Musculoskeletal Part Seventeen Flashcards
which MRI is better for looking at pathology
T2
what is Burn’s test
the patient kneels and bends over a chair to touch the floor
when is lateral retinaculur release performed
as a result of PFPS
to restore normal tracking of the patella during contraction of the quads
CTs are especially useful for…
chest and abdomen
side effects of NSAIDs
GI irritation
fluid retention
renal or liver problems
prolonged bleeding
what should be avoided following uncomplicted TKR
continuous passive motion machines
when are nonnarcotic analgesis prescribed
when NSAIDs are contraindicated
what ROM is hinged brace set at s/p PCL surgery
0 degrees during ambulation
tests to evaluate malingering back pain
Hoover’s
Burn’s
Waddells’
what ROM is hinged brace set at s/p ACL surgery
20-70 degrees
purpose of functional MRI
detect metabolic changes in the brain
side effects muscle relaxants
drowsiness
lethargy
ataxia
decreased alertness
absolute contraindications to joint oscillation
joint anklylosis
malignancy in bone
Ra, Downs
arterial insufficiency
active inflammatory process
what else can CTs do pretty well
measure bone density and identify tumors
bone density scans are used to…
to differentiate between osteopenia and osteoporosis
whhat setting should continuous passive motion machine s/p ACL surgery be used on
PROM 0-70 degrees
the Cyriax belief regarding muscle dysfunction
due to interplay between contractile and noncontractile tissues
what is malingering (symptom magnification syndrome)
behavioral response where displays of symptoms control the life of the patient, leading to functional disability
what is the most commonly prescribed medication for pain relief for musculoskeletal dysfunction
NSAID
which MRI is better for looking at anatomy
T1
MRI is very good at visualizing…
soft tissues
disadvantages to CT
LOTS OF RADIATION
not good at soft tissue structures as MRI
x-rays AKA
radiograph
primary purpose of angiography
to examine blood vessels throughout the body
