Study Notes
Tissue Sensitivity to Pain
- Sensitivity to pain varies across tissues, with the skin being most sensitive and fibrocartilage and articular cartilage being least sensitive.
- Periosteum is the most sensitive tissue, followed by fibrous capsule and tendons.
Pain Responses in Specific Tissues
- Muscle injury (strain or tendinopathy) causes decreased active range of motion (AROM) and pain during resisted range of motion (RROM), with dull ache and sharp pain upon movement.
- Fascial strain results in decreased AROM and passive range of motion (PROM), often with palpatory subcutaneous adhesions.
- Ligament injury (sprain) presents with decreased AROM and PROM, pain at full end range of motion, and possible instability.
- Capsulitis shows painful AROM and PROM with pain upon palpation of the capsule, indicating potential muscle or tendon damage.
- Joint injury (arthropathy) may demonstrate painful and limited AROM and PROM, alongside crepitus.
- Joint dysfunction (subluxation) can appear as misalignment and abnormal PROM restrictions.
- Bone injury (fracture) typically reveals a history of trauma, with decreased and painful AROM, PROM, and pinpoint tenderness.
- Nerve injury provides symptoms like numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness due to nerve compression.
Stages of Healing
-
Acute Phase (1-5 days): Goals include pain relief, prevention of muscle atrophy, and re-establishing pain-free ROM. Key treatments involve METH (Movement, Elevation, Temperature, and Hydration). Protect injured tissue and implement relaxation techniques.
-
Post-Acute Phase (~2 days-6 weeks): Focus shifts to normalizing ROM and biomechanics, enhancing neuromuscular control, and preventing muscle atrophy. Emphasize warming up for activities and progressive exercise from isometric to sport-specific.
Learning Objectives
- Identify barriers to physical activity and develop strategies to enhance adherence to exercise prescriptions.
- Examine models geared towards behavior change, including socioeconomic impacts on physical activity.
Behavioral Change Models
- Transtheoretical Model: Describes stages of change (Pre-Contemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action, Maintenance) and focuses on individual readiness for change.
- Health Belief Model: Relies on the individual's perception of health benefits and barriers, stressing the effectiveness of perceived self-efficacy.
Stages in the Transtheoretical Model
- Pre-Contemplation: Lack of intention to change within 14 months; focus on providing information about benefits of exercise.
- Contemplation: Change expected in 6 months; help identify barriers and emphasize small incremental steps.
- Preparation: Action plan being formed; assist with goal-setting and self-monitoring.
- Action: Active change over 6 months; positive reinforcement and exploring diverse activities are crucial.
- Maintenance: Sustaining changes over 6 months to 5 years, reinforcing confidence to prevent relapse.
Socioeconomic Barriers to Physical Activity
- Factors like age, gender, race, and socioeconomic status significantly influence individuals' ability to engage in physical activity.
- Those with higher socioeconomic status have more resources, leading to greater engagement in physical activities.
- Practitioners should tailor physical activity plans based on patients' social characteristics and available resources.

Description
This quiz explores the stages of behavior change, specifically focusing on the Pre-Contemplation and Contemplation stages as they relate to exercise. Participants will learn about effective interventions and the importance of addressing misconceptions about physical activity. Gain insights into how these stages impact not only individual health but also the well-being of families.
