Diagnostics
The removal of a small piece of living tissue for microscopic examination
What is Biopsy
Diagnostic imaging method involving the use of high-frequency sound waves to generate images of structures in the body, such as muscles, ligaments, and displaced or dislocated structures.
What is sonography
A drug that reduces inflammation.
What is anti-inflammatory
medial collateral ligament
What is MCL
The stretching or tearing of a muscle or tendon, the latter of which connects muscle to bone
What is Strain
A graphic recording of the contraction of a muscle as a result of electrical stimulation
What is electromyogram (EMG)
Incision to the tendon, usually to repair a deformity caused by a shortened muscle.
What is tenotomy
A drug prescribed to suppress smooth-muscle contractions of the bladder, stomach, or intestine.
What is antispasmodic or anticholinergic
Deep Tendon Reflex
DTR
Tumor of the muscle
What is Myoma
Evaluation of involuntary muscular responses with a reflex hammer. Patients under heavy sedation or in a deep coma do not show these reflexes.
What is deep tendon reflexes (DTR)
Diagnostic imaging technique that uses electromagnetic waves to create images of the inside of the body. X-rays check for structural abnormality or disease.
What is Radiography
A drug that relieves pain; includes nonprescription pain relievers, such as aspirin, and prescription pain relievers, such as hydrocodone.
What is analgesic
PCN
What is penicillin
Myocardio
What is heart muscle.
A noninvasive scanning test that involves use of an electromagnetic field and radio waves to visualize soft-tissue structures.
What is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Surgical repair of a muscle through plastic surgery.
What is myoplasty
A drug that, in moderate doses, slows down the central nervous system, relieves pain, and induces sleep. Taken in excess, narcotics produce unconsciousness, stupor, coma, and possibly death.
What is narcotic
DMD
What is Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Inability to coordinate voluntary muscle activity; characterized by shaky, unsteady movements.
what is ataxia
Diagnostic imaging technique in which a radioactive substance and a special camera visualize structures and functions in the body. The radioactive substance is injected into or swallowed by the patient.
What is nuclear medicine imaging (NMI)
Most common first-aid treatment for muscular injuries; often referred to as “RICE.”
What is Rest Ice Compression Elevation (RICE)
A group of drugs with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic (AN-tee-pigh-RET-ik) (fever-reducing) properties. Aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen are common over-the-counter (OTC) NSAIDs. This group of drugs is set apart from other drugs that have the same properties because they are nonsteroidal.
What is nonsteroidal
RMS
What is rhabdomyosarcoma
Extends neck; elevates, adducts, and rotates scapula.
What is Trapezious
