ligaments, cartilage, and interstitial tissue?
Type 1
_________ collagen can be found in hyaline cartilage and
vertebral discs. (Type)
Type 2
_________ is increased pressure caused by swelling
impedes the healing process, causes separation of tissues,
inhibits neuromuscular control, produces reflexive
neurologic changes, and impedes nutrition in the injured
joint.
a. Hemorrhage
b. Edema
c. Muscle Spasm
d. Compression
b. Edema
What type of fracture is similar to the splintering that occurs
to a tree twig that is bent to the point of breaking? This type
of fracture occurs most often in children whose bones are
still growing.
,a. oblique fracture
b. spinal fracture
c. comminuted fracture
d. greenstick fracture
d. greenstick fracture
This type of fracture occurs due to overuse or fatigue rather
than acute trauma.
a. oblique fracture
b. comminuted fracture
c. stress fracture
d. avulsion fracture
c. stress fracture
T or F: It is recommended that ATs dispense NSAIDs to
patients with an acute injury.
False
Regeneration of a nerve after an injury is a slow process.
What is the rate of regeneration of a nerve?
3-4 millimeters a day
This occurs when the rate of collagen production exceeds
the rate of collagen breakdown during the maturation phase
of healing.
a. Infection
b. Edema
c. Atrophy
d. Keloids
d. Keloids
This type of medication has both analgesic and antipyretic
effects, but does not have significant anti-inflammatory
capabilities.
a. Ibuprofen
b. Muscle relaxant
c. Acetaminophen
d. Naproxen sodium
c. Acetaminophen
,There are at least 16 collagen types in the body. However,
types I, II, and III make up what percentage of collagen in the
body?
a. 25% to 50%
b. 80% to 90%
c. 50% to 60%
d. 90% to 100%
b. 80% to 90%
When designing an effective rehabilitation program, it is
important for the athletic trainer to integrate several basic
components. These basic components can also be
considered the short-term goals of a rehabilitation program.
What are the components that should be included in the
short-term goals?
Restore full ROM
Reduce or Minimize Pain
Establish Core Stability
Incorporate appropriate functional progressions
In your own words, describe Wolff's law and how it applies to
bone healing.
Wolff's law of bone healing states that the bone and soft tissue
will respond to the physical demands, kind of like the SAID
Principle. Wolff's law explains that the remodeling of the bone will
occur along the line of tensile force from the physical demands
placed on it while healing.
What are the phases of healing? List and describe each
phase in a detailed yet concise way.
Inflammatory Phase: this phase is the initial portion of the injury
which causes inflammation to the primary injury site which
kickstarts the healing process.
Fibroblastic Phase: This phase is when microorganisms enter the
injury site such as macrophages which clean out the site.
, Repair Phase: this phase is the longest and uses microorganisms
to repair the cellular damage that has occurred.
Who must the athletic trainer work closely with and under the
supervision of with respect to designing rehabilitation and
reconditioning protocols?
a. physician
b. coach
c. physical therapist
d. patient
a. physician
Describe the condition myositis ossificans and why athletic
trainers should be aware of this condition.
Myositis Ossificans is a calcified bony prominence that forms due
to repetitive traumatic force applied to an area or a single
traumatic event that is mismanaged. AT's should be aware of this
because it could impede multiple factors for the patient (i.e.
ROM).
_________________ is a degenerative condition of bone and
cartilage in and about the joint.
a. Osteoporosis
b. Osteoarthrosis
c. Arthrosis
d. Osteochondral Defect
b. Osteoarthrosis
A male, high school wrestler sprains his right ankle at
practice today. The mechanism and the location of pain
suggests an inversion sprain. There is gross laxity with the
anterior drawer test and talar tilt test. The swelling is
immediate and severe over the lateral side of the ankle. The
athlete is unable to dorsiflex the foot and only has a few
degrees of plantar flexion. He is experiencing very little pain.
How would you grade the severity of this injury?
This injury is a grade 3 lateral ankle sprain due to the fact that the
athlete has immediate swelling and gross laxity is felt by the
clinician.
