Movement Science Unit 7 Flashcards
In the Acute/Inflammatory Phase of healing, what are potential exam finding that you may find?
Pain Assessment?
Palpation for condition?
AROM/PROM?
Muscle Performance?
- Pain Assessment: Increased pain, high tissue reactivity
- Palpation for condition: Increased girth, warmth, and redness
- AROM/PROM: Pain, muscle guarding BEFORE end-range, swelling, soft or empty end-feel
- Muscle Performance: Muscle Inhibition
In the Acute/Inflammatory Phase of healing, what are the Goals in managing patients in this stage? (4)
- Control/Reduce pain, edema, spasms
- Maintain soft tissue/joint integrity and mobility
- Maintain integrity and function of associated areas
- Facilitate healing process
In the Acute/Inflammatory Phase of healing, one of the Goals is to Control/Reduce pain, edema, and spasm. How would we manage this? (4)
- PRICE (Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation)
- Immobilize
- Grade 1 and 2 Joint Oscillations
- Modalities
In the Acute/Inflammatory Phase of healing, one of the Goals is to Maintain soft tissue/Joint Integrity and mobility? How would we manage this? (3)
- Gentle Passive ROM - No Pain
- Muscle setting exercise
- Massage
In the Acute/Inflammatory Phase of healing, one of the Goals is to Maintain Integrity and Function of Associated Areas. How would we manage this?
(2)
- Active movement of associated areas (ROM, resisted, Aerobic, etc)
- Possible adaptive or assisted devices
In the Acute/Inflammatory Phase of healing, one of the Goals is to Facilitate healing through Patient Education. How would we manage this? (3)
- Inform anticipated healing time and irritating factors
- Teach HEP
- Encourage function activities consistent with plan
In the Acute/Inflammatory Phase of healing, what are the Precautions and Contraindications?
Precautions:
- Increased Pain
- Increased Inflammation
Contraindications:
- No Resistance Exercises
- No Stretching Exercises
In the Subacute/Proliferation Phase of healing, what are the characteristics and clinical signs for this stage? (7)
- Decreased Inflammation
- Decreased Pain
- Clot Resolves and Repair Begins
- Increase Fibroblastic activity, collagen formation, formation of immature CT
- Very Fragile Tissue
- Appropriate loading needed
- Typically lasts 10-17 days (14-21 days after injury), bit sometimes longer (>6 weeks)
In the Subacute/Proliferation Phase of healing, what are Potential Exam finding you may find?
Pain Assessment?
Palpation for condition?
AROM/PROM?
Muscle Performance?
Movement Analysis?
- Pain Assessment: Decreasing Pain, low to moderate tissue reactivity
- Palpation for Condition: Decreased girth (decreasing edema, joint effusion), decreased muscle guarding
- AROM/PROM: Decreasing pain, pain likely AT end-range
- Muscle Performance: Weakness Present
- Movement Analysis: Decreased functional use of injured area and/or associated area; movement impaired
In the Subacute/Proliferation Phase of healing, was are the Goals in managing patients in this stage? (5)
- Promote healing
- Restore Joint/Soft Tissue Mobility
- Develop Neuromuscular Control, Muscle Endurance and Strength
- Maintain Function/Integrity of Associated Areas
- Educate Patient
In the Subacute/Proliferation Phase of healing, one of the goals was to Promote Healing. How would we manage this? (2)
- Monitor Response to treatment
- Protect healing tissues is needed (AD, tape, wrap)
In the Subacute/Proliferation Phase of healing, one of the goals was to Restore Joint/Soft Tissue Mobility. How would we manage this? (2)
- PROM -> AAROM and Isometrics -> AROM -> Weight Bearing and Low Intensity Resisted Exercises
- Emphasize control of exercise pattern and proper mechanics
In the Subacute/Proliferation Phase of healing, one of the goals was to Develop Neuromuscular Control, Muscle Endurance, and Strength. How would we manage this?
- Progressive strengthening and stabilizing exercises without re-injuring
In the Subacute/Proliferation Phase of healing, one of the goals was to Educate Patient. How would we manage this?
- Inform anticipated healing time and precautions; teach HEP.
In the Chronic/Maturation Phase of healing, what are the Characteristics and Clinical Signs? (6)
- Maturation and remodeling of Collagen and Scar Tissue
- Return to function
- No Inflammation
- Minimal to no pain and/or pain at End-range with overpressure
- Possible decreased strength, ROM and function
- Typically begins around day 21 and can last several weeks to months
