Q

What are the four rules of referred pain from unilateral structures?

A

1- It does not cross midline
2- It refers distally (except at a distal site of injury)
3- It refers segmentally (according to the nerve supply of the structure)
4- It occupies part or all of its dermatome

Q

What is a capsular pattern?

A

When a joint capsule is irritated by irritation/degeneration/disease/trauma

The inflamed capsule contracts, producing a loss of range in a set pattern

Q

What are normal and pathological end feels?

A

Normal:
1- Elastic: capsular/ligamentous tightening
2- Hard: bone to bone or tough ligamentous tension
3- Soft: tissue approximation

Pathological:
1- Empty: Pain limits movement, no end point
2- Springy: intra-articular block, loose body
3- Spasm: hard twang of protective muscle spasm

2- Posture: slumped, exaggerated, tense, consistent with Hx
3- Gait: exaggerated, consistent with Hx
