Taping mod final Flashcards
(46 cards)
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
