Q

Explanation behind the “S.A.I.D.” Principle

A

When an injured structure is subjected to stresses and overloads of varying intensities it will gradually adapt over time to whatever demands are placed on it

produce immediate pain and disability

48
Q

The inflammatory response phase causes what?

A

Redness, swelling, tenderness, increased temperature

49
Q

Formation of a Clot Process

A
  • Injury exposes collagen in vascular wall where platelets can adhere to create a sticky matrix
  • Plug obstruct local lymphatic fluid drainage and localizes injury response
  • Clot formation begins around 12 hours after injury and is completed around 48 hours
  • Initial inflammatory phase lasts up to 2-4 days after initial injury
