Quiz 1 Flashcards
External rotatory deformity ERD includes the following:
a. calcaneal varus, mid pronation and forefoot adduction
b. calcaneal valgus, midfoot supination and forefoot abduction
c. calcaneal varus, midfoot supination, and forefoot adduction
d. calcaneal valgus, midfoot pronation, and forefoot abduction
c. calcaneal varus, midfoot supination, and forefoot adduction
True of false: 3 point force systems can control forefoot adduction in standard FOs
False
FRO AFOs are effective to control up to 35 degrees of knee flexion
flase
3 point force system to control ERD for an smo are?
2 forces medially at the foot
1 laterally
Which joint of the foot provides DF and PF
a. midtarsal joint
b. subtalor joint
c. talocrual joint
d. metatarsal phalangeal
e. none of the above
c. talocrual joint
True or false: A torn ACL allows the femur to slide anteriorly on the tibial plateau and can lead to damage to the meniscus
false
True or false: The ACL, PCL, MCL, and lCL ligaments are the most important structures for stabilizing the knee.
False
Describe all the test and expected results you would do for a patient presenting with lateral compartment pain and an Rx for an unloader KO
Test for lateral compression pain, which is placing a valgus moment on the knee with the patient’s full weight on the leg. Have the patient hold onto something for stability in case knee gives out to pain. A positive test is increased pain.
Test also for medial ligament laxiety. This is putting a valgus force on the knee with the patient sitting. If there is excessive movement then there is ligament laxity
If she presents with pain in the medial compartment as well, is she a candidate for an unloader KO?
No, because a medial compartment test is what the brace will be doing when unloading the knee. If it still hurts then the brace will cause more harm and should not be given
