Injury Response Flashcards
Define modality.
the application of a therapeutic method or agent
4 types of modalities.
- temperature
- electricity
- manual therapy
- exercise
Give examples of temperature modalities:
- cryotherapy
- superficial heat
- ultrasound
Give examples of electricity modalities:
- TENS
- IFC
- EMS
Give an example of manual therapy:
massage
5 factors to consider in regards to modalities:
- type of injury
- type of tissue
- stage of inflammation
- therapeutic goals
- types of modality
Stage of inflammation influences decision on which ______ and _____.
- modalities
- parameters
Define injury:
the result of a harmful disturbance in function and/or structure
What types of injury are there?
Time vs Quantity
- acute
- chronic
- recurrent
What does SHARP stand for?
- Swelling
- Heat
- Altered function
- Redness
- Pain
Define inflammation:
tissue reaction to injury
Define effusion:
the escape of fluid from anatomical vessels or exudation
Define edema:
accumulation of excessive fluid and protein in interstitial space (eg. cells, tissue spaces, body cavities).
Define swelling:
the state of being swollen, increased in size
Name 3 other responses to injury:
- secondary hypoxic/metabolic injury
- muscle spasm
- atrophy
How to avoid atrophy:
starting exercise ASAP - isometrics at mid range
Define primary tissue death:
- external or internal stress that causes injury
- mechanical, chemical, thermal, pathogenic
Define secondary tissue death:
- anoxic or hypoxic injury that leads to cell death
- when it affects other tissues that wasn’t affected before
Goal during acute phase = minimize _____ injury, and to interrupt the injury process after ____ _____ _____ to avoid ______.
- secondary
- primary tissue death
- progression
Typical injury progression without intervention.
- injury
- primary tissue death
- SHARP
- muscle spasm
- atrophy
5 types of tissue in the body:
- epithelial
- adipose
- muscular
- nervous
- connective
Describe epithelial tissue and give examples.
- superficial lining of body, heart/blood vessels, hollow organs, glands, and external openings.
- avascular
