OSCE Station 4 and 5 practice Flashcards
35 year old tennis player presents with anterior thigh pain P1 (0-6/10) that came on suddenly during a match 1/52 ago, while sprinting for a ball.
o/e
Knee ROM:
Active extension = full range & slight (+) P1
Passive extension = full range & painfree
Active flexion = 100degs & slight (+) P1
Passive flexion = 110degs & more (+) P1
Resisted tests:
Knee extension = (+) P1
Knee flex = (-) P1
What is the most appropriate manual technique for treatment today?
quads effleurage
consider location of the pain - instead of location of action involved

Why would dynamic hamstring massage be unhelpful?
The location of pain (anterior thigh) and resisted tests (pain on engaging quads for knee extension) point to a Quads STI

A 66 year old retired GP complaining of functional stiffness due to osteoarthritis.
Physical exam reveals hip flexion = 105degs, limited by stiffness
what is the most appropriate MT technique?
Lateral distraction Hip joint at 90 degrees flexion x Grade IV
A 58 year old office worker complaining of functional stiffness due to osteoarthritis.
Physical exam reveals hip abduction = 20degs, limited by stiffness
Longitudinal caudad Hip joint at 90 degrees flexion x Grade IV
45 year old woman presents with residual complaints of stiffness 6/12 after sustaining a conservatively managed undisplaced tibial plateau fracture. She reports moderate EOR knee pain P1 (0-4/10) that is non-irritable.
o/e
Knee ROM: Active = Passive
Extension: (-) 10˚ limited by stiffness & EOR P1
Flexion: WNL
Resisted tests:
Knee extension = (-) P1
Knee flex = (-) P1
Identify all of the possibly appropriate manual techniques for treatment?
PFJ - Superior glide x Gr II-III
Tibio-femoral joint - PA glide x Gr II-III
Quads tapotement
Quads effleurage

o/e
Knee ROM: Active = Passive
Extension: (-) 10˚ limited by stiffness & EOR P1
Flexion: WNL
Resisted tests:
Knee extension = (-) P1
Knee flex = (-) P1
Accessory exam:
PFJ = NAD
Tibiofemoral joint = hypomobile glide (accompanying knee extension), otherwise NAD
With the addition of the accessory exam, now identify the most appropriate manual technique(s) for treatment?
Tibio-femoral joint - PA glide x Gr II-III
19 year old ballet dancer presents 3/12 post Grade II ATFL ligament sprain (R) with residual complaints of stiffness, making it difficult to get back ‘en pointe’ i.e. on her toes to dance.
o/e
Ankle ROM:
Dorsiflexion - WNL, L = R
Plantarflexion - L = 60degs, R 40degs
Resisted tests: NAD
Identify all of the possibly appropriate manual techniques for treatment?
Talocrural joint - PA glide x Gr IV
DTF ATFL
Talocrural joint - Physiological plantarflexion x Gr IV

A 40 year old male recreational runner presents for treatment for chronic Achilles tendinopathy. This will include addressing known risk factors for tendinopathy. Which of the following is NOT a risk factor for Achilles tendinopathy?
Reduced ankle plantarflexion
accessory glide of hip flexion
AP
Accessory glide of hip abduction
lateral distraction
longitudinal caudad
Accessory glide of hip lateral rotation
PA (extension and lateral rot go together)
Accessory glide of hip medial rotation
(flexion and medial rot go together)
Lateral distraction
Accessory glide of hip extension
PA
Accessory glide of knee flexion
AP
longitudinal caudad
Accessory glide of knee extension
