forefoot

5 metatarsals and 14 phalanges

meniscal tears

Sometimes "locking" occurs with a meniscal tear, sometimes patients can move just right and it will unlock, or the PT may have to maneuver the leg to get it to unlock-see page 825. After acute symptoms subside following a meniscal tear, exercises should be performed to improve strength and endurance and progress toward functional activities Some pts can live with a small tear with some flare ups If large, may need to be removed or repaired Repair is lengthy recovery (6-8 wks NWB) because of lack of blood supply Avoid deep knee bending if they have a tear esp while loaded (like squatting) and no rotation while flexed

patellofemoral dysfunction

Typically a younger population (Jr high/high school/into 20s) Protection: If so painful they can't do anything, taping or bracing may be the best thing to do for a while to reduce pain to start strengthening Quad sets with or without towel roll for pain free, etc. Tell them to not do the painful activities like reciprocal gait pattern down stairs, they can do step to gait pattern on steps until the pain is diminished Sitting with flexed knee posture for a while will increase pain for this dx Controlled and return: Weakness in abd and ext rotators cause knees to come in when squatting and weight shifting and causes patellofemoral pain or even internal rotation at the foot and ankle causes patellar movement; strengthening these esp the hip can help this - may be motor control, other times just weakness Pt may mmt 5/5 but not have the endurance in the muscle still and may need strengthening

things to consider with each scenario

What are possible diagnosis or pathologies and what are their progressions? What stage in the healing process, or stage of inflammation are they in? What are the impairments, how do we address them, and where do we start? ROM Progression with Manual therapy consideration Modality Consideration (as a side note, not considered ther-ex) Exercise Progression: When to advance mode, intensity, volume, and duration

bones

anatomy review of ankle; tibia, fibula, 7 tarsals, 5 metatarsals, 14 phalanages

hypomobility

at the knee, ROM progression (PROM to AAROM to AROM), exercise mode progression: Isometric/muscle setting This mode can be used when muscle activation is not contraindicated, but motion may still be This mode can be used when you want to begin to facilitate neuromuscular control, proprioceptive feedback, improve circulation when you are still under strict ROM restrictions Usually earlier stages of rehab, but remember you need to do this form of exercise at multiple angles to get the most benefit from it if using it for strengthening in later stages of rehab. DCER Minimal to no resistance at first. Multiple tools to perform exercises Consider concentric and eccentric type exercises Usually began slowly during sub-acute phase if there are no restrictions from surgery Stabilization Exercises- exercises to cause quick activation and deactivation or co-contraction of muscles to cause stabilization of the joint. These usually will begin towards the end of the sub-acute phase or later Functional Exercise Began in later sub-acute or chronic stages of rehab Always need to consider the functional goals of the patient. Plyometric and Sport Specific Not began until later stages of rehab, once ROM is fully re-gained and good quality muscular control achieved When to advance? Once patient can perform easier exercises with good form and control without pain or inflammation you may advance mode, intensity, volume, and duration.

hypomobility

at the knee, this has possible diagnoses of osteoarthritis and post immobilization, common body structure and function impairments: loss of ROM/stiffness, pain, quad inhibition, decreased balance; common activity limitations: pain with WB limits household and community activity (may include ADL), difficulty with sit to stand, stairs, squatting (often use hips and back to avoid squatting all together)

ligament injuries

at the knee; Joint Effusion/Swelling can cause Quad inhibition and should be addressed at the beginning of rehab. Protecting the joint initially by ambulation with crutches WBAT while avoiding pivoting is also important in early stages of rehab ROM exercises within tolerance and quad setting exercises can also begin in early stages of rehab Later stages of rehab should include improving muscle performance, functional status, and cardiopulmonary conditioning 1 minor sprain, 2 moderate, 3 rupture Joint mobility work in controlled motion phase and beyond includes patella mobilizations along with stationary bike, tib/fib mobilizations and as much movement as possible from the patient Protective bracing may be needed to support the healing ligament Strength and endurance should be progressed through many modes/types of exercise An example of the rehab process through all phases of rehab for a ligament Injury is written out on page 808-809. Make sure to read this table

cervical/thoracic; increased thoracic kyphosis, rounded shoulders, forward head; causes: slouching, poor ergonomic alignment in work, lengthened back muscles, too many flexion exercises in general ex program; bad bc: stress to ant LL in upper cervical and PLL in lower cervical, facet joint irritation in ext, narrowing of IV foramen

ligamentous injuries

common body structure and function impairments of this in the ankle: pain, excessive motion or instability, impaired balance, edema, decreased ROM at times; activity limitations: restricted ambulation, difficulty walking, running or quick directional changes; most common is inversion ankle sprain; medial (deltoid) is much less common but usually also causes evulsion fracture

