MSK exam 1 Flashcards
Standardized assessments for OA/RA
COPM, DASH, HAQ, FCE, MAP-HAND
Acute stage
focus on genelt prom.arom, no stretch, education limit stress to joints
subacute stage
PROM/AROM gentle stretch, graded isometic/isotnic limit stress to joints
chronic active and inactive
strecth at end range
pressure injury stage 1
skin intact, underlying tissues unfaccected, localized area non blanch, redness in skin , may be tender to touch
stage 2 pressure sore
involves epidermis adn potentially dermis ; open are break in skin, may present as blister
stage 3 pressure sore
deep wound, full thickness tissue loss with possible exposure to subcutaneous fat, bone, tendon and muscle not exposed; slugh may be present
Stage 4 pressure sore
full thickness tissure loss; muscle tendo n or bone exposed, sliugh or eschar showing
Stage 5 pressure sore
unstageable– extent of skin adn tissue loss , obscured by slugh and eschar
Selective debridment
sharp
autolytic
enxymatic
Sharp debridment
use of forceps, scissors, or a scalpel to slectively remove devitalized tissue, foreign matieral and debris
Autolytic debridment
maintaining a warm, moist wound environment to allow endogenous enzymes to digest necrotic material
enzymatic debridment
the use of exogneous enzymes to remove devilzed tissue
non selctive debridement
mechanical - use of force (water)
Phases of burns
Emegent phase – initoial to 4-6 days post brun
acute phase – 1 weeks to 28 days
rehab phase – 1 month phase to 2 years post injury
Ultrasound parameters 1MhZ
1 MHz is low frequency , used for deeper tissues - 2cm or deeper
acute/ inflammatory parameters for non thermal
0.2 10-20% duty cycle
3MHz ultrasound
consider higher frequency - treats superficial tissues
subacute mild heating
0.2-0.8 W/cm2 50% duty cycle
chronic thermal
100% duty cycle 0.8-2.5 w/cm2
thermal heating ultrasound used for
joint contracute, scar tissue softening, chronic inflammation, increase tissue extensibility, pain, increased blood flow, soft tissue healing descreases muscle spams
non thermal uses
pusled settings
depth of lesion for superficial
2cm 0r less 3 MHZ
depth of 2-5cm or greater
1MHz
