Q

what is occuring during mouth opening/closing when there is disc displacement without reduction?

there is a partial displacement or dislocation of the disc in resting position

thus the mandiblar condyle is unable to pass over the posterior border of the disc during opening

since the disc doesn’t relocate it blocks translation and limits motion at durng opening/closing

487
Q

what can you use to help you make a decision/diagnosis when the pt is in severe or slight pain?

A
  1. pt. history
  2. functional testing - try to recreate their pain in a motion
  3. ask them to return when symptom returns
488
Q

what AROM results should you expect for a muscle/tendon strain, tendonitis or possible small tear?

A

likely limited due to pain and/or weakness

may be able to move through full ROM but with pain

489
Q

what PROM results should you expect from a muscle/tendon strain, tendonitis or possible small tear?

A

if truly passive: should have full pain free motion in all directions

EXCEPT

direction which stretches involved area may be limited due to pain (empty end feel)

490
Q

what isometric/MMT results should you expect from a muscle/tendon strain, tendonitis or possible small tear?

A

likely weak and painful when testing involved area

491
Q

what palpation results should you expect when testing a muscle/tendon strain, tendonitis or possible small tear?

A

involved area painful to palpation

492
Q

what AROM results should you expect from a muscle or tendon complete tear?

A

very limited due to weakness

likely not as much pain as seen w/partial tear, but much more weakness

493
Q

what PROM results should you expect from a muscle or tendon complete tear?

A

if truly passive: full pain free motion in all directions

EXCEPT
direction that stretches involved area, may be limited due to pain (empty end feel) if a muscle is guarding in the area

494
Q

what isometric/MMT results should you expect from a muscle or tendon complete tear?

A

extremely weak

495
Q

what palpation results should you expect from a muscle or tendon complete tear?

A

involved area painful to palpation

496
Q

what AROM results should you expect to see from a joint capsule injury?

A

limited

possibly painful at end ranges

497
Q

what PROM results should you expect to see from a joint capsule injury?

A

limited in same direction as AROM with firm end feel

possibly painful at end ranges

498
Q

what Isometrics/MMT results should you expect to see in a joint capsule injury?

A

if done at mid range - shouldn’t produce sig pain and should be strong

may have pain due to compensation or guarding of surrounding muscles

499
Q

what Palpation results should you expect to see in joint capsule injury

A

depends on depth of joint capsule

most of the time, cannot palpate deep enough to feel joint capsule

surrounding structures may be inflammed and cause discomfort with palpation

500
Q

T/F: if the AROM or PROM loss doesn’t match the capsular pattern for that joint it is prob not an issue with the joint capsule

A

FALSE

can still be the joint capsule even if it doesn’f follow the capsular pattern.
