-Arches are good at handling compressive forces -Bony architecture of medial longitudinal arch is metatarsal bone, medial and intermediate cuneiform bone, navicular, talus, and calcaneus

Subtalar joint

-Axis: This axis is a single oblique axis *Runs through where navicular and talus hit each other back toward lateral side of calcaneus -Because the joint's axis is oblique, we observe a component of subtalar motion no matter which of the three reference planes (sagittal, frontal, or transverse) that we use as our point of view. -The axis may be a line that connects the points at which the talus contacts the navicular anteriorly and the calcaneus inferiorly. -Get pronation and supination at this joint -Close packed position : Supination

Normal subtalar joint pronation (closed chain)

-Calcaneus everts. -Talus adducts and plantar flexes -Tibia follows talus so that it rotates internally while knee flexes. -STJ pronation causes MTJ axes to become parallel, making foot flexible and adaptable to different surfaces. -STJ pronation functionally shortens the LE, assisting in shock absorption

Grade III ankle sprain treatment

-Casting or bracing are required -Likely will require >6 weeks before return to full function *Proprioceptive training and Eccentric strengthening is essential -May take 1-4 years before symptom free

Cuboid syndrome

-Causes - speculative *Subluxation of cuboid *Abnormal pull of peroneus longus *Some report increased pronation as a factor or symptom -Symptoms *Lateral midfoot pain *Feels like they are walking on pebbles *Unable to run, jump, or cut *Palpable tenderness to plantar aspect of foot over calcaneocuboid joint -Rx *Devo - Ah, whip it good **Some prefer the cuboid squeeze - same end position as the whip, wait for tissues to relax then use thumbs to relocate cuboid *Low-Dye taping to maintain arch for 1-2 weeks *Soft tissue mobilization - peroneals and long dorsiflexors

Chronic ankle instability: treatment

-Conservative 2-3 months *Phase I-IV *Leg brace, taping, or orthotic support -Surgery *Overall success rates for surgery >80%

Phase III ankle sprain treatment

-Criteria: Ambulates FWB no Pain (may still need brace or heel lift) -Unilateral balance training -Progress to single heel raises -Treadmill - progress to fast walking -Eccentrics & Planks

Phase IV

-Criteria: Pain free unilateral heel raises -Jog to run progression -Cutting maneuvers -Sports specific training

Chronic ankle instability: outcome measure

-Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool -Identification of Functional Ankle Instability

Hallux limitus/rigidus

-DF of big toes is limited *Arthritis *Anatomical abnormality - index plus forefoot *Pronation *Trauma -Test: quick scan - standing see if they can just lift their big toe without lifting the others. Should be greater than 10 degrees of DF. -Treatment: rest, PRICED, shoe modification (larger toe box - rocker bottom), joint mobilization, exercise, corticosteroid injection, surgery *Don't forget to include: Sesamoid mobilization, flexor hallicis strengthening, cues to push through hallicis with gait

Abnormal pronation physical exam

-Decreased medial arch -Abduction of forefoot -Hallux valgus -Rearfoot valgus -Rearfoot or forefoot varus -Internal tibial torsion -Femoral antetorsion Genu valgus

Compartment syndrome

-Defined as increased tissue pressure contained in a nonexpansile space -Raised pressure within a closed fascial space reduces capillary perfusion, placing the enclosed structures at risk -Most commonly observed after acute injury or ischemia in upper and lower extremities -Other variants do exist: abdominal, epidural, CHI, and glaucoma -acute and chronic

Rehab post fasciotomy

-Depends on the reason for onset of symptoms (tibial fracture vs exertional) *limited weight bearing on the involved limb, use of an assistive device as needed, *flexibility and range of motion exercises, *weight resistive exercises, *stretches, *soft tissue mobilization, *and modifying certain activities of the patient

Achilles tendonitis

-Dutton states, "most common overuse injury of LE" -5-18% of all running injuries

Under-pronation wear pattern

-Excessive wear along lateral outsole -Excessive wrinkling of lateral midsole -Lateral tilt

Over-pronation wear pattern

-Excessive wear along medial outsole -Excessive wrinkling of the medial midsole -Medial tilt

Hallux valgus

-Exostosis: bony formation -Cannot correct major bunion with manual therapy -Can do manual therapy for minor bunion or after bunionectomy -Joint mobs for adequate dorsiflexion -Exercises to strengthen the abductor hallucis -orthosis

