Grade I (Kaltenborn)

"loosening" movement is an extremely small traction froce that produces no appreciable increase in joint separation. GradeI traction nullifies the normal compressive forces acting on the joint

Grade III (Kaltenborn)

"stretching" movement is applied after the slack has been taken up and all tissues become taut

Grade II (Kaltenborn)

"tightening" movement first takes up slack in the tissue surrounding the joint and then tightens the tissues

effeurage STM

"tough lightly" - used to warm up tissue, lymphatic drainage, relaxation - apply distal to proximal (follows lymphatic drainage)

direct method to assess joint mobility

(glide testing) - passive translatoric gliding movements are applied in all possible directions to determine joint-gliding restrictions - preferred method as it gives the most information about the degree and nature of restriction - relies on end feel

close packed position

(only 1 closed packed position for a joint) - maximal tautness of major ligaments - maximal surface congruity - minimal joint volume - maximal stability of the joint - movement toward close packed position involve an element of compression

resting position

(only 1 resting position) - slackening of major ligaments - minimal surface congruity - minimal joint surface contact - maximal joint volume - minimal stability of the joint - movements toward open packed position involve an element of distraction

lbp with related cognitive or affective tendencies categorized by one or more of the following:

open packed position

- Any position but "close-packed" - Joint surfaces do not fit congruently - Also referred to as loose-packed position

possible consequences of excessive pronation

- training transverse abdominis and/or lumbar multifidi = motor control training is superior to general exercise in patients with recurrent or chronic BLP

what predicts better outcomes after an ankle fracture?

- unimalleolar fracture had better outcomes than bimalleolar and trimalleolar (distal post tib) - increased DF ROM after cast removal had better outcomes - age was not a predictor

specific exercise: lateral shift criteria

- visible frontal plane deviation of the shoulder relative to the pelvis - directional preference for lateral translation movements of the pelvis

considerations for HEP for children

- who is responsible? - fit the family's schedule into exercises: ex heel raises while brushing teeth

windlass effect

-as you go into extension at MTP, it pulls on aponeurosis (plantar fascia) which pushes tarsal bones up -high arches = pes cavus

effects of immobilization

-cartilage degeneration (thinning or softening) -decreased mechanical and structural properties of ligaments; disorganized cellular and fibrillary alignment, weakening of insertion sites -decreased bone mineral density -weakness/atrophy of muscles; decreased strength and increased fatigue - increase scar tissue - adhesion between synovial folds in joint

-red flags -medical comorbidities precluding rehab -leg pain with progressive neurologic deficits

movement control treatments

-sensorimotor exercises -stabilization exercises -flexibility exercises = improve quality of movement

STM techniques

-sustained pressure -effleurage -strumming -petrissage

considerations when foot pronation is excessive

1. hypomobility of foot and ankle segment (ankle, STJ) 2. hypermobility of foot and ankle segment (TNJ, CCJ) 3. weakness of perimalleolar muscles 4. combination of all of the above

proliferation timing

1 day after injury up to 6 weeks - peaks in 2-3 weeks

3 answers to "is physical therapy appropriate?"

1. Yes 2. treat and refer 3. no, refer out

STM uses (7)

1. address tissue restrictions 2. reduce spasm 3. improve lympathic flow/decrease edema 4. reduce pain 5. improve ROM/flexibility 6. increase temperature due to change in peripheral blood flow --> bring nutrients to area 7. improve balance when combined with mobilization

guidelines for mobilization with movement (mulligan)

1. identify aggravating movement 2. select appropriate glide 3. weight bearing or no weight bearing depending on severity, irritability and nature of patient problem 4. glide is sustained throughout the movement until joint returns to starting position; pressure sustained, being aware of minor alterations in treatment plane 5. mobilizations always performed into resistance and without pain 6. immediate relief and improvement in ROM is expected (PILL)

CPG parallels TBC except 3 things:

1. incorporates ICF terminology of body function impairments 2. addresses psychosocial domains by adding cognitive and affective domains, generalized pain 3. assesses level of acuity in terms of duration of symptoms and relationship to movement and pain

stabilization criteria for postpartum

1. posterior pelvic pain provocation test 2. ASLR 3. provocation of long dorsal ligament 4. modified trendelenburg

CPR: individuals who responded better (after manipulation) had three of the following four findings:

6 components of FPI

1. talar head palpation 2. supra and infralateral malleolar curve 3. calcaneal frontal plane position 4. bluge in region of TNJ 5. height and congruence of medial longitudinal arch 6. abduction/adduction of forefoot on the rearfoot

imaging signs of tendonosis

1. tendon enlargement 2. destruction within tendon; white noise 3. fluid at surface of tendon

joint mob treatment procedure for decreasing pain

1. test to determine grade reproducing pain 2. apply sustained/oscillary hold at a grade lesser than that reproducing pain (grade 1 or 2 sustained hold or oscillation) 3. hold for 7-10 secs or oscillate at 2-3 Hz for 40 secs, repeat 3-5 times 4. reassess to determine the grade reproducing pain
