External Force
Blunt trauma from injury, equipment, etc.
Mechanical Trauma
Harmful disturbance in function or structure
Internal Force
Non-contact injuries. Failure from within own body structure
Extrinsic Risk Factors
Environmental problems
Intrinsic Risk Factors
Muscular imbalance, postural defects, overuse, age, technique, etc.
Compression
Two areas being pushed together
Tension
Pull are opposite of each other
Shear
Surfaces rub horizontally across one another
Bending
Bending partially; green stick fracture
Stress/Strain Curve
Dealing with body tissues and how they change in properties due to stress
Toe Region
Where there is still some slack in the tissue
Elastic Limit
When let go the tissue will go back to its original resting length
Plastic Range
Feeling some discomfort to get a good stretch
Necking
The muscle is close to failure; could tear
Contractile Soft Tissue
Muscle and tendon
Non-Contractile Tissue
Skin, joint capsules, ligaments, fascia, cartilage, dura mater, nerve roots
Skin Function
Acts as a passive barrier and protects against trauma
Layers of skin
Epidermis, dermis, hypodermis
Friction Blister
Friction causing fluid build up under the dermis
Abrasion
Skin is scraped along a rough surface. Effects dermis and epidermis exposing the capillaries (strawberry)
Laceration
Skin has been irregularly torn
Avulsion
Tissue is completely torn from its source
Incision
Skin is sharply and cleanly cut
Puncture
Penetration of skin by sharp object
Acute muscle injuries are..
Contusions and strains
Contusions
Simple bruise or bruise with hematoma
Strains
Grade 1; mild tearing
Grade 2; moderate tear
Grade 3; >50% tear, may require surgery
Tendinitis
Inflamed tendon; turns into larger problem in two weeks
Tendinosis
Tendon is degenerating and fibrotic
Tenosynovitis
Gets inflamed where tendon passes through synovial sheath
Tendon Rupture
Complete tear of the tendon
