females- q angle, differing hip strength/coordination

117
Q

what can cause PFPS

A

trauma- rare
idiopathic
PF malalignment

118
Q

what can PF malalignment cause

A

femur can IR creating more force on patella with less contact due to impaired LE control of hip and quad

119
Q

what is the pathology of PFPS

A

overload of subchondral bone
tissue ischemia
loss of tissue hemostasis
neural ingrowth

120
Q

what are symptoms of PFPS

A

gradual onset
anteromedial knee pain
pain increases with stairs, squatting, or kneeling or prolong sitting

121
Q

how can prolong sitting contribute to PFPS

A

more pressure on the less contact of displaced patella

122
Q

what can be observed with PFPS

A

increased Q angle
OC maltracking patella
quad atrophy
impaired LE control

123
Q

why is impaired LE control a problem for PFPS

A

dynamic excessive pronation by tibial IR (impaired anti gravity hip) leading to genu valgus and impaired DF

124
Q

if DF is impaired, what is more likely to occur with a pt that has PFPS

A

more eversion leading to more pronation

125
Q

what m are incoordinated/weakness with PFPS

A

glute med/max
hip ext, ER, ABD
quads

126
Q

can L4-S1 regional interdependence lead to PFPS

if so why

A

RI inhibits the hip ext, ABD, and ER which causes impaired LE control
letting the tibia IR and leading the patella to maltrack

127
Q

what is in the SCAN for PFPS

A

ROM- limited and painful, FLX (PF comp) and EXT (fat pad irritation)
RST- weak and painful, HS, quads weak, anti gravity hip m
ST- PF comp

thomas- rectus short= patella alta
obers- TFL= connects to patella pulls lateral
SLR- HS and gastroc= too tight, more knee flx, more pressure on less surface area

131
Q

how can the patella be positioned if PFPS is present

A

overuse or gradual onset of pain
increased with jumping, lunging, and squatting (quad dominant)

147
Q

what is in the scan for patellar tendinopathy

A

ob- thicken tendon, impaired LE control
ROM- possible pain and limitation with end range flx
RST- pain with knee ext

148
Q

what is in the BE for patellar tendinopathy

A

AM- limited inf glide
sp test- thomas for short rectus
palpation- TTP

149
Q

patient has patella alta what two conditions can the patient have due to this palpation

A

PFPS
patellar tendinopathy

150
Q

what is the PT Rx for patellar tendinopathy

A

pt edu- soreness rule, load management, movement cues
POLICED
Orthotic
JM
MET

151
Q

what MET should be done for patellar tendinopathy

A

isometrics
eccentric with stretching for quads and hs
heavy to mod resistance
increased trunk flx

152
Q

how does increasing trunk flexion limit tendon stress of knee

A

hips go back keeping the knee from going over the toes and becoming a quad dominant position

153
Q

who is most common for osgood schlatters disease

A

12-15 yrs of age

154
Q

what are RF for osgood schlatters disease

A

growth spurt
high activity
shorten quad and HS
weak quads
high BMI
reduced core

155
Q

what is the pathology of osgood schlatters disease

A

bone growth exceeds quads length
increased tendon tension
growth plate is weak
mostly inflammation

156
Q

what are symptoms of osgood schlatters disease

A

gradual onset of ant knee pain with overuse
pop= avulsion
possible loss of vertical jump

157
Q

what is in a SCAN for osgood schlatters disease

A

ob- impaired LE control, large tibial tuberosity
ROM- possible pain and limitation with end range flx
RST- pain with knee ext

158
Q

what is in a BE for osgood schlatters disease

A

AM- limited inf glide
sp test- thomas for short rectus
palpation- TTP over tibial tuberosity

159
Q

what is the PT Rx for osgood schlatters disease

A

Pt edu- soreness rule, load management, movement cures
POLICED
JM
Stretch- no symptoms at painful area
orthotic
MET

160
Q

what MET could be done for osgood schlatters disease

A

trunk and hip stabilization
do not overuse the tendon

161
Q

how do you know to use an orthotic

A

have them do an activity that creates symptoms
do the same activity with orthotic
if improves symptoms= use
if increases symptoms= do not

162
Q

what are functional strains

A

fatigue or neurogenic dysfunction without structural change

163

grade 1- 1-2 weeks

165
Q

what is the RTP for structural strains

A

grade 2- 5-6 weeks
grade 3- > 8 weeks

166
Q

what is the PT Rx for strains

A

pt edu
compression wrapping to help m action
MET
