Intro to Therapeutic Interventions midterm

What is released from injured mast cells, causes vasodilation and increased cell permeability?

Histamine

Bone and soft tissue will respond to the physical demands placed on them, causing them to remodel or realign along lines of tensile force.

Wolff’s Law

Factors that impede healing

Swelling, poor vascular supply, muscle spasm, atrophy, keloids & scars, infection, humidity, climate, health, age, nutrition

Nutrient that delivers oxygen to tissues and other important nutrients

Water

Poor blood supply, takes longer to heal

Cartilage

4-6 weeks to heal

Tendon

6-8 weeks to heal

Bone

3-4mm per day if it will regenerate at all

Nerves

Order of bone healing process

Inflammation/hematoma, soft callus formation, hard callus formation, bone remodeling

When is a stress fracture visible on x ray

2-4 weeks

Pain is

Subjective

3 stimuli nociceptors (pain receptors) are sensitive to

Mechanical, chemical, and thermal

Scale that sometimes uses faces as indications of pain

Wong-Baker

Conduction

When two objects of uneven temperatures come into contact. Heat transferred from higher to lower temperatures.

Physiological benefits of heat

Increase of blood flow, decrease pain perception, increased collagen elasticity, decreases joint stiffness

How deep does superficial heat penetrate?

1 cm

Max warm whirlpool temp

104

Hydrocollator temp

160-170

Tissue cools to what temp

33-50

Skin discoloration due to abnormal spasm of the blood vessels causing a diminished blood supply

Raynaud’s

Allergic reaction to cold

Urticaria

Phases of cold

Cold, burning, aching, numbness

Combination of cold application and exercise

Cryokinetics

Pain occurs at a certain point in the ROM of a joint

Painful arc

Joint ROM progression order in rehab

Passive ROM, Active assisted ROM, Active ROM, and Resisted ROM

Shoulder flexion ROM

180

Elbow flexion ROM

145

When a contraction of the agonist muscle causes a reflex relaxation of the antagonist muscle. Essentially preventing opposing muscles from working against each other.

Reciprocal inhibition

Tissue’s ability to stretch and return back to normal length

Elasticity

Responds to change in muscle length

Muscle spindle

Bouncing technique

Ballistic stretching

PNF

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation

Stretching progression in rehab

Passive, home, PNF, dynamic

Conscious and unconscious recognition of joint position in space

Proprioception

Provides feedback regarding the position of the head using the ears

Vestibular system

What does BESS stand for?

Balance Error Scoring System

Muscle produces force without a change in length

Isometric

Overload principle increases 3 variables

Intensity, volume, frequency

Digital segment is fixed or constrained

Closed kinetic chain

The body adapts specifically to the demands placed upon it

SAID principle

Alternative method for 1RM

6RM or 10RM

Reductions in training or periods of inactivity can result inloss of cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness

Detrain

3 joints

Lumbat vertebral joints, sacroiliac joints, scapulothoracic junction

Two parts that can be injured in a strain

Muscle & tendon

Holds bone to bone

Ligaments
