repetitive strain injury Flashcards
minor injury that never causes an acute response
microtrauma
tissue that has already sustained microtrauma, when continuously stressed, won’t have the opportunity to heal and leads to ______
chronic inflammation
how long does the acute stage of healing typically last
4-6 days
stage of healing which includes the inflammatory response
acute stage
stage of healing that includes proliferation, repair, and healing
subacute stage
stage of healing in which inflammation decreases
subacute
stage of healing in which pain is syncrhonous with encountering tissue resistance, with stressing new or short tissue beyond its tolerance
subacute
how long does the subacute healing phase last
10-17 days
how will tissue in the subacute phase test
weak, usualy short
stage of healing that involves maturation and remodeling
chronic phase
stage of healing with no inflammation
chronic
stage of healing in which contractures/adhesions may limit range
chronic
stage of healing in which muscle weakness/poor endurance/poor neuromuscular control may limit function
chronic
stage of healing in which connective tissue remodels and strengthens in response to stress
chronic
stage of healing in which stretch pain may be felt due to tight/adhered structures
chronic
how long does the chronic stage of healing last
6-12 months
how does chronic inflammation differ from acute
due to repetitive stress lasts beyond acute period. and on a cellular level: an upregulation of fibroblasts, increased microphages, and increased lymphocytes
what results from chronic inflammation
increased collagen production
how does increased collagen production during chronic inflammation affect tissue
a predominance of new, immature collagen results to weakened tissue
how do many repetitive strain injuries present themselves
slow, insidious onset
