24
Q
Explain the role of the somatosensory cortex?
A
Sensory processing of pain
The primary somatosensory cortex processes the physical characteristics of pain, such as location, intensity and quality
The secondary somatosensory cortex integrates sensory inputs and contributes to the perception of pain’s spatial and temporal aspects
25

INFLUENCESDECISION TO ENGAGE WITH PAIN
29
Explain the role of the periaqueductal gray (PAG)?
Modulation of pain perception
Initiates descending pain modulation pathways, influencing pain transmission and perception through the endogenous pain control mechanisms
30

40
What is an isotonic muscle contraction?
Characterised by a change in length of muscle during contraction without a change in load or resistance
Concentric contraction and eccentric contraction are both types of isotonic muscle contraction
Concentric contraction - muscles shortening under load eg flexion phase of bicep curl
Eccentric - muscle is lengthened under load eg extension phase of a bicep curl
41
What is isometric muscle contraction?
There is no change in muscle length during contraction eg rectus adbominus during the plank. It is a static muscle contraction, eg holding a bicep curl at one point.
42
What is isokinetic contraction?
The muscle changes length during contraction. They produce movement at a constant speed. Eg breastroke when swimming when the water provides a constant, even resistance to at adduction movement. To provide this type of contraction you would need to be using an isokinetic dynamoeter system
43
What are antagonistic muscle pairs?
When muscles work in pairs to produce a movement. Eg flexion at the elbow the bicep contracts and shortens and the tricep lengthens. The bicep is called the agonist and is the main muscle (the prime mover doing the work) and the tricep is the antagonist relaxing and lengthening.
Kicking a football the hamstrings are the antagonists
44
What are some differential diagnosise for lower back pain?
Alternative conditions that may present with low back pain include:
Neurological - sciatica, higher cord lesion, peroneal palsy, deep gluteal syndrome, spinal stenosis
Systemic - vascular claudication, ankylosing spondylitis
Other - abdominal aortic aneurysm, facet joint arthropathy, osteoporosis, osteoarthisitis, rheumatoid arthisitis, shingles
45
What is nocioception?
The neural process of encoding and processing noxious stimuli. (a stimulus strong enough to threaten the body's integrity). Nocioception refers to a signal arriving at the CNS as a result of the stimulation of specialised sensory receptors in the peripheral nervous system.
Nocioceptors can be activated by three types of stimulus: temperature, mechanical and chemical.
The cell bodies of nociceptors are located in the dorsal root ganglia. Their axons extend into the peripheral nervous system.
46
How are nocioceptors divided?
A delta fibres - large, myelinated, fast conducting fibres, concerned with localized, sharp and fast sensation of pain
Type I As: mechanically sensitive afferants
Type II As: lower heat thresholds but higher mechanical thresholds
C fibres - are small, unmyleinated, slow conducting nerve fibres, concerned with dull, and slow pain sensation.
A-beta are myelinated, large diameter, and have the fastest conduction velocity. These fibrs respond to non-painful stimuli such as: touch sensation, mild pressura and vibration.
47
What is the gate control theory of pain?
A mechanism, in the spinal cord, whwhich pain signals can be sent up to the brain to be processed to accentuate the possible percieved pain, or attenuate it at the spinal cord itself.
The gate is the mechanism where pain signals can be let through or restricted. If the gate is open, pain signals can pass through and will be sent to the brain to percieve the pain. If the gate is closed, pain signals will be restricted from travelling up to the brain, and the sensation of the pain won't be percieved.
If someone experiences a painful stimulus, the application of a non-noxious stimulus can help to activate the gate control machanism.
It is located in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.
48
What are pain descending pathways?
Once a pain signal from the ascending pathway reaches the somatosensory cortex, it triggers descending pain modulatory system. The goal of this system is to allow the organism to function enough to respond t the pain source by reducing the pain signal through neural inhibition in the top down modulation of pain.
49
How do endogenous opoids work?
When endogenous opoids act on these receptors it reduces neurotransmitter release from the first order neurone, and causes hyperpolarisation of the second order neurone. Together, this reduces the firing of action potentials in the second order neurone, blocking the transmission of pain signals.
50
What muscles are involved in forced inhalation?
Sternocleidomastoideus
Scalene
Serratus anterior
Pectoralis minor
Intercostals
Rectus abdominus
Internal oblique
External oblique
Transverse abdominus
51
What is the pleura?
Each lung is sitting in its own sealed chamber, both the lung and its outer chamber have a very smooth lining called the pleura.
Each of the lung is covered by a visceral pleura. They sit in their space which is covered by the parietal pleura. The space between the two pleura is very thin in life.
The visceral pleura lines the lungs an the parietal pleura lines the cavity. It is filled with fluid called pleural fluid.
A liquid between the surfaces of such a thin space creates significant capillary forces, which hold the two surfaces together - it pulls the lungs surface with the cavity's surface because the lung is flexible.
