Terminology
O Atrophy- wasting away of muscle girth and
weakening of muscle due to lack of use
O Contracture- shortening of muscle length
due to immobilization
O Secondary Injury- other injuries associated
with an original injury due to collateral
damage, inappropriate care, infection, or
returning to activity too soon

that arise from changing the body’s
mechanics due to injury
