Cards

Term
What order should you train your body?
Definition
Legs, Chest, arms, abs, neck
Term
Define laceration?
Definition
a cut, something that cuts skin, jagged
Term
Define an Abrasion
Definition
scrape- raspberry, terf
Term
Define an Incision
Definition
Splits the skin, smooth, (boxing hit above eye)
Term
Define a Puncture
Definition
a hole (fishhook, jabbed with something)
Term
Define avulsion
Definition
tisse ripped off (boxer biting someones ear off)
Term
Define a Blister
Definition
continuous rubbing over skin surface that causes a collection of fluid below or within epidermal layer, can be dangerous if blood filled--> dirrect line into blood stream, if you puncture it make sure you clean it so bacteria doesn't get in an infect.
Term
define a Contusion (bruise)
Definition
compression or crush injury of skin surface that produces bleeding under skin.
- result of sudden blow to body
- can be both deep and superficial
Term
What is a Hematoma?
Definition
pooling of blood in an area, a hematoma results from blood and lymph flow into surrounding tissue
-localization of **extravasated** (don't know what this word is suppose to be) blood into clot, encapsulated by connective tissue
- speed of healing dependent on the extent of damage
- can mineralize- can harden, calicifies-feels like bone
- ice helps healing process, if you heat too early-increases bleeding
- once bruise starts turning greenish yellow color put ice on it or heat
Term
What is tenosynovitis?
Definition
-Inflammation of synovial sheath (surrounds some tendons)
- In acute cases- rapid onset, crepitus, and diffuse swelling
- Chronic cases reuslt in thickening of tendon with pain and crepitus
Term
Define tenopathy
Definition
tenosynovitis or tendonitis
Term
What is a muscle spasm?
Definition
-painful involuntary contraction
- attributed to dehydration/electrolyte imbalance (magnesium, calcium, other)
Term
What are the two categories of muscle spasms? What are they?
Definition
Clonic- alternating involuntary muscular contractions and relaxations in quick succession

Tonic- ridig contraction that lasts a period of time
Term
What does RICES stand for?
Definition
Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation, Support
Term
Why is Rest good?
Definition
-allows healing process to begin
-minimum of 72 hours (grade 2-3)
- you still want the athlete to go to practice- schedual rehab outside of practice- physicological
Term
What does Ice do?
Definition
-decrease pain-numbs in nerve ending
- promote local constriction of cessels
- control hemorrhage
- lower metabolism
-reduce hypoxia
-reduce muscle gaurding(spasm)
-minimum 20 min. every hour- after 9-10 min. you will get a vaso-dilitation-->brings more blood to area to warm up-hunter's response
-minimum 3 days
-as long as there is swelling
- ecemosis that hasn't turned greenish yet
- bleeding
Term
Why is compression good?
Definition
-decrease hemorrhage and hematoma
-less fluid seepage; greater absorbtion
-reduces swelling
-method of application- wrap distal to proximal while increasing tension
-ice + wet wrap allows better penetration
-helps push fluid back into joint
Term
Why is elevation important?
Definition
-reduces internal bleeding
-reduces pooling of blood
-asists venous return
-recuces swelling
-elevate while treating and sitting
-elevate higher than heart
-optimal angle for good resolution of fluid is 75 degrees.
Term
what are some forms of support?
Definition
-Aircast
-Braces
-Crutches
Term
When is it ok to use heat?
Definition
- ecchymosis- color is gone
- swelling is gone
-redness- there's inflamation and heat is bad.
