lecture 3: exercising after back sx and SI joint movements Flashcards
what is the main post op complications after back sx
local/systemic infection
what does PEACE and LOVE and when do u do it
Protection
Elevation
Avoid anti inflammation
Compression
Education
immediately after a injury
Load
Optimism
Vascularisation
Exercise
after the first days have passed
when do u usually want to load a ligament graft
around 6 weeks
when is the maximum protection phase for post op and what is it characterized by , time frame and things to consider
immediately after sx
characterized by tissue inflammation and pain
time frame : days to 6 weeks
things to consider
- possible immunization/ WBing stu’s
- bracing
- light loading
when is the moderate protection phase for post op , time frame and things to consider and what AROM do u return to
intermediate phase of healing , decreased tissue inflammation and pain allows for more mobility
time frame: 4-12 weeks
things to consider: Restore normal arthrokinematics
Gradually increase strength
Improve neuromuscular control and stability
full , pain free AROM
what is the minimum protection phase for post op , what is the time frame and what are things to consider
little to no protection of sx tissues requires
time frame: 6wk to 12 months
Things to consider:
Restore functional strength
Consider sport/activity specific training
Be specific in patient education
what is an absolute indication for sx
cauda equina syndrome
acute loss of function
what are post op precautions after lumbar spine sx
BLT’s
- No Bending
No Lifting (over 10 pounds)
No Twisting
extension instanteous axis of rotation comes with aging and the lumbar spine.. what is decreased and what is increased
decreased segmental control from the disc
increased stress on the facets and disc
side bendinginstanteous axis of rotation is from agin and the lumbar spine … what 2 things are increased
- increased shearing and increased facet chondral load
what is a major stabilizer of the spine and is key for appropriate mobility and helps create coupled motions
intervertebral disc
what is it called when they remove a small amount og vertebral disc
microdiscectomy
what is a fusion
bones used to fuse the vertebrae together
what is often resected in a laminectomy
ligamentum flavum
after a laminectomy when can a patient start using a stationary bike
not until 3 weeks
what is a decompression without fusion called
miscrodiscectomy
what is detached during a microdiscectomy
detach the lateral attachments of the flavum ligament from the lamina
what is a medial facetotomy compared to a lateral facetotomy
if they remove part of the superior facet for medial
if they cant get it with medial may also take some of the inferior facet for a lateral
