Patho pt.1
This term describes when a patient’s pain or paresthesia travels farther away from the spine during movement testing, such as when neck extension increases tingling into the hand.
peripheralization
nerve roots that are most commonly affected by cervical radiculopathy
C6, C7
Name a special test that tests a meniscal tear
When a patient’s distal symptoms, such as tingling in the fingers, retract toward the neck during a movement like cervical flexion or traction, this positive sign indicates a reduction in mechanical nerve stress.
centralization
2 typical signs and symptoms of radiculopathy
pain (sharp or burning), numbness, pins and needles, muscle weakness, weakened reflexes, increased pain with certain neck movements
ICF category for labral repair
motor coordination
This phenomenon occurs when a nerve is compressed at two or more locations along its course, such as cervical root compression combined with median nerve entrapment at the carpal tunnel.
double crush (double compression) syndrome
cells that can help damaged nerves regenerate and restore function
Schwann cells
Precautions for posterolateral THA
no hip flexion < 90, adduction >0, IR <0
This type of neural injury results from stretching the nerve beyond its elastic limit, potentially disrupting axoplasmic flow; it often occurs with whiplash or during neural tension testing.
tensile nerve injury
The nervous tissue with limited regenerative capacity
central nervous tissue
name the injury:
- pain localized to the inferior pole of the patella
- Load-related pain that increases with the demand on the knee extensors
- Pain occurs instantly with loading and usually ceases almost immediately when the load is removed
- Pain is rarely experienced in a resting state
Patellar tendinopathy
A common mechanism in cervical radiculopathy, this type of injury involves localized pressure on a nerve root or peripheral nerve, leading to ischemia, demyelination, and sensory-motor deficits.
compressive nerve injury
regeneration rate of peripheral nervous tissue
1 inch per month or 1 mm per day
List the MMT grades
- 5+ = complete rom against gravity with max resistance
- 4 = complete rom against gravity with mod resistance
- 3+ = complete rom against gravity with min resistance
- 3 = complete rom against gravity
- 3- = some but not complete rom against gravity
- 2+ = initiates motion against gravity
- 2 = complete rom with gravity eliminated
- 2- = initiates motion if gravity is eliminated
- 1 = evidence of slight contractility but no joint motion
- 0 = no contraction palpated
