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

an example of tenosynovitis would be
gamers thumb
tenosynovitis in the extensor pollicics brevis & abductor pollicis longus tendon sheath is AKA

T/F cool or cold hydrotherapy would be an appropriate treatment for a PT in the acute stage of a tendonopathy
true
the goal of treatment when treating an acute tendonopathy would be to
a) decrease UMRT
b) control inflammation
c) increase ROM
d) a&b
d) a&b
which of the following would be appropriate techniques to use on a PT with acute tendonopathy
a) muscle stripping
b) heavy tapotement
c) GTO
d) none of the above
d) none of the above, GTO is a COMPLETE CI at the lesion site
T/F in the subacute stages of a tendonopathy you can begin to challenge the tissue
true
in the subacute stage, which of the following techniques will help build a strong, mobile scar?
a) skin rolling
b) frictions
c) myofascial work
d) direct fascial work
e) all of the above
e) all of the above
some examples of appropriate hydrotherapy in the subacute stage of a tendonopathy include
a) ice cube massage
b) castor oil
c) wax with heat
d) b&c
d) b&c
______ tendonitis is when calcium deposits occur in a damaged tendon
calcific
_____ is a cystic tumor developing in a tendon sheath
ganglion
stenosing tenosynovitis is AKA
trigger finger
the following is an accurate description of stenosing tenosynovitis
a) a sac-like structure filled with synovial fluid
b) inability of a finger to flex or extend as a result of a nodule or tendon thickening
c) the repair and replacement of inflamed tissues by connective tissue
d) acute or chronic inflammation of a tendon
b) the inability of a finger to flex or extend as a result of a nodule or thickening
trauma and conditions such as RA and infection can lead to
a) bursitis
b) stenosing tenosynovitis
c) tendonosis
a) bursitis
bursitis is typically accompanied by a characteristic ____ pain
rebound
T/F with AR testing, the pain will be greatest after releasing if the patient has bursitis
true
