MOI Flashcards
Physical injury or wound sustained in sport, produced by an external or internal force
Trauma
Outside force acting on tissue
Load
Internal reaction or resistance to an external force
Stress
Elastic limit of tissue
Yield point
Elastic limit of tissue is exceeded, causing tissue to break
Mechanical failure
Involuntary muscle contraction characterized by alternate contraction and relaxation
Clonic
Muscle contraction characterized by constant contraction
Tonic
Involuntary muscle contraction
Muscle cramp
Muscle contraction in response to pain
Muscle guarding pain
Pain caused by overexertion
Muscle soreness
Stretching or tearing of a ligament
Sprain
Fluid filled sac
Bursae
Area of tenderness in a tight band of muscle
Trigger point muscle
Attaches muscle to bone
Tendon
When something occurs out of place
Ectopic
Cracking feel or sound
Crepitus
Provide info on joint position
Mechanoreceptors position
Stretching or tearing of muscle or tendon
Strain
Force that pulls or stretches tissue
Tension
Produced by external loads applied towards one another (opposite directions)
Compression
Equal but not opposite loads applied to surfaces, moving in parallel directions
Shearing
When two or three force pairs act at opposite ends of a structure or a bowed structure is axially loaded
Bending
Loads twisting in opposite directions that cause stress over cross section
Torsion
Acute traumatic injuries
Fractures Dislocations and subluxations Ligament sprains Contusions Muscle sprains Muscle guarding Muscle cramping Nerve injuries Muscle soreness
Chronic overuse injuries
Tendinosis/Tendonitis/Tendonipathy Bursitis Osteoarthritis Myofacial Trigger Points Tenosynovitis
Injury that has a beginning point
Acute
Result from overuse
Chronic
