Answer:

The cast caused an atrophy in Kendra's leg muscle.

Explanation:

One of the most common causes of muscle atrophy is lack of muscle use. Since Kendra's leg was immobilized by the cast, the muscles in this leg were left unused, which led to muscle atrophy. In other words, when a limb gets in a cast the muscles atrophy due to disuse. Loss of muscle mass can easily be observed after removing the cast and comparing it with the healthy opposite limb, as happened with Kendra.

When your leg is in a cast for a long time, that causes the muscle to atrophy. Because Kendra was unable to use her leg, she lost muscle mass and muscle strength because she wasn't working that leg muscle.

tester [92]

Answer:

Neuropathic and chronic

Explanation:

Pain is a body's defensive response, but it can also work wrongly or exaggeratedly by characterizing a disease: chronic pain. When the brain interprets that pain is not being "resolved", it becomes even more "sensitive" to pain stimuli, picking them up more intensely. The recruitment of another nervous system called autonomic makes the pain even more "rooted" and difficult to resolve. The pain system can also get sick, leading to chronic pain. In short, chronic pain is a pain that persists for months and even years.

Neuropathic pain is a type of chronic pain that occurs when the sensory nerves of the central and / or peripheral nervous system are injured or damaged. This type of problem is present in up to 10% of the population and can be disabling, causing different sensations of pain.

A patient who has a long history of diabetes mellitus and has developed diabetic neuropathy for more than 25 years and is without advanced pain at this time is likely to have both types of pain.
