      Hello Emma,
      No, i don't have any extra MTI marking scheme, but I create ALL the anatomy files I gave you are based on how I would answer the questions. So, the marking scheme is your notes. Nothing is different or tricky.
      So, let me answer your questions:

      A. Soft tissue injuries result in inflammation. Describe what happens at each stage of the inflammatory response and explain why. (7 marks)
      For the answer, just go into the notes I gave you about the immune system, look at the inflammation part and this is what you are expected to answer.

      B. Explain the difference between a sprain and a strain (3 marks)
      There is a whole section on the Virtual Campus on pathology and massage recommendations.
      Sprain https://bodyologymassagecourses.co.uk/forum/module/34191-sprain
      Strain https://bodyologymassagecourses.co.uk/forum/module/34190-strain
      As you can read, there are differences between the two. Strain is injury to muscles or tendon, sprain is injury to ligament, ect.

      C. Describe how you would massage these conditions and give your reasons why (5 marks)
      The same section above (strain and sprain) also have the massage recommendations, You have also done those on homework, and you did it well.

      With as much as I would love to support, there is the issue of duplications. yes, you are right. Sometimes the marking scheme are 'odd' but unfortunately I don't have those from MTI, otherwise I would give it to students.
      Hope this is ok ish.
      Any problem or clarification? Please comment below and will help you.

        Hi Dror,

        This is my answer from the notes for the first part of the question but it just feels like far too much information for 7 marks. My concern is that I try to learn all of this detail then forget parts and the parts I forget are the parts that the 7 marks are actually for. If that makes sense.

        • There are two major stages in inflammation.
        • Acute inflammation – initial stage – usually short-term lasting for a few days. Local contraindication to massage.
        • Caused by infection, tissue damage (sprain or strain), toxins and more
        • Damaged cells secrete chemicals such as histamines which cause a local dilation of arteries. This causes more plasma to filtrate into the tissue resulting in heat, redness, swelling, pain and reduced function of the area. Blood vessels also increase their permeability so white blood cells can squeeze out towards the damaged area. Blood clotting then occurs around the inflamed area and seals it. Once the tissue is clean there is either regeneration of new tissue or scar tissue develops.
        • Chronic inflammation – long-term response which occurs if the acute inflammation cannot solve the issue.
        • Formation of abnormal collagen fibre (a scar) which reduces tissue elasticity, reduces fluid and blood movement which causes an increased waste production accumulation. The area can be pale, stiff and have a lack of blood. Chronic inflammation can stay for months and years without any apparent resolution.

        Or is this the amount of information expected for this part of the question?

      • Dror Steiner
        By Dror Steiner

        Very good answer. It doesnt have to be long, just full of those details. At the end, every long questions should be about 1 to 2 pages. your writing is more concise but includes all the needed points. Its not an exam about 'how to elaborate your knowledge' but about just giving the details you know. Short is good. One word: try not to be too short...Describe things as you can, but you are in the point of good balance.

                        I know it looks contradicted but let me explain by having an example. An example of a skin contraindication will be an open wound. This is easy to understand. The way I'll work with this condition is to provide 'inderect' massage techniques such as stretching, oscillation and rocking, so I can still give massage but without the 'touching'
