Intervertebral Disc pathology
-Common expression used "Slipped disk", the disk does not slip from within confines of the vertebral bodies. -2 Terms applied interchangibalyy 1) disk bulge 2) Herniated Nucleus Pulposus. ---Disk Bulge: the nucleus puposus is within the annulus. ---Disc protrusion: 1)Type I: peripheral annular bulge 2)Type II: localized annular bulge ---Herniated Nucleus Pulposus (HNP) classification 1) Disc protrusion: bulges agains intact nucleus 2) Extruded disc: extending through the annulus but contained within the PLL. 3) Sequestrated disc: free within the spinal canal. -Age related degenerative changes: 1) decreased hydration, bochemical change in glycoaminoglycans of the nuceleus, 3) increases in collagen --Patient examination: Peripheralization or centralization of symptoms 1)peripheralizatoin: symptoms are felt further down the leg 2) Centralization: (McKenzie): phenomenom whereby, result of certain repetitive movements or the adoption of certain positions, radiating pain that originating from the spine and refereed distally. IS MADE TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE PERIPHERY AND TOWARD THE MID_LINE OF THE SPINE. 1)==Spondylolysis: bone defect (stress fx, fracture) in the pars interarticularis of the posterior element of the spine. 2)==Spondylolisthesis: slippage or migration of the vertebrae over an inferior vertebra as a result of bilateral defect in the pars interarticularis. (5 classes pg 327) --Grades of spondylolisthesis/rehab: >grade I 0-25: may not experience significant symptoms. >grade II 25-50, >grade III 50-75, >grade IV 75-100%. --Symptoms Spondylolisthesis report pain with extremes of lumbar motion, especially extension (pain usually follows belt line.) Rehabilitation SPONDYLOLISTEHESIS: grade I-II: avoid ballistic lumbar extension as well as vertical loading while seated or standing to minimize anterior sheering forces on the spine. in addition, abdominal strengthening exercises, neutral spinal stabilizatoin exercises (controlled lumbar extension strengthening, isometrics, and rectus/oblique strengthening while in the neutral spine position and strengthening exercises for the trunk and LE are encouraged. PAIN and MM SPASM are addressed by DR: mm relaxers, NASID and PT by agents (heat, ice, US and E-stim) to alleviate acute pain and swelling. HALLMARK: application of abdominal and paravertebral mm strengthening exercises to provide dynamic support of spine during activity and AVOIDENCE of extreme lumbar Extension. SURGERY: is usually for grade III, IV which compress the root and cause neurological signs. Rehabilitation: immobilizaton until solid bone union is radiologically confirmed, lumbosacral orthosis to not permit lumbar extension during immobilizatoin, perform rudimentary ROM and strengthenitng for UE/LE (ankle pump, quadriceps sets, and knee ROM), once bone healing confirmed gradual program of abdominal strengthening (from isometrics to concentric and eccentric abdominal contractions), lumbar ROM , general conditioning, and progressive return to function is advocated. 3) LUMBAR SPONDYLOSIS:(Osteoarthritis of the spine/DJD) Is the narrowing of the spinal canal which constricts and compresses spinal roots.

MOD: (starts at 2wk): same goals 1) restore ROM, 2) progress strength to the affected limb, 3) continue protection of involved tisue 4) continue use of antiinflammatory modalities as needed. CKC should be progressed as mentioned earlier from bilateral to unilateral and from sagital to frontal to transverse plane in nature. if patient achieves full ROM w/o increased level of pain or struggly w/FWB reevaluation by PT is advised. If gait mechanics exist and strength and ROM allow, a running progress may be started as early as 6 weeks from injry. PLYOMETRIcS strengthening may start at the same time and progress to different planes discussed previously. General return to sport will happen 8-12 wk from injury. FUNCTIONAL BRACE may be suggested to protect injured MCL when returning to sport is prermitted.

CKC strengthening begins 2-4 wks as swelling, pain & ROM improves.
