Q

Knee : Medial meniscus MOI

Q

Knee : Lateral Meniscus MOI

A
  1. Moveable and therefore less prone to tear except when the ACL is injured
  2. Twisting while the foot is weight bearing and anchored to the ground

Q

Shoulder : SLAP Lesion MOI

A
  1. Shoulder labrum tear in upper part of labrum due to traumatic or degenerative causes
  2. Trauma
    - FOOSH, traction or combined
    - Attritional : “Peel back” of long heads of biceps
    - Degenerative : Overhead laboueres, overhead sports, or secondary to normal “wear and tear”

Q

What are the signs & symptoms of acute?

A
  1. Inflammation
  2. Loss of function d/t swelling, protective spasm + pain, possible hemarthrosis, heat, redness
  3. Bruising is red, black and blue
  4. Crutches, sling
  5. MM, blood vessel, nerve damage possible in grade 2 & 3

  3. Bruising is black and blue
  4. Crutches / sling
  5. ROM is limited
  6. Adhesions are starting to form

  2. Protective spasms, replaced by ADH & FR
  3. Bruising is yellow, green, brown
  4. Crutches, sling
  5. ROM increases
  6. Adhesions are maturing

Q

What are the signs & symptoms in chronic?

A
  1. Inflammation is gone, tissue may be cool d/t adhesions & FRs
  2. Edema barely noticeable
  3. Bruising gone
  4. Point tenderness is local to injury site
  5. ROM is mild limitation in direction of injury, strength reduced, crepitus
  6. Adhesions are matured & local to ligament
  7. TPs local & compensatory
  8. Reduced proprioception at joint

Q

What are CI’s & precautions?

A
  1. No special tests in acute
  2. Do not force extension or flexion of a locked knee
  3. In acute with effusion, no massage
  4. No frictions with anti inflammatories or blood tinners
17
Q

What are assessment findings in acute?

A
  1. Antalgic gait if injury is in a weight bearing joint & more severe injury causes inability to bear weight
  2. Antalgic posture
  3. Possible pained facial expression
  4. AROM limited due to pain & effusion - especially flexion & extension with knee meniscus tear
  5. PROM springy block end feel
  6. RROM strong & pain free
18
Q

What are assessment findings in subacute / post acute & chronic?

A
  1. Habituated antalgic gait & posture may be observed
  2. AROM may be limited due to pain, less so than in acute
    - Extension with meniscus tear
  3. PROM limited where joint locking is present, springy block end feel
  4. RROM reduced strength if disuse atrophy is present
  5. Positive meniscus, labrum or TFCC test
  6. Potential impact on ADLs
19
Q

What are massage goals?

A

Acute :
1. Reduce inflammation
2. Prevent excess adhesion formation
3. Maintain function & mobility
4. Gradual return to movement with pain tolerance to avoid excess scar tissue
Subacute :
1. Reduce risk of reinjury via proprioceptive / balance training
2. Restore stability via strengthening of muscles that cross the joint
Chronic :
1. Normalize joint integrity & mobilty
2. Normalize muscle tone
3. Reduce TPs & adhesions

20
Q

What are massage techniques?

A
  1. Edema reduce via elevation, cold application, lymphatic drainage
  2. Kneading, stripping
  3. O+I, GTO
  4. MET/PNF
  5. Px Free ROM / Frictions
21
Q

What are homecare exercises?

A

Acute :
- RICE or PRICES
- Px free ROM
- Breathing exercises
Chronic :
- Stretching
- Strengthening
- Self massage
- Proprioceptive exercises
