Asterixis

A

“Liver flap” is observed by having the patient extend the arms, spread the fingers, extend wrist and observe for the abnormal “ flapping” tremor at the wrist

If a tremor is not readily apparent ask the client to keep the arms straight while the therapist gently provides overpressure into wrist extension. Asterixis may also be observed when releasing the pressure in the arm cuff during blood pressure readings.

Q

Sports hernia

A

Or hockey hernia or athletic pubalgia

Patients experience a “weakening or tearing of the transversalis fascia, conjoined tendon, and/or internal oblique fibers, creating an inside out hernia within the dorsal wall of the inguinal canal.

Associated with twisting, turning or directional changes in speed causing the hip to move into abduction adduction or extension

Ballistic movements such as frequently observed in soccer and ice hockey players leads to shearing at the pubic symphysis and resultant stress on the above structures

Q

Neer 3 stages of primary impingement

A

Stage 1 edema and hemorrhage results from mechanical irritation of the tendon by impingement incurred with overhead activity

Stage 2fibrosis and tendonitis. Occurs from repeated episodes of mechanical inflammation and may include thickening-of subacromial bursae 25-40 years old

Stage3. Bonespurs and tendon rupture. Results of continued mechanical compression of the rotator cuff tendons.

67
Q

Secondary impingement

A

Because of increased humeral head translation the biceps tendon in the rotator cuff can you come impinched as the result of the ensuing instability. A progressive loss of joint stability is created when a dynamic stabilization functions of the rotator cuff or diminished to fatigue and tendon injury. The effects of secondary impingement can lead to rotator cuff tears of instability and impingement continue.

A

A Weight-bearing and non–weight-bearing concentric and eccentric exercises should be implemented within 4 to 6 weeks,
2 to 3 times per week for 6 to 10 months, to increase thigh muscle
strength and functional performance after ACL reconstruction.

115
Q

CPG Patellofemoral Pain

specific modes of therex

A

A Clinicians should include exercise therapy with combined
hip- and knee-targeted exercises to reduce pain and improve patient-reported outcomes and functional performance in
the short, medium, and long term. Hip-targeted exercise therapy
should target the posterolateral hip musculature. Knee-targeted
exercise therapy includes either weight-bearing (resisted squats)
or non–weight-bearing (resisted knee extension) exercise, as both
exercise techniques target the knee musculature. Preference to
hip-targeted exercise over knee-targeted exercise may be given in
the early stages of treatment of PFP. Overall, the combination of
hip- and knee-targeted exercises is preferred over solely knee-targeted exercises to optimize outcomes in patients with PFP

116
Q

CPG Patellofemoral Pain

PATELLAR TAPING

A

B Clinicians may use tailored patellar taping in combination
with exercise therapy to assist in immediate pain reduction, and to enhance outcomes of exercise therapy in the short
term (4 weeks). Importantly, taping techniques may not be beneficial in the longer term or when added to more intensive physical
therapy. Taping applied with the aim of enhancing muscle function is not recommended.

117

126
Q

Hip Pain and Mobility Deficits—
Hip Osteoarthritis:

MANUAL THERAPY

A

A Clinicians should use manual therapy for patients with mild to
moderate hip osteoarthritis and impairment of joint mobility,
flexibility, and/or pain. Manual therapy may include thrust, nonthrust,
and soft tissue mobilization. Doses and duration may range from 1 to
3 times per week over 6 to 12 weeks in patients with mild to moderate
hip osteoarthritis. As hip motion improves, clinicians should add exercises including stretching and strengthening to augment and sustain
gains in the patient’s range of motion, flexibility, and strength.

127
Q

Hip Pain and Mobility Deficits—
Hip Osteoarthritis:

– FLEXIBILITY, STRENGTHENING, AND ENDURANCE EXERCISES

A

A Clinicians should use individualized flexibility, strengthening,
and endurance exercises to address impairments in hip
range of motion, specific muscle weaknesses, and limited thigh (hip)
muscle flexibility. For group-based exercise programs, effort should
be made to tailor exercises to address patients’ most relevant physical
impairments. Dosage and duration of treatment for effect should
range from 1 to 5 times per week over 6 to 12 weeks in patients with
mild to moderate hip osteoarthritis.

128
Q

Hip Pain and Mobility Deficits—

each to the anterior, lateral, and posterior hip for a total of
10 treatments over a 2-week period) in addition to exercise and hot
packs in the short-term management of pain and activity limitation
in individuals with hip osteoarthritis.

129
Q

Hip Pain and Mobility Deficits—
Hip Osteoarthritis:

BRACING

A

F Clinicians should NOT use bracing as a first line of treatment.

orthosis worn at night for short-term symptom relief and
functional improvement for individuals with CTS seeking nonsurgical management.
C Clinicians may suggest adjusting wear time to include daytime, symptomatic, or full-time use when night-only use is
ineffective at controlling symptoms in individuals with mild to moderate CTS. Clinicians may also add metacarpophalangeal joint immobilization or modify the wrist joint position for individuals with
CTS who fail to experience relief. Clinicians may add patient education on pathology, risk identification, symptom self-management,
and postures/activities that aggravate symptoms.
C Clinicians should recommend an orthosis for women experiencing CTS during pregnancy and should provide a postpartum follow-up evaluation to examine the resolution of symptoms.

133
Q

CPG Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

biophysical agents

A

C Clinicians may recommend a trial of superficial heat for
short-term symptom relief for individuals with CTS.
C Clinicians may recommend the application of microwave
or shortwave diathermy for short-term pain and symptom
relief for patients with mild to moderate idiopathic CTS.
C Clinicians may offer a trial of interferential current for
short-term pain symptom relief in adults without pacemakers with idiopathic, mild to moderate CTS. As with all electrical modalities, contraindications should be taken into
consideration before choosing this intervention.
B Clinicians should not use low-level laser therapy or other
types of nonlaser light therapy for individuals with CTS.
C Clinicians should not use thermal ultrasound in the treatment of patients with mild to moderate CTS.
