Chapter 13 - Theraputic Exercise Program Flashcards
What are the grieving stages?
denial, isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance DIABDA
What is included in the subjective part of an evaluation?
primary complaint, MOI, symptoms, functional impairments, previos injuries, family and medical history.
What should be included in the objective part of an evaluation?
observation, palpation, physical examination /tests
What should be included in the assessment part of an evaluation?
problem list, limitations, injury impressions, major concerns
What should be included in the plan part of an evaluation?
short and long-term goals, treatment plan, intervention, exercises, modalities,
What are the four usual phases of the exercise program
- control inflammation (decrease pain, edema, & bruising)
- restore motion (ROM and proprioception)
- Develop muscular strength, power, and endurance
- return to sport/activity (sport specific, coordination, cardio)
When can an individual move into phase 2 of a rehab program?
- inflammation is controlled - minimal swelling, muscle spasm, and pain
- ROM, flexibility, strength power, endurance are maintained inthe unaffected areas of the body
- CV fitness is maintained at the preinjury level
What does PRICE stand for?
protect, rest/restrict activity, ice, compression, elevation
T/F: Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is not supported to improve function, reduce edema, or decrease pain in lateral ankle sprains.
True
Immobilization can lead to loss of muscle strength within how long?
24hrs
T/F: TENS can be used to reduce pain in acute injuries (during the inflammatory phase).
True
Why does immobilization lead to loss of muscle strength?
-decrease in muslce fiber size
- decrease in muscle weight
- reduction in size and number of mitochondria
- decrease in muscle tension produced
- decrease in resting levels of glycogen and ATP
- motor nerves become less efficient at recruitment and stimulation
- increased fatigue from reduction in oxidative capacity
T/F: More type 1 slow-twitch muscles are lost during immobilization.
True
How long after immobilization are there changes in the articular cartilage?
1 week
T/F: Muscles immobilized in lengthened positions degrade faster than muscles in shortened positions.
False, other way around
Which structure recieves the most damage from immobilization and what can it lead to?
Articular cartilage, can lead to progressive osteoarthritis
What can happen if two bones remain in noncontact for prolonged periods?
connective tissue can grow into the joint
What can happen if two bones remain in constant contact for prolonged periods?
pressure necrosis and chondrocyte death
T/F: Stress leads to a stronger, stiffer ligament.
True
T/F: Immobilization leads to a stronger, stiffer ligament.
False, leads to weaker more compliant lig.
Does immobilization lead to bone loss or bone calcification?
Bone loss
When does muscle repair start after remobilization?
3-5 days
How long to heal a muscle completely with remobilization?
approx. 6 weeks
T/F: Neither EMS or isometric exercise has been shown to prevent disuse atrophy.
T/F: Structural changes to articular cartilage may not be reversible after 30+ days of immobilization.
True
Which takes longer to heal, the ligament or the bone-ligament junction?
Bone-ligament junction
Following 12 weeks of immobilization, what is the usual timeline of ligament strength recovery?
50% after 6 months
80% after 1 year
100% after 1-3 years
What are the main parameters for crutches?
-2 inches in front and 6 inches out from the outside of shoe
- elbow flexed 25-30 degrees at level of greater trochanter
When can an individual move into phase 3 of a rehab program?
- inflammation and pain are under control
- ROM is within 80% of normal in unaffected limb
- bilateral joint flexibility is restored & proprioception is regained
- CV fitness and general strength are maintained at preinjury level
What are the benefits of joint oscillations?
- break up adhesions and relieve capsular restrictions
- distracting impacted tissues
- increase lubrication for articular cartilage
- reduce pain and muscle tension
- restore full ROM and facilitate healing
