Tissue Healing Flashcards
what is tendinitis?
inflammation of tendon
resulting in scarring or calcium deposits
what is tendinosis?
a pathology of CHRONIC degeneration without inflammation
what is tenosynovitis?
inflammation of synovial membrane
what is tenovaginitis?
inflammation with thickening of a tendon sheath
consequences of tendinosis
changes collagen; weakens tendon
reduces tensile strength
increases risk of tendon rupture
De Quervain’s is a example of ____
tenosynovitis of EPL
T/F: there is no pain with tendinosis
F
how does a tendon progress when a person is sedentary?
normal –> mechanically weakened –> (normal or excessive load +/- individual factors) –> reactive tendinopathy –> tendon dysrepair –> degenerative tendinopathy
symptoms of a grade I tissue injury
mild pain at time of injury or w/i 24 hrs
mild SWELLING, local tenderness
pain when injured tissues are stressed
normal joint feel
symptoms of a grade II tissue injury
moderate pain that affect ADLs
stress and palpation increases pain
tissue is partially torn
increased mobility
symptoms of a grade III tissue injury
near-complete/complete tear or avulsion
severe pain
stress is painLESS
palpation may reveal defect
unstable joint
what are the stages of tissue healing?
acute - inflammatory reaction
subacute - proliferation, repair, healing
chronic - maturation, remodeling
when is pain felt in the acute stage during ROM?
before full ROM is reached
when is pain felt in the subacute stage during ROM?
at the end of full ROM
when is pain felt in the chronic stage during ROM?
slightly after full ROM WITH OVERPRESSURE
how long does phase 1 of tissue healing last?
day 0-10
how long does phase 2 of tissue healing last?
day 2-22
how long does phase 3 of tissue healing last?
day 12 to 1 year+
