Q

Proliferative Stage - repair phase

A

Hematoma is broken down and replaced with granulation tissue (scar tissue is being formed)

Eventually healthier tissue replaces granulation tissue and as the amount increases so does the tensile strength of the tissue

Q

What is malpractice?

A

Occurs when an individual commits a negligent act (one or more of the three “feasance”s) while providing care

23
Q

What is malfeasance?

A

Occurs when an individual commits an act that is not one’s responsibility to perform (e.g. if an AT suspects an acute neck injury and attempts to manipulate the neck to realign the spine)

24
Q

What is misfeasance?

A

Occurs when an individual commits an act that is one’s responsibility to perform but either uses the wrong procedure or does the correct procedure in an improper manner (e.g. if an AT suspects a neck injury and improperly secures the head and neck area to the spine board)

25
What is nonfeasance?
Occurs when an individual fails to perform the legal duty of care (e.g. if an AT suspects a neck injury (or should suspect one) and fails to use a spinal board to stabilize the individual)
26
What is gross negligence?
Occurs when an individual has total disregard for the safety of others
27
Are symptoms subjective or objective?
Subjective
28
Are diagnostic signs subjective or objective?
Objective
29
What is macrotrauma?
Injury from specific event
30
What is microtrauma?
Results from repetitive trauma
31
When assessing an athlete with a quadriceps strain, you found that the athlete had decreased range of motion and pain during passive knee flexion. Why?
The quadriceps is being stretched during this movement

33
Which nerve runs through/by (depends on the individual) the piriformis muscle?
Sciatic
34
A hamstring strain can only occur through quick passive stretch of the muscle, true or false?

37
When treating an acute ankle sprain, which type of modality should you use in the first 24-48 hours?
Ice
38
Why would you use ice in the first 24-48 hours following an acute ankle sprain?
To decrease secondary hypoxic injury To decrease pain
39
How long should you recommend using ice as a treatment?
As long as there is pain OR 24-48 hours
40
What is a sign or symptom of inflammation?
Swelling Heat Pain Altered function Redness

Objective
46
You can classify a muscular injury as a Grade I, II, or III. What can be used to determine this grade?
Muscular Strength Range of Motion
