name of specific injury or condition

19

define prognosis

A

the projected outcome of the injury

20

A

form and marking of the body surface (important for injury assessment

22
Q

define contralateral

A

on the opposite side

23
Q

A

on the same side

24
Q

define mechanism of injury

A

manner and location by which excessive forces or stresses are applied to the body, resulting in athletic injury

25
Q

go over directional terms
- superior/inferior
- proximal/distal
- lateral/medial
- anterior/posterior // ventral/dorsal
- cephalic/caudal

A

can’t add a picture :(((

26
Q

go over the body reference system
- sagittal plane
- median plane
- frontal plane
- transverse plane

A
  • sagittal plane (like median plane but doesn’t have to go down the direct centre of the body
  • median plane (goes down the middle of the body separating left and right)
  • frontal plane (separating the front of the body from the back of the body)
  • transverse plane (goes through belly button separating torso from legs)
27
Q

for the frontal plane give
- joint actions
- example exercises
- Daily movements

A
  • joint actions —- abd, add, lateral flexion
  • example exercises —- side lunge, shoulder lateral raises
  • Daily movements —- side-stepping, reaching sideways
28

for the sagittal plane give
- joint actions
- example exercises
- Daily movements

A

  • example exercises —- leg extension, forward lunge, biceps curl, triceps extension
  • Daily movements —- raising cup to mouth, kicking a ball
29
Q

for the horizontal/transverse plane give
- joint actions
- example exercises
- Daily movements

A
  • joint actions —- rotation, circumduction, horizontal flex and ext, supination, pronation
  • example exercises —- twisted lunge, side plank with rotation
  • Daily movements —- getting into car, turning to talk to someone, changing direction
30
Q

what do you do during observation

A

look for body form - deformity? joint gaps?
look for symmetry - hypertrophy? atrophy? swelling?
identifying the shape and placement of a bone - as a whole or locating specific bone markings

31
Q

give 3 examples of prominent landmarks

A

zygomatic bone - patella - calcaneus - iliac crest (ASIS/PSIS), acromion process of scapula
