Worksheet Vocabulary Flashcards
Osgood Schlatter’s Disease
“Overuse injury”
disease commonly seen in adolescents
due to excessive stress, esp. from jumping + bending, applied by patellar tendon to tibial tuberosity
THUS pain + swelling @ tibial tuberosity b/c quad muscle puling against patellar tendon
Equinos Deformity
condition of limited ROM in ankle jt, specifically in upward bending motion of top of foot twds leg’s front
compensation {picking up heel early; flat footed} => dvlpmt of foot/leg/back probs
WB vs. NWB
WB = weight bearing NWB = non-weight bearing
battle sign
“via head trauma => bruising over mastoid process”
marking behind ears
pooled blood behind ears
= sig. internal injury to brain
- petrous temporal bone fracture
- middle cranial fossa fracture
**also may not even be prominent with skull fracture
avulsion fracture
small portion of bone attached to tendon/ligament is pulled away from main part of bone
- *most common = hip, elbow and ankle
- *tx = rest, ice, ROM & muscle strengthening exercises
female athlete triad
medical condition observed in physically active females
involves 3 components:
- Menstrual dysfunction
- low bone density
- low energy availability w/ or w/o disordered eating
compartment syndrome
chronic vs. acute?
painful condition
due to increased pressure w/in fascial compartment (connective tissue) that surrounds muscle => build up
this impairs local circulation, thus decreasing blood flow => prevents O2 to nerve + muscle cells
**acute = medical emergency caused by severe injury & may lead to permanent muscle damage if left untreated!
**chronic = not med emergency; usu. athletic exertion
amenorrhea
absence of menstruation, usu. for 3 mo. in a row
flash-to-bang
time from lightening seen to thunder heard
ex: 5 sec = lightening is 1 mi away
ex: 15 sec = lightening is 3 mi away
TID
3x a day
halo sign
wet area containing yellow ring surrounding red center ring
- red = blood
- yellow = CSF
wolff’s law
bones will adapt to load placed on it
rhabdomyolysis
breakdown of damaged/injured skeletal muscle tissue => releases myoglobin into bloodstream
TOO MUCH myoglobin in bloodstream => kidney damage
epistaxis
aka nosebleed
either spontaneous or induced acute hemorrhage from nostril, nasal cavity, or nasopharynx
AAROM
active assisted ROM
thus using ext. force w/ AROM
commotio cordis
“agitation of heart”
lethal disruption of heart rhythm occurring b/c of blow to area directly over heart (precordial region) @ critical time during cycle of heart (upstroke of T wave) => “R-on-T” phenomenon that leads to condition => ventricular fibrillation
second impact syndrome
usu. fatal
rapid brain swelling immediately after 2nd concussion, BUT BEFORE absence of symptoms from an earlier concussion
lift-off sign
(+) test = SA unable to move hand away from back, along with pain
indicates rupture of sub-scapularis tendon
scapulo-humeral rhythm
ratio of GH joint mvmt to scapulothoracic mvmt during arm elevation
thus interaction between scapula and humerus = crucial for optimum shoulder function
SAID principle
“specific adaptations to imposed demands”
human body adapts to demands imposed on it, thus given stressors on the human system, whether biomechanical or neurological, there will be a Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands
spondylosis
pathology applied nonspecifically to any degenerative conditions affecting disks, vertebral bodies, and joints of lumbar spine (lumbar spine is most often affected)
more of descriptive term rather than a clinical diagnosis
spondylolysis
unilateral or bilateral bony defect in pars interarticularis or isthmus of
vertebra
mostly in L5 due to repeated hyperextension
stress fracture due to repetitive load and stress (verus being cause by a single event)
can lead to slippage if left untreated
spondylolisthesis
Vertebral slippage, leading to mechanical or readicaulr symptoms or pain
can occur in two directions (anterior and backwards translation) = anterolisthesis or retrolisthesis
Use Meyerding Classification for degree of slippage
Causes = congenital, acquired, or idiopathic (commonly preceeded by spondylolysis)
STM
soft tissue mobilization
