scar tissue that can develop in muscle post injury abnormally binds muscle fibers or muscles together, looks like a scar, doesn't go away, can create pain if nerve is affected, affects muscle functionality (no bueno for athletes) contract/stretching = BYE

without coordination/lack of balance (proprioception - brain body connection)

degeneration of muscle, you don't use it, you lose it, (why wheelchair ppl's legs are skinny :(, can happen post immobilization)

Carpal tunnel syndrome

pinching of the median nerve through the carpal tunnel (caused by swelling and over use)

permanent tightening of flexor muscles via atrophy, common in DND (duchenne's) and paralyzed patients, ex. car accident, muscle can be moved manually but it snaps back (looks all bent)

bad coordination/difficulty, problem with nerve communication with muscle groups (proprioception is affected when someone is injured, needs to be replenished by a PT)

inflammation of the fascia (thin membrane that covers/surrounds/protects muscles)

half of body slightly paralyzed, weak, caused by stroke

half the body completely paralyzed, caused by stroke

tendonitis (pinches when it happens, painful) in shoulder due to OA and overuse

Muscular dystrophy (DMD)

(duchenne's) genetic condition where muscles pathologically atrophy, symptoms develop ages 2-4 (usually boys), rapidly progresses until death at 18-25, identified by Gowers maneuver , detected via blood, treatment - maintaining daily activities (OT)

pain in the sole of foot due to falling arch & excessive stretching/flattening of plantar fascia (common w/ runners) , can cause a heel spur (bone growth, painful), need arch support (orthotics)

four extremities paralyzed (paraplegia -paralysed from waist down)

muscle atrophy in elderly population (why grandma is "squishy")

tightening of a muscle or potion of a muscle abnormally (treatment- massaging, yoga)

muscle or tendon tear graded 1-3 (1. 1-49% torn, 2. 50-99% torn, 3. completely torn), difference in healing times and prognosis, treatment is PT and RICE, muscle "belly" prognosis (2-4 weeks) is more favorable than a tendon, (6-8 weeks)

shaking of muscle abnormally, random/uncontrollable, mumbly speech (parkinson's disease - problem in brain)
