Post Op Care Flashcards
During RCR phase 1 , what PROM are u doing from weeks 2-4
- flexion to 90°
- abduction to 90°
- ER 30°
- IR 30°
- extension 30°
(ER/IR in scapular plane as well as flexion)
What kind of joint mobs would u do for weeks 2-4 if RCR phase 1
Grade 1 and 2 for pain relief
When should u initiate scapular isometrics and rhythmic stabilization drills for RCR
Weeks 2-4
Put in about 90° for the deltoid
What PROM are u doing during weeks 4-5 for RCR phase 1
- flexion to 120°
- abduction to 120*
- ER to 30°
- IR to 45°
- extension to 30°
When would u use heat during RCR
Prior to ROM exercises
What PROM can u do in weeks 5-6 for RCR phase 1
PROM in all directions as tolerated
When do u start AAROM and stretching exercises to fain full motion for RCR
Weeks 5-6
When does the sling usually come off during RCR
6 weeks
What is the criteria needs to advance to phase 2 for RCR
- improving PROM
- flexion PROM : > 125°
- ER PROM in scapular plan to > 75° ( if uninvolved shoulder PROM > 80)
- IR PROM in scapular plan to > 75° ( if uninvolved shoulder PROM > 80)
- abduction PROM to > 90° in scapular plane
When is phase 2 during RCR
Usually between weeks n 6-14
When will surgeons say to start strengthening for RCR
Around weeks 8-12
What shoudl focus be on in RCR phase 2
Dynamic stability
What is the criteria to advance to Phase 3 for RCR
• Full AROM and PROM.
• Pain free with all strengthening exercises.
• Dynamic shoulder stability
When is RCR phase 3
Usually between weeks 15-24
When do u start to work on power for RCR
Phase 3 - weeks 15-24
There should be no ___ patterns during strengthening activities during what phase of RCR
Substitution
Phase 3
What is the criteria needs to advance to phase 4 (return to sport) fort RCR
- Maintenance of full pain-free ROM.
- Functional use of upper extremity.
- Full muscular strength and power
What is a consideration if the subscapularis tendon is respected and then repaired through the deltopectoral approach
Requrires slow progression of ROM into ER and delayed IR strengthening
If the mm is anchored in a shortened position then shoulder alignment and mobility is affected
What could a concomitant rotator cuff repair lead to
Excessive strain on teh RC during rehab or increased glenoid stress —> leading to re rupture
The size of the ___ ___ component may decrease strain on the rotator cuff but could lead to limitations in
range of motion.
Humeral head
What does a reverse TSA involve the switching of
The humeral head prosthetic component wiht the glenoid component —> this lengthens the lever arm during mm activation allowing for increased deltoid activation and limited RC engagement
Bigger head= decrease mobility , but increased stability vise versa
When would u perform a reverse TSA
If rotator cudd integrity is poor
For a TSA what are the goals int he immediate phase
- reduce pain , inflammation and muscular inhibiton
- gradually increase PROM of shoulder and restore AROM of elbow , wrist and hand
How long should a sling be worn for a TSA
For 3-4 weeks
