Week 1 Treatment Goals Flashcards
T or F, scar tissue is elastic
F it is Inelastic
Hypertrophic scar vs Keloid scar
A hypertrophic is raised within the boundaries of the injured site
A keloid scar extends beyond the boundary of the injured site
How can you limit Collagen synthesis at an injury site (to prevent scar tissue)
Applies prolonged pressure which limits O2 available
(scar tissue requires O2 to form)
Apply pressure garmets
When is it appropriate to apply compression to prevent scar tissue formation
Any time the scar tissue is still reddened but blanches with tension
How does chronic inflammation occur
Either due to immune response or due to repeated stress/trauma
Chronic low grade inflammation increases production of __________ and degradation of __________
immature collagen
normal mature collagen
Intrinstic vs Extrinsic healing factors
Identify the following:
Age
Education
Medical Complications
Home environment
Work Environment
Intrinsic- Age, Education, Medical Complications
Extrinsic - Home and Work environment

24-48 hours
When is cryotherapy appriopriate on an acute injury?
first 24-48 hours, reduce pain and swelling
combine with compression
How can e-stim help an acute injury
Reduce pain and swelling
alter cell permeabiliy
When massaging a muscle during the acute stage, what position should it be in?
Shortened
lengthened
Stretched
Shortened so as not to separate the healing area
