What is a syndrome?
Group of signs and symptoms that indicate an injury or disease.
What is pathology?
Structural and functional changes from injury.
What is etiology?
Caused of a disease
What is mechanism?
Mechanical description of cause
What is a sign?
Something that you see (Objective)
What is a symptom?
Something that a person is feeling (Subjective)
What is a diagnosis?
Specific condition
What is differential diagnosis?
two or more conditions that share similar signs and symptoms
What is working diagnosis?
A disease that hasn’t been ruled out
POLICE
Protection, optimal loading, ice compression & elevation
What is force?
A push or a pull
Signs of inflammation
- Pain
- Redness
- Swelling
- Heat
- Loss of function/ROM
Signs of infection
- Redness
- Swelling
- Heat
- Tenderness
- Abnormal or purulent discharge
3 types of muscles found in the body
Skeletal, cardia & smooth muscle
Skeletal muscle
Attached to bones to create movement
Cardiac muscle
Found in the heart
Smooth muscle
Found in hollow organs such as the stomach, intestines & blood vessels
Tendons connect
Muscle to bone
Ligaments connect
Bone to bone
What is elastic response?
It returns to original shape
What is plastic response?
Deformation remains
What is axial force?
Acts on the long axis of a structure
What is tension?
Force in opposite direction; Pulling or strecthing the tissues.
What is compression?
Produces a crushing or squeezing type force
What is shear?
It’s a parallel force; that causes sliding or displacement
What is bending?
Compression and tension
What is torsion?
Twisitng force
What is acute injury?
- It happens suddenly
- Macrotrauma
What is chronic injury?
- Results from repeated loading
- Microtrauma
What are avulsions? (SKIN INJURY)
A partial tearing away from the skin
What are blisters?
Accumulation of fluid between dermis & epidermis
What are contusions?
Bruises
What is a strain?
Stretched or tear of a muscle or tendon
What is a 1st degree strain?
Mild & stretch of muscle or tendon
What is 2nd degree strain?
MODERATE & PARTIAL TEARING of a muscle or tendon
What is 3rd degree strain?
SEVERE & FULL TEAR of a muscle or tendon
What is a sprain?
Keyword for sprains?
Stretch or tear of a ligament
Laxity
What is a 1st degree sprain?
MILD & STRETCHING of a ligament
What is 2nd degree sprain?
MODERATE & PARTIAL TEARING of a ligament
What is 3rd degree sprain?
SEVERE & RUPTURE of a ligament
What is synovitis?
Inflammation to the synovial lining
What is bursitis?
Inflammation of a bursa sac
What is myositis?
Inflammation of the muscle tissue
What is tendonitis?
Inflamation of the tendon
What is fascitis?
Inflammation of the fascial tissue
What is neuritis?
Inflammation of the nerve
Time for bone healing?
6-8 weeks
Stage 1 for bone fracture healing
How long does it take?
Acute Inflammatory Phase
Injury – 4 days
Stage 2 for bone fracture healing
How long does it take?
Repair
4 days – 3 months
Stage 3 for bone fracture healing
How long does it take?
Remodeling/Maturation
3 months – Several years
Avulsion Fracture
Bone is pulled away by tendon or ligament
Stress Fractures
- Athlete complains of a persistent sore spot over the bone.
- Often night pain
Spiral Fracture
Torsional force along the length of a bone
Longitudinal Fracture
Fracture runs length of a bone
Compression Fracture
Opposing forces applied to a bone from both ends at the same time. (Occurs at the spine)
Oblique Fracture
Diagonal line across a bone from one side to another.
Comminuted Fracture
Bone is crushed into smaller pieces
Greenstick fracture
Bone bends and fractures only part way through
Transverse Fracture
Fracture travels across and perpendicular to a bone.
Epiphyseal Fracture
Fracture at the epiphyseal plate
Depressed Fracture
Direct impact to the skull
Blowout Fracture
Eye is pushed hard backward and down into the eye socket. Small bones under the eyes get crushed.
Dislocation
2 bones creating a joint no longer articulate
Subluxation
Bones slide out of joint part away & come back in on their own
What are the tissue healing phases?
- Inflammatory Response
- Fibroblastic Repair
- Maturation-Remodeling
What happens in inflammatory response?
What is the goal?
- Cells start to die
- Vasoliditation
- New capillaries form
- Type III collagen formation
Prepare the body for healing
Important chemicals in inflammatory response?
Phagocytes/Marchophages
Leukocytes
Histamine
Platelets
Time for the inflmmatory phase?
Injury - 4 days
What happens in fibroblastic repair?
What is the goal?
Debris removal via phagocytes
Scar formation
Decrease in capillaries
Absorption of type III collagen
Develop new tissues
Repair the injured site
Important chemicals in fibroblastic repair?
Fibroblasts
Chondroblasts
Osteoblasts
Time for the fibroblastic repair?
4 days – 3 weeks
Goal of maturation phase?
Return to normal tissue, strength and function
What happens in maturation phase?
Re-absorption of new chemicals
Scar maturation
Production of Type 1 collagen
Time for maturation phase?
3 weeks – 2 years