Treatment of achilles tendonitis

-Focus for the patient are the symptoms. -Focus for the therapist are the causes! *Decreased DF, overpronation, etc -Acute *PRICED *Heel wedge *Rest **Immobilization may be required (e.g.., cam boot) *Modalities (pulsed US, iontophoresis) *Prevent increase PF -Rehabilitative phase *Some suggest a 12 week program *Manual therapy *Progress to eccentrics with the knee bent and straight **Heel drop down ex **3 set of 15 reps with body weight TID *Final stage should closed chain challenges and incorporate activity specific ex **Figure 8 running, one-legged hop, carioca, wobble board

Forefoot-strike wear pattern

-Focused outsole wear over mid and forefoot -No visible heel wear -Wrinkling of midsole in mid and forefoot

Chief complaint

-Have patient point to the area with one finger *They may complain of an "ankle sprain" while pointing elsewhere e.g.. 5th metatarsal fracture -What happened? -Which way did it bend? -Could you walk -how much swelling/ecchymosis -When did it happen? -What have you done for it? -Have you sprained it before?

Rear foot varus

-Heel strike is more lateral than usual -STJ pronates beyond normal -medial bunion from excess pressure -hammer toes -heel callus or bump due to pressure of the heel against the shoe -Therapists can eliminate the need for compensation by supporting the deformity using a medial heel wedge or an orthosis with a medial heel wedge.

Turf toe

-Hyperextension sprain typically with a compressive load (less often due to hyperflexion injury) *Varus or valgus stresses may have been imposed *Capsule can be torn *Sesamoid fractures can occur *Cartilage damage -Dutton (2017, p.1150) states that 50% of the athletes may continue to have unresolved symptoms even 5 years later. -Treatment: PRICED, limit DF, motion and resistance as soon as symptoms allow, may need limited WB, could be out of sports participation for up to 6 weeks. Modified shoe. Needs 90 DF before returning to play. Non-athletes need 75 decrees of 1st MTP DF for normal walking.

Lateral ligaments

-Lateral side does not have as many ligaments as medial side -Plantar ligaments -Lateral collateral ligaments- 3 components: posterior and anterior talofibular ligament, calcaneofibular ligament -ATF is intracapsular ligament, other two are extracapsular ligaments

Mechanisms of recurrent ankle sprains

-Ligaments healed in lengthened position -Less tensile strength than normal -Muscular weakness - incomplete rehab -Tibiofibular instability -Hereditary hypermobility -Loss of proprioception -Undiagnosed cuboid subluxation, subtalar instability, or other disorder -Functional instability (loss of ankle kinematics) -Some propose weak core trunk muscles

Stress fractures signs

-Localized tenderness (medial aspect of tibia or 2-3 inches superior to fibular malleolus) -WB may or may not be painful -Percussion sign -US over site - pain continues 1-2 hours after US -May not be visible on radiographs for 2-8 weeks after injury

Inspection and palpation

-Most helpful during the acute phase -Remember your anatomy! -If not, look it up! -Palpate the structures you know *Boney prominences *Ligaments *tendon insertions

Achilles rupture

-Most likely to occur in the middle-aged athlete with peak incidence occurring in the early 40s At push off Sudden DF with FWB during fall Violent DF with jumping from higher surfaces Immediate pain *Difficulty walking *Often an audible "snap" *Swelling *Palpable defect

Plantar fasciitis etiology

-Multifactorial -Decrease PF strength -Obesity -Antetorsion -Decreased DF -Over pronation -Pes cavus -Improper shoe wear -Overtraining -Occupational

Forefoot varus

-Normally you expect 10-12 degrees of varus -Some state that it is the leading cause of abnormal pronation -Abnormal STJ pronation occurs as a result of trying to bring the 1st ray to the ground -retards midstance/terminal stance supination -try to bring first metatarsal to ground so they pronate -correct with medial forefoot wedge

Grade I West Point

-One ligament injured. -Edema and ecchymosis are often present (caused by tearing of the vasculature); the person is able to ambulate with stability. -ATFL is tender with lateral sprains. -60-70% of all ankle sprains involve the ATFL -Anterior drawer test = Sen 73% & Spec 97% -Anterior drawer + pain with palpation + bruising = Sen 100% & Spec 77%

Mechanisms of Achilles tendonitis

-Overpronation -Decreased dorsiflexion -Weak PF -Altered blood supply -Improper training

