Question | Answer |
---|---|
Types of Tissue | Epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous |
Acute injury | single forceful event |
repetitive injury/chronic injury | overtime, repetitive, low force events |
cumulative load theory | tissues breakdown with repeated or prolonged use |
multivariate interaction theory | interactions b/w genetic, morphological, psychological, and biomechanical factors |
Abrasions | superficial layer |
incisions | wounds with smooth even edge |
lacerations | irregular tears of the skin |
avulsion | seperation of skin |
punctures | deep object penetration |
Contusions | Bruises. 1st degree: superficial 2nd degree: pain and hemmoraging,increased are and depth and mild to moderate functional limitations 3rd degree: severe |
Strains | Musculotendinous structure: 1: microdamage 2: partial tear 3: complete disruption |
Sprains | ligamentous injuries: 1: microdamage 2: partial tear 3: complete disruption or rupture of tissue |
Fractures | Simple or Compound (clean or protruding breaks) |
Greenstick | children |
Transverse Fracture | transverse plane |
Oblique fracture | angled fracture |
Spiral Fracture | fracture has broken and shifted |
comminuted Fracture | multiple fragments |
Avulsion Fracture | Bone being pulled away by tendon |
Impacted Fracture | Bone is impacted |
Depressed fracture | fracture of flat bones (Skull) |
Epiphysial fracture | Growth plate fracture. |
Neuropraxia | transient and reversible loss of nerve function from trauma |
axonotmesis | partial disruption of a nerve. 2 to 52 weeks |
Neurotmesis | complete severance of a nerve |
Blisters | repeated shearing or friction |
tendonopathies | repetitive overload of connective tissue |
tendinosis | degeneration of the tendon |
tenosynovitis | inflamation of tendon sheeth |
Neuralglia or neuroma | chronic irritation of nerve (discomfort) (nerve thickening |
Soft Tissue Healing: Phase 1: Inflammatory Response | Loss of function, lasts up to 7 days: immune response-proteins to ECM, Mast Cells, Macrophages. |
Fibronectin and fibrin | granulated tissue (Scar tissue) |
Rehab for Phase 1: inflammatory response | PRICE |
PRICE | Protection, rest, ice, compression, elevation |
Phase 2: Repair and regeneration (Proliferation) | Bone, muscle, peripheral nerve, blood vessels, etc, regenerate. Day 4-10 or Day 7-21. |
Phase 2: ligaments and tendons | fibrin clots, capilary proliferation, fibronectins produce type III collagen |
Phase 2: Treatment | Early controlled mobilization: elongation and causing collogen fibers to become parallel |
Phase 3: Remodeling/Maturation | up to 24 months: type I and III collagen produced. Gradual progression of increased load |
Fracture Managmenet | Varies by fixation, involved bone, and mechanical loads of surrounding soft tissue |
Open reduction internal fixation | surgical intervention. rehab can occur within 1st week after surger |
Non-surgical fixation | ROM exercises limited for 1st-3rd week. 6-8 weeks can begin to strengthen |
Delayed and nonunion fractures | affected by: nutrition, diabetes, smoking, drugs, occlusion |
Wallerian degeneration | axons distal to injury produce pro-inflammatory proteins that promote inflammatory response |
