Types of Wound Healing Flashcards

1
Q

A

AKA primary union
Clean surgical like injury allows edges of wound to approximate
Little to no scar

Q

Healing by Secondary Intention

A

AKA Secondary Union
Tissue defect is large, may be dirty wound
Typical has a more significant inflammatory reaction
Increased granulation and myofibroblast activity
Produces scar

Q

Realignment Theories - Induction Theory

A

Scar tries to mimic characteristics of healthy tissue

Tissue structure induces the collagen weave pattern

Q

Clinical COnsiderations

A

Controlled Activity
Tissue develops its maximum strength in direction that the forces are applied
Excessive force will re-njure

Q

Immobilization

A
Muscle has dec number of sarcomeres
- dec strength
- inc contractile time
- dec speed of contraction
Inc density of connective tissue at permysial and endomysial levels

More on immobilization

16
Q

Prcautions

A

no sign of inflammation

Discomfort as activity progresses but not lasting more than a couple of hours after

17
Q

Signs that activity is progressing too quickly

A

Joint sweling
Pain longer than 4 hours and requires meds for relief
Dec in strength of flexibility
Fatigue more easily

18
Q

Chronic Recurring Pain

A

Pain that occurs from old injury might be result of:

  • Return to function too early
  • Scar tissue tearing
  • Stressed with repeated or vigorous activity
19
Q

Tx approach with Chronic Recurring Pain

A

Treat as an acute injury

Develop program to correct faulty mechancs or faulty habits may be sustaining the problem

20
Q

Stretchin

A
  1. Alignment
  2. Stabilization
  3. Intensity
  4. Duration
  5. Speed
  6. Frequency
  7. Mode
21
Q

Rules for Stretching

A
  1. Position so that you are stretching the target tissue
  2. Avoid forces and movements that produce a reflex muscular action
  3. Inc only to functional limits
  4. Do not produce an inflammatory reaction
22
Q

Stretching - Patient Sensations

A

Tightness/Tension in tissue being targeted
Burning sensation in tissue being stretched at 20 sec mark
No distal burning should be felt
In tissues that are chronically inflamed, may have ache in joint

23
Q

Clinical Observations - Stretching

A

Relaxation in first 20 sec
Patient holds breath = too much
Relaxation response by patient and tissue
Tissue should be taut but not painful

24
Q

Response to Stretching Treatment

A

Body part will feel clumsy or unsteady for first few seconds after
Discomfot lasts for only few minutes after

25
Q

Improper Technique - Stretching

A

If patient has sensations of discomfort in areas of distal or proximal
If patient describes pulling sensation during stretch - likely not positioned properly
Sharp, sore joint pain descriptors
If patient feels threatened
