w/o Theraband: FLX and wall climbs

33
Q

Hydrotherapy is recommended (before/after/before and after) TSA surgery

A

before and after

34
Q

What is the goal of hydrotherapy when treating TSA?

A

Regain NM equilibrium rather than strength of each muscle group

35
Q

What are the restrictions of TSA? For how long?

A

No resisted IR for 6 weeks

Avoid heavy pushing/pulling/lifting for 6 weeks

NWB activity for 3 months

36
Q

How long does it take to perform a reverse TSA?

A

two hours or less

37
Q

How long is a hospital stay s/p Reverse TSA?

38
Q

Where is the incision made for a reverse TSA?

A

clavicle to the middle of the lateral forearm

(deltoid is cut in the direction of its fibers)

39
Q

During a reverse TSA, the humeral head is resected to face (medially/laterally) using an oscillating bone saw

40
Q

Once the reverse TSA is complete, the ___ tendon is secured back onto the humerus but the remaining RTC is not detached.

A

subscapularis

41
Q

What are indications for reverse TSA?

A
  • elderly patient
  • IRREPARABLE RTC TEAR
  • pseudoparalysis
  • Fx to proximal humerus w/ poor bone and RTC quality
  • proximal humerus tumor
  • RA with RTC tear
  • failed TSA or hemiarthroplasty
42
Q

What are contraindications of a reverse TSA?

A
  • axillary nerve deficiency
  • infection

44
Q

Risk of infection with a reverse TSA is ___-___%

45
Q

(true/false) the biomechanics between a traditional TSA and reverse TSA prosthetic are the same.

46
Q

Traditional TSA uses a ____ approach.

A

deltopectoral –> minimizes surgical trauma to the anterior deltoid

47
Q

Early ____ activity is contraindicated when a superior approach of a traditional TSA is used.

A

deltoid activity

48
Q

There is a higher risk of dislocation of a prothesis when what shoulder motions are performed?

A

IR, ADD, EXT

49
Q

What are the shoulder dislocation precautions? How long do they last?

A

12 weeks

No shoulder motion behind the lower back and hip

No combined shoulder ADD, IR, and EXT

No GH joint EXT beyond 0 degrees

Active shoulder ROT is dependent on the post operative condition of the _____.

A

teres minor

52
Q

Normal/full AROM (is/is not) expected with TSA.

53
Q

what are the phases of treatment for TSA?

Q

What are the precautions of Phase I of TSA rehabilitation?

A
  • sling (3-4 weeks)

55
Q

What is the criteria to progress from Phase I to Phase II of TSA rehab?

A
  • toleration of shoulder PROM
  • toleration of elbow, wrist, hand AROM
  • able to isometrically activate the deltoid and periscapular muscles
56
Q

During week 6 of TSA rehab, you can start PROM IR, if tolerated but it cannot exceed ___ degrees.

A

50 degrees

57
Q

When should shoulder AAROM and AROM be introduced during TSA rehab?

58
Q

What grade of joint mobilizations can be used during phase II of TSA rehab?

A

Grades I and II at GH and ST joint

59
Q

What are the criteria to progress from phase ii to phase iii of TSA rehab?

A
  • improving shoulder function
  • ability to isotonically activate the deltoid and periscapular muscles
  • gaining strength
60
Q

What are the precautions for phase III of TSA rehab?

A
  • no lifting of more than 6 pounds
  • no sudden lifting or pushing activities
61
Q

What is the criteria for discharge in phase IV?

A
  • able to maintain pain free shoulder AROM
  • Proper shoulder mechanics (80-120 degrees of ELEV and Function ER of 30 degrees)
62
Q

(true/false) Reverse shoulder surgery first developed in response to a weak or dysfunctional rotator cuff.

63
Q

(true/false) In a reverse total shoulder replacement, the socket and metal ball are switched. The metal ball is fixed to the glenoid and the plastic cup is fixed to the proximal end of the humerus.

64
Q

(true/false) There is NOT a risk for glenoid loosening, destruction of implanted screws and glenosphere disengagement with a reverse shoulder procedure.

A

false (there is a risk)

65
Q

Why does rehab differ with a reverse TSA?

A

Because there is a absent or minimally functional RTC
