BE POSITIVE Flashcards
Glossopharyngeal breathing is used for who
People with weakness of the muscles of inspiration
Like a high cervical SCI
Prime mover in scapular elevation and upward rotation
Upper trap is prime mover!
Prime mover in shoulder retraction and elevation and downward rotation
Rhomboids
Best couple for rotating scapular upward
Upper trap and SA
Upper trap pulls up
Lower SA pulls out
Lower trap function
Depress and upwardly rotate the scap
Tenderness with palpation
Painful arc with PROM
Protective mm spasms
Empty end feel
ACUTE bursitis
Volkmann ischemic contracture is what
A nerve injury resulting from the compressions of fluid, producing a deformed limb
Thrombophlebitis of saphenous vein would produce what s/s
Generalized leg pain
Swelling
Increased temp
Bluish discoloration
Anterior compartment syndrome - presentation
Blunt trauma is cause
Presents with sensory deficits like numbness, tngling, coolness of exremity
What can be done to reduce thickness of hypertrophic scar
Pressure garments worn 23 hrs/day
Clasp knife occurs as a result of injury to waht
Descending motor pathways from cortex or brainstem
Cogwheel resistance to passive ROM results from lesions of the
BG
Also see tremors with BG issue
Neurapraxia =
Blockage that stops or slows conduction
Recovery is possible
Axonotmesis =
Neural tube is intact
Axonal damage has occured and wallerian degeneration
May need surgical intervention
Neurotmesis involves what
Total loss of axonal function
Disruption of neural tube
Surgery usually required
What happens when using intermittent pneumatic compression during the inflation (compression) phase to arterial flow, venous flow and lymphatic pressure
Increase in interstitial pressure and venous blood flow
During compression - arterial flow is reduced, but venous and lymphatic are increased
Tight anterior capsule limits IR or ER
ER
Tight posterior capsule limits IR or ER
IR
Infraspinatus and __ action
Teres MINOR!
ER
Liver dysfunction ss
Jaundice Dark urine Clay colored stool Easy bruising Right shoulder pain
Pancreatic dysfunction - which shoulder
Left shoulder
Hinged knee brace- commonly used with
MCL or LCL injuries
Thrust unloader brace is used for what
OA to unload the medial femoral and tibial condyles
Infrapatellar strap is used for
Patellar tendonitis in absence of patellar tracking problem
Resistance training programs - frequency
2 to 3 days between session to allow for recovery
3 days/wk
Running phase most likely to aggravate hamstring injury (which part of gait)
Deceleration (terminal swing)
Cx eccentrically
Anterior tilting of the scapula is caused by tightness of what muscle
Pec minor!
Exertional compartment syndrome - s/s
Subjective = leg pain
Dec sensation after exertion
Paresthesias
Stress fx - important to assess what
Vibration and percussion testing
Stress fx = s/s
Insidious onset of pain that correlates with change in equip or training
Localized bony tenderness
Palpable periosteal thickening
Pain at fx site with percussion or vibration at distance from fx
Test for upper abdominal strength
Pt supine - if hip flexors are short and prevent post tilt - add a towel under knees to passively flex hips enough for back to be flat
Arm position is clasped behind head for highest grade
DO NOT hold feet to stabilize (would allow hip flexors to help)
Have pt do slow trunk curl
If can’t with arms clasped behind head, crossed chest is next, and then reaching forward
GERD - what sleeping position is recommended for nocturnal reflux
Sleep on left side with pillow to maintain this position
Lower esophagus bends to the left so reflux can be minimized
Can also use pillows to elevate head
Supine with hips and knees flexed to 90
Deep palpation in RLQ produces pain - what do you think
Iliopsoas mm dysfunction is possible
Superficial partial thickness burn characteristics
Wt with shiny weeping surface
Mottled red in color
Blisters
Creep =
Permanent deformation of tissue through application of a low magnitude load over a long period of time
Dynamic splint will allow this
Postural draininage - sitting leaned back on pillow at a 30 deg angle
Apical segments of upper lobes
Postural drainage - supine with pillow under knees
Anterior segment of upper lobes
Postural drainage - prone over pillows with feet elevated 20 inches
Bilateral posterior lungs
Postural draininage - head down on the right side
Left lingular segment
Pt with brainstem infarct resulting in left lateral meduallary syndrome =
Loss of pain and temp in R side of body
Corticospinal fibers that supply motor activity are located where
Anteromedial aspect of the entire brainstem
