Terminology
Across
- 6. type of break in a bone caused by pressure and the bone collapses.Concentric: muscle shortens as it contracts.
- 8. a method or tool used to produce a therapeutic effect on human tissue.
- 12. a type of muscle contraction where the length of the muscle remains constant while generating force.
- 14. of Injury (MOI): the circumstances in which an injury occurs; for example, sudden deceleration, wounded by a projectile, or crushed by a heavy object.
- 17. strategic organization of training plans over time involving a cyclical approach.
- 19. process of stabilizing or aligning broken bones or damaged joints to facilitate healing.
- 20. fluid buildup within a joint.
- 22. a joint of the lower extremity that is the junction between the talus and the tibia and fibula; ankle joint.
- 24. subjective evidence of disease or physical disturbance.
- 27. anything that is a reason for a person not to receive a particular treatment or procedure because it may be harmful.
- 30. in directional terms, means toward the head.
- 31. a point where two bones meet; a joint.
- 34. filament model: explains muscle contraction as a result of thin actin filaments sliding past thick myosin filaments within muscle fibers, a process powered by the hydrolysis of ATP.
- 38. wasting away of tissue.
- 40. a manual therapy technique using suction cups to pull blood into the skin.
- 41. techniques: a manual therapy technique used in physical therapy to address soft tissue injuries and dysfunctions; involves using specialized tools to apply targeted pressure to muscles, tendons, and fascia, breaking down scar tissue and adhesions, reducing muscle tension, and promoting healing.
- 43. an objective and observable indication of a disease or condition.
- 44. a piece of felt used to control swelling around the malleolus after an ankle injury.
- 45. muscle lengthens while under load.
- 46. occurs when the outer end of the collarbone (clavicle) separates from the end (acromion) of the shoulder blade because of torn ligaments. This injury occurs most often from a blow to the top of the shoulder or a fall onto the shoulder.
- 48. an inward angulation of a distal segment of a bone or joint.
- 49. a type of muscle contraction where the resistance remains constant but the speed of movement varies.
- 50. tools commonly used to remove athletic tape.
- 51. Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA): a bacterial infection that can be resistant to several antibiotics.
Down
- 1. fibrous cartilage between the femur and tibia
- 2. rehabilitative exercise technique combining cryotherapy with active movement.
- 3. a taping technique used to stabilize the calcaneus as part of the ankle tape technique.
- 4. opposite side.
- 5. injury: injury with sudden onset.
- 7. inflammation of the tendons in the elbow.
- 8. three membranes that line the skull and enclose the brain (dura mater, arachnoid, and pia mater).
- 9. conditioning principle in which to improve physical fitness, you must progressively challenge the body by increasing the demands placed upon it.
- 10. interphalangeal joint (PIP): a hinge joint located in each finger, between the proximal and middle phalanx bones.
- 11. turning the palm upward
- 13. a close and harmonious relationship in which the people or groups concerned understand each other's feelings or ideas and communicate well.
- 15. a band of scar tissue that joins two surfaces not usually connected.
- 16. a general conditioning principle that stands for specific adaptations for imposed demands.
- 18. permanent tightening of muscles, tendons, skin or other soft tissues causing joint stiffness.
- 21. a type of muscle contraction in which the speed of the movement remains constant but the resistance varies.
- 23. a medical examination technique that involves feeling or pressing on parts of the body to detect the condition of underlying tissues.
- 25. the long bones of the foot.
- 26. a type of test used to quantify cardiovascular fitness.
- 28. a dangerous condition where there is a low level of sodium in the blood.
- 29. in directional terms, it means closer to the surface of the body.
- 32. the process of restoring a bone or joint to its natural position, such as after a fracture or dislocation.
- 33. an outward angulation of a distal segment of a bone or joint.
- 35. turning the hand upward
- 36. stands for Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan; way to document injuries and injury care.
- 37. the starting and ending points of tape application.
- 39. to supply with nerves.
- 42. a thermotherapy technique that utilizes sound waves.
- 47. black and blue skin discoloration due to hemorrhage.