Clinical application of rehabilitation techniques during
-Immobilization period: non immobilized structers should be exercised through the period (ex: LE straightening and endurance ;staionary cycle, treadmill and leg extension for UE fx) -Isometric mm contraction for injured area are designed to minimize mm atrophy. - cast brace serve as weight in the beginning (AROM) but ankle weights can be used later in the rehab (should be applied superiorly in the beginning) - Electrical muscle stimulation: holes made in the cast to place electrodes. but controversial. -CPM GOALS: improve overall fitness, promote motion on unmobilized joints, minimize mm atrophy, maintain/improve strength, protect healing structure, teach safe and effective transfers and gait activities. After immobilzation - progressive exercises must be directed cautiously 1-Thermal agents to promote various thermal agents. 2-Strengthening: systematically progress through isometrics, concentric and eccentric resistance, isokinetics, and CKC resistance exercises 3-Balance, Coordination and Proprioceptive exercises: included during the post immobilization. 4:Cardiopulmonary: Stationary Cycle ergometer, UBE's, stair climbers, and treadmills used to enhance fitness during and after immobilization.

Fracture Fixation
-Internal: anatomic fixation of bone results in primary repair or direct cortical reconstruction -Bone Plate: stripping the periosteum where screws and plates are to be fixed. (devascularizes periosteum blood supply) -Intermedullary Rod:medullary canal must be reamed to allow for proper anatomical placement of rod. (LE diaphsyseal fx: femur, tibia removed 1-2 years) -Tension Wire: platella fx. and olecranon fx. -External: cast, traction, splints, and braces. Risk of infection or further fracture: pins used to immobilize the fx but used to hold in rigid alignment (fiberglass casts, plaster casts, hinged-plaster casts, and adjustable range hinge. (Less Rigid: periosteal bridging callus, More rigid: Primary cortical healing.)
Radiculopathy
-Mechanical compression or inflammation of a nerve root that causes neurological symptoms in LE. -Symptoms: pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, burning, or paresthesisas (is a sensation of tingling, tickling, pricking, or burning of a person's skin) frequently called sciatica or a pinched nerve. However TRUE Radiculopathy often involves more than pain/paresthesias often involves change in reflexes, strength loss in a myotomal distribution, and sensory loss in a dermatomal distribution. Test: 1) Straight leg raise test: pt supine, leg passively raised w/ knee completely extended.
Fibrocartilage: type I collagen
-Menisci: c shaped fibrocartilage tissue, dissipates extreme compression, shock absorber, limites knee hyperextension and function in joint lubrication/nutrition. -Glenoid labrum of shoulder & Acetabular labrum of hip: increased congruency and as an anchor point for other structure.
Ficrocartilage injuries
-Menisci: injury occurs through trauma or degeneration -Tear: in <40 young adults through combination of compression, torque, acceleration or decelleration. (running, jumping, twisting, and dynamic change in direction activities) -Degeneration: 40> older adults. no sudden trauma injury complication of pain and dysfunction. -Glenoid labrum of shoulder: direct trauma or repetitive stress. Detachment of Anterior-inferior labrum (bankart lesion) by anterior shoulder dislocation. 'Long head biceps tendon (LHBT) attach to superior labrum, anterior to posterior tear (SLAP) lesions from repetitive stress from biceps tendon from repetitive throw. -Acetabular labrum of hip:repetitive bony contact seen in femoractabular impingement (FAI). labrum can become torn or detached over time as femur repetedly makes contact during deep hip flexion or internal rotation.
Mobilization Vs Manipulation
-Mobilization: Pain (gate theory) and increase ROM (less pain), applied in motion light enough that patient can stop the motion. -Manipulation: Passive: increase joint ROM, sudden forceful thrust beyond patient control. Joint to endrange/high velocity/quick thrust audible pop. -Traction: pulling joint away from ones articular surface.