At the bottom of the lung there is the parietal pleura which is just cavity, which is a reserve space for the full expansion of the lung at maximal inhalation.
52
What are the airways in the lungs?
Tubes that bring air in and out of the alveoli. They have larger air spaces than the alveoli and thicker walls. Smaller airways have thicker walls because thee have a small muscle layer. This layer contracts during asthma, which impairs air flow to the alveoli which leads to shortness of breath.
53
What is the diaphragm?
The main muscle involved in respiration.
It has a tough connective tissue sheet in its middle, called the central tendon. The fibres form a dome shaped structure which pulls the central tendon downwards when they contract.
They insert into the margain of the lowest ribs and the sides of the lowest thoracic vertebrae.
During relaxed breathing, the diaphragm contracts, which pulls the central tendon down and creates more space. As the lung is tethered to the wall of its cavity by capillary forces, it expands and the elastic fibres get stretched, which causes air to flow in.
Exhalation is mostly achieved by the recoil of the elastic fibres in the lung. The lung is pulled back to its original size.
54
What happens during forced inhalation?
The auxillary muscles pull the thorax upward and outward. The intercostal muscles contract and bring the ribs closer to each other. The scalenes anterior and posterior, serratus anterior, sternocleidomastoideus, intercostals and pectoralis minor pull the thorax upwards, and this extends the thorax.
55
What are the functions of bones?
Mechanical: support, protection, assists movement, shape and form
Chemical: homeostasis of minerals, energy store for metabolism
Haematological: blood cell production
56
What are the properties of bone?
Dynamic
Metabolically active
Highly vascular
Capacity for self repair
Microscopic make up: 65% minerals (calcium and phosphorus), 30% organic matrix (90% collagen fibres and 10% protein) 5% water
70-80% of bone strength is accounted for by bone density (calcium and phosphorus)
20% strength comes from bone architecture.
57
What are osteocytes?
Mature osteoblasts, connected and surrounded by bone matrix
Their function is to regukate bone metabolism and they are pivotol in bone turnover and adaption of bone
58
What are osteoclasts?
Originate from haemopoietic stem cells
Their function is bone resportion, regulated by the thyroid gland. Activated low blood calcium levels, bone repair and remodelling
Predominantly found on the endosteal and periosteal surfaces.
59
What is cortical/compact bone?
80% of the skeleton
Hollow tube of long bone
Lamellae form concentric rings around central longitdinal canals
60
Explain the formation of bone structure?
Osteoblast percursor cells arise from stems cells in the bone marrow
Osteoblasts take up calcium compounds from the blood to make more bone matrix
Further addition of calcium phosphate to the bone matrix leads to calcification. The mature cells become embedded and stuck.
Eventually become embedded in the matrix forming uncalcified bone matrix.
61
What are the 4 stages of bone healing?
Haemotoma 0-48 hours: ruptured blood vessels leak blood into the fracture site which fills the gap. Clotted blood allows nutrophils into the site and get rid of nexrotic tissue. New blood vessels are laid down.
Soft callus stage - 0-2 weeks: white blood cells and platelets relaese growth factors. Osteoblasts lay down woken tissue
Bony callus stage
Bony callus stage - 2-12 weeks
Remodelling: pressure through bone takes weight tissue which causes tissue thickening, reducing size of bony callus.
62
What is wolf's law?
Remodelling of bone is a cyclical process which happens throughout life
Takes between 4 to 8 months
Reabsorption (10 days)
Matrix formation (10-20 days)
Mineralisation (3-4 months)
Bone is laid down where it is needed and re absorbed where it is not
Bone has the ability to adapt by changing size shape and structure to the mechanical demands placed on it.
Those that are inactive ir immobile are at greater risk of the balance of remodelling shifting towards greater reabsorption.
63
What are the stages of bone remodelling?
Reabsorption: pre-osteoclasts and active osteoclasts
Reversal: pre-osteoblasts
Bone formation: osteoblasts
Mineralisation: osteocytes
For a healthy skeletal system, there needs to be a balance between reabsorption and deposition of cells.
64
What is the link between bone mass density and physical activity?
More physical activity increases bone mass in early teen years
Normal forces in daily activities in older adults is not enough to sustain critical bone mass
65
What factors influence the reabsorption of bone?
Smoking
Age
Alcoholism
Eating disorder
Drug - steroid use
Reduced weight bearing
Causes more bone to be reabsorbed than is laid down, which results in structural fragility.
66
What most important factors negatively effect bone mass density?
Mechanical loading, ageing, menopause, achieving peak bone mass in childhood.
67
What is osteoporosis?
Characterised by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue.
Consequences increases bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture
1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over 50 will experience osteoporosis
The lattice (honeycomb) structure becomes more porous, weaker and gaps widen. Even a low level fall would be sufficient trauma to cause a fracture.
68
What are some risk factors for osteoporosis?
All women over 65, all men over 75
Or below this age with the following risks:
- previous fragility fracture
- current or frequent use of oral glucocorticoids
- a history of falls
- a family history of hip fracture
- low body mass index
- smoking
- alcohol intake of more than 14/21 units per week for women/men

