RSI's Flashcards
Etiology of Chronic inflammation includes
a) overuse
b) cumulative trauma
c) repetitive strain
d) all of the above
d) all of the above
T/F repetitive microtrauma or repeated strain overload over time results in structural weakening
true
most current research is showing that in many cases tendon pain is not accompanied by inflammation, this results in tendon pain being referred to as
tendonopathy
______ is a general term referring to tendon pathology
tendonopathy
_____ is acute or chronic inflammation of a tendon
tendonitits
_______ is chronic degradation of a tendon without inflammation
tendonosis
T/F tendonosis is characterized by disrupted collagen fibres within the tendon
true
_______ is inflammation of a tendon sheath
tenosynovitis
when a tendon is constantly undergoing microtrauma, it will suffer from small tear in the fibres. These are repaired with _____
a) collagen
b) scar tissue
c) fascia
scar tissue
over time, the collagen fibres that make up the scar tissue in a traumatized tendon can build up to create a/an
a) lesion
b) thrombus
c) adhesion
d) carbuncle
adhesion
the repair and replacement of inflamed tissues by connective tissue is otherwise known as
a) ankylosis
b) tenosynovitis
c) fibrosis
d) calcification
c) fibrosis
during palpation, a tendonopathy will feel
a) leathery
b) rubbery
c) granular/gritty
d) squishy
c) granular/gritty
T/F there can be edema in the subacute & chronic stage of a tendonopathy
true
T/F there will be pain only during resisted testing since tendons are contractile
false, there may also be pain with stretch as well as PR testing
common sites of tendonopathy includes
a) supraspinatus tendon
b) biceps brachii long head
c) CET
d) CFT
e) all of the above
e) all of the above
