Russ Exam 1

raising a body part

systematic process that allows the clinician to make a clinical judgment (impression or diagnosis)

moving sole of foot inward at ankle

brachial plexus

move freely because bones are separated and enclosed in joint cavity

bone is crushed

out and stays out

what do you always do first

moving arm in circle around shoulder

what patient describes

most severe nerve injury

moving sole of foot outward at ankle

moving body part forward, parallel to ground

direct blow to tissue

normal vs. abnormal

synovial fluid allows sliding which permits movement

cavity filled with lubricant, or synovial fluid

a subjective complaint that is noted by the person w/ a disorder

middle adulthood

fragment of bone chipped away from the main bone

triage; determines the priority of a treatment

an epiphyseal plate fracture; a common injury seen in adolescence

moving limb away from midline of body

palpation; important to know what you are touching

a manifestation that is noted by an observer

joint surrounded by fibrous capsule and supported by ligaments

lymph nodes are located near vascular structures

there are five types of epiphyseal injuries

what you see, feel, and test w/ measurable results

anatomical position: standardized position either standing or supine

lubricates the joint cavity, reduces friction, and provides nutrients

synovial joints help muscles and tendons glide smoothly over bones

cervical plexus

temporary loss of nerve function

tanner stages: a widely used system that describes the 5 stages of pubertal development

bones are united by fibrous tissue or cartilage

bone has been twisted apart; rotational force

layer of resilient cartilage covers surface or opposing bones; receives nourishment from synovial fluid

bone is hard, rigid, and very dense

what age range is rotator cuff injuries most common?

ligaments are fibrous bands running directly from one bone to another

break caused by abnormal trauma to a bone; repetitive trauma

straightening limb at joint

moving body part backward, parallel to gorund

anatomical planes: sagittal

the most important part of evaluating a pt

lowering a body part

muscles and fat are significant for weight increase in infants and children

syn. joints are located in areas of potential friction, for ex: subacromial bursa of shoulder

turning forearm so that palm is down

clinician determines the severity, nature, and stage of an injury

bone and cartilage are specialized forms of connective tissue

fracture at a diagonal angle to the bone

signs are observable and symptoms are subjective

bursa: enclosed sac filled with synovial fluid

upper motor neuron lesions

bone breaks into many fragments

cartilage cushions bones and gives smooth surface to facilitate movement

fracture of chondral cartilage on end of a long bone; BAD

a collection of clinical signs, symptoms, and data

out and goes back

what age range is osteoporosis most common?

has tough, firm consistency, yet is flexible

anatomical planes: frontal

skeleton is bony framework of body

joints, or articulations, are places of union of two or more bones

turning forearm so that palm is up

when synovial membranes is irritated, it produces LESS synovial fluid

phrenic nerve

injury to ligament or capsule

slightly movable, for example vertabrae

older adulthood

immovable, for example, sutures in skull

injury to muscle or tendon

type 2-75% is the most common epiphyseal injury

adulthood

childhood

bone mass starts to decrease at the age of 40

infant

adolescence

bending and incomplete break of a bone; most often seen in children

bending at the limb joint

comorbidity; coexistence of two or more disorders

anatomical planes: transverse/horizontal

moving head around central axis

moving limb toward midline of body

lumbar plexus

measures ROM

lower motor neuron lesions

what age range is epiphyseal plate injury most common?

ligaments strengthen joints and help prevent movement in undesirable directions

occurs straight across the bone

what epiphyseal plate injury has the worst prognosis and is the most uncommon

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act mandated EMR/EHR

what age range is growth plate injury most common?

SOAP= subjective, objective, assessment, and plan
