Joint Derangements/Dysfunction Flashcards
A loose body is often the result of…
OA or chip fracture
Loose body S&S
Locking/catching
Loose body Ax
ROM end feel as a bony block or may be springy
Hypermobility Rx
- Mobilize stiff or hypomobile tissue/joint/segment
- Strengthen to stabilize the hypermobile segment/tissue
- Movement retraining - maintenance
- Supportive devices (brace/tape)
What is spondylosis
What can it lead to
OA of spine -> degeneration of joints
Can lead to disc herniation &/or stenosis
What is spondylolysis
Pars interarticularis (fibrous tissue) defect
- Degeneration of spine joints
- Seen in younger patients w/ hyper extension & rotation sports
Is spondylolysis mostly symptomatic or asymmptomatic
asymmptomatic
What may bilateral spondylolysis lead to
spondylolisthesis
What is the most common segment for spondylolisthesis
L5/S1
spondylolisthesis MOI
Hyper extension
spondylolisthesis types:
Spondyloytic spondylolisthesis - Progressive period of rapid growth - Rarely progresses to adult life - Younger population Degenerative spondylolisthesis - 2° to DJD + Z-joint subluxation -> OA of joints in spine, foramina narrowing - Older population
Grading of spondylolisthesis
1-4 25% of each grade of slippage
spondylolisthesis S&S
- Central LBP +/- referred pain, associated with weak abs +/- tight hamstrings
- Aggravating factor: EXT
- Easing factor: FLEX
Spondylolisthesis Rx
Stability
- Flexion exercises (open IVF to decrease pressure on nerve roots)
- Inner unit strengthening: TA/multifidus/PF
- Brace if needed
- Work into painful range with proper stability - avoid hyperextension
- Surgery?
When is surgery needed for spondylolisthesis
- Increased slippage or instability even with brace
- hard neurological signs
- evidence of spinal cord involvement
- intractable pain despite treatment
Hypomobility MOI
Adaptive shortening or soft tissue (tightness or contracture) or joint
- Muscle: atrophy & weakness
- Tendon: Decreased tensile strength
- Ligament: Decreased tensile strength, Increased stiffness/adhesions
- Cartilage: decreased synovial fluid, H2O content
- Bone: Increased resorption, decreased bone mass/mineral content
Study capsular pattern, resting position, closed packed position table
Pg 9
Dislocation S&S
Increase ROM
Soft end feel
+/- pain
Complications of GH dislocation
Rotator cuff tears
Axillary nerve damage
Dislocation types
TUBS: Traumatic onset, unidirectional anterior, bankart lesion, surgery
AMBRI - Atraumatic, multidirectional, bilateral shoulder findings, rehab appropriate, INF capsule shift
TUBS dislocation MOI
Abduction + ER
Bankart lesion
Definition + S&S
- Avulsion + of ant/inf capsule & ligaments
S&S: Clicking, apprehension, deep vague pain
Slap Lesion
- Def
- MOI
- Major cause of pain in _)___
Superior labrum lesion ant-> post
Elevated position w/ sudden concentric + eccentric biceps contraction
- Major cause of pain in throwers
Hill sachs lesion
- Compression Fracture post/lateral humeral head
Fracture dislocation usually occurs where?
S&S ?
Usually acromion, humeral head
S&S -> deformity, constant pain, systemic signs (nausea)
Which ligaments stabilize the AC joint
Trapezoid and conoid ligaments
S&S of an AC joint subluxation
- Step deformity
- Osteolysis (bone resorption d/t repetitive microtrauma or post trauma
