Disease, MSK Inuries, Overuse Notecards Flashcards
(74 cards)
Disease
a structural or functional change within the body judged to be abnormal
Etiology
study of causes of disease
Pathogenesis
the sequence of events that leads from cause to structural and functional abnormalities and finally manifestation of disease
Diagnosis
process of assigning a name to patient’s disease
Syndrome
a cluster of signs and symptoms commonly encountered with more than one disease
symptoms
evidence of disease perceived by the patient
signs
physical observations made y the person who examines the patient
Types of Disease
Structural (organic)–observable abnormalities (rheumatoid arthritis)
Functional Disease–disturbance of function without any observable lesion (mental illness)Acute (short time period)Chronic (long time)
Disease Statistics: Epidemiology Terms (6)
- Mortality Rate: death rate measured as number of people dying in a given time period (# per 100,000)
- Morbidity-frequency of disability within a given population (not lethal)
- Co-Morbid (presence of one or more disordersIncidence (newly diagnosed in a given time period)
- Prevalence (# or proportion of persons with disease at any given time)
- Prognosis (expected outcome)
- Incidence–number of newly diagnosed cases
Causes (10)
- Hereditary/Developmental
- Physical Injury
- Infectious Disease
- Immunological/inflammatory
- endocrine
- neoplastic
- nutritional
- psychological
- iatrogenic
- idiopathic
General Healing Time: Tendon
3-4weeks (tendonitis)
5 weeks-6mos (lacerations)
General Healing Time: Muscle
0-3 days (DOMS)
0-14 days (grade 1)
14 days-3mos (grade II)
3 weeks-6mos/year (grade III)
General Healing Time: Ligament
0-3 days (grade I)
3weeks-6mos/year (grade II)
5-7weeks–2years (grade III)
General Healing Time: Ligament Graft
2months-2years
General Healing Time: Bone
3-4weeks-3/6mos
General Healing Time: Articular Cartilage Repair
7 weeks-2years
Soft Tissue Injury
disruption in structural integrity of either skin, fascia, muscle, tendon, ligament
Epidemiology of soft tissue injuries
20% of all in sports will sustain soft-tissue injuries every yearin UK (9.8million) new exercise-related soft-tissue injuries per year (ages 16-45)
Stages of Soft Tissue Healing (under optimal healing conditions)
- Inflammatory phase (acute)–0-6 days
- Proliferative Phase (sub-acute)–3-20days
- Remodeling/maturation phase (chronic)–day 9 and beyond
Inflammatory Phase Responses and purpose (4)
Hemostatic
Vascular
Cellular
Immunological
I: Vascular Phase Response (steps and signs)
- transient vasoconstriction2. followed by vasodilation (inc blood flow, hydrostatic pressure, permeability of small vessels) redness, swelling, warmth, pain, loss of function
I: Edema
blood volume and pressure increase, outward filtration increases, (inflamed edema)
I: cellular response
luekocytes (attracted by chemical mediators)neutrophils (rid area of bacteria and debris by phagocytosis)Monocytes (large macrophages)
I: Hemostatic Response (very early)
platelets aggregate, deposit fibrinFibrin forms a lattice for clot formation