hypomobility

common pathologies in ankle of this are degenerative joint disease, post immobilization stiffness, gout (typically only in MTP of the great toe); common body structure and function impairments: decreased ROM, pain, muscle weakness due to deformity and mechanical disadvantage of the tendons, poor balance; common activity limitations: decrease ambulation due to pain and risk of falls, decreased ability to perform household and job related tasks due to inability to weight bear

hip abductors

fire to control the pelvis (fire the most when in contralateral limb swing to keep the pelvis up)

post op

for the hip, we must follow these precautions, for ex: after a total hip performed from a posterolateral approach the pt is limited to hip flexion <90, adduction and IR no further than neutral; must follow WB restrictions, must protect healing of soft tissues surrounding surgical procedure; pt will then fall under a hypomobility classification for slow progression of exercise within the restraints of WB and motion precautions

nonstructural scoliosis

functional or postural scoliosis, reversible, can be changed with forward/side bending or positional changes; causes: leg length discrepancy, muscle guarding from a painful stimuli

stabilization exercises

knee hypomobility; exercises to cause quick activation and deactivation or co-contraction of muscles to cause stabilization of the joint. These usually will begin towards the end of the sub-acute phase or later.

impaired posture

little muscle activity is required for upright posture; activity helps to keep curves at appropriate level; relaxation causes exaggeration of curves leads to postural impairment and muscle strength and flexibility imbalances

relaxed or slouched posture

lumbar/pelvic; anterior shift of pelvic unit (results in hip extension, increased lordosis of lumbar spine, kyphosis of thoracic spine, and forward head); causes: attitudinal, fatigue, muscle weakness, stretched lower abs, hip flexors, and extensors of lower thoracic region; bad bc: narrowing of IV foramen in lower lumbar, stress on facet joints, stress to ant LL of lower lumbar spine, PLL of upper lumbar and thoracic; sway back

flat low back

lumbar/pelvic; decreased lumbosacral angle, decreased lumbar lordosis, hip extension, posterior tilt; causes: cont slouching, flexion in sitting, overemphasis on flexion exercises in general ex program; bad bc: reduced shock absorption, stress to PLL, increased in posterior disc space (can lead to post disc protrusion)

lordotic posture

lumbar/pelvic; increase in lumbar lordosis/anterior pelvic tilt/lumbosacral angle; resultant increased thoracic kyphosis; stretched abs and shortened erector spinae; causes: pregnancy, obesity, weak abs, sustained faulty posture; bad bc: can narrow posterior disc space and IV foramen, compressing vessels and nerve roots, facet joint irritation due to increased weight bearing

functional

most pts begin to follow the same progression after early stages; ther ex still very specific to what goals; most pts fit into basic categories; progression of mode of exercise should also include working on strength, power, and endurance as discussed earlier; endurance and strength will come before power type training

midfoot

navicular, cuboid, three cunieforms

patient education

need active participation to identify desired outcomes, learn limits at each stage of healing, understand prevention (safe ways to exercise, proper body mechanics for high intensity activities, modify work/home environment, minimize stresses)

posterior tibial nerve

nerve subject to pressure and trauma; entrapment may occur in the tarsal tunnel just posterior to the medial malleoli

common peroneal nerve

nerve subject to pressure and trauma; pressure may occur as it courses laterally around the fibular neck and passes through the opening in the peroneus longus muscle

plantar and calcaneal nerves

spinal instability

neutral zone - point in range where no stress is placed on passive structures; instability - associated with an increase in the neutral zone; common causes: disc degeneration, spondylolisthesis, ligament laxity, poor neuromuscular control

controlled motion and return to function phases

non operative management of hypomobility at the hip in these phases includes progressively increasing joint play and soft tissue mobility (joint mobilization techniques, passive stretching, neuromuscular inhibition, and self stretching techniques), improving joint tracking and pain free motion (increasing internal rotation, flexion, extension, extension during WB activities), improving muscle performance in supporting muscles (neuromuscular faciliation with muscle setting and strengthening exercises progressing to functional activiites and balance then low impact exercise program), pt education

protection phase

non operative management of hypomobility at the hip in this phase includes decreasing pain at rest (low grade joint mobilizations), decreasing pain during weight bearing activities (use assistive device to reduce stress on joint, adapt seating surfaces as needed), decreasing effects of stiffness and maintain available motion (ROM exercises, aquatic therapy and nonimpact activities)

hypomobility

non-op management in hip and pelvis; related pathologies and etiology of symptoms: osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease), other joint pathologies can lead to degenerative changes in the hip (aseptic necrosis, slipped epiphysis, dislocations, congenital deformities), post immobilization; common impairments of body structure and function: pain in groin and anterior thigh to knee, stiffness after rest, limited motion with a firm end feel, antalgic gait, limited hip extension causing possible LBP and gait defects, impaired balance and postural control; common activity/functional limitations and participation restrictions/disabilities: early - pain with WB activities such as meal prep, cleaning, shopping esp at end of day/progressive degeneration - difficulty rising from chair, climbing stairs, squatting, bathing, dressing

