Q

What general concepts are important to consider (according to Reinold) with procedural intervention?

A
  1. Need to address multi-systems (vitals, vascularity, senses, motor control)
  2. Interventions are frequently multi-phasic (progression)
  3. Patients’ anatomy, pathoanatomy, biomechanics, and impairments are key factors

Q

Many factors impact intervention, name 5 (in no order of importance).

A
  1. Pre-morbid status
    - Posture
  2. Acuity level; nature/stage of healing
    -Fracture
    Callus -2-3 weeks
    Clinical Union - 4-6 weeks
    -no structures moving; different than radiological union
    Consolidation - 6-8 weeks
    -more maturation and resistance to force
  3. Barriers or hindrances to healing
    - age
  4. Patient reactivity level; pain, muscle guarding, effusion, edema
    - pain before / after intervention
  5. Patient goals

Q

When thinking about intervention, you obviously want to address the MOST important impairment first. What 3 other elements are key considerations (eluding to intervention structure)?

A
  1. Which of the patient’s impairments should be first addressed?
  2. Which of the four muscle performance and movement control factors above should be addressed with this patient?

-tissue specificity is important to consider

Q

During intervention, it’s necessary to have the appropriate response to the phase of healing. Early on, maximal protection is required. How about intermediate and advanced stages of healing?

A

Moderate protection and return to function respectively.

Q

Where in the available ROM are joint mobilizations done? How many oscillations and how long for treatment?

A

At the end of range.

If oscillating use 2-3 oscillations per second for 30-60 seconds, rest one minute, reassess, repeat until maximum gain or patient fatigue (change position, grade, and/or technique if not providing expected benefits)

Q

Does a grade II Maitland go up to the 1st tissue stop? What about a grade IV?

A

No, II is below the first tissue stop. A grade IV oscillates above first tissue stop.

Q

When doing mobilization with movement, describe the procedure you would take with GH ER and the parameters.

A

Patient in prone, working on anterior GH capsule. Put arm into maximal ER and apply anterior glide moving in and out of ER as you mobilize.

DOSE

  • 30 to 60 seconds of movement
  • stop, break and reflect
    • did the patient react well?
    • is it affecting movement?
  • after 2/3/4 times there should be some advancement or gain in motion

TREATMENT
-start at the end of the range

Q

When approaching interventions, what is the most common angle biomechanist take? What’s another approach?

A

Body structure and function (impairment level)

You could approach intervention from an Activity (function) level. Either the exercise used for body structure and function will help regain their function of the actual intervention is functionally (task or part task) based.

Q

Ultimately, participation level gains are what people want. How would you reflect this in your goals?

A

By stating that the job isn’t done until the patient has regained x,y,z in participation level need.
