A 
Acute/protected motion phase

20
Q

how do assess the transverse tarsal ROM

A

single leg stance hands on hips 1 minute

- number of errors eyes open and closed (B)

23
Q

what are some validated functional measures of ankle sprains

A
  1. variety of hop tests (2x timed 5m figure 8, timed 10x side hop, timed 6m cross, timed square hop all planes, 3x lateral hop for distance, triple crossover)
  2. 40m walk or run for time
  3. shuttle run
  4. agility multiple hop test
24
Q

How do your measure subtalar joint motion

A

Rear foot calcaneus motion

25
Q

what manual techniques have demonstrated value in treating lateral ankle sprains

A

Manual lymph drainage

joint mobilization

26
Q

What motions should you check prior to manipulation the cuboid

A

inversion and plantar flexion should be full

27
Q

Describe he strength of evidence for acute and post acute phases

A
  1. acute - strong evidence fore exercise and rehab- grade A (strong agreement of literature
  2. post acute - therapeutic exercise conflicting evidence and clinical expertise (D and F strength)
28
Q

how can you decrease pronation with ankle stretches

A

varus wedge of the forefoot

29
Q

What modalities are most supported by the literature with acute lateral ankle sprains

A
  • Cryo A -strong level - of support
  • US grade recommendation to not use
  • electro and laser - D - conflicting
  • shortwave diathermy - C - weak
30
Q

What does the literature indicate early weight bearing

A

Strong evidence of support grade A

31
Q

Joint mobs and manipulation are most affective in what phase of LAS recovery

A

post acute - grade A - recommendation

32
Q

what patients are most likely to benefit from manual therapy following lateral ankle sprain

A
  • post acute
  • worse symptoms with standing
  • worse symptoms in the evening
  • navicular drop test 5 mm or greater
  • hypomobility of the distal tib/fib joint
33
Q

How do we use CPGs in patient care

A
  • identify risk factors
  • DD
  • interactions that are clinically effective and patient subgrouping
  • prognosis
34
Q

what are the primary risk factors for lateral ankle sprains

A
  1. history of ankle sprains
  2. do not use external support
  3. do not warm up properly
  4. do not have normal DF ROM
  5. do not participate in balance or proprioception prevention program
