A

min

mod

max

22
Q

min –> irritability

A

2:1

agg to ease

ease quickly

23
Q

max–> irritability

A

1-2

little tolerance to activity

slow recovery

sleep interrupted and meds needed

24

what system it may be associated w/

magnitude of other life factors

25
Q

type of pain –> nature

A

nociceptive

nociplastic

neuropathic

26
Q

stage –> SINSS

A

acute

subacute

chronic

acute or subacute on chronic

27
Q

acute –> stage

A

< 3 weeks

28
Q

A

3-6 weeks

29
Q

chronic –> stage

A

> 6 wks

30
Q

stability –> SINSS

A

progression of the sxs

improving, worsening, not changing, waxing and waning

31
Q

what is a possible tool for pain pattern recognition

A

pain radar plot

32
Q

building a “case”

A

after chief complaint and history are taken

red/orange/yellow flags

additional findings

absence of specific dx

33
Q

after chief complaint and history are taken –> building a “case”

A

intake forms are filled out

able to rule out red & orange flags

take proper notice of yellow flags

34
Q

red/orange/yellow flags –> building a “case”

A

red/orange –> refer out to MD

yellow flags –> CBT/F, remain active, etc

35
Q

additional findings –> building a “case”

A

radicular syndrome (or specific dx) are considered

36
Q

in the absence of specific dx –> building a “case”

A

therapist can assume nonspecific pain

classify

37
Q

hierarchy of athletic development

A

evaluation

inflammation/pain management

mobility

motor control/work capacity

strength

power

elastic strength

speed

38
Q

evaluation –> hierarchy of athletic development

A

classification of…
-position & mobility deficit
-motor control & power deficit

39
Q

inflammation/pain management –> hierarchy of athletic development

A

rest

activity modification

modalities as needed

meds as indicated

40
Q

mobility –> hierarchy of athletic development

A

attain repeated motion

joint mob/manip

soft tissue mob

active ROM exercises

pin and stretch

trigger point release

massage

41
Q

motor control/work capacity –> hierarchy of athletic development

A

muscle activation exercises

motor control training

strength development

42
Q

strength must attain –> hierarchy of athletic development

A

muscle activation exercises

motor control training

strength development

43
Q

strength includes –> hierarchy of athletic development

A

ability to exert force

most basic physical quality

relationship w/ power and speed

44
Q

strength is the –> hierarchy of athletic development

A

foundation of athletic performance

45
Q

power and elastic strength –> hierarchy of athletic development

A

assimilation of movement

strength, power, elastic strength

fxnal movement patterns

46
Q

tx key concepts

A

control pain first

mobility trumps stability

always work you way up the “pyramid” regardless of the category

47
Q

what if the pt presents w/ stability/motor control deficit

A

clear mobility above and below
