severe direct trauma or falls
phantom limb pain described as by pt
coolness, heaviness, cramping, shooting, burning, or crushing pain
compartment syndrome
elevated intracompartmental pressure within a confined myofascial comparment copromises the neurovascular function of tissues within that space

causes capillary perfusion to vbe reduced below a level necessary for tiessue viability

importance of exercise with OA, OP
OA: increases strength of muscles which will help with improved ROM and fxn

OP: wt baring exercises help with bone strength and bone mass
