Pathology 1

• Acute: Sudden rapid onset
• Chronic: of longer duration, slow progression, shows little signs of change.
• Sub Acute: If the wound has adequately resolved (usually by day 6, but maybe earlier or later) The proliferative stage

• Signs: are the objective facts; what the therapist can observe
• Symptoms: are the subjective facts; what the patient feels

Low Oxygen resulting from: obstruction of respiratory tract, inadequate transport of oxygen across the lung tissue, inadequate transport of oxygen in the blood.

• Atrophy: shrinkage in size of cell by loss of substance dur to a lack of :nourishment, stimulation, disuse
• Dysplasia: abnormal proliferation showing abnormal features
• Metaplasia: conversion from one adult cell type to another

Temperature, mechanical force, electricity

• Reactions:
• Heat: Expands and dilates blood and lymph vessels, increases blood flow and nutrition, increase metabolic rate, softens connective tissues and increases extensibility, reduces joint stiffness, provides analgesia, reduces spasm.
• Cold: Contracts blood vessels, reduces metabolic activity, reduces effects of ischemic injury, reduces/prevents swelling, provides analgesia, stiffens connective tissues.

• indications:
• contraindications: statements about what kinds of treatment are not appropriate for the condition

Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation, Drugs

• Primary: little tissue loss, the edges of the would are closer together, little or no scar
• Secondary: greater tissue loss, the edges of the wound are farther apart, larger amounts of scar tissue.

Tendonitis and tenosynovitis, plantar fascitis and achilles tendonits, Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow, De Quervain's tenosynvitis and ITB Syndrome

• Lateral: Tennis Elbow
• Medial: Golfer's Elbow

Shoulder Tendonitis

Upper Patellar Tendonitis

Tightness of the palmar fascia and flexor digitorum superficialis

Running on hard surfaces can cause

Tightness of the Hip Abdutors can cause

Tibia Vara can cause

Has not broken through the skin

has broken through the skin

A freacture of the dital radius with/without ulnar styloid fracture, Usually caused by a "foosh" ("falling on out stretched hands") injury, The most common fracture in Adults over 50 years old

Is the progressive decrease in spongy bone density causing skeletal weakness, predisposes one to spontaneous fractures, chronic pain and deformities, includes a primary  type that affects post-menopausal women

A chronic disorder of skeleton whereby bone becomes softened and enlarged

A bacterial infection of the bone and bone marrow

Any dysfunction of the epiphyseal growth plate of maturing bone

Idiopathic necrosis of the capital femoral epiphysis (in the femoral head)

kyphosis angularis due anterior vertebral compressions

Usually is due to decreased brain dopamine due to substantia nigra damage, an adult onset disorder exhibiting rigidity, bradykinesia and resting tremors, is usually treated with L-Dopa/Levadopa/Carbidopa

A progressive degeneration of corticospinal tracts (upper motor neurons), A progressive degeneration of anterior horn cells (lower motor neuron), A progressive degeneration of Bulbar

A broad group of childhood onset motor or movement disorders, caused by perinatal (at birth) or postnatal (birth to 5 years of age) CNS damage, mostly caused in the country by perinatal hypoxia (lack of oxygen at birth) exhibited by spastic or athetoid or ataxic movement palsy

occurs primarily in children, is caused by the polio virus infection attacking spinal (& other) motor neurons, often causes permanent flaccid paralysis

inflammation of a joint, some kinds of arthritis are non-inflammatory, some diseases, not classified as rheumatic, have arthritis as major complaint,

an arthritis in which synovial membranes are attacked by the immune system.

a condition in which synovial joints, especially weight bearing joints, are irritated.  Directly related to wear and tear on joint structures.

systemic rheumatic disorder characterized by inflammation of axial skeleton and proximal joints.  Has a special affinity for the sacroiliac joints and lumbar spine.

an arthristis that is caused by monosodium urate crystals in the joints

Twisted neck, this is malposition fo the head due to unilateral shortening of the SCM and other cervical muscles (upper traps, scalenes, lev scap, semispinalis capitis, splenius capitis) Congential and acquired forms are seen

• APT (Anterior Pelvic Tilt)the ASIS lies in front  of the pubic crest.  The ASIS is significantly lower than the PSIS. Normally if the pelvis is tilted anteriorly, the spinal curves are increased.
• PPT (Posterior Pelvic Tilt) the ASIS lies behind the pubic crest.  The PSIS is lower than the ASIS. Normally if the pelvis is tiled posteriorly, the spinal curves are decreased
