Test 1 Flashcards
(42 cards)
Pain results from the release of chemical irritants and also a result of swelling/edema that compresses nociceptors
Inflammatory Pain
Pain results from the stretch or compression of pain sensitive structures. These structures contain nociceptors, when they are stimulated and produce painful sensations.
Mechanical Pain
Pain provoked by noxious stimulation produced by injury or disease
Acute Pain
Pain that persists beyond the usual course of healing
Chronic Pain
A clinical syndrome in which clients present with high levels of pain that is chronic in duration and involves functional limitations and often times depression
Chronic Pain Syndrome
Pain as a result of non-inflammatory dysfunction of the peripheral or central nervous system that does not involve nociceptor stimulation or trauma
Neurogenic Pain
Pain that is felt at another location of the body that is distant from the tissues that have caused it. Usually reported as pain that is in a generalized area, felt deeply, radiates segmentally without crossing the midline, and has indistinct boundaries.
Referred Pain
Also known as a radicular or nerve root pain. Involves a spinal nerve or spinal nerve root. Pain is felt in a dermatone, myotome, or sclerotome.
Radiculopathy
A dermatome is an area of skin supplied by one dorsal nerve root. Injury can cause sensory alteration to the skin, or pain (usually burning or electric)
Dermatomal Pain
A _____ is a group of muscles supplied by one nerve root
Myotomal Pain
An area of bone or fascia innervated by a nerve root
Sclerotomal Pain
Nerve Roots also supply the viscera. Pain can be felt in a dermatome as a result of visceral injury
Visceral Pain
Referred pain arising from a ________. Client often feels the pain at a distance that is entirely remote from the area of the _______. Untreated can be associated with pain syndromes that included by are not limited to, frozen shoulder and tennis elbow.
Trigger Point Pain
Generally: as a lesion worsens, the area of pain enlarges and moves distally from the original lesion. This concept is referred to as ______. If resolving, the are decreases and becomes localized, this is called _______.
Peripheralization
Centralization
Usually indicates a lesion to a superficial structure such as: Superficial muscles and tendons as well as ligaments
Local Pain
Pain is not localized and can occur with injuries to the following: A deep somatic or neural structure; joint subluxation or dislocation; severe hematoma; fractures and trigger points
Diffuse
The pain may be qualified as: Skin and fascia; superficial muscle; superficial ligament, acute inflammation etc
Sharp
The pain may be qualified as: Joints, deep muscles, chronic muscle injuries, subchondral bone, chronic inflammation, trigger points etc
Dull Ache
The pain may be qualified as: nerve injury, circulatory problems
Tingling or Parathesia
Caused by damage or impingement of a nerve innervating a particular area
Numbness
With a movement that repeats the mechanism of injury could be caused by injury to a local muscle or ligament. Sensation similar to plucking on a string
Twinge
Amount of joint motion that can be achieved by the client during the performance of unassisted voluntary joint motion
Active Free (AF)
Amount of joint motion available when an examiner moves a joint through its anatomical or physiological range, without assistance from the client, while the client is relaxed.
Passive Relaxed (PR)
Used to determine the status of the contractile unit with the use of controlled isometric contractions, along the normal planes of movement of a given joint
Active Resisted
