Q

Painful stretching of a muscle/tendon and painful ROM n is suspicious for what?

A

Muscle/tendon injury

17
Q

If a joint is restricted secondary to pain in all planes of motion, what is this?

A

Capsular pattern

18
Q

Treatment of SD improves bodily function how?

A

Reducing hyper-sympathetic activity

19
Q

What is the ANS supply to the LE?

A

T11-L2

20
Q

What are the 5 steps of improving LE vascular input and drainage?

A
  1. Opening fascial pathways
  2. Maximizing pressure gradients between thorax and abdomen produced by improving respiratory efficacy
  3. Improve muscular contraction
  4. Eliminate the tourniquet effect found in the hip, knee, and ankles
  5. Lymphatic pumping
21
Q

What are the ottawa ankle rules? (4 areas of TTP, exam finding)

A

TTP over the medial malleolus or navicular bone

TTP over the lateral malleolus or styloid process of 5th metatarsal

Patient cannot weight bear

22
Q

What are the four steps of the DMU sprained ankle protocol?

A
  1. Reset the talus in the mortise of the ankle
  2. Milk the peroneal muscles
  3. Correct the ipsilateral fibular head
  4. Correct the ipsilateral posterior 3rd rib
23
Q

What is the cause of a high ankle sprain?

A

Tearing of the syndesmosis

24
Q

True or false: when evaluating any issue with the lower extremity, you should alway assess the hip, knee, and ankle

A

True

25
Q

What is the mechanism of the injury with a high ankle sprain?

A

Inversion injury

26
Q

What information should be gathered with a history for a joint injury?

A
  • Learn mechanism of injury

- Narrow the exam down to the smallest amount of tissue area

27
Q

What is the order of the examination for a joint?

A
  1. Inspect
  2. ROM
  3. Resistance/strength
  4. Ligaments
  5. Joint surfaces
  6. Palpation
28
Q

What are the components of the unhappy triad?

A
  • Torn lateral meniscus
  • ACL tear
  • Medial meniscal tear
29
Q

What is the treatment for a second degree ligament spain?

A

Rehabilitation or regenerative injection therapies

30
Q

What are the two ways of improving muscular contraction?

A
  • Remove SDs innervating the muscle

- Treating muscle strains and imbalances