Pain Nociceptive Pain Neuropathic pain
-Nociceptive Pain: pain from actual tissue damage. (may be inflammatory or noninflammatory) -inflammatory pain: pain from inflammation (corticosteroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors. -Neuropathic pain: Pain from damage or disfunction of nerves. (nerve compression, fibromyalgias, diabetic neuropathy, postherpetic nuralgia, spinal cord injury, and phantom pain.) -TREATING: by drugs that sow or block nerve conduction. (ex: anti-depresents, Anticonvulsant, Topical products (ex: lidocaine patch, capsaicin cream) and opiod analgesic (ultra). Acute: following injury and disappears after healing. Chronic: remains after normal time expected for healing which is presumed to be 3 months.
End feel
-Normal (3): 1)Bone to Bone end-feel: sudden, hard, nonyielding sensation felt at the end of ROM. 2)Soft-tissue approximation: "yielding compression" typically encountered with knee or elbow flexion. 3)Hard or springy-tissue stretch: characteristic feature is "elastic resistance" or "rising tension" -Abnormal (6): 1)Muscle Spasm: pain accompanied by a sudden halt of movement. 2) Internal Derangement (springy block): full motion is limited by a soft or springy sensation occasionally accompanied by pain 3) Empty end feel: limited by significant pain without mm spasm 4)Loose end-feel: joint hyper-mobility, w/ no resistance felt at the end ROM(significant joint looseness) 5)Capsular end-feel: related to capsular resistance, normal tissue stretch but elastic resistance before the normal ROM. 6)Boggy: soft, mushy; joint effusion
Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome MTSS: ( Shin Splints should be disregarded) Medical EMERGENCY to cut fascia to relieve pressure and left open to heal
-Overuse injury of the lower leg involving the distal third of the posterior medial border of the tiba have historically been referred to as shin splints. Mechanism of Injury: micro-tears of periosteum, overuse commonly happen after changes in training - increasing running speed/distance -running on, hard/angled surfaces, overuse can also occur from running in flimsy footwear from soles that wear out --Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome: severity of pain with activity Pg. 250 -Grade I: pain experienced AFTER activities (muscle soreness/inflammation) *Treatment: CP, NSAIDs, rest, gradual stretching/strengthening -Grade II: pain DURING and AFTER activities but DOES NOT LIMIT ABILITY TO PERFORM (mild-mod inflammation) *Treatment: CP, NSAIDs, rest, gradual stretching/strengthening -Grade III: pain BEFORE, DURING, AFTER activity and limits activity (significant inflammation and bone microfractures) *Treatment: stretch gastroc, soleus -Grade IV: pain SIGNIFICANT and CANNOT PERFORM ACTIVITY *Treatment: deviations in the foot that may require orthotics, change footwear as suggested.
Ligament Phase of Healing 4 Phases
-Phase I: (immediate to 2 days) Hemostasis/Degeneration: Tissue retracts and hematoma forms between the damaged end of tissue PHASE I & 2 Take 2 days -Phase II: Inflammation: 3-14 days (extremely potent chemical mediators of vasodialation released/cell wall permiability and pain inresponse to fibrin clot formation (Prostaglandins, histamine, bradykinins, & serotonin are sendt to trauma site to increase capillary permeability and profusion dilation of blood vessel). Causing the migration of polymorphonuclear cells and lymphocytes to initiate ingestion (phagocytosis) of bacteria and dead tissue (main cells: neutrophils, lymphocytes (monocytes =>macrophages => as they become phagocyts) -Phase III: Proliferation/migration: (14-60 days/Several Weeks): fibroblast rapidly synthesize new extracellular matrix (with high concentration of water, GAGs, and relatively weak/fragile immature type III collagen.). over Several WEEKS the the concentraction of Type 3 collagen decrease and Type I collagen are laid down and align to appropriately applied stress. -Phase IV: Remodeling/degeneration: (60-360 daysLastal YEAR OR MORE). the hallmark of phase IV is collagen organization and increase in tensile strength of repair tissue. (UP TO A YEAR THE TENSILE STRENGTH MAY ONLY REACH 50-70% of original) (knee and ankle highest in tendon sprain, MCL 25-40%. *** High dense fibrous tissue (tendon/ligament) Frequent, intensity & duration exercises. Tissue subjected to repeated COMPRESSION respond by synthesizing larger and greater amount of proteoglycans than those tissue exposed to tension loads.
