CPGs Flashcards
Achilles Tendinitis Examination
B
- walk, descend stairs, uni heel raise, SL hop, recreation
- DF ROM, ST ROM, PF strength/endurance, static arch height, FF alignment, painful palpation
Achilles Tendinitis Interventions
A - ECC loading B - laser, ionto C - stretching, orthoses (running), night splint NOT beneficial vs ECC D - heel lift F - MT, taping
ACL Prevention
A
- prox control, strength, plyo
- 20+ min sessions, > 30 min/wk
- start in preseason, continue through season
B - does not need balance or solely focus on balance
Adhesive Capsulitis
Risk Factors/Clinical Course
B - DM, thyroid, 40-65, female, had on contra side
C - 12-18 mo (mild/mod mob deficits and pain persist but min/no disability)
Adhesive Capsulitis Interventions
A - injections with mob/stretching (more effective than mob/stretching alone)
B - pt edu, stretching
C - modalities (shortwave, US, estim with mob/stretchin), joint mob, MUA
Ankle Sprain Risk Factors and Dx
B
- hx of previous strains, no external use, no normal DF ROM, no proper warm up, no balance/prop program
- level of function, lig lax, hemorrhage, pt tender, total ankle motion, swelling, pain
Ankle Sprain/Instability Examination
A - swelling, ROM, talar translation and inversion, SL balance
B - SL hop tests for lateral, diagonal, directional movement/changes
Ankle Instability Risk Factors and Classification
C - inc talar curvature, no external support, no balance/prop program after acute sprain
B - CAIT, instability from old lig injury, stability and movement coordination impairments
Ankle Sprain/Instability Intervention - Acute/Protected Motion Phase
A - Early WBing with support, therex (severe sprain)
B - MT (drainage, active and passive STM and joint mob, A/P talar mob)
Physical Agents
A - cryo, US (don’t use)
C - diathermy
D - electro/laser
Ankle Sprain/Instability Intervention - Progressive Loading/Sensorimotor Training Phase
A - MT (graded mob/manip, MWM for DF, prop, WBAT for sprain)
C - therex/theract (functional and SL balance), sport specific
Carpal Tunnel Diagnosis
A - SWMT (2.83 or 3.22)
B - Katz, Phalen, TInel, carpal compression
D - UE neurodynamic tests, scratch-collapse test, test for vibration
B - cluster (3+ for accuracy)
> 45, wrist ratio index (> .67), CTQ-SSS > 19, shaking hands to relieve symptoms, sensory loss in thumb
Carpal Tunnel Examination
Strength
A - don’t use lateral pinch or grip
C - grip, 3pt, tip pinch
D - tip, 3pt, APB MMT following surgery
Sensory
C - don’t use threshold or vibration in nonsurgical, phalen surgical
D - 2 pt discrimination, threshold after surgery
Carpal Tunnel Intervention
B - orthoses (neutral wrist worn at night, short term and nonsurgical), agents (don’t use laser, ionto, magnets)
C
- assistive technology
- orthoses (day, symptomatic, full time when night only doesn’t work; during pregnancy/post partum)
- may add MCP joint immob or modify wrist position
- agents (heat and diathermy for short term, don’t use US, phono for nonsurgical)
- MT (short term)
- therex (orthotic/stretching program if no thenar atrophy and normal 2pt)
D
- agents (nonthermal US)
- MT (neurodynamic mob)
Knee Sprain Interventions
A - therex (WB/NWB, CON/ECC within 4-6wks after ACLR; 2-3x/week 6-10 mo), nm estim (6-8 wks), neuro re-ed
B - immed mob (within 1 wk), cyro, supervised rehab
C - CPM, early WBing (WBAT), knee bracing
D - patient preference knee brace
F - knee brace (acute PCL, severe MCL, PLC injuries)
LBP Interventions
A
- MT (thrust manip for acute lumbar/butt/thigh pain, thrust manip and nonthrust mob for subacute/chronic)
- trunk coordination, strength, endurance ex (subacute and chronic post microdiscectomy)
- centralization (acute with referred pain)
- directional preference (acute, subacute, chronic with mobility issues)
- progressive endurance ex (generalized pain)
B
- pt edu (not if it will incr perceived threat/fear)
C
- flex ex (combined with MT, strengthening, nerve mob, progressive walking - chronic with radiating)
- LQ nerve mob (subacute and chronic with radiating)
D
- traction (mod evidence to not use with acute/subacute nonradicular or chronic; prelim evidence for nerve root compression with peripheralization or + CSLR - intermittent in prone)
