- Peyronie Disease (Abnormal scarring/plaque build-up in the penis) Right
Ans - Dupuytren's Contracture
A painful condition where pressure builds-up within a muscle compartment in
the body, usually d/t swelling, which can restrict blood flow and damage
muscles and nerves if not treated promptly.
*Often occurs in the legs after a serious injury like a fx and is considered a
medical emergency! Right Ans - ~ Compartment Syndrome ~
*Caused by pressure inside a closed space (mm compartment) d/t swelling,
usually from trauma or injury.
Sxs:
- Severe pain
- Tightness
- Swelling
- Numbness
- Weakness Right Ans - Compartment Syndrome
Abnormal growth of bone in soft tissues, such as muscles, tendons, or
ligaments.
,*A common complication of trauma and surgery. Right Ans - ~ Heterotopic
Ossification ~
Sxs:
- Pain or tenderness around the bone fragments
- Swelling around bone fragments
- Fever, usually high at night
- A lump/bump underneath the skin that is difficult to move Right Ans -
Heterotopic Ossification
A chronic pain condition where a person experiences severe, persistent pain
in a limb, often triggered by an injury, that is much greater than what would
be expected from the initial trauma Right Ans - ~ Complex Regional Pain
Syndrome (CRPS) ~
*The body has an extreme reaction to an injury causing ongoing pain and
dysfunction in the limb.
Sxs:
- swelling
- skin color changes (redness, paleness)
- temperature fluctuations in the affected area
- increased sensitivity to touch
- changes in hair and nail growth Right Ans - Complex Regional Pain
Syndrome
A fracture that hasn't healed for 9 months and hasn't shown signs of healing
for 3 months Right Ans - ~ Non-Union Fracture ~
Causes:
- instability of a bone
- inadequate immobilization
- failed surgical intervention
- bone infection Right Ans - Non-Union Fracture
Sxs:
- pain at the site of the break, even after the initial pain of the fracture has
passed Right Ans - Non-Union Fracture

______ ______. Right Ans - 1. Less
2. Foot Slap
Inadequate PF ASSIST could cause a _______ in ______ ______. Right Ans - 1.
Decrease
2. Toe Off
*DF is the action that is required at the ankle to prevent toe drag and avoid
foot slap.
Transverse plane malalignment could cause excessive _______ or _____ foot
contact, NOT foot slap. Right Ans - 1. Medial
2. Lateral
List 3 activities to be avoided with Acute Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Right
Ans - 1. Active and resisted wrist flexion, to reduce compression of the carpal
tunnel (would exacerbate symptoms)
2. Strengthening pinch and grip functions with the wrist in flexion
3. Applying direct pressure and cross-friction over the anterior aspect of the
wrist
What treatment strategy would be MOST appropriate for a patient who has
Acute Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? Right Ans - Maintaining a neutral wrist
position during work and other activities
A common condition that occurs when the median nerve in the wrist is
compressed Right Ans - ~ Carpal Tunnel Syndrome ~
Sxs:
