4 conditions related to myotomes
- trigger pionts
- fibromyalgia
- myofacial pain syndrome
- overuse syndrome
back pain that is so bad it makes the patient sick
autonomic pain
deep diffuse pain
sclerotome pain
pain that follows vascular routes rather than nerve distribution
sclerotome pain
how does activity affect sclerotome pain
exacerbates pain
annulus fibrosis is involved with which type of pain
sclerotome pain
nucleus pulposus is involved with which type of pain
dermatomal pain
dermatomal pain is aka
radicular pain
what are the three sensory fibers
- A Alpha
- A Delta
- C fibers
large, myelinated fibers; the fastest
A alpha
fibers that carry vibration and proprioception
A alpha
medium to large, myelinated fibers; medium speed
A delta
fibers that carry temperature
A delta
small, unmyelinated, slow fibers
C fibers
fibers that carry pain
C fibers
which fibers carry light touch and pressure sense?
alpha, delta, and c fibers
4 areas of concern for new beginning doctors
- omission
- wrong synthesis
- inadequate synthesis
- premature closure
found to occur when the available data contradicted the conclusion
wrong synthesis
noted when an important clinical clue was simply ignored
omission
occurs when conclusions could be supported by data, but were not
inadequate synthesis