pathology of these; common body structure and function impairments related to these protrusions in the lumbar spine: pain and muscle guarding, flexed posture and deviated away from the symptomatic side (lateral shift), neuro symptoms along a dermatome and maybe a myotome, peripheralization of symptoms with flexed posture, coughing, sneezing and straining

facets

pathology of these; common etiologies: sprain, degeneration (OA, DJD, spondylosis), impingement; pain: acute pain includes muscle guarding with all motions, when subacute and chronic is related to periods of immobility or excessive activity; impaired mobility: usually hypomobility and decreased joint play in affected joints, may be hypermobilty or instability during early stages; impaired posture; impaired spinal extension: ext may cause or increase neuro symptoms due to stenosis so may be unable to sustain or perform repetitive ext activities w/o exacerbating symptoms; any activity that requires flexibility or prolonged repetition of trunk motions may exacerbate symptoms in the arthritic spine

posture

position or attitude of the body, the relative arrangement of body parts for a specific activity, or a characteristic manner of bearing one' body; alignment of body parts; position of joints and body segments; balance between muscles crossing the joint

guidelines for stabilization training

principles and progression; begin training awareness of safe spinal motions and the neutral spine position or bias, have pt learn to activate the deep core stabilizing muscles while in the neutral position, add extremity motions to load the superficial global muscles while maintaining a stable neutral spine position (dynamic stabilization), increase reps to improve holding capacity (endurance) in the stabilizing muscles, increase load (change lever arm or add resistance) to improve strength while maintaining stability, use alternating isometric contractions and rhythmic stabilization techniques to enhance stabilization and balance with fluctuating loads, progress to mvmt from one position to another in conjunction with extremity motions while maintaining a stable neutral spine (transitional stabilization), use unstable surfaces to improve the stabilizing response and improve balance

kinesthetic awareness

proprioception training of safe mvmt and postures

core muscles

reasons to work on what: activate and develop neuromuscular control of core and global spinal stabilizing muscles to support the spine against external loading, develop endurance and strength in the muscles of the axial skeleton for functional activities, develop control of balance in stable and unstable situations, proximal stability for distal mobility, primary functions of the muscles of the trunk (keep upright posture against a variety of forces, provide stable base so extremities can execute function)

overuse and repetitive trauma syndromes

related pathologies of this in the ankle are tendinitis and tenosynovitis, plantar fascitis, shin splints; common impairments/disabilities: pain with palpation and repetitive activity, pain with weight bearing, muscle length and strength imbalances, abnormal foot posture, decrease ability to stand, decreased cadence of gait and restriction of sport or recreational activities

acute

spinal management in this stage (less than 4 weeks); modalities and manipulations (decrease symptoms), education as to not exacerbate symptoms, start core activation techniques

subacute

spinal management in this stage; when pain is no longer constant: educate (self management, relaxation, safe body mechanics), progress in spinal control practice, soft tissue mobility (manipulations, mobilizations, stretching), cardiopulm endurance

chronic

spinal management in this stage; when there are minimal impairments: educate (reemphasize previous techniques and principles), soft tissue mobility (manipulations, mobilizations, stretching), cardiopulm endurance

mobility/flexibility

stretching and flexibility exercises to increase mobility; move, stretch, manipulate restricting tissues

stability

structure is stable when line of gravity is within BOS; increased stability when lower COG or increase BOS; structures supporting body against gravity and other external forces (inert - osseus and ligamentous structures; dynamic - muscles)

global muscles

superficial: farther from axis of motion; cross multiple vertebral segments; produce motion; compressive loading with strong contractions; lumbar: rectus abdominis, external and internal obliques, quadratus luborum, erector spinae, iliopsoas; cervical: SCM, scalene, levator scapulae, upper traps, erector spinae

hindfoot

talus and calcaneus

referred pain

terminal point for L4, L5, S1 via the terminal branches of the peroneal and tibial nerves; these or sensory changes may occur from irritation or damage to these nerve roots

dislocations

these cause fractures and other damage typically

pathomechanics

these in the hip region: decreased flexibility, asymmetrical leg length (unilateral short leg, coxa valga and vara, anteversion and retroversion), hip muscle imbalances and their effects

foot

this is first to contact the ground in gait; its position and ability to do its job effects the entire kinetic chain ; even in static stance, the position effects the knee, hip, and lumbosacral regions

painful hip syndromes and overuse syndromes

this non op managment problem with the hips; related pathologies and etiology of symptoms: tendonitis or muscle strain, trochanteric bursitis (lateral pain), psoas bursitis (repetitive flexion, anterior/groin pain), ischiogluteal bursitis (tailors or weavers bottom, painful sitting); body structure/function impairments and activity limitations and participation restrictions: pain, gait deviations, imbalance in muscle flexibility and strength, decreased muscular endurance