Grade I ankle sprain treatment

-PRICEDEM -Brace for 10-14 days (stirrup brace or similar) when performing athletic events, average return to full activities in 11 days is expected. -Rehab: peroneal strengthening and proprioceptive training *Eccentric strengthening is essential -Educate that it may take several month to regain full ligamental stability

Phase I of ankle sprain treatment

-PRICEDEM -Temporary Stabilization -Limit weight bearing -AROM exercises 30 reps, QID (pain free) -Core strengthening

Acute presentation of compartment syndrome

-Pain is disproportionate to the injury; progressive; not relieved by morphine; spontaneous at rest; and worsened by passive stretching of the involved muscles -Involved compartment may also be palpably tense, have signs of numbness, pulselessness, partial paralysis, and paleness.

Plantar fasciitis signs and symptoms

-Pain upon initial weight-bearing -Pain at medial calcaneal tubercle -Pain with prolonged weight-bearing or increased activity (e.g., running or stair climbing) -Pain with DF, which is further exacerbated with 1st MTP DF *Great toe DF range is often limited to less than 90 degrees -Rest relieves symptoms

Signs and symptoms of posterior tibial tendonitis

Muscular support of lateral arch

-Plantar fascia -intrinsic muscles -Fibularis brevis -Fibularis longus -Fibularis tertius tendon (everts and dorsiflexes): 80-95% of pop has this tendon, if you do not have the tendon you are not at a greater risk for ankle sprains or decreased strength

Ankle dislocations with no fractures

-This takes a high degree of trauma and force.

Grade III West Point

-Three ligaments are involved. -Edema and ecchymosis are more diffuse than the previous grades; the person is typically unable to weight bear, the joint is grossly unstable, the foot usually drops and supinates (with lateral ankle sprains). -ATFL, CFL, and PTFL are tender to palpation with lateral ankle sprains. (Lateral Ankle Sprain Grade III = ATFL + CFL + PTFL are injured) -Fractures must be ruled out, especially with the skeletally immature population.

Grade II West Point

-Two ligaments are injured. -Edema and ecchymosis are more extensive. -The person may or may not be able to complete what they were doing when injured (be it ADL, Work, or Leisure, i.e., basketball player may be able to finish the game). -ATFL and CFL are tender to palpation with lateral sprains. -20% of all ankle sprains involve ATFL & CFL

Plantar fasciitis treatment

-Typically does not resolve quickly -Reduce the pain & inflammation -Decrease the stresses imposed on the tissues *Night splint *Orthotics (i.e., heel wedge) -Strengthening *Muscles that support the arch of the foot *Intrinsic strengthening **Towel curls **Pick-up marbles **toe taps *Don't forget to address proximal areas of weakness (e.g.., Hip Abductors) -Flexibility *Triceps Surae *PF stretching **Rolling foot over a tennis ball **Rolling foot over a frozen plastic bottle *Friction massage at insertion -Training issues *Running constantly around a track in one direction

Shin splints/ tibial stress syndrome

-anterolateral *Pretibial muscles (TA, EHL, EDL) **Hard surfaces **Poor heel cushioning **Imbalance between pretibial and triceps sure *Symptoms typically at HS or swing phase -posteromedial *Primarily related to overpronation *Symptoms exacerbated in late stance *May lead to medial tibial stress syndrome

causes of central cord syndrome

• Anterior and/or posterior cord compression • Caused by an acute hyperextension injury. • Caused by chronic or congenital condition that results in progressive stenosis • Spondylosis • Osteophytes can create a "pincer" effect • Damage is from microvascular compromise of the center of the cord

anterior cord syndrome causes

• Aortic insufficiency • Atherosclerosis • Disc herniation • Bone, cartilage, or other trauma that compromises the integrity of the anterior spinal artery. • Frequently caused by teardrop or "burst" fractures of the vertebral body.

