Tendon Healing
part 1 |
Large amounts of collagen are required for adequate healing
However, collagen synthesis can become excessive resulting in fibrosis and interfering with tendon sliding action |
|
|
Tendon Healing
part 2 |
Scar tissue will gradually elongate allowing for appropriate tendon motion
Typical tendon healing may require 4-5 weeks before strong contractions can be imparted on tendon |
|
|
Additional Musculoskeletal Injuries
Dislocations and Subluxations |
Dislocations present with total disunion of bone apposition between articular surfaces- requiring manual or surgical realignment
Reduction should not occur without and X-ray (necessary to rule out fractures)? |
|
|
Bursitis
|
1. Result of excessive movement or trauma to bursa
2. Causes irritation, inflammation and increased synovial fluid production -May continue to become inflamed with repeat irritation with increasingly more pain --Commonly impacted bursa Pre-patellar Olecranon Subacromial |
|
|
Muscle Soreness
|
Overexertion in strenuous exercise resulting in muscular pain
1. Acute-onset muscle soreness 2. Delayed onset muscle soreness |
|
|
1. Acute-onset muscle soreness
|
accompanies fatigue muscle pain experienced immediately after exercise
|
|
|
2. Delayed onset muscle soreness
|
Pain occurs 24-48 hours following activity that gradually subsides
caused by slight microtrauma to muscle or connective tissue structure |
|
|
Contusions
|
Can be both deep and superficial
Hematoma results from blood and lymph flow into surrounding tissue -Speed of healing dependent on the extent of damage |
|
|
Treatment of soft tissue Injuries
Heat |
Use of heat
-increases circulation -reduces pain due to tight muscles -promotes muscle relaxation -used in later stages of recovery once chance for swelling his/her dimished |
|
|
Treatment of soft tissue Injuries
Cold |
1. Decreases swelling
2. reduces inflammation reduces pain due to swelling 3. can trigger muscle activity |
