Lecture 3 - Conditions of the Foot Flashcards

1
Q

We gather a lot of information stress testing»>

A

Athlete’s ability to move

  • Range of motion (ROM)
  • Athlete’s pain
  • Athlete’s strength
  • Instability
  • Pt. tenderness/crepitus
  • Functional capabilities

Q

Function testing is done in 3 ways:

A
Active 
-Passive ROM’s
-Resisted
ACTIVE always comes first!
Then PROM or RROM? Depends on the structure..

Q

Active functional testing:

A

Active testing is done by the athlete.

  • Observe quality and quantity of movement attained.
  • Note the most painful ranges and do them last

Q

Passive functional testing

A

Passive testing is done by the care-giver.
-Passive testing is intended to test the inert (non-contractile)
tissues of the patient.
-This is best done with the athlete relaxed, and supported.
-Note pain-free ROM, guarding, laxity, etc..

Q

Resisted functional testing

A

Resisted testing involves both the examiner and the athlete.

  • Involves an isometric muscle contraction w/ joint neutral.
  • Strength is then evaluated on a scale of 1-5

further complications.

19
Q

Myositis Ossificans

A

Ossification of tissues within the muscle belly.
-Can result in a palpable lump.
