Q

Stress/ Strain Curve details?

A

Elasticity = ability for tissue to return to shape after deformation

Yield Point = elastic limit of tissue - permanent changes occur

Q

2 Forms of Tissue Failure?

A

Load to Failure = Rupture/ # –> continuous force until break

Fatigue Failure = Subthreshold load repetition results in fatigue -> plastic region. No acute force - Chronic - Stress #.

Q

Grading of Strains?

A

1 = some stretch/ tear. tender/ pain w/ active mvm, Full ROM

2 = more fibers stretched/ torn. Pain w/ active mvm. Swell, ecchymosis, decreased ROM

3 = complete rupture, significant decrease mvm, intense pain but then decreases. 6-8 weeks

Q

Spasm

A

involuntary contraction causes increased tension/ shortening of msc that interferes w/ voluntary mvm.

Q

3 forms of Tendinopathy?

A

Progression from 1-3
2 and 3 have same treatment
1) Tendonitis = inflamed tendon - swell, pain, tender, warm, crepitus

2) Tendonosis = tendon breakdown w/ out inflammation.
Degeneration b/c of overuse

3) Tenosynovitis = inflammation of tendon/ synovial sheath (crepitus + increased friction against bone)

21
Q

What type of injury is a Tendonopathy? Describe why.

A

Overuse injury

Tendons need 2-3 days to recover
- Mechanical loading causes collagen synthesis and degradation.
- Repetitive loading (w/in 1first 24 hrs) causes more degradation than synthesis

Synthesis lasts longer than degradation so you get a net synthesis (rebuild) unless overuse –> THERE IS A GRAPH for PROTEIN SYNTHESIS

22
Q

Treatment of Tendonopathy

A

Don’t do nothing or just push through

Load management is essential

Pain should be at 3/10 during activity

Start w/ isometrics –> then eccentric –> progress to concentric –> then compressive (add load) –> then plyometric loading –> then plyometric w/ compression

Always consider the causes on injuries and determine if change is needed

23
Q

Stress Shielding Theory?

A

Believes Eccentric mvm is best for tendon rehab

Mscs function as shock absorbers during eccentric contractions
–> Therefore, reduced absorption/ load on tendon

24
Q

Myofascial Trigger Points?

A
  • Hyper sensitive points within msc or fascia
  • Often in posture mscs
  • acute or repeated micro trauma

Latent TP = pain only w/ direct pressure (may limit ROM/ cause weakness)

Active TP = pain at rest (pressure causes jump sign). Referred pain

25
Q

Myofascial Trigger Points?

A

Massage
TP release
Stretch
Correct msc imbalance

26
Q

contusion rehab?

A

= a bruise
ecchymosis = change in skin color
Light stretching (decreases myositis ossficans = calcium deposits in msc)

No deep tissue massage

27
Q

Synovial Joint Characteristics/ Components?

A
  • Acrticular (hyaline) cartilage lines bones
  • Joint capsule (inner surface = synovial membrane - high vascularized, produce synovial fluid - lube, absorb, nutrition)
    Ligaments (main structure for joints) - can be part of capsule or separate
28
Q

What is a sprain and grading?

A

Tensile injury to Ligs.
when stress causes a joint to move beyond normal ROM

G1 = some stretch/ separation of fibers, minimal instability, mild pain, localized swell, stiff

G2 = Tear/ separate fibers, moderate instable/ pain/ swell/ stiff.

G3 = Total tear, Instable. Severe pain then decreases, swell and stiff.

29
Q

S&S for Sprain?

A

Joint Effusion (blood/ synovial fluid)
Heat
Ecchymosis
Tenderness on palpation
Swellin starts gradually (low BS)
Immediate pain (lots of nerves)
More pain w/ passive mvms

30
Q

Healing abilities and rehab for sprains?

A
  • Ligs. heal poorly (low blood supply)
  • Rehab relies on strengthening/ training surrounding structures (mscs/ tendons).
  • Can’t train a lig.
31
Q

Dislocation?

A

Bone forced out of joint and stays out

  • deformity/ asymmetry
  • Relocatiing not in our scope
  • splint in current condition
  • send to hospital
32
Q

Subluxation?

A

Bone forced out and back into joint
- pain and instability
- stretched/ torn ligs., nerves, mscs, joint capsule

33
Q

Osteoarthritis?

A

Chronic
- degeneration of articular cartilage = changes in subchondral bone due to micro trauma
- Usually in weight-bearing joints
- S&S = stiff, swell, pain
- Previous trauma increases risk
- Cartilage doesn’t have blood supply = low healing
- No cure

34
Q

Bursitis?

A

acute or chronic inflammation of bursa
Bursa = synovila fluid sack to decrease friction

Irritation results in increased fluid production causing pressure and pain

35
Q

Bone Characteristics?

A

Support, protect, mvm, calcium storage, produce RBCs

Compact bone (outer core w/ blood/ lymphatic vessels + nerves)

Cancellous bone (porous, epiphysis)

Metaphysis = growth plate (cartilage - weaker)

Osteoclasts break down

Osteoblasts build new

Peak mass in 20s

36
Q

2 Broad categories of Bone fractures(#)?

A

Simple/ closed = # under skin

Compound/ open = # through skin

37
Q

Greenstick #

A

in not fully ossified bone (kids)

38
Q

Linear #

A

in straight line parallel to shaft

39
Q

Transverse #

A

perpendicular to shaft

40
Q

Oblique #

A

Angled # (torsion/ bending)

41
Q

Spiral #

42
Q

Impacted #

A

Compression of bone causes Telescoping

43
Q

Avulsion #

A

Bone fragment attached to tendon or ligament

44
Q

Comminuted #

A

3 or more # sites

45
Q

Stress # causes?

A

Chronic
- msc overload on bone
- Improper distribution of stress by bone
- Repetitive stress
- Change in surfaces or foot wear (grass to floor)
- overtraining
- start training too fast
- R2P too soon
- Genetics

Bone absorption occurs faster than reformation

46
Q

Stress # S&S?

A

Early Stage
- localized tender/ pain

Late Stage
- Pain w/ activity, constant pain, night pain, percussion test

47
Q

Shin splints vs stress #?

A

Shin Splints = Medial Tibial Stress syndrome
- msc pulling away from bone

48
Q

Osteochondrosis?

A

Chronic conditions in teens

  • Degradation of bone ossification centres during rapid growth
  • Unknown cause (maybe avascular necrosis)
49
Q

Nerve Injuries?

A

Acute or Chronic
- Change in sensation (hypoesthesia or hyperesthesia)
- Numb or tingling
- Sharp or burning pain
- Regeneration is slow (3-4 mm/ day)

50
Q

Neuropraxia?

A

Mild blunt force temporarily stops nerve conduction (funny bone)

51
Q

Neuritis

A

Inflammation of the n. (sciatica)
