Selective Tissue Flashcards
T/F patient is best source of information into their condition
True
T/F Leading question should be used with patient
False
What are inherent likelihoods when diagnosing soft tissue injuries?
- Soft tissue lesion behave in typical ways = regularly be faced with the same history and the same response to functional testing
- Examiner with knowledge of these patterns can recognize them quickly
Why should we be cautious about relying a lot on palpation?
Can help to narrow down the area/tissue to evaluate
Can be unreliable – structures lie too deep
Choose contractile tissue/non-contractile tissue/both:
Stress with stretching
Both
Choose contractile tissue/non-contractile tissue/both:
Stress with isometric contraction
Contractile tissues
Choose contractile tissue/non-contractile tissue/both:
Stress with palpation
Both
Choose contractile tissue/non-contractile tissue/both:
No increase in discomfort with isometric contraction
Non-contractile tissues
Choose contractile tissue/non-contractile tissue/both:
Joint capsules, ligaments, bursae, aponeuroses, nerves
Non-contractile tissues
Choose contractile tissue/non-contractile tissue/both:
Tendons, muscle, musculotendinous junctions, bone adjacent to attachment of tendon
Contractile tissues
What is meant by the “patient’s pain”? Are we looking for that?
We must ask if the pain we evoke is the pain in which they are seeking treatment for (it is what we are looking for)
AROM is a quick way to narrow down what two things in regard to selective tissue tensioning?
Quick way to narrow down source of symptoms
Quick way to narrow down structures to test in detail
What 4 things should we observe during AROM?
- Pain
- Range of motion
- Quality of movement
- Willingness to move
Compare AROM to what on uninvolved side and what on ipsilateral side?
Compare to uninvolved side AROM, PROM, resistance testing, and palpation
Compare to ipsilateral results of PROM, resistance testing, and palpation
What 4 things should we observe during PROM?
- Pain
- Range of motion
- Willingness to allow movement
- End feel
