Across
- Pertaining to the nerves and muscles.
- Complete displacement of joint surfaces.
- Inflammation of the plantar fascia; associated with overuse of acute foot injury.
- Abnormal adherence of collagen fibers to surrounding structures during immobilization following trauma or as a complication of surgery which restricts normal elasticity of the structures involved.
- Condition of rapidly rising internal body temperature that overwhelms the body's mechanisms for release of heat and could result in death if not cared for appropriately.
- To shrivel or shrink form disuse, as in muscular atrophy.
- Injury resulting from a pull or torsion to the muscle or tendon that causes various degrees of stretch or tear to the muscle or tendon tissue.
- An approach to therapeutic exercise based on the principles of functional human anatomy and neurophysiology.
- Inflammation of the synovial lining of a joint.
- Crescent shaped cartilage, usually pertaining to the knee joint; also known as "cartilage." There are two menisci in the knee, medial and lateral. These work to absorb weight within the knee and provide stability.
- Network of nerves originating from the cervical vertebrae and running down to the shoulder, arm, hand and fingers.
- Study of the nature and cause of injury.
- Inflammation of a vein.
- A contusion or bruise to any muscle resulting in intramuscular bleeding. No other injury should be called a ________________.
- Injury of the fingertip in which the extension tendon is avulsed off the distal phalanx.
- Inflammation of a muscle.
- An injury to a muscle and tissues caused by a blow from a blunt object, typically resulting in a bruise.
- Inflammation of a nerve.
- A concentric or eccentric muscular contraction that results in movement of a joint or body part, as in lifting a weight.
- A mircotrauma or overuse injury caused by stress. The four stages are: 1) tendentious with temporary thickening of the bursa and rotator cuff, 2) fiber dissociation in the tendon with permanent thickening of the bursa and scar formation, 3) a partial rotator cuff tears of less than 1 cm, and 4) a complete tear of 1 cm or more.
- Condition when the first digit of a toe is at a different angle than the remaining digits of the same toe.
- A treatment with use of cold.
- Tear of the ulnar collateral ligament of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb
- A primary stabilizing ligament within the center of the knee joint that prevents hyperextension and excessive rotation of the joint. A complete tear of the ______________ necessitating reconstruction could require up to 12 months of rehabilitation.

Down
- Involves the nerves and is usually the result of a trauma to the foot, causing inflammation and sharp pain, usually between the third and fourth toes.
- A mild injury in which ligament, tendon, or other musculoskeletal tissue may have been stretched or contused, but not torn or otherwise disrupted.
- The body's natural response to injury in which the injury site might display various degrees of pain, swelling, heat, redness, and/or loss of function.
- A lack of an adequate amount of fluid in the body; may be accompanied by dry mouth, thirst, constipation, concentrated urine or fever. Dehydration occurs when a person's body water content has decreased to a dangerously low level. Water accounts for 60% of a man's weight and 50% of a woman's.
- A severe injury in which tissue has been significantly, and in some cases totally, torn or otherwise disrupted causing a virtual total loss of function.
- A shortening of the muscle as it develops tension and contracts to move a resistance.
- Partial dislocation of a joint. The term usually implies that the joint can return to its normal position without formal reduction.
- A moderate injury when musculoskeletal tissue had been partially, but not totally torn which causes appreciable limitation in function of the injured tissue.
- A steroid hormone that is used to treat many autoimmune or inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis.
- A fluid-filled sac that is located in areas where friction is likely to occur, then minimizes the friction; for example between a tendon and a bone.
- A connective tissue sheath consisting of fibrous tissue and fat which unites the skin to the underlying tissue.
- Jarring injury of the brain resulting in dysfunction. It can be graded as mild, moderate or severe depending on loss of consciousness, amnesia and loss of equilibrium.
- A painful, involuntary spasmodic contraction.
- Movement of any extremity away from the midline of the body. This action is achieved by an abductor muscle
- Extreme extension of a limb or body part.
- Away from, pushing toward the center.
- Pinching together of the supraspinatus muscle and other soft tissue in the shoulder. The most common (throwing) arm injury, which represents many pathologies and generally involves supraspinatus overuse.
- A catch-all syndrome describing pain in the shin that is not a fracture or tumor and cannot be defined otherwise.
- Inflammation of one or more vertebrae.
- An electrical modality that transmits a sound wave through an applicator into the skin to the soft tissue in order to heat the local area for relaxing the injured tissue and/or disperse edema.
- On either side of, and acting as a radius of movement of, a hinge joint, as of the elbow, knee and wrist.
- Inflammation of the tendon and/or tendon sheath, caused by chronic overuse or sudden injury.
- Inflammation of the patellar ligament; also known as "jumper's knee."
- Muscular contraction in which tension is developed but no mechanical work is done. There is no appreciable joint movement and the overall length of the muscle stays the same.
- Smooth, slippery substance preventing two ends of bones from rubbing together and grating.
- Tumor-like mass produced by an accumulation of coagulated blood in a cavity.
- Injury resulting from the stretch or twist of the joint and causes various degrees of stretch of tear of a ligament or other soft tissue at the joint.
