MSK Basic Interventions Flashcards
Practice!
According to convex/concave rule, to inc R forearm SUP @ prox RU jt PT should perform what glide?
Roll POST and Glide ANT
- Sup is ANTERIOR
- PPP-> Posterior glide for Proximal RU jt for PRO
Remember ALL JTS ALTERNATE!!!!!
Stretch _ Strengthen
BEFORE!!!!
OKC vs CKC
Which better for strengthening?
And what else to remember?
CKC!!!
KNOW YOUR PLANE– what plane of mvmt is the question asking you about?–likely answer is mm that controls that plane of mvmt Ex. glute med and abduction if hip drop
Rule of 6–>
aka: 3 Phases of Rehab
- First 6wks
- Up to 12wks
- Up to 6mos
**Major sx’s like rotator cuff **
Practice:
39yo comes into OPPT c/o neck probs. Which of following ex combos is MOST approp for pt who has FHP?
Remember Jandas Crossed Syndrome!!!
- Strengthen DCFMs and Stretch SCM and Upper CS EXTs
- Upper Crossed: Inhibited (Weak)–> DCFMs + Lower trpz/Serratus ant.; Facilitated (Tight)–> Upper trpz/Levator + Pec minor/SCM
TibioFemoral Jt and Screw-Home Mechanism
- Lat femoral condyle is flatter, does not ext as far distally, projects further post vs medial condyle
- Bc of this–> Tibia rotates LATERALLY (ER) ON FEMUR @ full EXT==Screw-Home
- This is in OPEN CHAIN–> last 20-30deg EXT
- Remember “Paper on Tibia trick”–It ERs!
NOTE: in CKC–Femur MEDIALLY rotates on TIBIA
Practice:
In order to UNLOCK knee from TKE in a CKC, what must occur?
LATERAL (ER) rotation of FEMUR on TIBIA
More on Screw-Home
- TOLL: Tibia in Open chain rotates LAT for LOCK
- CKC–> Femur moving on Tib
- Screw-Home in CKC–> Femur MED rotates on tib, so to UNLOCK must LAT (ER) rotate!
More on Screw-Home
OKC:
- Tibia Lat Rot== Locks
- Tib Med Rot== Unlocks
CKC:
- Femur Med Rot== Locks
- Femur Lat Rot== Unlocks
Iso vs Ecc vs Conc
Isometric: SAME length, no JRF
Ecc: Load > force (torque)
Conc: Load < force (torque)
Which type of contraction do biceps (elbow flexor/shoulder flexor/supinator) undergo as shoulder moves 180-90deg of flex?
ECCENTRIC—> biceps move from more flexion to LESS, Triceps working conc.
Another example: Stand–> Sit== Rec fem (quads) ecc. work to SLOW US
Shoulder Rotators
Mnemonic to remember UPWARD ROTATION—->
SALUTE
- Serratus Ant
- Upper/Lower Trpz
Note: Force Couplebw Upper/Lower Trpz–> MUST AGREE W/ EA OTHER
Easy way to mimic Upward and DOWNward scapular rotation
USE HANDS!!!!
Upward we go into ABDUCTION
Downward we go into ADDuction
use hand and thumbs as scapulas!
UPward rotators of scapula
“SALUTE”
- Serratus Ant
- Upper trpz (force couple)
- Lower trpz (force couple)
DOWNward rotators of scapula
- Rhomboids
- Pec Minor
- Levator Scap
Upward/Downward Rotators of scapula
*Trick to remember
Remember which mm’s counter ea. other AND that Serratus ant HELPS w/ upward rot & Pec minor HELPS w/ downward rot
- Upper trpz (UPward) matches w/ Levator (Downward)
- Lower trpz (Upward) matches w/ Rhomboids (Downward)
