Q

What is the treatment during hemostasis and degeneration stage of ligament healing?

A
  • Rice
  • Pain management techniques (TENS, oral meds)
  • NWB or WBAT
  • Can initiate CPM (within limited ROM)
  • Protection of ligaments from unwanted stress (braces, casts, etc)
  • Strict, rigid, long-term immobilization minimized
  • Isometric muscle contractions
  • Contralateral limb exercises as tolerated

16
Q

How do tissues that are subjected to repeated compressions respond?

A

Synthesizing larger and greater amounts of proteoglycans than tissues exposed to tension loads

17
Q

Following injury, what can appropriate controlled motion and exercise stimulate for ligament repair?

A
  • Improving matrix organization and composition
  • Increasing weight of injured ligaments
  • Promoting normalized collagen synthesis and strength
18
Q

What can influence and determine the degree and type of healing that occur after trauma and subsequent immobilization?

A
  • Motion
  • Exercise
  • Protected progressive stress
19
Q

What do joints that are immobilized demonstrate?

A
  • Scar tissue

- Adhesions

20
Q

What do joints moved passively through the motions demonstrate?

A
  • Well organized, longitudinally oriented collage

- No adhesions

21
Q

What is the development concept of early protected motion applied to healing soft tissues?

A

CPM (continuous passive motion)

22
Q

When is CPM used?

A
  • Knee joint contractures
  • Postoperative ACL reconstructions
  • Joint effusion
  • Knee, elbow, knee fractures (immoblization)
  • Joint arthrosis
  • Total knee arthroplasty
23
Q

What does early motion after surgery or immobilization help with?

A
  • Enhance and facilitate connective tissue strength, size, shape
  • Evacuate joint hemarthrosis (bloody effusion within joint space)
  • Improve joint nutrition
  • Inhibit adhesions
  • Initiate normal joint kinematics
  • Reduce articular surface changes
  • Minimize other deleterious effects of immobilization
24
Q

When can CPM be used?

A
  • Postoperatively
  • In operating room
  • Few days after surgery
  • Immediately after cast removal
  • Early phases of rehab
25
Q

What is the most common joint CPM is used on?

A

Knee

26
Q

What is calibrated in cycles per minute and degrees of motion?

A

CPM

27
Q

What may be helpful to decrease postoperative pain after ACL reconstruction?

A

CPM

28
Q

What is an exceedingly poor indicator of healing tissue?

A

Absence of pain and swelling

29
Q

How can we help establish normal joint kinematics and gait?

A
  • Encouraging weight bearing as soon as tolerate

- Protecting the joint

30
Q

What do the acute and postacute phases of rehab after ligament injury and repair usually involve?

A
  • Pain management techniques
  • Swelling reduction
  • Muscle reeducation (isometric muscle contraction, functional muscle stimulation)
  • CPM
  • AROM
  • Ligament protection (braces- range adjustable)
  • Weight bearing gait maneuvers (crutches)
31
Q

During early phases of recovery, what is it important to avoid?

A

Excessive motions that may disrupt the intentional scar formation needed for joint stability

32
Q

What must degree of motion, direction of forces, and velocity of joint movement applied during this early acute phase must be?

A
  • Joint specific
  • Functional
  • Protected
