1 & 2 because the signs & symptoms are the same

In an eversion ankle sprain, is it more difficult to differentiate between a grade 1 and grade 11 injury or a grade II and grade III injury? Explain your response.

grade 2 and grade 3 because both are very similar with impaired function, "pop" heard, and the swelling

Because the 4 compartments of the lower leg are non-yielding, trauma to a compartment can result in increased pressure to the tissues contained within in it, including nerves and blood vessels. The condition is considered a medical emergency because of the potential for comprised neurovascular functions. Signs and symptoms include: ·a recent history of trauma (i.e., direct blow) ·increasing severe pain and swelling appear to be out of proportion to the clinical situation. ·a firm mass, tight skin (because it has been stretched to its limits) ·loss of sensation on the dorsal aspect between the great toe and second toe ·diminished pulse at the dorsalis pedis

The lower leg is divided into compartments. How does this impact injury to the lower leg? What is acute compartment syndrome? What are the signs and symptoms of an anterior acute compartment syndrome?

Foot: second metatarsal Leg: middle 1/3 of tibia Repetitive forces (compression) & repetitive stress in running, jumping, increased training, change in surface/footwear

What are the most common sites for stress fractures in the foot and lower leg? What factors contribute to the development of a stress fracture?

changing running distance, intensity, form, shoes, surface.

What factors contribute to medial tibial stress syndrome? Where will individuals with this injury have point tenderness on palpation?

physical conditioning, strengthening of extrinsic & intrinsic muscles, flexibility, footwear & protective equipment

What strategies would be appropriate in the prevention of foot, ankle, & lower leg injuries?

Which of the following statements is true? A. A sign of an Achilles tendon rupture is that the individual hears a "pop" in the posterior ankle. B. An individual with an Achilles tendon rupture will be able to balance on the affected leg. C. A suspected Achilles tendon rupture requires summoning of EMS D. Achilles tendon ruptures typically occur at the musculotendinous junction

The severe valgus deformity at the first MTP joint compromises the bony and soft tissue stability at the joint, increasing susceptibility to acute tension stress (such as the hyperextension force associated with a turf toe injury)

Why does hallux valgus make an individual more susceptible to turf toe?

It is excessive in pronation

Why is a hypermobile foot a predisposing factor for an eversion sprain?

Because of the absence of muscular or adipose padding, force is not dissipated and the periosteum receives the impact.

Why is the shin vulnerable to compression-type forces? What is the primary concern with repeated shin contusions?
