test 2.6 Flashcards
what does osgood-schatter result in
osteoblatic activity causing more bone to grow.
true or false
a person with osgood-schatter needs to have their tibial tuberosity shaved down
false, they can have it shaved down if they want to or leave it alone
whats the treatment for patellar tendiopathy
heat, rest, and ultrasound
where does patellar tendon rupture usually occur
from the tibial tuberosity
how do you perform Clarke Sign
grip around the top of the knee cap and shift inferior and ask patient to contract quads
yes or no
is the Clarke Sign a good test
no
what does PFS, PFD, PFPS stand for
PFS= patellofemoral syndrome PFD= patellofemoral dysfunction PFPS= patellofemoral pain syndrome
what does Multifactorial mean
caused by many things
does PFD track the patella medial or lateral
lateral
true or false
Tight lateral structure and pointy lateral femoral condyle can lead to PFD
true
how is patellar apprehension test performed
mob the patella lateral while patient is supine, positive test results in pain or if quads contract
if the patella tracks lateral what is it due to
Tight IT bands
what does larger Q-angle result in
lateral movement of patella
which is more common medial or lateral plica
medial
what is a Plica?
synovial fold in the knee
how is the Stutter test performed
patient sitted on the edge of table, palpate the medial and lateral boarder of the patella, and hold while the patient ACTIVELY flexes and extends the knee. Note any crepitus and pain.
what does patellar tendinopathy make one susceptible to
patellar ruptures
whats the signs and symptoms of patellar tendinopathy
- localized edema and pain
- difficulty and pain with AROM and RROM with Knee Extension
- pain with PROM knee flexion
what the MOI for patellar tendon rupture
- powerful quad contraction
- tendon degeneration
what the signs and symptoms for patella tendon rupture
If the patella pulled into the quads
whats the special test for chondromalacia patella
Clarke Sign
whats the MOI for patellafemoral dysfunction
insidious
Multifactorial
whats the signs and symptoms for patellofemoral dysfunction
- pain with bent knees
- knee buckling and then gives away
- catching, popping, or grinding
whats the special test for PFD
- Clarke sign
- Patellar apprehension
whats the cause of abnormal Q-angle
lateral vector pulls patella lateral
what the cause of excessive pronation for PFD
increase tibia IR causing patella lateral
what does ITB tightness cause with the patella
pulls patella lateral
what does poor hamstring flexibility lead to with PFD
increasing the patellofemoral joint reaction force
whats the signs and symptoms of Plica injuires
- Usually traumatic
- medial knee pain
- clicking, snapping, and popping with AROM
whats the special test for Plica injuies
Stutters
true or false
ER of femur and IR of tibia can cause patella to sublux lateral
false
it is ER of tibia and IR of femur
whats the special test for patella sublux/dislocation
apprehension
