Q

How to differentiate epicondylosis from radiculopathy?

A

Testing dermatome,miotomes and reflexes
Also test upper limb tension test.

Q

What is hyperalgesia?

A

When u have extreme sensitivity to pain

17
Q

Are allodynia and hyperalgesia associated with complex regional pain syndrome?

A

Yes
Also the pt experience “burning” pain

18
Q

What are some signs and symptoms of Complex regional pain syndrome?

A

Severe pain
Sensory abnormalities
Abnormal blood flow
Abnormal sweating
Abnormal motor function

Shiny tight skin
Abnormal hair and nail growth

19
Q

What are the three stages of CRPS?

A

Stage 1 Acute:
Warmth and erythena(redness)

Stage 2 ischemic stage:
Coldness and osteoporosis

Stage 3 atrophic stage:
Severe osteoporosis,muscle wasting and contractures

20
Q

What are some interventions for complex regional pain syndrome?

A

Education

Early AROM (don’t do PROM or mobilization)

Tendon gliding

Nerve mobilization

Encourage adls

Desensitization

Edema: elevate, compression, retrograde massage

Modalities: tens ( for desensitization)
Us
Ice

21
Q

What are some complications of scaphoid fracture?

A

Avascular necrosis( if the radial artery gets affected it won’t provide blood supply.)

Nonunion of fracture (does not heal)

Arthritis

22
Q

What is the mechanism for scaphoid fracture?

A

FOOSH
MVA

23
Q

What are some signs and symptoms of scaphoid fracture?

A

Radial sided wrist pain
Tenderness/ swelling in the snuffbox
Pain with longitudinal compression of thumb

24
Q

What are some interventions for scaphoid fracture?

A

Medical management: immobilization

PT management ( after imobilization) :
Mobilization and strengthening

When returning to activities that falling is a common occurrence, using a wrist guard can decrease the chance of re fracture

25
