Q

describe the inflammatory phase: time frame & clinical picture

A

-0-6 days
Clinical picture:
-characterized by 5 signs of inflammation
-painful movement, constant
-patient guarding, limited function
- increased tissue tension
-increased edema

Q

describe proliferation phase: time frame and clinical picture

A

Time: 3-20 days
Clinical Picture:
-decreased signs of inflammation
-localized tenderness to touch (early)
-complain of pain when movement stresses injured tissue

Q

describe the 3 stages of proliferation phase

A

-Early: decreased swelling, major increase
-Mid: stagnant, symptoms still there but show later in ROM
-Late: very little pain only at end of ROM

16
Q

describe maturation phase: time and clinical picture

A

Time: 20 days to 3 years
Clinical picture:
-no signs of inflammation
-contractures or adhesions limit motion
-pain felt well with passive overpressure
-function limited by weakness, decreased endurance and/or poor neuromuscular control
-function is not limited pain

17
Q

rehabilitation consideration in maturation phase

A

-Wolff’s Law
-aggressive AROM and strengthening key at the start of this phase

18
Q

What is Wolff’s Law?

A

tissues respond to the demands places upon them causing remodeling or realignment of fibers along lines of tensile force

19
Q

Name some factors that impact the rate of healing

A

-extent of trauma
-edema
-hemorrhage
-poor vascular supply
-separation of tissue
-muscle spasm
-atrophy
-corticosteriods
-keloids and hypertrophic scars
-infection
-humidity, climate, oxygen tension
-health, age, nutrition

20
Q

what is pain?

A

unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage

21
Q

what are some things that is known about pain?

A

-individual
-past experience impacts perception of pain
-warning mechanism
-protects against injury
-prevents further injury
-can persist long after it is no longer useful

22
Q

what is acute pain?

A

experienced after injury has taken place and tissue damage is occurring

23
Q

what is chronic pain?

A

defined as pain lasting longer than 6 months
persistant pain (extension of chronic pain & described as pain that does not respond to intervention of a treatable condition)

24
Q

what is referred pain?

A

pain perceived to be in an area that has little relation to the pathology
can be long lasting (altered reflex patterns, continued mechanical stress on muscles, learned habits of guarding, & development of trigger points)

25
Q

what is radiating pain?

A

caused by irritation of nerves and nerve root

26
Q

what is deep somatic pain?

A

-pain coming from a sclerotome (sclerotome is a segment of bone innervated by spinal segment)
-often a difference between the site of pain and the location of pathology

27
Q

how do you measure pain?

A

many tools;
-type of pain
-quantify of pain intensity
-evaluate effect of pain on function
-psychological impact of pain
assess the psychological response to pain and injury

28
Q

how do pain charts work?

A

-established spatial properties of pain
-asses location of pain and the number of subjective components
-draws/colors areas corresponding to nature & location of pain
-could complete daily

29
Q

explain numeric pain scales

A

-used before & after intervention
-other associated questions
-helps clinician assess changes in pain, appropriate intervention, and communicate clearly about recovery

30
Q

explain McGill pain questionnaire

A

-78 words that describe pain (group into 20 sets & 4 categories describing pain)
-takes 20 minutes
-commonly used for those with lower back pain
-effectively shows change when administered every 2-4 weeks

31
Q

When doing pain management strategies explain how to encourage activities that influence the perception of pain?

A

motivation techniques
relaxation techniques
meditation
diaphragmatic breathing

32
Q

when using pain management strategies how can you give a patient extension education?

A

-explain what the patient should expect during recovery process
-discuss the signs of inflammation, dysfunction, & atrophy
-encourage gentle progression of activity to;
(Improve blood flow to tissue, promote nutrition of tissues, reduce stiffness and guarding)

33
Q

how can you validate a patients pain?

A

-throw judgement out the window
-all pain is very real to patient, even if it begins as psychosomatic

34
Q

how can you use the patients response as an intervention to guide treatment sessions?

A

-constantly reassess patient’s response to intervention
(establish baseline, inquire during activity about symptoms, re-assess pain level post activity)

35
Q

what are the 5 pain management strategies?

A
  1. encourage activités that influence the perception of pain
  2. give patient extension education
  3. validate patients pain
  4. incorporate pain modulating modalities where appropriate
  5. use patient response to intervention to guide treatment