Terms joint mobilization
-Physiological Movement: voluntary movement(concentric/eccentric, flex/ext, etc.) -Accessory movement: within joint/surrounding tissue (ligament, joint capsule) -Component motion: accompanies motion/not voluntary. -Joint Play: motion occurs within joint (determined by joint laxity. -Thrust: high velocity, short amplitude motion (snap adhesions, stimulate joint.

Cocyooxygenase-2 inhibitor (Prescription only)
-Side effect: less Gi distress than NSIDS -COX2: causes pain and inflammation. (ex: celecoxib (Celebrex) -COX2 inhibitor: same as NSAIDs but reduced side effects. inhibits the production of prostaglandins but does not inhibit Cox-1 (allowing fewer bleeding/stomach related side effects). age 65 or over w/bleeding disorders
Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs

Tendon injury classification (pg 161 11-3) • Tendinitis • Tendinosis • Peritenonitis: • Tenosynovitis: • Tenovaginitis:
-Tendonitis: Acute injury to the tendon with associated inflammatory response -Tendinosis: not associated with inflammatory (CHRONIC) -Peritenonitis: inflammation of the peritenon only -Tenosynovitis: inflammation of tendon synovial membrane. -Tenovaginitis: inflamed, thickened tendon sheath.
Tendon pathologies Tendonitis Tendinopathy Tendinosis
-Tendonitis: acute, injury of tendon associated with inflammatory response. Patient presents with inflammation (pain, warmth, swelling, redness) often describes performing an unfamiliar, repetitive activity from 1 day to a week before seeking medical attention. -Tendinopathy: Pt. presents tendon injury with lack of inflammatory response. ( common locations: achiles tendon, quadriceps tendon, and supraspinatus tendon) -Tendinosis: chronic tendon injury at a cellular level.
Meniscus Injuries:
-ZoneI: elect non surgical, ZoneII: may heal b/c of partial vascular zone, Zone III: nonvascular does not heal requires surgery. -TEST: 1) Apley compression & distraction test (determine if injury is ligamentous or maniscal): 2) McMurray test (used to reproduce symptoms of torn maniscus): 3) Bounce home test (determine if torn maniscus is preventing knee extension): 4) The Thessaly test (MOST ACCURATE clinical test to determine maniscus tear) -Surgery criteria: symptoms affect ADL's/work/sport, positive clinical examination finding, not responding to nonsurgical approach, & absent of other causes of pain identified in clinical examination. SURGERY TYPES: 1) Subtotal or partial meniscectomy ( recommended when repair is not feasible) REHABILITATION: reducing inflammation, normalize patella mobility & progressing full ROM as soon as possible. PWB from 1-14 days, progressive stretching & early strengthening exercises about 2 weeks after surgery, progress to mutiplane OKC &CKC strengthening and stationary bicycle. Athletes low level plyometrics and running start aprox. 6-8wk post surgery, return to competition 2-4 months. 2)Meniscal Repair: greater potential for repair when 1)repair involves lateral meniscus, 2) injuries are acute, 3) repair are performed with ACL reconstruction. REHABILITATION: isolated meniscus, MAX: (0-6wk) protective WB use brace locked into extension & restricted ROM to 90 flex. Delayed FWB status until 4-6wk avoid vertical compression forces into the repaired tissue. EXERCISE include patellar mobility, knee rom limited to 90 flex., quad setting, SLR, & gait training. MOD: (4-6wk) begin when allowed FWB status, (B) CKC strength, to SL as tolerated, & stationary bicycling progress to WB cardio elliptical & stair climbing. CKC should be progressed with caution (progressing CKC within a pool reduces compression through the knee due to boyancy of the patient. MIN: depends on prior level and goals. Patient should demonstrate Full ROM, normal gait mechanics, gairly good strength compared to uninvolved LE. light plymetrics (jump rope introduce impact before progressing to higher level plyometrics). 3)Meniscal transplantation (meniscal allograft): when surgical indicated are adhered provides excellent results in pain & improved function. Rehabilitation: conservative approach is recommended, NWB post op with limited ROM of 0-90 flexion. postoperative will vary but closely resemble MENISCAL REPAIR. most surgeries will provide program that allows running 4-6wk, and full activities at 6-9 months.
