Q

*What is a Repetitive injury?

A
  • a muscle that becomes fatigued and can no longer generate sufficient force to maintain correct biomechanics.
  • The fatigued muscle then tears slightly (either in the muscle, tendon or bone).

Q

**What are 3 causes of IT band injury?

A
  1. Weak abductors
  2. Core muscles (effects knee, hips etc. putting lots of stress on IT band)

Q

What is Genu Varum?

A

“Bow legs”

-they cause tightening of the soft tissues on the outer aspect of the leg and knee, forcing the I.T.B. to rub with greater force against the edge of the femur. This will eventually produce inflammation and pain

Q

What are some treatments for ITB?

A
  • Strengthen hip abductors
  • Strengthen core muscles
    • **We are stretching Fascia not muscle, so LONG stretch important!!!
21
Q

What is the ITB and where is the pain felt?

A
  • pain felt outside or lateral side of knee
  • ITB is not a muscle, it’s a thick band of tissue called fascia that starts on the outside hip, passes down the outside of the thigh and inserts into the side of the patella
22
Q

What are 3 potential diagnoses for Shin Splints?

A
  1. Anterior or Posterior tibialis muscle tendinitis (front or back inflammation)
  2. Stress fractures of tibia
  3. Compartment syndrome
23
Q

*What are two most common types of Shin splints?

A
  1. Anterior Shin Splints: A new-runner” : slapping of feet TIBIALIS ANTERIOR becomes inflamed
  2. Posterior Shin Splints: SOLEUS and the TIBIALIS POSTERIOR muscles affected
24
Q

A

-over pronation

25
Q
  • *What is the treatment for Shin Splints?

(5) FOR INTERMEDIATE

A

-Acute: RICE

  • Intermediate:
    1. tibialis posterior exercises
    2. Soleus exercises (Theraband)
    3. Cycling and short distance (pain-free) running.
    4. Examine for correct footwear!!
    5. Also work on ABDUCTOR strength!

Late: return to RUNNING and continue STRENGTH and STRETCH

26

How is Patellar Tendinitis aggravated?

A

-running or jumping (basketball/volleyball)

29
Q

**What is the treatment for Patellar Tendinitis?

  • STRETCH the affected muscle
  • examine BIOMECHANICS
32
Q

How could you progress in exercise/treatment in a muscle pull ?

A
  • Leg extension:

ex. jumping, jumping over boxes with weights on shoulders

33

  1. ATL (Anterior Taloofibular Ligament)
  2. PTL (Posterior Talofibular Ligament)
  3. CFL (Calcaneofibular Ligament)
35

- strength may be affected

39
Q

What is a treatment for a Shoulder Seperation?

A

Acute: Brace, Isometrics, R.O.M

A

MCL

42

  1. Lachman test (30 degrees)

2. Anterior Drawer Test (90 degrees)

44
Q

***What is a post surgery method of treatment after a ACL injury ?
Why?

A

CLOSED chain!

-> Open-chain, resisted quad exercise are NEVER done for post-surg or Grade 2 sprains because of too much STRAIN on ACL

45
Q
