1
Q

How would you describe primary care physical therapy and the responsibilities of the physical therapist in that role?

A

PTs practicing in Primary Care modes can offer more efficiently and can help reduce cost for patients.

  • This helps produce better outcomes, and ensures optimal resources and decreases cost.

Q

What are some lessons that Primary Care and PTs have learned from the Military?What is the Capabilities Model?

A

The US military has experienced critical shortages of physicians. As a result, after the Vietnam War the military had to develop models of health care that can be an example for a civilian practice environment facing the same problem

  • The “Capabilities Model” allows all providers to serve at their full level of training, share responsibility and efficiently treat patients.

Q

How can you utilize the ICF Framework to make all of the necessary considerations for an appropriate physical therapy diagnosis?

A
  • ICF uses both medical and social model as a bio-psycho-social synthesis, and it does not focus one’s disease, illness or disability alone
  • Conceptualizes a patients functioning as a dynamic interaction between a person’s health condition, environment and personal factors for a holistic understanding of health

39
Q

What are the characteristics of Empty End-Feel?(Abnormal End-Feel)

A

Limitation of motion has no tissue resistance component, and resistance is from the patient being unable to tolerate further motion due to severe pain

40
Q

What are the causes of Facilitation End-Feel?(Abnormal End-Feel)

A

Not truly an End-Feel, as facilitated hypertonicity does not restrict motion; it can, however, be perceived near end-range

41
Q

What are the characteristics of a Facilitation End-Feel?(Abnormal End-Feel)

A

Light resistance as from constant light muscle contraction throughout the latter half of range that does not prevent the end of the range from being reached; resistance is unaffected by the rate of the movement

A
  • RICE
  • POLICE:
    –Protection- Avoid excessive loading to injured
    tissue
    –Optimal loading- guide fibroblast to lay down
    new collagen in line of stress
    –Ice- Cryotherapy to reduce edema, effusion and
    hematoma
    –Compression- Elastic bandage/tape to reduce
    effusion
    –Elevation- Aid venous return to reduce edema

(From BB)

50
Q

What are the goals for intervention in the subacute phase?

A

Progress to address more nuanced impairments to body structure and function, activity limitation, and participation restriction

  • Patient will have increased pain-free ROM
  • Treatment goals:
    –Modify the forming collagen (Type 3)
    –Modify faulty joint mechanics
    –Orient new collagen fibers parallel to lines of force they must withstand
    –Prevent scar cross-linking and contractures

(From BB)

51
Q

What are the Therapeutic exercises and Manual Therapy techniques used in the subacute phase?

A

The therapeutic exercises are based on established goals and functional needs
- When establishing exercise prescription you must use correct application of forces and address poor movement quality and compromised motor control

For Manual therapy there should be applies control stress to healing tissue (gentle joint mobs., soft tissue mobs., and gentle contract-relax)
- If too aggressive this can disrupt/delay healing

52
Q

What are the goals for intervention in the chronic phase?

A
  • Gradual return to full pain-free ROM
  • Progressive muscular qualities based on functional needs (Strength, power, endurance, and speed)
53
Q

What are the therapeutic exercise and Manual Therapy techniques used in the Chronic phase?

A

The therapeutic exercises are focused on function
- Exercises that mimic functional movement patterns in actual environment
- Use functional assessments to track progress: reduced use of goni and MMT

For Manual therapy you should restore accessory motion and increase tissue extensibility
- Accessory motion graded: Manipulations (3-4)
- Extensibility: Passive stretch and myofascial release

54
Q

What is the difference between Mobilization and Manipulation?

A

Mobilization = Non-thrust technique
Manipulation = Thrust technique

64
Q

What is the Kaltenborn technique for joint mobilization?

A

The Kaltenborn’s technique use a combination of distraction and mobilization to reduce pain and mobilize hypomobile joints

65
Q

What are the Grades for Kaltenborn technique?

A

Grade 1-Piccolo (Loosen): This grade involves a distraction force that neutralizes separation without producing any joint separation.

Grade 2-Slack (Take up slack): This grade of distraction separates the articulating surfaces and eliminates the play in joint capsules. Its typically used for the initial treatment to determine the sensitivity of the joint

Grade 3-Stretch: This is designed to stretch the joint capsule and the soft tissue surrounding the joint to increase mobility.

66
Q

According to Maitland, what is a Grade 1 Joint Oscillation?

A

A small amplitude technique (about 25%) performed at the beginning of the available ROM

0-25%

(Move within anatomical range with moving into resistance, for Neurophysiological effects)

67
Q

According to Maitland, what is a Grade 2 Joint Oscillation?

