Document Summary

Kinesiology 2236b lecture 4: tissue characteristics and healing. Used to be called acute or chronic. Confusing because all injuries are technically acute something initiates them. At some point if injuries don"t heal they are termed chronic. Traumatic (acute) occurs suddenly and have clearly defined cause or onset. Occur when tissue loading is sufficient to cause sudden irreversible deformation of the tissue. Usually in high speed sports with or without high energy contact. Overuse injuries occurs slowly over time secondary to the repetitive dynamics of the sport or movement in. Repeated overloading, each incidence of which, alone, is not enough to cause irreversible deformation, question but which when accumulated over time exceeds the tissue threshold. Seen in aerobic sports that require lengthy training schedules or in technical sports where a movement is repeated numerous times. Extrinsic / external originating outside the anatomical limits of a part. Intrinsic / internal belonging to or lying within a given part.
