Musculoskeletal injuries 1 Flashcards
what is malfeasance
commits an act that is not their responsibility
what is misfeasance
commits an act that is their responsibility to perform but uses the wrong procedure or does the right procedure in an improper manner
what is nonfeasance
fails to perform their legal duty of care
what is malpractice
commits a negligent act while providing care
what is gross negligence
total disregard for the safety of others
what are the three types of force
compression/ tensile
shear
tension
what is a muscle contusion
a result of a sudden traumatic blow where a muscle is crushed (bruised muscle)
what is hematoma
bruising
what is the history of a muscle contusion
acute onset
what is the mechanism of injury of a muscle contusion
due to a compressive force
what is ecchymosis
bruising
why might ROM be affected with a muscle contusion
swelling and haemorrhage
what two types of injuries are graded
muscle contusion
muscle strain
what is a muscle strain
pulling apart, stretch, tear, rip of a muscle, tendon or fascia
what is the result of a passive force causing the muscle to length
muscle strain
what are the 3 properties of muscles
viscoelasticity
irritability
contractility
what is viscoelasticity
allows m. to return to stretch to greater lengths over time in response to a sustained tensile force
- extensibility -ability to stretch
- elasticity- ability to return to normal length
what is irritability
ability to respond to a stimulus
- electrochemical-nerve impulse
- mechanical-external blow
what is contractility
ability to develop tension
- isometric
- concentric
- eccentric
what is the history of a muscle strain
acute onset
what is the mechanism of injury for a m. strain
due to an overstretch or overload on the m.
how is the pain described for a m. strain
pain is localised over the injury, which tends to be at or near the musculotendinous junction
is there any visible deformity in a m. strain
can be evident in the m.
is there any decolouration in a m. strain
yes caused by blood pooling distal to the site of trauma
