Taping mod final Flashcards
tendonitis/ why does it happen?
inflammation of tendon and repeated microtrauma
tendinosis
degeneration of the collagen in tendons
tenosynovitis/ acute and chronic symtoms
inflammation of synovial sheath. acute: rapid onset, crepotus chronic: thickening tendon
bursitis (chronic or acute?)
inflammation of bursa (chronic and acute)
periostitis
inflammation of the periosteum (around long bones)
osteopenia
reduced bone mass (below normal)
ecchymosis
medical term for bruising
edema
too much fluid stuck in the body’s tissues (medical term for swelling)
transfer of energy in modalities: conduction
direct transfer between two objects, there is physical contact (ice bags, ice packs)
transfer of energy in modalities : convection
occurs when a medium moves across the body creating temp variations (fluidotherapy and whirlpools)
transfer of energy in modalities: radiation
alters components of atoms (x ray)
transfer of energy in modalities: conversion
changing energy form into heat (ultrasound)
yield load
the amount a muscle can take before causing permanent damage
types of end feel
firm, soft, empty
what are signs?
objective, measurable physical finding (what you see)
whats are symptoms?
information provided by the injured person (subjective)
PROM (does patient help)
passive range of motion, no help needed from patient
AROM (does patient help)
active range of motion (motion performed voluntarily by the patient through muscle contraction)
RROM
Restricted range of motion, can assess muscle strength and detec injury to nervous system
primary survey steps
an initial assessment of airway, breathing and circulation of patient
secondary survey steps
a head to toe physical assessment
Isolated injury assessment
thorough examination of the part of the body to determine the extent
inversion ankle sprain (mechanism, predisposing factors)
mechanism: plantar flexion and inversion
factors: lateral malleolus projects down and decreased ROM in achilles
Eversion ankle sprain (mechanism and predisposing factors)
mechanism: excessive dorsiflexion and eversion
factors: excessive pronation and hypermobile foot
compartment syndrome
due to uncontrolled internal bleeding
mallet finger (cause and what it is)
rupture of the extensor tendon from distal phalanx , forceful flexion of PIP
plantar fasciitis
overuse condition, flat foot, standard acute
carpel tunnel syndrome
due to either direct trauma or overuse (awakening pain the middle of the night, pain numbness and tingling)
lateral epicondylitis
“tennis elbow”, due to eccentric load during deceleration phase of throwing
AC joint sprain
direct blow to shoulder, classified as grade 1,2 or 3 depending on ligament damage
rotator cuff impingement
the muscles of the rotator cuff or bursa becomes irritated and inflamed (loss of movement in shoulder)
tooth dislocation
time is of the essence; refer to dentist
concussion
transient alteration of brain function without structural damage
medial tibial stress syndrome
overuse syndrome, tibial bony overload associated with peristalsis (shin splints)
what are the components of a PPE?
med history, physical examination, mental illness, past injury and fitness testing
reasons for documentation
record keeping to avoid litigation, know the steps you’ve taken, provide as much info to the doctors when patient is passed off
Therapeutic exercise program progression (4)
- flexibility
- strength and endurance
- proprioception (how aware you are of your body) and coordination
- functional and sport specific activities
meniscus characteristics
what is standard acute injury management?
PRICE (protection, rest, ice, compression, elevation)
types of soft tissue
fat, muscle, nerve, blood vessels, ligaments, tendons and other fibrous tissue
three phases of the inflammatory phase?
inflmmatory, proliferative, maturation
inflammatory phase
0-6 days, edema occurs, high pain
proliferative phase
3-42 days, repair and regeneration of tissue, scar formation
maturation phase
3 weeks -1 year, remodelling of fibrous matrix to from mature scar tissue
AT responsibilities
prevent and care for injuries
Number of vertebrae
cervical (7), Thoracic (12), Lumbar (5), sacral (5 fused), coccyx (4 fused)