Compartment Syndrome
-defined as either acute or chronic elevated tissue pressure within closed facial space, resulting in occlusion of vessels and compromised neuromuscular function. -ACUTE (CONSIDERED MEDICAL EMERGENCY): most commonly associated with tibial fx, direct trauma to the area, mm rupture, mm hypertrophy, and circumferential burns. -Symptoms Acute clinical: pain, palpable swelling or tensensess, and paresthesias. skin warm shinny and tense, passive stretch of lower leg mm may produce pain. -CHRONIC (AKA: exertional cmpartment syndrome or exercise-induced compartment syndrome), mm contactions and exertion have been shown to increase in mm size leading to increase intracompartmental pressure resulting in ischemia and reduced neuromuscular function. -Symptoms Chronic: dull aching pain within mm during and after long-term exercise. paresthesias also may develop as syndrome progress. Exercise inducing Compartmental syndrome are (anterior and deep posterior compartments) -Anatomy: 4 compartments divided by nonyielding fascia: 1) Anterior compartment:(tibialis anterior, ANTERIO TIBIAL artery & vein and foot/toe extensor mm) 2) Lateral compartment: ( SUPERFICIAL PERONEAL nerve & short/long peroneal mm) 3) Superficial Posterior compartment: (soleus mm, and plantaris/gastrocnemius tendons). 4) Deep posterior compartment:( posterior tibialis mm, proneal artery/vein, TIBIAL nerve, POSTERIOR TIBIAL artery & vein.) -INTERVENTIONS: ACUTE: treated with surgical procedure called: fasciotomy. when nerve and mm ischemia last longer than 12 hrs, severe, and irreversble damage occurs. if ischemia can be reduced in less than 4 hours usually no permanent damage occurs. *fasciotomy is designed to relieve intracompartmental pressr by opening/ releasing fascial compatment. ice and elevation is used immediately after surgery to reduce swelling. walking as tolerated & active/passive gentle ROM of ankle/knee are begun 2 days after surgery. PT: early ROM is crucial inorder to prevent contractures, ice and elevation continued post exercise. General conditioning can begin single-leg ergometer or UBE. once pt shows improved motion/reduced pain/swelling light resistance exercise bein for involved leg. light resistance should be encouraged because heavy resistance leads to hypertrophy is CONTRAINDICATED after fasciotomy for acute compartment syndrome. -INTERVENTIONS: CHROMIC: are similar to acute however chronic do not always represent a surgical emergency. conservative management should include relative rest, Anti-inflammatory drugs, stretching and strengthening of the involved mm, and foot orthotic device (if appropriate) subcutaneous fasciotomy used when symptoms affect function.
