Compressive force that causes bleeding under the skin
Skin Bruise
Wound with irregularly torn skin

Skin is torn away
Skin Avulsion
Wound with sharply cut skin
Incision
Penetration by a sharp object
Puncture
Possess characteristics of irritability, contractility, conductivity and elasticity
Skeletal Muscle Injuries
Result from sudden direct blow to the body
Can be deep or superficial
Results in hematoma (blood tumor) as blood and lymph escape into tissue spaces
Can also bruise underlying structures (i.e. bone)
Rated by the extent to which ROM is restricted
Contusion
Athlete struck by hard object
Athlete reports immediate/severe pain and transitory paralysis
Palpation reveals hardened area (hematoma)
Immediate swelling & possible ecchymosis
Signs and Symptoms of Contusion
Stretch, tear or rip of contractile tissue
Strain

Fibers straighten during loading and return to shape after loading
Tendon
Yeild point of Tendon
6 to 8 percent
Involuntary reflex caused by trauma (protective mechanism)
Muscle Spasms
quick alternating successions of contraction and relaxation
Clonic Muscle Spasms
rigid contraction that lasts for a period of time.
Tonic Muscle Spasms
Over exertion during exercise resulting in muscle pain
Muscle Soreness
onset muscle soreness – accompanies fatigue and results in immediate soreness
Acute Muscle Soreness
onset muscle soreness – pain that occurs 24-48 hours after activity and may last 3-4 days (possibly due to muscle microtrauma)
Delayed Muscle Soreness
How to care for a prevent muscle soreness
Preventable though gradual build up in activity
Treat with stretching and ice application
Not painful
Results from extended work periods causes fluid accumulation in the muscle that reabsorbs slowly, causing the muscles to be swollen, thicken, and resistant to stretch
Light activity, passive motion, and massage can help
Muscle Stiffness
Painful involuntary muscle contraction.
May result when muscles are held in shortened position for a period of time.
May also be related to fatigue and dehydration.
Common at night and at rest.
Muscle Cramps
Following injury, muscles may contract to limit joint ROM and minimize pain.
Involuntary splinting response that is difficult to overcome.
Muscle Guarding
Discrete, hypersensitive nodule within a tight band of muscle or fascia.
Myofascial Trigger Points
Doesn’t cause spontaneous pain
May restrict motion
May become aware when pressure is applied
Latent Trigger Point
Causes pain at rest
Applying pressure = greater pain
Found commonly in postural muscles
Active Trigger Point
Progress over period of time
Repetitive microtrauma can cause condition
Could be related to poor mechanics/biomechanics
Could result from improperly managed acute injury
Chronic Musculoskeletal Injuries
Consist of cartilage and fibrous connective tissue
Synovial Joints
immovable joints (suture of skull)
Synarthrotic
slightly movable joints (carpal bones of the wrist)
Amphiarthrotic
freely movavle joints (hip, shoulder, etc.)
Diarthrotic
Inflammation of muscle tissue or connective tissue
Myositis/fascitis
Inflammation of tendon
Gradual onset, diffuse tenderness and gradual degeneration
May have swelling and pain
Tendonitis
Inflammation of the synovial sheath
Can be acute
Swelling, tenderness, crepitus
Tenosynovitis
Muscle become chronically inflamed and develops myositis
Osteoid (bone forming) material can accumulate rapidly
Will either resolve or mature into actual bone formation in 9-12 months
Common in quadriceps, biceps and deltoid following repeated trauma
Ectopic Calcification (myositis ossificans)
wasting away of muscle due to immobilization, disuse, or nerve malfunctioning
Atrophy
Bones held together by a fibrous cuff
Made of bundles of collagen
Fairly strong, can withstand some cross-sectional forces
May be slack or taut depending on joint position
Joint capsule
Sheets or bundles of collagen that form connection between two bones
Can exist inside (intrinsic) or outside (extrinsic) the joint capsule
Strongest in the middle, weakest at ends
When stressed, they can tear or avulse at attachment points
Constant stress will weaken, while intermittent stress will strengthen
Act as protective backup for joints
Primary protection is from dynamic muscle action
Will adapt based on Roux’s law of functional adaptation (organ will adapt structurally to an alteration, qualitative or quantitative to function)
