chap 1 principle and concepts Flashcards
New pain that is often severe, continuous, and perhaps disabling. Tend to be irritable
Acute pain
Aggravating, not as intense, has been experienced before
Chronic pain
Peripheral sensitization of nocireceptors
AKA primary hyperalgesia. when tissue has been damaged, substances are released leading to inflammation, resulting localized pain
Central sensitization
AKA secondary hyperalgesia: more central process involving Spinal cord and brain, manifests itself as widespread hypersensitivity to such physical mental and emotional stressors
Acute condition (how many days)
7-10days
subacute conditions
10 days to 7 weeks
Chronic conditions
longer than 7 weeks
cramping, dull, aching
muscle pain
dull aching
ligament, joint capsule
sharp shooting
Nerve root
Sharp bright, lightening like
Nerve
Burning, pressurelike, stinging, aching
sympathetic nerve
Deep nagging dull
Bone
Sharp, severe, intolerable
fracture
Throbbing, diffuse
Vasculature
Locking (joint) vs. Pseudolocking
Locking: joint cannot be fully extended i.e meniscal tear in the knee
Pseudolocking: does not extend one time, does extend next time i.e. loose body
spasm locking/ giving way
Spasm locking: can no be put through a full ROM because mm spasm or because mvmt was too fast
Giving way: by reflex inhibition or weakness of mm due to anticipating pain or instability
Laxity vs hypermobility
Laxity: excessive ROM but can control movement and no pathology
Hypermobility: has pathological component, can not control at end range, instability of joint
Static flexibility and dynamic flexibility
Static flexibility: ROM available
Dynamic flexibility: stiffness, ease of movement
translational instability vs anatomical instability
translational instability: AKA pathological or mechanical instability, loss of control of the small arthrokinematic joint movement (spin, slide, roll, translation)
Anatomical instability: AKA clinical or gross instability, mechanical instability or pathological hypermobility, excessive or gross physiological movement in the joint where patient become apprehensive a the end of ROM because of subluxation or dislocation
Functional instability
either or both type, arthrokinematic or osteokinematic
Voluntary instability vs involuntary instability
Voluntary instability: initiated by mm contraction
Involuntary instability: initiated by positioning
circle concept of instability
one side joint dislocation/injury affect the other side
myotome, dermatome, sclerotome
myotome: mm supplied by a single nerve root
Dermatome: area of skin “””
sclerotome: area of bone or fascia “”””
