Question 15

Inflammation of a tendon caused by overuse

Answer 15

Tendinitis

Question 16

Degenerative condition of the tendon characterized by minimal inflammation and neovascularization

Answer 16

Tendinopathy

Question 17

What are the 3 phases of tissue healing?

Answer 17

1. Inflammatory Response
2. Fibroblastic Repair
3. Maturation-Remodeling

Question 18

Which phase is characterized by pain, swelling, redness, decreased collagen synthesis, increased number of inflammatory cells, edema, and phagocytosis (release of macrophages)

Answer 18

Inflammatory response phase

Question 18

Which phase is characterized by collagen fiber production, laying down of new collagen in random, unorganized pattern; inflammation has decreased but new tissue is still very weak

Answer 18

Fibroblastic Repair

Question 19

Which phase is characterized by the proper alignment of the collagen fibers and increasing tissue strength

Answer 19

Maturation-Remodeling

Question 20

Treatment goal: prevention of new tissue disruption and prolonged inflammation with the use of relative rest and passive modalities

Maintenance of cardiorespiratory function and surrounding neuroskeletal systems

What phase is this?

Answer 20

Inflammatory phase

Question 21

Treatment goal: prevention of excessive muscle atrophy and joint deterioration of the injured area

Maintain function of the neuromusculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory systems

What phase is this?

Answer 21

Fibroblastic Repair phase

Question 21

Treatment goal: Optimization of tissue function; application of appropriate loads to ensure proper collagen alignment; progressive loading of the neuromusculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory systems as indicated

What phase is this?

Answer 21

Maturation-Remodeling phase

Question 22

What activities can be performed during the inflammatory phase?

Answer 22

No active exercise of the injured area

Cardio and resistance exercises involving unaffected limbs and surrounding areas can be performed

Question 23

What activities can be performed during the fibroblastic Repair phase?

Answer 23

May begin to lightly load injured area; isometric exercises; sub-maximal (<50% 1RM) eccentric and concentric exercises

Balance and proprioceptive training activities

Question 24

What activities can be performed during the Maturation-Remodeling phase?

Answer 24

Progressively increase the load of exercises begun in the fibroblastic phase.

Joint angle-specific strengthening, velocity-specific muscle activity, closed and open kinetic chain exercises, proprioceptive training

Activities should be sport-specific whenever possible

Question 25

Protocol for Knight’s Daily Adjustable Progressive Resistive Exercise (DAPRE) protocol

Answer 25

1st set: 10 reps @ 50% 1RM
2nd set: 6 reps @ 75% 1RM
3rd: As many reps as possible @ 100% of estimated 1RM
4th: Adjust weight depending on how many reps were achieved in 3rd set

Question 26

Which two exercises are recommended for the reduction of lower body injury risk?

Answer 26

1) proper jumping and landing technique during plyometric exercises
2) Unilateral strength exercises such as Single Leg squat
