Manual Muscle testing

Front

allows the therapist to assign a specific grade to the muscle.

Back

Conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system are the primary domain of physical therapists who specialize in

Front

orthopedic physical therapy

Back

Nerve Entrapment

Front

Pressure on a nerve. Symptoms: tingling, pain, weakness, or any combination of these. Common Condition: Carpal Tunnel syndrome, patients usually complain of numbness in hands or fingers which is from the result of repeated activities with the wrist in a flexed position.

Back

Special Tests

Front

used to examine specific joints to indicate the presence or absence of a particular problem.

Back

Musculoskeletal injuries are sustained through

Front

athletic participation, work related injuries, conditions resulting from orthopedic surgical procedures and degenerative changes that accompany the aging process

Back

Muscle Strain

Front

A sudden contraction of a muscle fiber or excessive stretch on a muscle can cause tearing of the muscle fibers.

Back

Range of Motion( ROM)

Front

movement of a joint

Back

Subjective Examination/Objective Examination

Front

The History of the Patient/The Remaining Parts

Back

Passive Range of Motion

Front

refers to the amount of movement at a joint that is obtained by the therapists moving the segment without the assistance from the patient.

Back

Active Range of Motion

Front

refers to the ability of the patient to voluntarily move a limb through an arc of movement. "willingness of patient to move"

Back

Strength

Front

can be defined as the amount of force produced during voluntary muscular contraction

Back

Questions asked during a patient interview

Front

about the onset of the condition, current symptoms, previous physical therapy treatments, past medical history, and lifestyle and health habits pertaining to work and recreation. See page 179

Back

The increased use of computers and other technical machinery recurring repeated motions has also had an impact on the incidence of overuse injuries in the upper extremity. They are at risk of...

Front

the development of muscle injury or nerve entrapment requiring intervention by a PT

Back

Physical Therapy for musculoskeletal conditions is the focus on a

Front

patients function

Back

Thermal Ultrasound

Front

the use of therapeutic of high frequency sound waves that penetrate tissue and increase tissue temperature to promote healing and reduce pain.

Back

Ligament Sprain

Front

supporting structures of joints that serve to stabilize the joint and prevent excess movement. When ligaments are overstretched fibers tear and cause pain and instability at the joint. Ex: ACL- result of a cutting or twisting movement of the knee when the foot is planted , commonly occurring in sports.

Back

Bursitis

Front

an inflammation of bursa, which are fluid-filled sacs located throughout the body that decrease friction between structures. Bursa become irritated and painful when they are repeatedly pinched between structures. EX: injury at the shoulder, the subacromial bursa may be pinched during repeated movements when the shoulder is in a overhead position, such as painting, reaching or throwing.

Back

Hydrotheraphy

Front

the use of therapeutic effects of water

Back

Creyotherapy

Front

therapeutic cold may be applied to decrease tissue temperature.

Back

Tendinopathy

Front

Tendons are the structures that connect muscle to bone. Repeated use or rapid over stretching of muscles can overload and injure the tendons. see pg. 176

Back

Total Joint Arthroplasty

Front

Joints most commonly replaced are weight-bearing joints. A variety of plastic and stainless steel implants are used to effectively replace degenerated joint surfaces.

Back

Outcome Measures

Front

are standardized instruments that measure an individuals actual or perceived activity limitations and participations restrictions and an individuals quality of life or health status.

Back

A orthopaedic PT may work with

Front

athletes but may also treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions that are not related to sports activities

Back

Fracture

Front

Direct trauma to the bone causing a break. Most common in older adults. Radiographs are used to diagnose.

Back

Fluidtherapy

Front

is the use of a self-contained unit filled with corncobs finely chopped into a sawdust type substance.

Back

Systems Review

Front

the objective portion of the examination refers to quantize or qualitative measurements that are taken by the Pt.

Back

Short-wave diathermy

Front

the use of electromagnetic energy to produce deep heating effects

Back

Gonimeter

Front

measures joint angles

Back

Flexibility

Front

refers to the ability to move a ligament through specific ROM. The amount of flexibility at a given joint depends on: the soft tissue surrounding the joint most be pliable to allow movement between the joint surfaces. Also, the muscles crossing the joint must be at the appropriate length allow motion to occur.

Back

Amputation

Front

Postoperative physical therapy often includes exercises to maintain strength in the remaining of the limb, functional training with a prothesis, and activities to improve overall fitness and well being.

Back

Overuse injuries

Front

repeated stress to the musculoskeletal system can cause oversees injuries that may result in pain, inflammation, and dysfunction.

Back

Accessory Motion

Front

the ability of the joint surfaces to glide, roll, and spin on each other.

Back

Physical Agents

Front

are available for PTs to incorporate into the plan of care when treating patients with musculoskeletal problems. EX: heat, cold, electrical stimulation

Back

Review of Symptoms(ROS)

Front

is usually preformed by using checklists of common symptoms typically associated with various systems of the body.

Back

Palpatation

Front

PT's use their sense of touch, to assess what is occurring below the skin. The PT feels for areas of tenderness, areas of restrictions, swelling, and proper orientation of structures.

Back

Traumatic Injuries

Front

Musculoskeletal injuries that occur as a result of direct trauma. Bones, muscles, ligaments, and other soft tissue may be injured when they sustain a direct blow or when they are placed under excessive stretch.

Back

Dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system result in

Front

symptoms of pain, stiffness, edema(swelling, muscle weakness or fatigue, or loss of range of motion

Back

Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS)

Front

The patient is asked to list up to five activities that he or she is having difficulty preforming because of his or her injury or condition. zero to 10 scale