A

A large amplitude movement in the middle of the ROM(the middle of 50%)

25-50%

(Move within anatomical range with moving into resistance, for Neurophysiological effects)

68
Q

According to Maitland, what is a Grade 3 Joint Oscillation?

A

A large Amplitude movement at the end of the ROM (the last 50%)

50-75%

(Performed at anatomical range that engages the end range barrier to lengthen stretched tissues and for neurophysiological effects)

69
Q

According to Maitland, what is a Grade 4 Joint Oscillations?

A

A Small amplitude movement at the end of the ROM (The last 25%)

75-100%

(Performed at anatomical range that engages the end range barrier to lengthen stretched tissues and for neurophysiological effects)

70
Q

According to Maitland, what is a Grade 5 Joint Mobilization?

A

A movement that exceeds the resistance barrier, commonly referred to as a high velocity thrust with low amplitude technique or manipulation.

(Patient is less likely to guard against the movement, and this maximizes neurophysiologic and mechanical effects)

71
Q

What are Maitland’s Grade 1 and Grade 2 mobilizations for?

A

Used solely for pain relief and muscle guarding and has no direct mechanical effect on the restricting barrier, it does this by joint lubrication and circulation in tissues related to the joint.

(Reduces muscle guarding and pain, improves compliance with therapeutic exercise program)

72
Q

What are Maitland’s Grade 3 and Grade 4 mobilizations for?

A

Used primarily as stretching maneuvers, also has a mechanical and neurophysiologic effect, also may activate inhibitory joint and muscle spindle receptors reducing restrictions to movement

(Reduces muscle guarding and pain, releases adhesions and collagen cross-linkage)

73
Q

What are the advantages of Grade 5 manipulations?

A
  • The patient is less likely to guard against the movement
  • Maximizes neurophysiologic and mechanical effects
74
Q

What are considerations a clinician must have when doing Joint Mobilizations? (7)

A
  • The position of the joint to be treated must be appropriate for the stage of healing and skill of PT.
    Resting or open packed for acute SOC or inexperienced PT
  • One half of the joint should be stabilized, the other half is mobilized
  • Should not move into or through the point of pain
  • The Velocity and amplitude are carefully considered, based on goal, restore ROM or alleviate pain
  • One movement at a time at one joint only
  • After a few movements, the patient is reassessed if the joint is in the acute healing stage and less frequently in other stages
  • The Intervention should be discontinued for the day when a large improvement has been obtained or when the improvement ceases
75
Q

With joint mobilization, Grade 3 and Grade 4 can be further subdivided into what?

A

They can be further subdivided into Grades 3+ (++) and Grade 4+ (++), indicating that once the end of the range has been reached, a further stretch is given to impart a mechanical force on the movement restriction.

76
Q

What are contraindications for Grade 5 mobilization (High velocity thrust)?

A
  • The inability of the patient to relax, any technique should feel comfortable to the patient
  • Cervical techniques should not be performed at the end of the overall cervical spine’s physiological movement range, especially for extension and rotation
  • A past medical history that includes any condition that can weaken bone or collagen, any condition that may create abnormal hypomobility, any condition involving a joint fusion
  • The risk of damage to developing growth epiphysis
77
Q

What is PNF?

A

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation

  • A Manual technique that promotes a neuromuscular response through stimulation of the proprioceptors
78

- PTA should not alter/modify the POC without consulting PT

PTA cant do Mobs, sharp debridement, dry needling

91
Q

For Therapeutic Exercise what are Muscle Performance Principles?

A
  • Activation: Low grade exercise, neuromuscular e-stime
  • Motor control/coordination: Establish normal movement patterns in available ROM (Single plane then Multi-plane, proprioception, balance, low resistance high reps till movement pattern is automated)
  • Endurance: Submaximal load with higher reps (Improving muscle endurance not cardiopulmonary)
  • Strength: High resistance/low reps, prolonged breaks
  • Power: Resistance and reps match functional needs (Force-Velocity Relationship)
92
Q

What are some signs of Overtraining?

A
  • Inability to recover after exercise
  • Decline in physical performance
  • Muscle Soreness
  • Fatigue

Can be caused by insufficient recovery, rest, and unloading

93
Q

If a test has a Sensitivity closer to 100%, what would this tell you?

A

The closer the sensitivity is to 100% in the presence of a test with a Negative Result, the stronger the ability of the clinical measure to RULE OUT the potential for a particular diagnosis.

94
Q

If a test has a Specificity closer to 100%, what would this tell you?

A

The closer the specificity is to 100% in the presence of a test with a Positive Result, the stronger the ability of the clinical measure to RULE IN the potential for a particular diagnosis
