Q

S/S of Sever’s Disease

A

pain in area of growth plate
pain increased w/activity or impact
stretch of gastroc causes pain
superficial pain
inflammation signs

17
Q

Sever’s Disease

A

overuse injury of calcaneal apophysis in young person

18
Q

CP of Sever’s Disease

A

positive squeeze test
limited DF
painful calcaneal apophysis

19
Q

Interventions for Sever’s

A

it is a self-limiting condition

increase DF, cushion heel, limit impact

20
Q

Intrinsic causes of Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

A

tendinopathy
tenosynovitis
lipoma
peri-neural fibrosis
ganglion cyst or post-op neuroma
malunion of calcaneal fracture
osteophystes

21
Q

Extrinsic causes of tarsal tunnel syndrome

A

shoes
trauma
anatomic deformity
post-surgical scarring
systemic inflammatory disease
edema of LE
flat foot

22
Q

S/S of Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

A

numbness and tingling
increased pain w/eversion + DF
vague pain w/prolonged standing or walking
intermittent paresthesias
worse w/wb, better w/rest

23
Q

CP of Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

A

tenderness of tibial nerve
usually inconclusive sensory exam
muscle wasting of intrinsics
pain w/df and eversion
positive triple compression stress test

24
Q

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome Interventions

A

stretching of calf
foot orthosis for medial column
neural glides
avoiding compression

25
Q

S/S of Baxter’s Nerve Entrapemnt

A

pain on m aspect of calcaneous
radiating or burning pain under calcaneous
often worse following activity
atrophy of adductor digit minimi

chronic = hypoesthesia on lateral calcaneous or 5th MC

26
Q

Baxter’s nerve entrapment

A

entrapment of lateral plantar nerve
uncommon and difficult to differentiate
no reliable methods to differentiate it outside of subjective findings

27
Q

Etiology of Baxter’s nerve

A

advancing age
calcaneal osteophytes
plantar fasciitis
underlying mass
vascular enlargement
muscular enlargement
obesity
pronation

28
Q

Interventions for Baxter’s Nerve

A

orthotics
stretching/strengthening of foot intrinsics
footwear mod to decrease compression
activity mod
oral meds
ultrasound injections

29
Q

Biomechanics and plantar fasciitis

A

vertical impact peaks and loading rates were higher in those with PF

30
Q

What contributes to changes in vertical impact peaks and loading rates?

A

step rate (increased rate to lower impact)
foot inclination angle
vertical displacement of COM
over-stride
higher speeds

31
Q

Increased plantar fascia _____ was found to be associated with plantar fasciitis

A

thickness
alters the fat pad

32
Q

Calcaneal Bone Spur

A

those with larger or hooked spurs had the greatest improvement in function and pain

before treatment, neither shape nor size correlated with symptoms

33
Q

Grade A interventions for Plantar Fasciitis

A

Taping (short term)
Night splints (short term)
Manual therapy (short term)

34
Q

Grade B Interventions for Plantar Fasciitis

A

Therapeutic Exercise
Neuromuscular Re-education

35
Q

Grade C interventions for Plantar Fasciitis

A

Foot orthoses

36
Q

Night splints

A

1 to 3 mo program of night splints for individuals with heel pain who consistently have pain with first step in the morning

37
Q

Foot orthoses and PF

A

short term intervention (2 weeks) to reduce pain and improve function

focus on supporting medial arch and cushioning heel

good for those who respond well with taping

not to be used as a isolated treatment

38
Q

Manual Therapy and PF

A

helps to decrease pain and improve function
joint mobs (subtalar, talocrural, and 1st MTP)
soft tissue mob of calf

do it for 1 to 3 months

39
Q

Therapeutic Exercises and Neuromuscular Re-Education

A

resistance training for foot and ankle
should also include stretching of calf
