Midterm MSK Flashcards
What can cause a prosthetic gait deviation?
patient causes and prosthetic causes
What types of contractures are common with TTA?
knee flexion and hip flexion
What types of contractures are common with TFA?
hip flexion, ER, and hip adduction
What should the height be for a normal prosthesis?
5-10 deg of flexion
Transtibial prosthetic
Socket flexion, foot inset in relation to socket and socket translated anterior in relation to foot
Transfemoral prosthetic
Socket flexion, socket adduction, foot inset in relation to socket, and knee posterior to socket.
What are the main concerns of TFA ?
- Loss of knee extensor mechanism
- Loss of ADD power
- Decreased pelvic stability
- Disruption of normal femoral alignment
- Decreased hip muscular force generation
What major muscles do you lose with someone with TTA?
Gastroc and eccentric control of ankles
What major muscles do you lose with TFA?
Adductors
What are the big problems post ampuation ?
changes in center of gravity
loss of sensory feedback
loss of primary balance reaction - ankle strategy
increased time to respond to perturbations
Stance phase: terminal stance to pre-swing Possible Prosthetic Causes of Early Heel Rise:
- Excessive socket extension
- Excessive ankle PF
- Foot too anterior
- DF bumper too stiff
Stance phase: terminal stance to pre-swing Possible Patient Causes of Early Heel Rise:
Knee or hip flexion contracture not accommodated in alignment
Swing Phase: Possible Prosthetic Causes of Decreased Toe Clearance Prosthetic Causes
- Inadequate suspension/pistoning
- Prosthesis too long
- Excessive ankle PF
Swing Phase: Possible Prosthetic Causes of Decreased Toe Clearance Possible Patient Causes
- Improper donning of suspension
- Contralateral gluteus medius weakness
- Insufficient hip and knee flexion
Common Gait Deviations Related to Decreased
Weightbearing
- Midline shift to the intact side
- Adduction of the intact limb
- Decreased step length of the intact limb • Decreased stance time on the prosthesis • Limited weight shift on the prosthesis
- Increased upper extremity support
Swing Phase: Terminal Swing Gait Deviations Possible Causes of Decreased Stride Length on Intact Side
- Socket causing residual limb pain
- Factors that limit rollover
- Socket too extended
- Foot too forward
- Foot too PF
- Anterior bumper too stiff • SACH heel too soft
- Fear/inability to weight bear on prosthesis
- Hip flexion contracture on the prosthetic side
Indications to perform a grade V mobilization or high velocity thrust
Pain ( sub-acute, acute, or chronic) force progression (mobilizations provide translent pain relief) decreased ROM/ joint mobility
Contraindications for grade 5 manipulations (bone weakening pathology)
Metastatic disease
Infection (Osteomyelitis, tuberculosis)
Congenital (i.e. dysplasia)
Iatrogenic (long-term use of corticosteroids)
Inflammatory (rheumatoid arthritis)
Trauma/suspected or confirmed
Fracture
Spondylolysis/spondylolisthesis
Osteoporosis/osteopenia
Contraindications for grade 5 manipulations (neurological symtoms)
Cord compression
Cervical myelopathy
Nerve root compression with increasing neurological deficits
Cauda equina compression
Contraindications for grade 5 manipulations (vascular symtoms)
diagnosed or suspected carotid artery dsyfunction or vertebrobasilar insufficientcy
aortic aneurysm
blood disorder (hemophilia)
Use of anticoagulants
Relative contraindications
History of intervertebral disc injury
pregnancy
liagmentous laxity/ hypermobility
advanced degenerative joint disease
vertigo
psychological dependence on joint manipulation
Adverse Events: Transient
increased local pain or discomfort
stiffness, headaches, tiredness/fatigue, radiating/pain, dizziness, tinnitus and nausea/ vomit
Adverse Events: Serious
HNP, fracture of vertebra or ribs, vertebral artery dissection, CVA, cauda equina syndrome, spinal cord compression, Death
What are the pscyhological effects of manual therapy ?
Demonstrate we have found source of their pain and can reproduce it, strengthens therapeutic alliance with patients, placebo
What are the mechanical effects of manual therapy ?
stretch tight tissue
snap intra-articular adhesions
release entrapped meniscoid tissue with facets
increases arthorkinematics and osteokinematics motion
What are the neurophysiological effects of manual therapy ?
endogenous pain relief
decreased muscle guarding
decreased muscle inhibition
decreased sensitivity to pain: thermal, deep pressure and pin prick and temporal summation
