Strand 3 (Injury & Healing Process) Flashcards
Acute Injury
Injury with sudden onset with a definite time of occurrence
Ex: Sprained Ancle, Torn ACL
Chronic Injury
Injury from prolonged overuse
Ex: Shin Splints, Osgood Schlatters
Inflammation is…
The body’s normal response to injury
3 Phases of Healing
Acute, sub-acute & remodeling
Acute Phase: Alternate Name
Inflammation
Acute Phase: Time Frame
2-3 days
Acute Phase: what is happening?
Blood vessels are ruined (hypoxia), pain, swelling, redness, loss of function
Sub-Acute Phase: Alternate Name
Repair & Regeneration
Sub- Acute Phase: Time
3-4 weeks
Sub-Acute Phase: what is happening?
Cellular debris cleared, normalize blood flow, regeneration of tissue
Remodeling Phase: Alternate Name
Maturation
Remodeling Phase: Time
1 year
Remodeling Phase: what is happening?
Activity of fibroblasts decreases, collagen fibers strengthen and attempt to align with existing fibers
Signs of Inflamation (5)
Redness, heat, swelling, pain, loss of function
Causes of Pain (2)
Processes that contribute to Swelling (4)
Describe Scar Tissue
What produces scar tissue?
What are adhesions & what can prevent them?
End Result of Adhesions
What are the three types of injuries?
1st Degree, 2nd Degree, 3rd Degree
1st Degree Injury: Explanation
Tissues are overly stretched
1st Degree Injury: Symptoms (4)
Pain, Minor Swelling, Loss of Function, Integrity of Fibers is Generally Maintained
2nd Degree Injury: Explanation
Tissue is partially torn
2nd Degree Injury: Symptoms (4)
Moderate Pain, Loss of Function (limits activity), Bruising, Integrity of fibers is effected + joint laxicity and decreased strength
3rd Degree: Explination
3rd Degree: Symptoms
What does SOAP stand for?
Subjective, Objective, Assessment and Plan
What are the 5 psychological phases of an injury in order?
Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance
Which plane splits the left from right?
Saggital Plane
Which plane splits from top to bottom?
Horizonal Plane
Which plane splits front from back?
Frontal Plane
Define Joint Laxicity
Looseness of Joints due to loose ligaments
Define Effusion
Swelling in a joint
Define Edema
Swelling due to abnormal amounts of fluid in a tissue
Define Ecchymosis
Bruising/ bleeding visible beneath the skin
Define Vasoconstriction
Blood vessel is pinched off or smaller than normal
Define Vasodilation
Blood vessel is enlarged
What is a SOAP note?
Documentation method for injury
What does HIPS stand for?
History of Injury,
What is a compression fracture?
Caused by compression in the spine
What is a depressed fracture?
Indent in skull
What is a greenstick fracture?
Partial break in bone generally in kids with developing bones
What is a commriuted fracture?
A fracture in more than 2 places
What is a longitudinal fracture?
Fracture on the axis of a long bone
What is a spiral fracture?
Broken by twisting
What is a transverse fracture?
A right angle fracture, perpendicular to the bone
