repetative stress males 20-50 ice hocket, soccer more common in preseason *noncontact, overuse* strength imbalance between propulsive and stabilizing msucles may cause strain (they decelerate the stabilize the limb so strains can happen when the amount of eccentric force the adductors are attemping use to decelerate the leg) ADDUCTOR LONGUS INJURIED MOST COMMONLY aka adductor weakness can cause this bc cant widthstand the stress that is put on it delayed abdominal recruitment is also a risk factor
chronic ankle instability MOI
repetitive bouts of inversion or PF/INV sprains NM control, prop, strength, balance, joint lax, joint restrictions*, synovial changes

PCL general rehab goals
progressive weight bearing prevention of posterior tibial subluxation strengthening of the quadriceps muscles
PCL fxn and MOI
resists extreme knee flexion posterior translation of tibia (posterior roll, posterior slide) anterior translation of femur (posterior roll, anterior slide) resists extreme varus, valgus, and axial rotation MOI: falling on fully flexed knee (tibia hits the ground) dashboard injury (posterior force of tibia on femur) large axial rotation or valgus-varus force with foot planted and knee flexed seere hyperextension of knee (gapping of posterior joint)
why is first ray important
rigid level during WB forward propulsion and stability
ankle OA tx
rocker bottom shoe, AFO 6-weeks of isometric, resistive, closed kinetic chain and proprioceptive therex or hyaluronic acid injection improvements at 12 months
LCL what does it attach to
round and strong from epicondyle to fibula DOES NOT ATTACH TO THE LATERAL MENICUS
tissue layers of abdominal wall from outside to inside
skin fascia external oblique and fascia internal oblique and fascia transversus abdominus muscle and fascia transversalis fascia with the peritoneum conjoint tendon = fascia of internal oblique and TA inguinal canal houses spermatic cord in males and round ligament in females *pubic apineurosis = confluence of fibers from rectus, conjoint tendon, and external oblique continuous with origin of adductor and gracilis muscles*****
what happens to the patella during knee flexion and extension
sliding motion between posterior surface and intercondylar groove used to increase the internal moment arm of the quads at the knee EXTENDS *
AVN clinical presentation
slient hip in early stages sudden, severe onset latera pain in deep groin can radiate to butt thigh knee and lower leg vague, mechanical, throbbing I/M PAIN WITH WB!!! rom limitations (flex, IR, abduction) painful log rolling test!!!
risk factors of FAI
slipped femoral epiphysis legg calve perthes congen hip dys femoral neck fractures previous hip sx
tx of PS
soft tissue mob weak hip abductors (causes excessive eccentric loading of the piriformis) strengthen hip ER, extensor, and abductors reduced adductor/IR moment
HAS
squeeze test SPIN pain out of proportion to injury SPIN DR/ER test SNOUT syndesmosis tenderness SNOUT
how does intercondylar groove stabilize the patella
steeper slope of lateral facet keeps in groove
tibial stress fracture MOI
sudden build up of training gradual onset of sharp, localized pain commonly at distal third of tibia Accelerated bone remodeling in response to repetitive submaximal stresses Fatigue fracture vs insufficiency: abnormal repetitive load upon normal bone
chronic exertional compartment syndrome MOI
sudden build up of training in younger pop fullness, cramping with or without paraesthesias and weakness in the peripheral nerve distribution With exertion, intracompartmental volume increases in conjunction with increased pressure Critical level leads to compromised vascular profusion leading to tissue ischemia, metabolic accumulation and pain Anterior and deep posterior compartments most common
tibiofibular joint
superior - plane synonvial joint, articulates with posterolateral aspect of tibial condyle inferior - synarthrosis (fixed) , refinforced by posterior tibfib ligaments
what types of tears are the most common
superior, anterior tears
who does hip dislocations happen to
young population (16-40 years old) common in males
labrum
surrounds acetabular rim medially blends with capsule laterally
PT progrnosis FAI
symptom reduction for up to 2 years 5 years for surgery
subtalar joint (STJ)
synovial joint calcaneus and talus 3 facets: Anterior - Convex Talus Middle - Convex Talus Posterior - Concave Talus SHIP IN THE WAVE pronation of heel is coutnerbalanced by supination of the transverse tarsal joint supination of the heel is counterbalanced by pronation of the transverse tarsal joint
CAI special tests
talar tilt SPIN anterior drawer
medial column
talus, navicular and rays 1-3
plantar fasc special tests
tarsal tunnel negative windlass positive longtidudinal arch angle
screw home mechanism
terminal knee extension requires 10 degrees of ER coupling of ER and knee extension to maximize contact area of the knee = stability dependent on: shape of medial femoral condyle passive tension of ACL lateral pull of quads OKC: tibia rotates ER on femor CKC: femur rotates IR on tibia to unlock: ER of femur or IR of tibia driven by popliteus
mortons neuroma special tests
thumb index finger squeeze SPIN/SNOUT mulders click SPIN
adductor strain clincial presenation
usually acute can become chronic superficial aching medial thigh groin swelling pain with adduction
positive special tests MCL
valgus stress test (at 30 deg knee flexion - islolated MCL injury In extension - likely concurrent ACL injury Soft end feel - likely Gr III tear)***** Sensitivity: 86% (Harilainen 1987)
extensor lag
weak quads cant get fulll extension actively but have full PASSIVE swelling/effusion can increase liklihood of extensor lag may be due to reflexibely inhibiting the neural activaton of the quads or inflamm-induced flexor withdrawal
menisci
wedge/crescent shaped semicir firbocart dics covers 2/3 of tibial plataeu anchored by anterior and posterior horns fibrillar componenets: collagen and elastin transform articular suface to shallow groove for larger convex femoral condyesl
sesamoid fx
weight distribution through the first ray like the patella mechanical advantage for FHB (pulley) stability of the first ray main WB force when elevated onto toes *****
can we prevent sprains?
weight loss external bracing neuromuscular retraining, balance mechanical support or proprioceptive feedback (not sure how it helps but is one of those)
hip dislocation simple vs complex
without fracture (simple) with fracture of femoral head, neck, or acetabulum
who does GTPS affect
women higher in post menopause common in those 40-60 higher incidence in those with lower back pain, knee pain, and obesity
manual therapy for total hip arthro revision? WHY
yes Not just peripheral changes Spinal and supraspinal pathways involved in patient responses to MT
can leg pain come from the back even when there are no back symptoms?
yes in chronic cases you may see more leg pain and not so much from the back
does the tibia have condyles?
yes but is also called the tibial plateu this "intercondylar region" allows for cruciate ligaments and menisci to attach
who do you see atraumatic hip instability with
young females in athletics gynmasts
