Document Summary
Case study: short answers pertaining to the injury, rehab in 3 different days (different stages, for each phase give 10 goals to achieve in that phase, 5 treatment for each phase, table provided. Primary and secondary injury: mast cells are the first activated. * this does not work for completely torn ligaments, surgery is necessary for complete ruptures because it cannot heal itself. Scar tissue begins forming 3-4 days post injury. Scar formation may take months, only 95% strength of original tissue: collagen maturation: re-organization of collagen on-going remodeling process, tensile strength of scar is proportional to, density of collagen fibers. Wolff"s law: tissue adaptation to imposed demands, mechanical loading (running, walking, training) response adaptive change hypertrophy increased tissue strength. Involves a direct attempt by the cortical bone to re-establish itself after interruption without the formation of a fracture callus: not common naturally- usually from surgical fixation, uses a pin or plate to heal the bone.