Disruption to the vascular supply
Cells form a clot
Ischaemia (cells death) occurs due to compromised blood supply
Vasoconstriction leading to local cell death
74
What is the inflammatory response to fractures?
Production of serotonin and histamine stimulate the inflammatory response
The haemotoma is converted into connective tissue 'granulation (new connective tissue)
The granulation tissue takes the place of haemotoma (acts like a weak splint, surrounding the fracture where immune cells and growth factors can collect)
75
What s the cellular callus stage is response to fractures?
Growth of capillary buds at fracture site
Precursor cells differentiate into chondroblasts (produce collagen) and osteoblasts
New matrix is laid down made from sticky type 2 collagen
Not detectable on X ray.
76
What is the mineralised callus stage in response to fractures?
Cellular matrix mineralised
Chondrocyctes mature and synthesise minerals (calcium)
Osteoblasts lay down woven bone amongst hyaine cartilidge.
Partial strength is restored.
Eventually the fracture gap is bridged by the hyaline cartilidge and woven bone, restoring some of its original strength. Therefore some pressure can begin to be put through the bone. (union is the partial repair of bone)
77
What is the consolidation phase of fracture healing?
Woven bone and hyaline cartilidge are replaced by lamellar bone (trabecular)
No movement at site
Fracture is no longer visible on an x ray, with no pain on palpation and full strength. Can increase the loading and activity.
78
What is the remodelling stage in fracture healing?
Begins where there is no movement at site. Remodelling of trabecular bone to compact bone.
Osteoclasts - dissolve trabecular bone
Osteoblasts - lay down compact bone
Reshaping of bone along line of stress
Can take years.
79
What are some local anatomical factors and systemic factors that influence fracture healing?
Anatomical:
Soft tissue injury
Interruption of local blood supply
Interposition of soft tissue at fracture site
Bone death caused by radiation, thermal, chemical burns or infection.
Systemuc:
Mulnutrition (causes reduced activity and decreased callus formation)
Smoking (cigarette smoke inhibits osteoblasts, nicotine causes vasoconstriction diminishing blood flow to fracture site)
Diabetes Mellitus (associated with collagen defects)
80

Generally short lived 6-8 hours but up to 24
84
What is the inflammation phase in the mechanism of healing?
Cardinal signs of inflammation: heat, odema (swelling), pain, erythema (redness), disturbance of function
Vasodilation of microcirculation with increased blood flow
- permeability of small vessels
Allows water, electrolytes and small proteins to leak from the vessels into the surrounding tissue
Results in swelling
Therapy: manual therapy, exercise, electro-physical modalities, may influence chemistry of inflammation
85

Beginning of healing
Generation of repair material 'granulation tissue'
Rapid onset 24-48 hours
Reaches a peak 10-14 days
Angiogenesis - production and development of capillary buds
Fibroplasia - production fibroblasts synthesis of type 3 collagen.
87
What is the remodelling phase in the mechanism of healing?
Increase in number of fibroblasts
Increase in activity type 3 collagen synthesis
Conversion of type 3 collagen to type 1 (tissue gradually becomes stronger by being subjected to controlled stress)
Growth of capillary buds, creating a capillary network link around the injured area
Neutrophils continue to remove cellular debris, erythrocytes and the fibrin clot
Inflammatory cells gradually disappear
88
What is the Maturation phase in the mechanism of healing?
Major slow down in collagen turnover (mostly type 1)

105
What is concurrent training?
Combining aerobic and resistance exercise within the same training programme.
Recommendations:
Any high intensity endurance training should be performed early in the day, then a period of 3 hours recovery should be given
Resistance exercise supported by readily digestible, leucine rich protein as soon as possible after training
Fully refueld between morning endurance and afternoon strength training
Consider performing strength training immeditaly after low intensity non depleting endurance sessions (to improve endurance response and provide a strong strength stimulus).