Achilles Tendinopathy
-overuse injury resulting from repetitive microtrauma and accumulative over loading of the tendon. -primary localized pain at the midportion, distal third and insertion of the calcaneus.( should be distinguished from retrocalcaneal bursitis and haglund disease). -Rehabilitation: most cases managed conservatively w/ physical agents, oral medications, relative rest, and progressive exercises. initial use ice massage or ice packs for 15-20 min 3-5x daily. DR: NSAID to help reduce swelling and pian. All aggresive motion MUST be stopped (ex; athlete who runs must stop running temporarily until symptoms subside). program of aerobic exercise using stationary bicycle or swimming program can take the place or running program. sometimes a small felt heel lift can be placed in everyday shoes to help reduce stress (can be removed as sx subside, should reduce gradually to avoid returning of sx). Ultrasound can reduce pain and assist w/ collagen syntheis (generally can be used immediatel befor exercise). Flexibility therex used to increase DF motion and Reduce effects of scarring in prolonged cases of achilles tendinopathy. initially actie DF and towel strecthes are grenerally added as pain allows. ice massage/packs before stretching/strengthening. standin heel cord strecthes as soon as twel stretches do not cause pain or swelling. AVOID: balstic motions. hold stretch for 10-30 sec. standing heel cord stretch performed small block to produce DF motion. Soleus stretch on wall preferred. strengthening exercises often prove very beneficial for patient. Safe and effective program focuses on Limited ROM & submaximal exercises. ECCENTRIC STRENGTHENING exercises when strengthening soleus-gastroc mm group, standin heel raises are preferred form of exercise that produce excellent clinical outcomes following 12wk program for achilles tendinopathy. Pt. have been reported to return to running 12 wk. daily ecc. training is a safe activity w/o any evidence of adverse effects. SEVERE cases may be rigid casted for 10 days. IN GENERAL : general body fitness program. Aerobic fitness can be achieved w/ UBE, seated bicycle ergometer w/ seat height corrected to avoid PF or a swimming program. Upper/ lower body strenth & stretching exercise encouraged as long as tedon suffers no undue stress or pain.
Adhesive Capsulitis (Frozen Shoulder)
-results in loss of ROM due to soft tissue contractures. 40-60 female, pt. w/ diabetes have increased incidence of Adhesive Capsulitis. show posterior Capsular pattern: loss of ER ROM greater than, ABD, IR, Flexion. -Characterized by decreased shoulder ROM, Pain, inflammation, fibrous synovial adhesion, and reduction of the joint cavity. -PRIMARY Idiopathic frozen shoulder: Spontaneous onset w/o cause. -Secondary ahesive capsulitis: generally occurs after trauma or immobilization. •Signs & Symptoms: localized pain often extends down the arm, stiffness, night pain, restricted ROM. initially pain occurs both during rest and during activity. As condition progresses pain subsides and disappears spontaneously -Rehabilitation: ACUTE: Focusses on controlling pain and inflammation/ judicious ice, heat, US, phonophoresis and infrared. The stimulation of pain free motion and relaxation of mm guarding of GH joint, cervical area, and scapulothoracic mm, passive, active, and active assisted motion must occur within pain free ROM to stimulate removal of metabolic waste, increase blood flow, and assist in reduction of edema in local tissues. Both wand/rope/pulley systems can be used early to perform slow and controlled, pain-free ROM. For severely restricted GH joint specific joint mobilization techniques may be utilized to modulate pain and reduce mm guarding. The scapula must be free from restrictions while shoulder attempts to regain shoulder motion and function to normalize scapulohumeral rhythm. Before normalizing motion specific strengthening activities should be accomplished to avoid developing faulty shoulder mechanics. -When Pt. demonstrates improved GH motion, and appropriate scapulohumeral rhythm: strengthening exercises can begin for the deltoid, scapular mm, rotator cuff, and upper arm mm. Strengthening submax to maximal isometrics before theraband or dumbell for concentric & eccentric a comprehensive series of RC exercises and scapular stabilization exercises can be encouraged as early as pain and motion allows. Normalized function can be achieved by having Pt. perform CKC exercise with proprioception (balance board, slide boards, and plyoball) in a sequential, orderly fashion once sufficient strength improved motion and scapulohumeral rhythm activities focus on purposeful functional movements that duplicate ADLs. KEY: pain control, restoration of motion, and improved function must be reinforced continually to encourage compliance w/HEP and the avoidance of positions that may exacerbate pain and mm guarding.
