VI.Done Etiology Of The Subluxation Syndrome Flashcards
What types of trauma can cause a subluxation syndrome?
Macro — singular incident
Micro — occupational or recreational injury
Sudden uncoordinated movement — segmental strain, fibrosis of repair
RSI
Repetitive strain injury
Developmental, congenital, occupational and recreational injuries are examples of
Static overstrain (postural dysfunction) that could cause subluxation syndrome
What are the stages of healing?
Inflammatory 2-4 days
Reparative 6-8 weeks
Remodeling months to years
What are reasons why joints may be immobilized?
Soft tissue effects, cartilage effects, deconditioning syndrome
Deconditioning syndrome is a persistent pain syndrome may lead to muscular disuse including
Weakness
Uncoordination
Atrophy
Loss of flexibility
What affect does stress, emotional tension and anxiety have on subluxation syndrome?
Can trigger sustained muscle contraction and pain
myofascial pain cycle and joint dysfunction can be triggered by exposure to various _______.
extrinsic environmental stressors
Organic diseases can lead to secondary subluxation syndrome. What are some of these diseases?
- Degenerative joint disease
- Degenerative disc disease
- Joint infection
- Metabolic disorders
- Inflammatory/autoimmune disorders
- Neurobiologic mechanism
How can diet affect a subluxation syndrome?
Deficiency in nutritional substances can affect the integrity of connective tissues.
How can aging affect a subluxation syndrome?
- Increased tissue fibrosis
- Decreased elasticity and mobility
- Decreased powers of recovery
How does our evolution as a species affect subluxation syndrome?
Progression from quadruped to biped
How does our cultural evolution effect subluxation syndrome?
Progression from hunter/gatherer to agrarian to industrial society
