Smooth Involuntary, located in intestines, Bd, arteries
Striated Voluntary, located in skeletal system
Sprain an injury to the ligamentous structure surrounding a jt. caused by a wrenching or twisting motion
Strain excessive stretching of a muscles, its fascial sheath or a tendon occur mostly in the large muscle groups including lower back, calf, and hamstrings
Strain Manifestations Pain, edema, decrease in fx, contusion
Mild sprain and strain are usually self-limiting c. full fx returning 3-6 weeks
Subluxation Partial or incomplete displacement of the jt surface
Jt most frequently dislocated in upper extremity include: Thumb, elbow and shoulder
Avascular necrosis bone cell death as a result of inadequate blood supply
RSI include poor posture and positioning,poor workspace ergonomics, badly designed workplace equipement. Repitive lifting of heavy workloads w.o sufficient muscle rest
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CTS Condition caused by compression of the median nerve which enter the hand via the narrow confines of the carpal tunnel, fored by ligament and bones
CTS manifestations: Weakness, burning pain, numbness, impaired sensation in the distribution of the median nerve and clumsiness in performing fine movements
Tinel's signs can be elicited by tapping over median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist + sensation of tingling in the distribution of the median nerve over the hand
Phalen's sign can be elicted by allowing the wrists to fall freely into max flexion and maintain the position for longer than 60 seconds + sensation of tingling in the distrubution of the median nerve over the hand
Rotator Cuff Injury a cuff is a complex of four muscles: sprapinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis muscles
Acromioplasty surgical removal part of the acromion to relieve compression of rotator cuff during movement may be necessary
Bursitis inflammation of the burse, results from repeated or excessive trauma or friction, GOUT, RA, or infection
Primary clinical manifestations of bursitis are: warmth, pain, swelling, and limited ROM in affected part
Fracture is... a disruption/break in the continuity of the structure of bone
Traction is an application of a pulling force to an injured or diseased part of the body/ an extremity while countertraction pulls in the opposite direction
Skin traction generally used for short term tx (48-72) until skeletal traction or surgery is possible weighs are 5-10lbs
Skeletal traction align injured bones and jts or to tx jt contractures and congenital hip dysplasia. Provides a long-term pull that keeps the injured bones and jt aligned (5-45 lb) Too much weigh can result in delayed union/nonunion
What is the major of amputation surgery? To preserve extremity length and fx while removing all infected, pathologic, or ischemic tissue
Closed amputation performed to create a weight bearing.. residual limb or stump
Disarticulation is an amputation performed via a jt
Impingement Syndrome Entrapment of soft tissue structure under coracoacromial arch of shoulder
Rotator Cuff Tear Tear within muscle or teninoligamentous structures around shoulder
Shin Splints Inflammation along anterior aspect of calf from periostitis caused by improper shoes, overuse, or running on hard pavement
Tendinitis Inflammation of a tendon as a result of overuse or incorrect use
Ligament injury Tearing or stretching of ligament, usually occurs as a result of inversion, eversion, shearing, or torque applied to a jt. Characterized by sudden pain, swelling, and instability
Meniscal injury: Injury to the fibrocartilage of knee characterized by popping, clickling, tearing sensation, effusion and /or swelling.
CAST temporary circumferential immobilization device
Hip fx of proximal 3rd of the femur, which extends up to 5 cm below lesser trochanter
Buck’s traction Most commonly used for fractures f the hip and femur
Skeletal traction align injured bones and jts or tx jt contractures and congenital hip dysplasia. Provide a long-term pull that keeps the injured bones and jt aligned (5-45 lb) Too much weight can result in delayed union/nonunion
Closed amputation performed to create a weight bearing-residual limb or stump, prevent accumulation of drainage-can produce pressure and harbor bacteria that may cause infection

Swing through gait Gait similar to the swing to gait, pt swings the body past the crutches.
Phantom limb sensation-occurs in 90% of amputees. Pt may complain of feelings of coldness and heaviness, cramping, shooting, burning, or crushing pain.
Arthrodesis is the surgical fusion of a jt. It relieves pain and provides a stable but immobile jt.
OSTEONS haversian systems-fit closely together in compact bone, creating a dense bone structure
EPIPHYSIS: Widened are found at each end of the a long bone, composed of cancellous bone wide one allows fro greater weight distribution and provides stability for the jt. Also location of muscle attachment

Computed Tomography CT • X ray of computer 3-D picture • Identify soft tissue abnormalities, bony abnormalities, and various musculoskeletal trauma • NC: Painless, shellfish allergy? Remain still.
Myelogram c/s CT • Injects contrast medium into sac around nerve roots • CT scan may show how bone is affecting nerve roots. • Test for nerve impingement and lesions injuries can be detected
Magnetic Resonance Imaging MRI • Radio waves and magnetic field used to view soft tissue. • Dx of avascular necrosis, disk disease, tumors, osteomyelitis, ligament tears, cartilage tears. • Gadolinium may be injected IV to enhance visualization of structures.
Bone Scan Injects radioisotope TC 99m taken up by bone. Inform the patient that procedure requires 1 hour while patient lies supine and that no pain or harm will result from isotopes Increase fluids after exam Pregnancy?
