wk 1- questioning/documentation Flashcards
questions to ask
sporting activity
training load (and changes)
footwear
playing surface
NILDOCART
N-nature (symptoms of pain)
I- intensity (pain scale- patient reported outcome measure)
L-location (pt to point and note anatomy and surrounding anatomy)
D- duration, how long has it been painful, has it changed over time
O- onset (acute, v chronic)
C-complicating factors (swelling, medical, weakness, numbness, instability)
A-aggravating factors (what makes the pain worse? footwear, walking, rest, running
R-relieveing factors (what makes the pain bettter? rest, ice, NSAIDs, walking)
T- treatments used what treatments have been used and what works, have you seen any other health professional
F’s
- Fit (length, width, depth)
- Function: Suitability for purpose
- Fatigue: Visual inspection of wear patterns (outsole, insole) - pressure distribution, compression of midsole, check during shod gait assessment
- Features: Laces/fastening system, midsole compound, Design features
running a consult
NILDOCART
sport/training load/surface/ footwear history
medical history
footwear examination
postural/functional examination
passive ROM (non weightbearing)
muscle strength testing
gait analysis- visual or dartfish/zebris (what gives pain? running, walking, shod)
palpation (uninjured and sore spot last)
special tests
neuro, vascular, derm tests
Dx and Ddx (with:
* location of injury
* tissue affected
* causative factors
* likelihood that diagnosis is correct)
SHORT TERM (likely, symptomatic relief and rest)
LONG TERM plans (likely exercise rehab program)
acute injuries
single identifiable traumatic event
force applied exceeds tissue tolerance resulting in macrodamage
rapid onset of symptoms
can be an extrinsic or intrinsic cause
stress v strain (elasticity/plastic)
elasticity- body tissue will return to origin shape once forces are removed
plastic- tissue deforms irreversibly
high elastic modulus
tissues hard to deform
low elastic modulus
tissues easy to deform
elastic limit
when tissues go from an elastic state to a plastic state
stress/ strain of tendons and ligaments
strain of 4% - microdamage
strain of 8-10%- plastic state
further than 8-10 is rupture
stress / strain of bone
increase in load (yeild stress) until it accumulates to a large strain and causes microbreaks causing the bone to be less stiff (plastic region) or break completely
acute responses to injury with different structures in the body
damaged blood vessels - bruising
inflammatory cascade- swelling
exudate - swelling
phagocytosis- removal of damaged tissue for healing
nociceptors- pain
muscle inhibition/protective spasm
acute inflammatory phase lasts how long
2-3 days
unless theres still pain at rest, changes in swelling
using anti inflammatories for acute injuries
inflammatory process helps heal tissue, medications arent recommended during this phase
PEACE and LOVE
p-protect
e-elevate
a-avoid anti inflammatories and ice
c-compression- reduce swelling
e-educate
l-load
o-optimism
v- vasuclarisation- low impact conditioning
e- exercise for rehab
