Q

what are teh variables for doing manipulations post inversion ankle sprains (lateral)

A
  • symptoms worse when standing
  • symptoms worse in evening
  • navicular drop > or even to 5 mm
  • distal tibiofubular joint hypomobility

if 3 are presents then probability to do manip is high

Q

what is the strong evidence against the use of ___ for lateral ankle sprains

A

ultrasound

19
Q

what is the first thing u do for ankle fx? and then what

A

1st see if ankle is broken or if imagin is needed with the ottawa ankle or foot rules

if (-) then treat as needed as sprain
if (+) then immobilization and clearance by MD

20
Q

what are the ottawa ankle and foot rules

A

ankle:
- bone tenderness of lateral malleolus
- bone tenderness of medial malleolus
- inability to WB in ER and after injury

foot:
- bone tenderness at base of 5th MT
- bone tenderness of navicular tubercle
- inability to WB in ER or after injury

just need 1 to be true to need imagine

21
Q

how does compartment syndrome occur

A

when tissue pressure within a closed mm compartment exceeds perfusion pressure

22
Q

when does compartment syndrome occur

A

w high velocity injuries , bone fx , penetrating injuries , snake bite and vigorous exertion

23
Q

what does a pt complain of w compartment syndrome

A

complain of “burning”, and worsens w/ stretching involved tissue

24
Q

what are the similar findings of achilles tendinopathy as w patellar tendinopathy

A

vasculo-neural in growth and lack of inflammatory markers

25
Q

achilles tendinopathy is suggest that neovascularization and neural in growth in ____ tendinosis related to pain

A

midsubstqnace

26
Q

for achilles tendinopathy … ___ training program appears to enhance more normal tendon structure and eradicate neovascularization … however, consider your pt’s
starting point

A

Eccentric

27
Q

what exercise for achilles tendinopathy is considered strong evidence (A)

A
  • Eccentric loading
  • Heavy load, slow speed (concentric/eccentric
28
Q

what stretching for achilles tendinopathy is considered weak evidence (A)

A
  • Ankle PFs w/ knee flexed and extended
  • Improve ankle DF ROM
29
Q

what is Posterior Tibialis Tendon Dysfunction

A

degenerative and progressive condition of the posterior tibialias tendon

30
Q

what is the observation and mobility for Posterior Tibialis Tendon Dysfunction

A
  • Observation: Loss of arch height, forefoot abduction, rearfoot valgus
  • Mobility: limited and/or painful plantarflexion
31
Q

what is the function and strength for Posterior Tibialis Tendon Dysfunction

A
  • Function: abnormal gait mechanics: decreased push off, pain with WB or single leg balance
  • Strength: weak and painful single leg heel raise, asymmetrical bilateral heel raise, weakness with inversion and plantarflexion
32
Q

what is the mechanics of dysfucntion of cuboid subluxation

A

almost always plantar subluxation

33
Q

what is the treatment for cuboid subluxation

A

• Cuboid whip
• Cuboid squeeze

34
Q

how do u want to customize the orthotics for plantar fasciitis

A

subtalar neutral

35
Q

how should the shoe wear be from plantar faciitis

A

improved CUSHIONING for supination foot
improved SUPPORT (rear foot) for pronator foot

36
Q

the cochrane review from plantar heel pain says there is ____ evidence supporting corticosteroids injections for short term relief of pain and ___ evidence supporting night splints for reducing pain in chronic conditions

A

limited 2x

37
Q

the study for plantar heel pain (young et al) used manual therapy techniques targeting the ___ , ___ and ____ joints and all 4 patients reported _____ pain at discharge

A

talocrural , subtalar , and tarsometatarsal joints
0/10

38
Q

according to the study (roos et al) did orthoses help with plantar faciitis

A

slight higher functional scores in orthotics groups but not difference in out come measures at 1 year

39
Q

what is considered strong eviednce for interventions for heel pain

A

65-70°

43

what is the wells criteria for PE/DVT

A

-clinical signs of DVT
- HR > 100 BPM
- immobilization for 3 days or longer

- alternative dx less likely then PE

> 6 pints is high
2-6 is mod
