stretching
_______ connects bone to bone
ligaments
What is the mechanism of injury of ligament injuries?
tension
stretching
_________ connects muscle to bone
tendons
What is the mechanism of injury of tendon injuries
tension
stretching
Injury to this body part defined as a disruption to the continuity of the bone
bone injuries
Are fractures, breaks, avulsions and dislocations acute or chronic bone injuries?
acute
Are stress fractures acute or chronic bone injuries?
chronic
Shaft or long aspect of the bone is the?
diaphysis
Ends of the bone are the?
epiphysis
Where do bone growth occur?
epiphysieal plates
This type of bone injury is not typically seen on a traditional xray until healing has occured, requires a bone scan, and is a result of imbalance of osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity
stress fractures
This type of soft tissue injury is a result of continuouis force in several directions resulting in friction. It creates a pocket of fluid between the layers of skin.
blisters
This type of soft tissue injury is a result of scraped skin. The force is often in one direction.
abrasions
This type of soft tissue injury is a result of compression injury resulting in damage to the underlying tissue.
bruises
This type of soft tissue is a result of clean cut with a sharp edge
incision
This type of soft tissue injury is a result of irregular cut or tear to the skin
laceration
This type of soft tissue injury is a result of severe laceration resulting in complete separation of skin or tissue.
avulsion
This type of soft tissue injury is a result of penetration of the skin
puncture
What are the 5 cardinal signs of inflammation?
pain
redness
heat
swelling
loss of function
What phase of healing am I:
0-6 days
signs of inflammation
removal of waste material
acute or inflammatory phase
What phase of healing am I:
3 days to 3 weeks
repari and regeneration
healing begins
proliferation or repair phase
What phase of healing am I:
up to 1 year
return to function and activity
maturation or remodeling phase

When can heat be used?
during the proliferation and maturation phases only
How often should heat be applied?
10-30 minutes every 2-4 hours
What are contraindicated in heat therapy?
