Ligaments
Supporting structures of joints
Fractures
Confimed through use of radiographs
Shoulder strain
Often involves the rotator cuff muscles
Cervical strain
Often accompanies whiplash injuries
Isometric
Muscle contraction w no visible joint movement
Isotonic
Muscle contraction using constant resistance
Concentric
Muscle contraction where muscle shortens
Eccentric
Muscle contraction where muscle lengthens
TJA
Surgical replacement of joint
AKA
Surgical removal of a portion of leg
Prosthesis
Artificial replacement of missing limb
Plastic & stainless steel
Major components used in joint replacement
Proprioception
Patient's awareness of position & movement
Sprain
Injury to a ligament
Strain
Injury to a muscle
Best describes good manual muscle testing grade
pt holds test position against moderate resistance, good
Signs & symptoms of inflammation
Redness, swelling, pain, loss of function, warmth (not swelling & pain occuring after 48-72 hours)
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Median nerve compression/Phalen's test
Tendinitis
Chronic inflammatory disorder of a tendon
Bursitis
Inflammation of fluid filled sac
Subacromial bursa
Often irritated w overhead throwing activities
During acute phase of inflammation, intervention should be?
Rest, elevation, compression, cryotherapy
Bradykinesia
Slowness of movement
Rigidity
Resistance to movement caused by tone
Tremor
Alternating contractions
Akinesia
Poverty of movement
Dopamine
Neurotransmittor lacking in Parkinson's pts
Stroke
Type & severity depends on area of brain involved, 30% of stroke pts die in first month, 30-40% have severe disability, majority of recovery occurs within 6 months but may take up to 2 years, strokes opposite side will have partial or complete paralysis
SCI
Most affected age group is 15-25, quadriplegics have all of their extremities affected, Initial management includes immobilization & medications to enhance repair, during healing phase all extremities should NOT be maintained in a stationary position
MRI diagnostic test
Computer images produced by placing the body in a magnetic field
PNF
Rehab technique utilizing tactile, visual, auditory, joint, plane of movement & muscle stimulii developed by Dr. Kabat
CVA
Disruption of blood flow to the brain
TBI
Most often caused by MVA's, falls & violence
SCI
Most often caused by gunshots, diving, football
MS
Demyelination of nerves
ALS
Degeneration of motor cell bodies
Between ages 15-45
When MS typically manifests itself
Common symptoms of MS
Visual disturbances, tingling, weakness
Benign
Disease goes into remission
Exacerbating-remission
pt worsens & then improves
Remitting-progressive
Each occurrence causes increase in problems
Vestibular system
1~Consists of central & peripheral apparatus 2~allows us to maintain orientation in space posture & balance 3~Helps detect head position & movement (Most common symptom of vestibular disorders is NOT orthostatic hyportention)
Receptive & expressive aphasia
Following a SCI, which of the following terms would best describe a pt w isolated weakness in both legs?
Paraparesis
Muscle responsible for normal inspiration?
Diaphragm & external intercostals
Obstructive pulmonary disease example(s)
Chronic bronchitis, emphysema, asthma
Restrictive pulmonary disease example(s)
Cancer of the lung
Correct order of conduction of electrical impulses
SA node, AV node, bundle of HIS, Purkinje fibers
Boyles Law states as the volume of the thoracic cavity increases, the pressure in the lungs
Decreases
Boyles Law states, as one variable increases & the other variable decreases is an example of a ___ relationship
Inverse
Heart attack
Myocardial infarction
Clot
embolus
COPD
Lung disease classification of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Ischemia
Condition of insuficient blood flow & inadequate oxygenation to tissue
Training zone for a person w cardiac disease & sedentary lifestyle
Best determined by symptoms & ECG
Echocardiography
Cardiovascular test/procedure that is described best as the use of high frequency ultrasound to access the size of the heart chambers, the thickness of the chamber walls & motion of walls & valves
Typical signs/symptoms of obstructive pulmonary conditions
Trapping of air, alveolar destruction, hypoxemia (NOT trauma to nerve supply to muscles of ventilation)
Correct order of blood flow starting w the inferior & superior vena cava
Right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle, pulmonary artery, lungs, pulmonary vein, left atrium, mitral value, left ventricle, aorta
Step 4
Stage of cardiac rehab where pt would be expected to begin walking to the bathroom, ROM, walking @ an avg pace & teach pulse counting
