Additional Notes (Sured points) Flashcards
One day status post non-cemented total hip replacement to begin
gait training. Most likely weight bearing status would be
Toe touch weight bearing
Bear up to five pounds of weight on her involved extremity. The
patient’s weight bearing status would be best described as:
Partial weight bearing
Strengthening activity for the hip extensors that will improve the
patient’s ability to independently reposition in bed. However, the
patient does not have adequate strength to perform bridging, best
exercise that can be performed is
isometric gluteal sets
Precautionary movement for patient with post-op hip replacement
Hip Adduction
A 75 y/o inpatient received a cemented total hip replacement 2
days ago. The PT plan of care should have as its #1 priority:
Pt education regarding positions and movements to avoid
One purpose of CPM placement after surgery is to:
Decrease postoperative pain
Surgeon indicates that he would like the pt to continue to wear a
knee immobilizer in order to help prevent hip dislocation. The
primary rationale for this action is:
The knee immobilizer reduces hip FLEX by maintaining knee EXT
Correct use of the quad cane should be in patients with left hip
fracture
Using a quad cane on the right with the longer
legs positioned away from the patient
Patient is undergoing physical therapy for post-op periacetabular
osteotomy for acetabular dysplasia of the (R) hip. At which phase
of the rehabilitation protocol can the patient apply < 20lbs of their
body weight on the affected LE?
Phase 1: 0-6 weeks
This deformity is commonly seen in femoroacetabular
impingement and is characterized by an abnormal/aspherical
morphology of the proximal femur.
Cam deformity
In total hip arthroplasty, this surgical approach is the most
preferred due to the sparing of the hip abductor muscles.
Posterior Approach
Considered the first sign of hip dysplasia is adolescence and
young adults
Limping/Antalgic gait
Indicated for patients with advanced osteoarthritis for patients less than 60 years old. The main advantages of this procedure is the preservation of femoral bone stock and allows patients to return to a more normal walking pattern.
Hip Resurfacing
In garden classification, incomplete and minimally displaced.
Garden I Fracture
In garden classification, complete and non displaced.
Garden 2 Fracture
