quiz #2 - tendinitis, bursitis, dislocations Flashcards
dislocation
complete dissociation of articulating surfaces of a joint
subluxation
when articulating surfaces of a joint remain in partial contact with each other
GH - anterior dislocation
most common
caused by excessive ABD & external
rotation of humerus
GH - posterior dislocation
caused by flexion, ADD & internal rotation of humerus
patella dislocation
usually dislocated laterally
mechanism: external rotation of tibia & foot when knee is flexed
lunate dislocation
dislocates in a palmar direction
mechanism: by fall on outstretched hand, forcing wrist into hyperextension
elbow dislocation
often accompanied by fracture
caused by fall on outstretched hand or MVA
hip dislocation
uncommon
mechanism: car/ motorcycle accident
-if person seated, femur forced posteriorly by direct impact to knee
-following reduction, limb tractioned for up to 6 weeks
CI’s - dislocations
-avoid testing other than pain-free AF ROM in acute and subacute stages
-avoid removing protective mm splinting
-avoid distal circulation techniques in acute & early subacute stages
-joint play CI’d if capsule hasn’t been surgically reduced
-frictions CI’d if on anti-inflammatories or blood thinners
-avoid heavy hydro in acute & subacute stages
-remedial exercise in acute stage is CI’d
-ensure mm strength before restoring ROM in dislocation direction
dislocations - symptoms: ACUTE
intense pain, snapping sound, local edema, bruising, decreased ROM
dislocations - symptoms: EARLY SUBACUTE
reduced pain, edema, inflammation, developing adhesions, reduced ROM
dislocations - symptoms: LATE SUBACUTE
diminished bruising, increased mm tone, maturing adhesions
dislocations - symptoms: CHRONIC
local pain, mature adhesions, reduced ROM, potential mm weakness & instability
dislocations - H.H. questions
-do you know the mechanism of the injury?
-are you using any supports?
-what symptoms are you currently experiencing?
-what activities are difficult to complete
-was the joint immobilized or surgically repaired?
tendinitis
inflammation of a tendon
tendons
attach muscle to bone, part of musculotendinous unit
tendinitis - causes
chronic overload of tendon, leading to microtearing & an inflammatory response in tendon
contributing factors: mm imbalances, lack of flexibility, improper equipment & training errors
tendons - appearance in 2 shapes
-cord-like structures
-broad, sheet-like called aponeurosis
types of tendons - overuse injuries
tendinitis
paratendinitis
tendinosis
PARATENDINITIS
inflammation of paratendon or tendon sheath where structures associated with tendon, either of which may be irritated by tendon as it rubs over bony prominence
also called: “tenosynovitis” or “tenovaginitis”
tenosynovitis (paratendinits)
irritation of inner surface of tendon sheath by roughened surface of tendon
tenovaginitis
irritation & thickening of sheath itself
