Q

**4 levels of DDH

A
  • Subluxable: femoral head can easily be partially displaced to the rim of the acetabulum
  • Dislocatable: femoral head is in the socket but it it can be displaced completely outside the acetabulum wiht manual therapy
  • Dislocated: femoral head lies completely outside hip socket but can be reduced with manual therapy
  • Teratologic: femoral head lies completely outside the hip socket & cannot be reduced with manual pressure

Q

Describe the management of Postural TEV

A
  • AROM: encourage DF & eversion
  • PROM: gentle passive stretches
  • Taping: may include maintaining the corrected alignment of the foot & ankle with adhesive taping
  • Follow up: once correction is attained there is no potential for relapse, so you can discharge the child, with parent able to return if concerned

Q

What is the steps of ponseti correction technique?

A
  1. Correct the cavus
    o 1st MT is in more fl than other MT (causing cavus)  corrected by ext the 1st MT + holding forefoot in supination to align w/ midfoot and calc
    o Heel is not touched
  2. Re-align the fore-foot, mid foot and hindfoot= swing foot outwards
    o Gradually abduct supinated foot under talus w/ counter-pressure on head of talus to stabilize bone
    o Medial tarsal lig are stretched allowing calc to abduct w/ foot + ant tuberosity of calc is disengaged from its position under head of talus
  3. Correct into DF
    o Don’t do this early or else mid foot will break – must do above 2 steps first
    o Corrected when dots on head of talus and on nav coincide + ant tub of calc is disengaged from its position under headl of talus
  4. Overcorrection – getting to neutral is not enough
    Requires full abd of midfoot and forefoot – stretches tight medial tarsal ligs through full ROM

21
Q

What is cranial index and what does it measure

A

Anteroposterior measures

22
Q

treatment for plagiocephaly

A

ABC
Active baby- play positions
Balanced handling- carrying in diff postions
Correction strategies- encourage baby to turn their head to their non-preferred side

23
Q

Treatment for torticollis

A
  • Parent education
  • Active facilitation: into limited range of movement
  • Positioning: encourage movement into limited range movement
