principles of intervention Flashcards
discuss the characteristics of acute stage
aka reaction or inflammatory stage
lasts 4-6 days from injury; unless re-injured
cardinal signs of inflammation
pain at rest and before tissue resistance
impaired ROM d/t pain or muscle guarding
dec use of assoc parts
discuss the characteristics of subacute stage
aka proliferation, repair or healing stage
lasts 10-17 days; 6 wks if tendon
signs of inflammation dec or absent
paint during tissue resistance and end range
impaired ROM d/t contractures, tightness, atrophy
dec function and strength from disuse
discuss the characteristics of chronic stage
aka maturation and remodeling stage
lasts for 6 mon - 1 yr
(-) signs of inflammation
pain after tissue resistance
impaired ROM d/t weakness, poor endurance, poor muscle control
dec or unable to function
what are the signs of inflammation
paint at rest - dolor
swelling - tumor
redness - rubor
heat - calor
loss of function - functio laesa
when does scar retraction occur
day 21 - chronic stage
remodeling time is influenced by factors that affect ________
density and activity of fibroblasts
give factors that affect density and activity of fibroblasts
time of immobilization
stress placed on tissue
location of lesion
vascular supply
differentiate the state of healing between late subacute and chronic
late subacute - formation of collagen and tissue; fragile and poorly oriented
chronic - improved quality of collagen tensile strength and orientation and reduction of wound size
area at high risk of injury in skeletal muscle
myotendinous junction
common MOI for muscle injuries
high demand or high impact activity - strain
direct trauma - contusion
discuss classification of muscle injuries
grade 1 (minor) - tearing few fibers; minimal strength loss
grade 2 (moderate) - tearing of more fibers (partial); loss of contractile strength
grade 3 (severe) - cross sectional rupture; complete loss of strength
characteristics of destruction phase in muscle injuries
necrosis of torn fibers
hematoma and inflammation
fibrin and fibronectin provide support against contraction
characteristics of repair phase in muscle injuries
after few days to few weeks post-injury
phagocytosis of necrotic tissue
regeneration of contractile elements
myofiber formation and scar formation
characteristics of remodeling phase in muscle injuries
after 4-6 wks post-injury
re-organization of tissue integrity and functional maturation
compare the healing of small and large muscle injuries
small - muscle tissue
large - scar tissue
give clinical implications for rehab of muscle injuries
rest vv important in early phase to promote healing
use modalities to control inflammation, edema, stiffness, pain
early activity at available range to prevent adhesions, contracture and dec strength
no active stretching 3-7 days post-injury to prevent re-injury
when can active stretching can be done in rehab of muscles ?
bawal 3-7 days post-injury pero pwede na after
common MOI tendinopathy
repetitive motions, loading (overuse) = microtears or abrupt forceful contraction
usual time frame for achilles tendon rupture in terms of healing and return to sports
12-16 wks to heal after injury
return to sport after 3-6 months
characteristics of inflammatory phase in tendinous injuries
acute - few days to wks after injury
(+) signs of inflammation
characteristics of proliferative phase in tendinous injuries
few days to few weeks after injury and up to 6 wks
collagen synthesis
correct faulty biomech and compensatory posture/motions
characteristics of remodeling phase in tendinous injuries
about 6 wks after injury
fibrous repair; collagen aligns based on direction of stress placed on tendon (strengthening starts but no too intense)
characteristics of scar formation phase in tendinous injuries
10 wks to 1 yr
decline of tendon metabolism and vascularity
strengthening in tissue continues (pwede na higher intensity)
give clinical implications for rehab of tendinous injuries
avoid prolonged immob
identify postural dysfunction or biomech fault to reduce improper loading on tendon
strengthening and stretching designed for remodeling then progress if in scar formation na
common MOI for ligamentous injuries
from excessive lengthening of ligament
most commonly injured ligaments
lateral ankle ligaments tas ACL
discuss grade 1 ligamental injury
stretched ligament; no excessive motion
few fibers in plastic range ruptured; intervention and protection
discuss grade 2 ligamental injury
partial tear in ligament; moderate joint laxity
surgery is dependent on instab and goals of pt
