Active movements will give us information on:

-AROM ability/ quality of movement -restriction -hypermobility -pain (endrange, painful arc) -crepitus -willingness to move -structured stress (contractile/ non-contractile)

which tests can we use to determine if a knee pain is d/t ACL inj?

-Lachman's test (most sensitive for 1-plane ant instability, tests posterolateral band) -Anterior draw test (anteromedial band) -lever sign test (Lelli's test) -Macintosh lateral pivot shift test (more specific than lachman)

passive movements will give us information on:

-PROM/ patterns of restriction -guarding -pain/ irritability (before, at resist., after resist.) -end feel (normal vs abnormal) -structures stressed = non-contractile

how do we treat ACL tears?

-a combination of OKC and COC exercises are recommended -NMES- quad (early on)

what are normal end feels?

-bony (ex elbow) -soft-tissue approximation, 2 muscles (ex knee/ elbow flex) -elastic- soft stretch (ex MCP) -capsular- hard capsule or ligament (ex knee ext)

How do we treat an ACL sprain non surgically?

-bracing (derotation) -strengthening quads and hamstrings -perturbation training: dynamic control -activity modification

non-contractile tissues produce pain via stretch and pinch, and include examples such as:

-bursa -joint capsule -ligament -local adhesion -internal derangement -cartilage -bone/ osteophyte -blood vessel -dura mater

an UQ/LQ screen consists of:

-cervical or lumbar spine AROM/PROM/ resisted isometric movements -AROM of peripheral joints -myotome screen -dermatome screen (light touch)

how do we treat MCL sprain?

-conservative is better than surgical -early controlled motion ex: bracing, ROM, strengthening quads, gradual return to sport/activity

how do we treat LCL injury?

-conservative, like MCL - surgical repair along with ACL +/- pcl reconstruction -- there is a high risk for persistent disability and stiffness
