Final Exam Flashcards
Neural flossing: two nerves to test
Median nerve
Sciatic nerve
Median Nerve route
C-spine –> scalenes –> under clavicle –> medial side of upper arm –> cross over at the elbow –> anterior side of the forearm –> thumb
sciatic nerve route
head –> spine –> glutes–> hamstrings –> calves
Common features to WAD
neck pain dizziness headaches weakness stiffness altered sensation in the arms
grading system of WAD
- subjective symptoms with objective signs
- +MSK
- neurological condition
- fracture/dislocation
cervicogenic headache
a headache arising from the cervical spine caused by a mis-mapping of information at the trigemino-cervical nucleus
cervical artery dissection
compression of the carotid or arterial arteries caused by extension and rotation
should ROMS
F: 180 E: 60 IR: 70 ER: 90 Ad: 180 Ab: 0
scapular dyskinesis types
I: inferior angle
II: medial border
III: superior angle
IV: normal
GH instability causes
- TUBS
- AMBRI
- Adaptive instability
tubs
traumatic unilateral bankart surgery
AMBRI
atraumatic multidimensional bilateral rehabilitative inferior capsular shift
What kind of athlete is prone to a GH instability?
overhead athletes: volleyball players, swimmers, baseball pitchers
risky ranges of motion for GH instability
external rotation and abduction
what to do in the: 1-3 weeks 4-6 weeks 7+ weeks after a GH instability issue
1-3 weeks: immobilize
4-6 weeks: add in ROM <90 degrees Can do Abduction OR external rotation
7+ weeks: do all ROMs cautiously
impingement types
- posterior inferior impingement
2. subacromial impingement
posterior inferior impingement structures
- infraspinatus
- supraspinatus
- labrum
