Periostitis Flashcards
which 3 muscles most commonly have pain with periostitis
tibialis posterior
soleus
flexor digitorum longus
where does periostitis develop
insertion of the leg mm’s on tibia - usually in the ones that attach postero-medially
causes of periostitis
overtraining
poor technique
running on hard surfaces or uneven surfaces
improper footwear
predisposing factors
poor biomechanics
excessive pronation, external rotation of hip, varus knee (outward) occurs with posteromedial periostitis
forefoot varus, tight gastrocs/soleus occurs w anterolateral periositis
what all fall under the term shin splints
periostitis
compartment syndrome
tibialis posterior tendonitis
tibial stress fractures
what is posteromedial periostitis also called
medial tibial stress syndrome
tenoperiostitis
soleus syndrome
posteromedial periostitis occurs w what
excessive pronation
varus (varum) knee
excessive external rotation of hip (abducted gait)
anterolateral periostitis occurs w
forefoot varus and tight gastroc/soleus
when are symptoms worse for periostitis during the gait cycle
pre swing phase
with anterior comparntment syndrome which movements are restricted
AROM dorsiflexion
PROM plantar flexion
where is the pain located with tibialis posterior tendoinitis
along course of tendon, posterior to medial malleolus and along proximal tibia
when does pain usually occur with periostitis
worse in morning, decreases w warm up, returns near end of activity
where is pain felt with tibialis posterior tendonitis
along course of tendon, posterior to medial malleolus and along proximal tibia
w anterior compartment syndrome which mm’s are tight
gastrocs
soleus –> overloads anterior compartment mm’s
