(7) [CPA] Upper and Lower Extremity Counterstrain Flashcards
What are the steps for counterstrain?
Where is the tensor fasciae latae?
How do you treat the lateral trochanter (tensor fasciae latae)?
Pt. position = supine or prone
Doc = ipsilateral to TP
Positioning = pt.s knee is ABDUCTED and slightly FLEXED
Where is the liotibial band?
How do you treat the lateral trochanter (IT band)?
Pt position = supine or prone
Doc = ipsilateral to TP
Positioning = pt’s hip/thigh is ABDUCTED and slightly FLEXED until the tenderness is less than or equal to 70% reduction
Where are the lateral hamstring TPs?
Distal aspect of the biceps femoris near attachment to the posterolateral surface of the fibular head
How do you treat lateral hamstring TPs?
Pt position = supine or prone
Doc = ipsilateral to TP
Positioning = pt/s knee is FLEXED and TIBIA is EXTERNALLY ROTATED with slight abduction; compression on the calcaneus is added to plantar flex the ankle
Where are the medial hamstring TPs?
How do you treat medial hamstring TPs?
Pt position = supine or prone
Doc = ipsilateral to TP, grasp lateral ankle/foot to control the lower leg
Positioning = pt.s knee is FLEXED and the tibia is INTERALLY ROTATED with slight ADDUCTION; compression on the calcaneus is added to plantar flex the ankle

How do you treat lateral meniscus/Lateral (fibular) collateral ligament?
Pt position = supine
Doc = ipsilateral, seated
Positioning = Pts thigh is ABDUCTED so leg is off table, FLEX KNEE 35-40 degrees, tibia is abducted and extrenally or internally rotated until tenderness is reduced by at least 70%
How do you treat the medial meniscus/medial (tibial) collateral ligament?
Pt position = supine
Doc = ipsilateral, seated
Positioning = pts thigh is ABDUCTED so leg is off table, flex knee 35-40 degrees, tibia is adducted and internally rotated until the tenderness is reduced by more than 70%
How do you treat anterior cruciate?
Pt position = supine
Doc = ipsilateral
Positioning = TOWEL/PILLOW under distal femur for fulcrum, apply force to PROXIMAL TIBIA to translate tibia posteriorly on distal femur until tenderness is reduced by 70%
How do you treat posterior cruciate ligament?
Pt position = supine
Doc = ipsilateral
Positioning = TOWEL/PILLOW under proximal tibia for fulcrum, apply force to distal femur to translate femur posteriorly on proximal tibia until the tenderness is reduced by 70%
Where is the popliteus m.?
How do you treat the popliteus m.?
Pt position = prone
Doc = ipsilateral
Positioning = pts KNEE FLEXED and TIBIA INTERNALLY ROTATED until the tenderness is reduced by 70% or more
How do you treat extension ankle (gastrocnemius)?
Pt position = prone
Doc = ipsilateral
Positioning = pts KNEE FLEXED and DORSUM OF FOOT on doc’s thigh, add a COMPRESSIVE FORCE through calcaneus until the tenderness is reduced by 70%

Where are the TPs for tibialis anterior?
How do you treat medial ankle (tibialis anterior): inversion TP?
Pt position = LATERAL RECUMBENT with PILLOW UNDER AFFECTED LEG
Positioning= Apply INVERSION force to foot and ankle with slight internal rotation until the tendernes is reduced by at least 70%
