Principles of MSK Flashcards
what tissue could be injured if pt reports paresthesias
spinal nerve
what tissue could be injured if pt reports numbness
peripheral nerve
what tissue could be injured if pt reports deep ache
joint
what tissue could be injured if pt reports sharp pain
inflammation
t/f
high sensitivity dx are better at ruling conditions in
false
high sensitivity dx are better at ruling conditions out (SNOUT)
t/f
low specificity dx are better at ruling conditions in
true
high sensitivity dx are better at ruling conditions in (SPIN)
what population commonly has a rigid body type? meaning, flatter spine, tighter hips, and genu/calcaneal varus
runners or propulsive athletes
what population commonly has a flexible body shape? meaning, excessive spinal curves with hypermobile hips, genu/calcaneal valgus
gymnasts with more absorbing body shapes
if pt reports that symptoms increase with exertion, what systems are indicated
cardiovascular and respiratory symptoms
improved pain/function with AROM can indicate what tissue injury/inhibition
inhibited muscle
regional interdependence
disc injury
worse pain/function with AROM can indicate what tissue injury
acute injury/irritation
what tissue is indicated if pain occurs in AROM and PROM
noncontractile tissue
PROM similarly restricted as AROM in the same direction indicates what tissues
joint hypomobility/protective guarding
PROM significantly greater than AROM in the same direction indicates what tissue injury
joint hypermobility/instability
WB: limited
NWB: limited
likely cause/general Rx?
fused, fixated, hypomobile joint
improve joint mobility
