Q

True or false; you cannot underload an injury

A

False; underload causes it to get weaker.

Cartilage, muscles, and ligaments need forces applied to it in a progressive manner to allow adaptation.

Q

What are the PCL rehab guidelines?

A
  • PWB/WBAT with use of locked brace until quad control (~4 weeks)
  • Progressive ROM (0-90 for 4 weeks)
  • Focus on quad control and stability
  • No isolated HS strengthening ~12 weeks
  • Criterion based progression
  • Expected Return > 6 months

Q

How do you manage an acute MCL tear rehab?

A
• Protect against valgus and tibia rotation
—Use of brace 
• Control effusion/swelling 
• Early and progressive ROM 
• Early quad activation 
• Normalize gait
17
Q

What is the exercise progression of an MCL tear in the restorative phase?

A
  • Sagittal plane—> frontal plane
  • Bilateral—> unilateral
  • Leg Press/ wall squats/ Mini squats
  • Balance/Perturbation training
  • Side stepping and cariocas
  • Toward uninvolved harder
18
Q

How do you manage ITB friction syndrome?

A

Manage pain and inflammation

Address individual impairments

19
Q

What are some things you’d expect to see during the reactive phase of a tendinopathy?

A

Pain
Decreased function
Water in tendon

But it is a reversible process and the tendon is still normal

20
Q

What is the cause of patella tendinopathy?

A

Increased tensile loads placed on patella tendon

21
Q

What are some methods of managing tendinopathy?

A

Tendon unloading
Normalize ROM
Promote tendon healing/ balance
Promote strength/ balance above and below
Challenge in functionally progressive manner

22
Q

Pt has the following:
Decreased medial patella tilt to horizontal
Decreased medial glide of patella Lateral knee tightness

What’s the diagnosis?

A

Patella lateral compression

23
Q

Pt has the following:

Hypermobile patella (hypoplastic groove) Quad weakness

What’s the diagnosis?

A

Patella instability

24
Q

Pt has the following:

Movement dysfunction
Hip Weakness
Ankle ROM limitations

What’s the diagnosis?

A

Biomechanical dysfunction

25
Q

Pt has the following:
History of trauma Swelling/external bruising

What is the diagnosis?

A

Direct patella trauma

26
Q

Pt has the following:

Palpation along joint line Joint effusion
Taping with asterisk sign

What is the diagnosis?

A

Soft tissue lesions

27
Q

Pt has the following:

Training errors/change in activity
Tenderness along tendon
STTT

What is the diagnosis?

A

Overuse syndromes

28
Q

What are the treatment guidelines for patella compressions?

A
  • STM (distal and prox)
  • Patella mobility
  • Patella taping
  • Muscle stretching
29
Q

What are the treatment guidelines for patellar instability?

A

• Bracing (static stability) • Dynamic stability of

kinetic chain

30
Q

What are the treatment guidelines for a biomechanical dysfunction?

A
  • Hip and Ankle
  • LLI
  • Orthoses (temporary)
31
Q

What are the general treatment guidelines for direct patella traumas?

A
  • ROM activities
  • Modalities (pain/ effusion) control
  • Gradual loading
32
Q

What are the treatment guidelines for soft tissue lesions?

A

• Limit painful activities in
acute phases
• Restore Biomechanics
• Taping often helpful

33
Q

Who is at risk for shoulder injuries?

A

Overhead sports
Collision sports
Risk of falls

34
Q

What are the phases of a throw?

A
Wind up 
Early cocking phase
Late cocking phase 
Acceleration phase
Deceleration phase
