Mechanisms and Characteristic of Nerve Trauma

Subluxation

________ is like a dislocation except that a bone comes partially out of its normal articulation then goes right back into place.

Crepitus

________- a crackling feel or sound that occurs by tendons tendency to stick to the surrounding structure while it slides back and forth.

Bursitis

________: inflammation of bursae (pieces of synovial membrane that contain a small amount of fluid) at sites of bony prominences between muscle and tendon.

Ecchymosis

________- bluish- purple discoloration of the skin.

Compression

________ of soft tissue that results in bleeding into surrounding tissue.

Tendinosis

________- breakdown of a tendon without inflammation (degeneration)

Acute

________ onset muscle soreness- fatigue, occurs immediately after exercise.

musculotendinous junction

Because a tendon is usually double the strength of the muscle it serves, tears commonly occur at the muscle belly, ________ or bony attachment.

Tension

________- pulls or stretches tissue.

Heat cramps

________ is related to excessive loss of water and some extent several electrolytes or ions that are essential elements in muscle contraction.

Tenosynovitis

________- inflammation of a tendon and its synovial sheath (thin layer of tissue)

Clonic

________- involuntary muscle contraction characterized by alternate contraction and relaxation in rapid succession.

planes of movement

Occur when stress is applied to a joint that forces motion beyond its normal limits or ________.

Sprain

Grade 3 ________- total tear of ligament which leads to instability of joint.

Injuries

________ are either caused by trauma or overuse.

Dislocation

________ occurs when at least one bone in a joint is forced completely out of its normal alignment.

Tendinitis

________- inflammation of the tendon.

Ligaments

________ connect bone to bone.

Physical injury

________ or wound that is produced by an external or internal force.

mechanical injury

When a force applied to any part of the body results in a harmful disturbance in function and /or structure- a(n) ________ occurs.

Compression

________- shortens and widens tissue.

Ligaments

________ are composed of dense connective tissue arranged in parallel bundles of collagen composed of rows of fibroblasts.
