50 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
Supination of the foot
a combined motion of plantar flexion, inversion, and adduction of the foot
Pronation of the foot
a combined motion of dorsiflexion, eversion, and abduction of the foot
Calcaneous (position of the foot)
weight on the heel, and foot is dorsiflexed with toes extended.
Equinus (position of the foot)
weight is on the "balls" of the foot
Pes Cavus
a shortened plantar fascia, characterized by a high arch
Pes Planus
a lax plantar fascia, characterized by a flat arch
Talipes equinovarus
a congenital condition in which the foot turns inward and downward. also know as congenital club foot
Internal tibial torsion
a condition where the tibia is rotated medially at the knee causing in-toe gait
External tibial torsion
a condition in which the tibia is laterally rotated at the knee causing an out-toe gait
Femoral torsion
an inward twisting of the thigh bone resulting in a knock-kneed position
Femoral retroversion
the femoral neck and head is oriented posteriorly to coronal (frontal) plane of the femor
femoral anteversion
a condition in which the femoral neck and head are directed anteriorly in reference to the coronal plane
Cubital varus
a decreased carrying angle of the elbow
Cubital valgus
an increased carrying angle of the elbow
Genu varus
an outward bowing of the femur on the tibia
Genu valgus
an inward deviation of the femur on the tibia, knocked-knee
Hallux valgus
when the big toe points inward, usually into the 2nd toe
coxa varus
the angle of the head & shaft of the femur is less than 120 degrees
coxa valgus
the angle between the head and shaft of the femur is greater than 135 degrees
calcaneal varus
the heel is turned inward, or is inverted
calcaneal valgus
the heel is turned outward, or is everted
Ganglion cyst
a swelling or tumor on a joint or tendon sheath, also known as a bible cyst
ecchymosis
a small hemorrhage spot on the skin
contusion
a bruise
bursitis
inflammation of the bursa sac
synovitis
inflammation of the synovial membrane
tendinitis
inflammation of the tendon
tendinosis
chronic degeneration of a tendon from prolonged tendinitis
muscle guarding
a protecting response in muscle that results from pain or fear of movement/pain
muscle spasm
a sudden, involuntary contraction of a muscle. often is painful
Based on the examination, your evaluation should establish:
the diagnosis, which includes a list of functional limitations and impairments, and the prognosis, which includes the POC, goals, and outcomes
Things to consider for a holistic approach to patient care:
1) the patient is an individual with unique needs
2) psychosocial aspects - family support
3) learning style & cognitive abilities
4) Goals & outcomes relative to patient's needs
5) promote wellness - education
6) comorbidities
7) fitness level and lifestyle factors
Forms of intervention?
psychological, nutrition counseling, pharmacological, radiation, immobilization, modalities & physical agents, application of external forces (i.e. traction), ther-ex, education, relaxation, prevention, surgery
Types of surgery?
manipulation, open - incision, arthroscopic, microsurgery
Surgerical procedures
incision & drainage, exploratory/diagnostic, open reduction, release, resection (excision, debridement, lysis/lavage), reconstruction (osteotomy or grafting), surgical lengthening (Ilizarov technique), repair, replantation, replacement, implantation, fusion (arthodesis), transposition, disarticulation, revision
Signs & symptoms of inflammation
heat, erythemia/redness, swelling/edema, pain, loss of function
Functions of articular cartialge
main function is shock absorption and facilitation of low friction movements; growth in youth
Chondrocytes
cells of cartialge; synthesize and make extracellular matrix that is made of collagen fiber and ground substance
Proteoglycans - complex protein
part of ground substance
responsible for contributing to the firm consistency of cartilage.
they attract water
made of hyaluronic acid core and glycoaminglycan
Hyaline Cartilage
avascular, aneural, dependent on diffusion from synovial fluid for nutrition.
Healthy Cartilage needs:
synovial fluid, movement, and mechanical forces with variance
Degeneration of articular cartialge
Part of normal aging process (wear/tear)
Primarily idiopathic degen jt dis. (DJD)
Secondarily degen - associated with trauma
Idiopathic Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD)
degeneration of cartialge, remodeling in subchondral bone, transient inflammation in synovial membrane, typical of WB joint
Secondary DJD
micro or macro trauma, chemical trauma, exposure to air, congenital abnormalities, prolonged immobilization, cyclic inflammation, joint instability
Sequence of events in degeneration of articular cartilage
1) release of enzymes associated with inflam.
2) degradation and release of proteoglycans
3) disruption of collagen fiber network (fibers become disorganized and release proteos into joint space)
Types of cartilage degeneration
fibrillation - occurs at surface, proteos escape
Fissuring - extensive surface damage that goes further down
Eburnation - a fissuring that goes all the way tot he subchondral bone
Blistering - intact surface, but softening of deep layers
Osteoarthritic "Lipping"
chondrocytes begin to grow and extra cartilage forms the edge of the joint. They can eventually ossify (bone spur), form an exostosis or osteophytes
Sources of pain with OA
bone on bone contact
soft tissue damage at joint
synovial and fibrous jt capsule (innervated)
muscle spasm
changes in barometric pressure
Prostaglandin synthesis related to:
inflammation
pain
fever
dysmenorrhea
thrombus formation
other diseases
Steroid SE
immunosuppression, adrenocortical suppression, stress on renal system, weakening of collage, atrophy of muscle, Cushing's syndrome
