Today’s Objectives
• To describe the distinguishing factors of overuse conditions
• To discuss the common overuse conditions
• To describe the mechanism of common overuse conditions
• To identify fracture classification schemes

Causes of Overuse Conditions
• Intrinsic
1. Poor flexibility
2. Weakness (inadequate conditioning or rehabilitation)
3. Alignment (structure)
04/20/234
Causes of Overuse Conditions
• Extrinsic
1. Training errors
2. Equipment
3. Technique (skill mechanics)
04/20/235
Common Overuse Conditions
• Tendinitis
• Bursitis
• Synovitis
04/20/236
Tendinitis
• Definition
• Review tendon structure
1. Strong, dense connective tissue
2. Callagenous tissue
• Fatigues w/repetitive loading
• Occurs at skeletal connection site
04/20/237
Tendinitis
• S/Sx
1. Insidious onset
2. Progression of condition
3. ?’s - changes in extrinsic factors
4. ?’s - activity that causes pain
5. Swelling, redness, warmth
6. Tenderness
7. Crepitus
04/20/238
Tendinitis
• Common sites
1. Lower extremity
2. Upper extremity
04/20/239
Bursitis
• Definition
• Anatomy of “potential space”
• Problem areas
• Mechanism
04/20/2310
Bursitis
• S/Sx
1. Insidious or acute onset 2. Vague Sx (local at onset) 3. Deep tenderness
4. ROM
5. Night pain
04/20/2311
Bursitis
• Common sites
1. Lower extremity activities
2. Upper extremity activities
04/20/2312
Capsular Synovitis
• Definition• Synovial membrane• Sx similar to bursitis,
but more diffuse
04/20/2313
Capsular Synovitis
• S/Sx
1. Insidious, subsequent joint injury
2. Pain throughout joint, even at rest
3. Redness, warmth, swelling
4. Guarding
5. NO specific area of tenderness
6. ROM limited
04/20/2314
Fracture Classifications
• Factors: -
1. Location relative to rest of bone
2. Shape, direction & magnitude
3. Duration of onset• Lay terms/names
04/20/2315
Fracture Classifications Location
1. Diaphyseal (diaphysis)
2. Epiphyseal (epiphyseal line)
3. Articular fractures (articular cartilage)
04/20/2316
Fracture ClassificationsSeverity
1. Incomplete
2. Nondisplaced
3. Displaced
04/20/2317
Fracture ClassificationsShape
1. Depressed
2. Comminuted
3. Transverse
4. Compressive
04/20/2318
Fracture ClassificationsShape
5. Spiral
6. Greenstick
04/20/2319
Fracture Classification Other
Avulsion
04/20/2320
Fracture ClassificationOther
• Stress fractures (reactions)
1. Lower extremity
2. Initial findings nonspecific
3. Mimic soft tissue injuries
4. External stress
04/20/2321
Evaluation
• Bump test
• Percussion test
• Squeeze test
• Axial compression test
