exam 1 - lab presentation questions Flashcards
week 1-5
Why is proper management of LAS important?
To prevent the development of CAI and further ankle dysfunction
CAI stands for chronic ankle instability.
Which preventive measure can help reduce the risk of future LAS injuries?
Engaging in balance training, strengthening the hip abductors, wearing a prophylactic brace
These measures are effective in reducing future lateral ankle sprain injuries.
What does the windlass test involve?
Dorsiflexing the great toe; a + test suggests plantar fascia involvement in heel pain
The windlass test is used to assess for plantar fasciitis.
What is the key limitation of using stretching as an isolated treatment for plantar fasciitis?
Stretching offers short term pain relief, but its long-term effectiveness as a standalone treatment is limited
This highlights the need for a multifaceted approach to treatment.
If a patient presents with mid-portion achilles tendinopathy & a pain scale greater than 5/10, what exercise type is appropriate to prescribe?
Isometrics
Isometric exercises are beneficial for managing pain in tendinopathy.
What exercise type could be started if pain was less than 5/10?
Isotonic exercises
Isotonic exercises are typically introduced when pain levels allow for more movement.
What factor(s) is most important to consider when determining a patient’s exercise tolerance for therapeutic exercise?
Tissue characteristics
Patient-specific factors play a crucial role in determining exercise tolerance.
What are the two types of forces that can contribute to a PHT?
Tensile and compression
PHT stands for proximal hamstring tendinopathy.
According to Goom et al. 2016, when ideally dosing for a proximal hamstring tendinopathy during STAGE 2, what must we commence with?
Endurance (3 sets of >12, typically 15)
This is a recommended approach for rehabilitation.
Which exercise is MOST appropriate to prescribe to a patient 8-weeks post-ACLR?
Mini split squats
ACLR stands for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
Which interventions were highlighted in Culvenor et al. (2022) regarding rehabilitation after an ACL injury?
Open vs closed kinetic chain exercises, home based vs in person rehab, preoperative exercise therapy, neuromuscular control exercises
These methods are vital for comprehensive rehabilitation.
In addition to knee targeted therapy, what secondary intervention would produce the BEST outcome?
Patient education
Education plays a significant role in the recovery process.
Which is NOT considered a differential diagnosis for PFP?
Bakers’ cyst
PFP stands for patellofemoral pain.
Therapeutic exercise that is recommended for rotator cuff disorders are considered which grade of rehabilitation?
Grade A (strong recommendation)
This indicates a high level of evidence supporting the recommendation.
Which of the following is NOT a recommended intervention for rotator cuff tendinopathy?
Rest with immobilization
Active rehabilitation is preferred over immobilization.
