolled metabolic activity in area and localized acidic fluid environment does what

A

makes the nerve endings hyperirritable resulting in TP pain

56
Q

3 perpetuating factors of TP development

A

reflexive
mechanical
systemic

57
Q

reflexive perpetuating factors TP’s

A

skin sensitivity

joint / visceral dysfunction

vasoconstriction

nerve segment

58
Q

mechanical perpetuating factors

A

gait distortion
immobilization
vocational stress
restrictive clothes
furniture

59
Q

systemic perpetuating factors

A

enzyme dysfunction
metabolic / endocrine dysfunction

chronic infection

dietary insufficiencies

psychological stress

60
Q

what is an active trigger point

A

PAINFUL ALL THE TIME / AT REST

prevents mm from fully lengthening

tender on palpation

referred pain in a specific pattern

when mm is lengthened to point of pain a protective mm spasm occurs

61
Q

on an active TP what can palpation produce

A

a local twitch response and possible referred autonomic phenomena

62
Q

what is a latent trigger point

A

produces pain only when palpated

more common than active can persist for years

all other characteristics of active may occur w latent

63
Q

primary trigger points

A

activated by acute or chronic mechanical strain or overload of affected muscle

64
Q

secondary trigger point

A

activated in the overworked synergist or antagonist muscles

65
Q

satellite trigger points

A

found in muscles that lie within the referral pattern of another trigger point

66
Q

who invented trigger points

A

travell

simons

67
Q

what is panniculosis

A

thickening of subcutaneous tissue

granular feel

68
Q

what is a jump sign

A

when pain is intense enough to cause client to jump
