Tendons

Question 1

Tendonitis/ Tenosynovitis is

Answer 1

acute inflammatory response to injury that results in inflammation: heat swelling and pain

Question 2

Tendinosis- a degenerative pathological change in a tendon (not inflammation) tendon tissue become micro fragmented

Answer 2

a degenerative pathological change in a tendon (not inflammation) tendon tissue become micro fragmented

Question 3

Risks for tendonitis

Answer 3

1. Over 35
2. high intensity work or sports over 30 mins 3+ times a week
3. demanding technique or posturing
4. sub par level of fitnesss

Question 4

Teaching guildlines

Answer 4

Good posture all times

Proximal UE exercise + aerobic help lympthatic flow and promote circulation to distal UE

Good body menchics during activity

Question 5

Good body menchics elbow close to side forearms + wrist in neutral 2 handed activities in front of an close to body

Answer 5

elbow close to side

forearms + wrist in neutral

2 handed activities in front of and close to body

Question 6

Pain at rest worsens w ROM/Daily activities what phase

Answer 6

Acute Phase

Question 7

≠ pain at rest or with ROM/

Answer 7

Resorative phase

Question 8

Emphasis accute phase

Answer 8

reducing pain/ promote healing

Question 9

Superficial heat, continuous wave ultrasound ice DA emphasis ^ flexibility strength + endurance+ high voltage pulsed current reduce pain (heat w/care if swelling is present)

Splinting + light compressive help rest tissue + reduce pain

AROM + gentl isometric exercises in pain free rangemin-

More forceful contractions w/isometric exceercise

Progressive resistive concentric exercise

Cautious eccentric exercise IOJOOPJPO

Answer 9

Superficial heat, continuous wave ultrasound ice DA emphasis

^ flexibility strength + endurance+ high voltage pulsed current reduce pain (heat w/care if swelling is present)Splinting + light compressive help rest tissue + reduce pain