how to reduce edema

• Ask patient to sleep with arm in 30 degrees elevation • Use compression wraps to control edema • Use splints • Use activity and exercise • Gentle retrograde massage

clinical picture of central cord syndrome

• Bilateral flaccid paralysis and sensation loss due to loss of the grey matter (LMN!!) AT the level of the injury • BELOW the level of the injury the client will have spastic paralysis in the order listed in the previous slide. • Clients can re-gain motor function and sensation and will do so first in the sacral, then lumbar, then thoracic and finally cervical tracts. • Progress may stop at any time • 77% regain ambulation, 53% BBS, 42% hand fxn

clinical picture anterior cord syndrome

• Bilateral flaccid paralysis and sensation loss due to loss of the grey matter (LMN!!) AT the level of the injury • BELOW the level of the injury the client will have spastic paralysis with voluntary motor and (pain and temperature) sensory loss. • Posterior column function remains intact on both sides. • They have touch, proprioception, kinesthesia, sense of pressure • They LOSE pain and motor • Prognosis is poor for ANY motor return

what happens with central cord syndrome

• Central gray matter is compromised first because its metabolic and and perfusion needs are greater, thus is more at risk during periods of compromised circulation • Central white matter is also compromised • Any hemorrhage or edema begin in the center of the cord and spread to the periphery. • Resolution occurs in the opposite manner

decerebrate posture cause

• Damage to upper midbrain and lower pons; can also be a sign of bleeding in the brain or brain herniation; far more serious than decorticate posturing • It is possible to have alternating decorticate and decerebrate posturing on one side of the body or the other.

PNF cons of remediation

• Delay of fxnl independence • Significant hands-on approach • Labor-intensive and prolonged • Poor evidence

prognosis for cauda equina lesion

• EXCELLENT!! Peripheral injuries regenerate! • Pain can be a limiting factor to return of strength and function. • Average clients will NOT re-gain calf and foot intrinsic strength (due to degeneration of the myoneural junction over the time the nerve needs to regenerate), and may require orthotics. • Nerves regrow about an inch a month

causes of edema

• Lack of muscle contraction acting as a vascular pump • Entrapment/impingement due to a postural change after stroke • Sympathetic nerve response to hemiplegia (RSD) • Blood clot/DVT

incomplete lesion

• One in which there is partial preservation of sensory and or motor function below the neurological level and in the lowest sacral segment. (S2-5) • Is there bowel, bladder, sexual function? If so, it's incomplete **named by the lowest normal level**

PNF pros of compensation

• Quick compensation • Environmental adaptation • Practice new skills

intervention for RLA level IV and V

• Reduce agitation through motor activity and structured schedule • May need 24-hour supervision

PNF pros of remediation

• Reduce sensorimotor deficits and promote motor recovery/improve function of impaired segments • Requires voluntary movement • Training focuses on remediation of impairments

what do you want to do immediately following a stroke

• Stop progression of lesion • Reduce cerebral edema • Decrease risk of hydrocephalus • Treat seizures • Reduce secondary complications

PNF cons of compensation

• Suppress some parts of recovery • Learned non-use • Develop splinter skills: cannot be easily generalized to other environments or variations of the same task

how to name SCI

• The level named is the last level in which motor and sensory function are completely normal

cauda equina lesions clinical picture

• These injuries occur at L1 vertebrae or below. • Damage thus occurs to the cauda equina, NOT the spinal cord! • Because these injuries injure peripheral nerves, there is a flaccid paralysis with no spasticity. • Patients DO have severe amounts of pain, parasthesia, burning, and tingling occurs. • Peripheral nerves grow back

brown squared syndrome

• When something bisects the spinal cord (stab, gun, etc.) • Can be causes by unilateral facet lock injuries, burst fractures at the lateral body of the vertebrae What happens- One half of the spinal cord in damaged • Prognosis is very good • Nearly all patients are able to walk, although some with orthotics on one leg and with a cane... • 80% regain hand function, 100% regain bladder function, 80% regain bowel function.

three strategies for DD

• pathophysiologic reasoning- signs and symptoms • pattern recognition- identify a problem via characteristic groupings of findings, signs, and symptoms. (aunt Minnie) • probabilistic reasoning- use the information at hand along with knowledge of the incidence of certain pathologies to express the likelihood of a specific problem (ex: heard pop + playing football + can't walk = ACL)

what is shoulder/hand syndrome

• sympathetic nervous system overflow • hypersensitivity to pain • lose active (those with motor control) and passive (without motor control) ROM, stand weight bearing

considering age of child with Thera ex

≤7 y/o = little or no weight and low volume 8-10 y/o = gradual increase in load and low weight (e.g., 15 reps with good form, 1-3 lbs) 11-13 y/o = progressive load, but advance exercise should have little or no load 14-15 y/o = resistance with sport specific exercise ≥ 16 y/o = entry-level adult programs
