(50 cards)
Tendinitis
inflammation of the tendon
Active resisted exercises
joint movement in which an external force resists the movement
Ligament
supporting structure at joins that serve to stabilize the joint and prevent excess movement
Hypermobile joint
joint subluxation, joint has excessive motion
Subjective examination
interview of the patient about the extent and nature of an injury; a qualitative measurement based on the patient's perception of the problem
Active assisted range of motion
joint movement in which the patient may be assisted either manually or mechanically thought an arc of movement
Hot pack
pouch filled with silica gel and soaked in thermostatically controlled water
Bursitis
inflammation of bursae; commonly occurs at the shoulder to the subacromial bursa
Resisted test
allows therapist to determine general strength of a muscle group and assess whether any pain is produced with the muscle contraction
Fluidotherapy
self-contained unit filled with sawdust-type particles heated to the desired temperature and circulated by air pressure around the involved body part
Bursae
fluid-filled sacs throughout the body that decrease friction between structures
Hydrotherapy
use of the therapeutic effects of water by immersing body part or entire body into a tank of water
Thermal agents
used to modify the temperature of surrounding tissue and result in a change of the amount of blood flow to the injured area (superficial heat, deep heat, cold)
Swedish massage strokes
promote relaxation by decreasing pain or swelling, relieving tension and improving the metabolism of surrounding tissue
Resisted exercise
form of active movement where some form of resistance is provided; increases muscular strength and endurance
Special tests
examine specific joints to indicate the presence or absence of a particular problem
Joint mobilization and manipulation
technique used when a patient's dysfunction is result of joint stiffness or hypomobility; applies specific passive movement to a joint, either oscillatory (rapid, repeated movement) or sustained
dysfunction
any functional disability; PT determines the cause and extent of these
electrical stimulation
application of electricity at specified locations to stimulate nerves, muscles, and other soft tissues to reduce pain and swelling, increase strength and ROM and facilitate wound healing
Cryotherapy
therapeutic use of cold agents to decrease blood flow, metabolism, swelling and pain
Ultrasound
application of high-frequency sound waves that penetrate tissue and increase tissue temperature
Soft tissue mobilization
a variety of hands-on techniques designed to improve movement and function
Range of motion exercise
exercise for mobility of a joint
Active free range of motion
joint movement in which the patient doesn't receive any support or resistance through an arc of movement (ex. pendulum swing)
Hypomobile joint
joint has less motion than is considered functional
Flexibility
ability to move a limb segment through a specific ROM
Range of Motion (ROM)
movement at a joint
Tendinosis
degeneration of the tendon by overuse
Active Range of Motion (AROM)
The ability of the patient to voluntarily move a limb through an arc of movement
Strength
the amount of force produced during a voluntary muscular contraction
Muscle endurance
ability to produce and sustain tension over a prolonged period (high repetitions with low resistance)
Tendinopathy
disorders of the tendons
Manual Muscle Testing (MMT)
allows therapist to assign specific grade to a muscle, based on whether patient can hold the limb against gravity, how much manual resistance can be tolerated and whether joint has full ROM
Sprain
injury to a ligament (overstretching or tearing); commonly at ankle where lateral ligaments are overstretched
Fascia
connective tissue that surrounds muscle and other soft tissue in the body
Strain
injury to a muscle
Myofascial release
manual stretching of the layers of the body's fascia
Transverse friction massage
improves flexibility and function of soft tissues like muscles, ligaments, and tendons
Muscular strength
maximal amount of tension an individual can produce in one repitition (low repetitions with heavy resistance)
Short-wave diathermy
use electromagnetic energy to produce deep therapeutic heating effects
Massage
systematic use of various manual strokes to produce certain physiological, mechanical and psychological effects
Goniometry
methods to measure and document ROM
Whirlpool
tank of water used in hydrotherapy for immersing a body part or the entire body
Nerve entrapment
pressure on a nerve
Accessory motion
ability of joint surfaces to glide, roll and spin on each other
Paraffin treatment
mixture of melted paraffin wax and mineral oil at a specific temperature promotes relaxation and pain relief
Objective examination
Measurements taken by physical therapist/assistant or by mechanical device
Goniometer
instrument used to measure and document ROM
Fracture
break in a bone; commonly in the wrist or the hip
Passive Range of Motion (PROM)
amount of movement at a joint obtained by therapist moving the segment without assistance from the patient
