Tendinopathy is a chronic condition characterized by pain and dysfunction in a tendon due to overuse, degeneration, or failed healing response. It often requires a multifaceted treatment approach including rest, physical therapy, and sometimes medical or surgical interventions to restore tendon health and function.
Concept
Tendonitis is an inflammation of a tendon, often caused by repetitive motion or overuse, leading to pain and tenderness near a joint. Effective management typically involves rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), and physical therapy to prevent recurrence and restore function.
Biomechanics is the study of the mechanical principles of living organisms, particularly their movement and structure. It integrates principles from physics and biology to understand how forces interact within a biological context, influencing the design of prosthetics, sports performance, and injury prevention.
Inflammation is the body's complex biological response to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants, and is a protective attempt to remove the injurious stimuli and initiate the healing process. While acute inflammation is a vital part of the immune response, chronic inflammation can contribute to various diseases, including arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers.
The musculoSkeletal System is an organ system that enables humans to move using the muscular and Skeletal Systems, providing form, support, stability, and movement to the body. It consists of bones, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissues, working together to facilitate motion and maintain posture.
Anatomical structures refer to the organized parts and systems that make up living organisms, ranging from microscopic cells to complex organs and systems. Understanding these structures is crucial for studying physiology, diagnosing diseases, and developing medical treatments.
Tendon injuries occur when the fibrous connective tissues that attach muscle to bone become damaged due to overuse, trauma, or degenerative changes, leading to pain and impaired function. Effective management often involves rest, physical therapy, and sometimes surgical intervention to restore tendon integrity and function.
Pain management is a multidisciplinary approach aimed at reducing discomfort and improving the quality of life for individuals experiencing acute or chronic pain. It involves a combination of pharmacological treatments, physical therapy, psychological support, and lifestyle modifications tailored to the specific needs of the patient.
Rehabilitation is a process aimed at enabling individuals to reach and maintain their optimal physical, sensory, intellectual, psychological, and social functional levels. It involves a multidisciplinary approach that includes medical, therapeutic, and social interventions to improve quality of life and independence.
Orthopedics is a branch of medicine focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing disorders related to the musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. It involves both surgical and non-surgical interventions to treat trauma, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders.
Shoulder impingement occurs when the rotator cuff tendons are compressed during shoulder movements, leading to pain and restricted motion. It is commonly caused by repetitive overhead activities, poor posture, or anatomical variations that reduce the subacromial space.
