What is the CS position for the lateral trochanter (TFL) TP?
Pt’s knee aBducted and slightly flexed
What is the CS position for the lateral trochanter (IT band) TP?
Pt’s hip/thigh is aBducted and slightly flexed
Which TP is located on the distal aspect of the biceps femoris near attachment to the posterolateral surface of the fibular head?
Lateral Hamstring
What is the correct positioning for the lateral hamstring TP?
- Pt’s knee is flexed and tibia is ER with slight aBduction
- Compression on calcaneus is added to plantarflex the ankle
What is the CS position for the medial hamstring TP?
- Pt’s knee is flexed and tibia is IR with slight aDduction
- Compression on calcaneus added to plantarflex ankle
What is the CS position for the lateral meniscus/lateral (fibular) collateral lig. and for the medial meniscus/medial (tibial) collateral lig. TP?
- Lateral = thigh aBd. off table, flex knee ~35-40°, tibia is aBd. and ER or IR
- Medial = thigh aBd. off table, flex knee ~35-40°, tibia is aDd. and ER or IR
Tx of which TP is shown here?
Anterior Cruciate
Tx of which TP is shown here?
Posterior Cruciate
Which TP is this and what is the correct positioning?
Popliteus; pt’s knee flexed and tibia is IR
What is the correct positioning for tx of the Extension Ankle (Gastrocnemius) TP?
Pt’s knee flexed and dorsum of foot on doc’s thigh, add compression thru calcaneus
What is the correct positioning for tx Medial Ankle TP?
INVersion to foot/ankle with slight IR
What is the correct positioning for tx Lateral Ankle TP?
Apply EVersion to foot/ankle w/ slight ER
What is the correct positioning for tx of Flexion Calcaneus (Quad. Plantae) TP?
Pt’s knee flexed w/ dorsum of foot on doc’s thigh, translate calcaneus toward the forefoot
What is the correct positioning for tx of Navicular TP?
Pt’s knee flexed; dorsum of foot on doc’s thigh; plantar flex subtalar joint + supination of forefoot
What is the correct positioning for tx of Supraspinatus TP?
Pt supine w/ arm flexed to 45º + aBd. 45º + ER
Which TP is located inferior and lateral to the spine of scapula (posterior medial aspect of GH joint) and how is it tx?
- UPPER infraspinatus
- Pt supine + arm flexed ~90-120º and ABducted + IR/ER to fine tune
How is the lower infraspinatus TP tx?
Pt is LR (TP up) + arm flexed ~135-150º + aBducted + ER
What is the tx for the Subscapularis TP?
Pt supine + shoulder extended and IR, traction may help
What is the correct positioning for the biceps brachii (long head) TP?
Elbow and shoulder flexed + arm minimally ABducted and IR
What is the correct tx positon for biceps brachii (short head)/coracobrachialis?
Pt supine w/ elbow and shoulder flexed, arm is minimally ADducted and IR
What is correct tx position for radial head - lateral (supinator) TP?
Pt’s elbow in full extension, forearm supinated + vaLgus force
What is the correct tx position for Medial Epicondyle (Pronator Teres) TP?
Pt’s elbow flexed, marked pronation + forearm aDducted
What is the correct tx position for the dorsal wrist (extensor carpi radialis) vs. (extensor carpi ulnaris) TP?
- ECR = pt’s wrist passively extended and aBducted
- ECU = pt’s wrist passively extended and aDducted
What is the correct tx position for the 1st CMP (abductor pollicis brevis) TP?
Pt’s wrist passively flexed, thumb aBducted