HIP SPECIAL TEST:
1) Patrick or Faber Test (SI joint dysfunction/ hip pathology), (figure 4) ---This test is indicative of illipsoas, ascroliac, or hip abnormalities. ---positive if there is noted pain in the back or the tested limb or if the tested limb remains in a plane above the opposite limb. This may indicate tightness of the hip flexors, adductors or joint capsule of the hip. 2)Thomas Test (+RECTUS FEMORIS, ITB, TFL, Sartorius tightness) --(tight 2 joint)Rectus Femori: <80 degree knee flex/ pos thigh touches table. -- (tight 1 joint) iliopsoas: pos thigh no touching table. -Sartorius: 3 combination of (hip abd, flex, er & knee flex) 3)Ely's Test (Knee) (RECTUS FEMORIS TIGHTNESS, Pt. flexes hip when PTA flexes knee) --Patient prone, passively flex knee -- + hip flexion occurs simultaneously with knee flex and may be indicative of a RECTUS FEMORIS TIGHTNESS. 4)Piriformis Test (OBERS Test) ( PAIN/Tightness PIRIFOMIS TIGHTNESS/ SCIATIC NERVE COMPRESSION tingling) --Patient sidelying with test leg positioned towards the ceiling and hip flexed 60 degree.

The therapist applies downward (adduction) force on the knee. -- + = pain and tightness, and may be indicative of PIRIFORMIS or compression on the sciatic nerve caused tingling. 5)Tripod sign (Hamstring tightness test) -- Pt. sitting with the knees flexed to 90 degree over edge of table, holding front of the table and sitting erect (allow hip to anterior pelvic tilt). Therapist passively extends one knee. -- + = hamsting tightness. 6) 90-90 SLR Test ( hamstring tightness knee flex greater 20 degrees) -- patient lying supine with the hip and knees flexed to 90degress. Therapist instructs patient to alternately extend each knee as much as possible while maintaining the hip in 90 flexion -- + knee remains 20 degrees or more flexed. 7) • Craigs Test (Antiversion extraversion (toed-in IR, toed-out ER) - Prone with the knee flexed to 90 degrees. Therapist palpates Greater trochanter, and then measure angle - + the angle measured in outside the normal range of 8-15 degrees, Less than 8 exclusively less, More then 15 8) Hip scouting Test oLABRUM TEARS/pinched labrum: (PAIN or reproduction of symptoms at the hip indicative of defect in the articular cartilage of the femur or acetabulum) - Patient supine. Therapist pulls flexed the patients hip & knee. Therapist applies downward pressure along the femoral shaft while repeatedly externally & internally rotating the hip with multiple angles of flexion. o+ = 9)Trendelenburg Sign(hip abductor weakness glut med) ---Stand for 10 seconds and if the opposite hip drops then its positive trendelemburg. --- + perform STANDING abduction exerises (theraband: eccentric/concentric control).
Chronic ligament instabilities
10-30% of patient have chronic symptoms of weakness, swelling, pain, and joint instability after inversion sprain. 2 types of instabilities associated with chronic ankle sprain: MECHANICAL & FUNCTIONAL. 1)Mechanical instabilities: (laxity of ankle ligaments w/ mechanical instability surgery may be necessary to stabilize the ankle joint. -Rehabilitation: commonly rehabilitation involves some form of ankle immobilization for aproximately 2-6 w/k depending on surgery. Passive DF, PF after immobilization. general full body fitness and proximal leg strengthening and proprioception exercise is vital throughout rehab. -Primary delayed repair or Anterior reconstruction: have longer immobilization time (ligament is surgically shortened and reinserted (imbricated). the progression of rehab is same as w/ tenodesis. active/pasive ROM, control of swelling and pain, isometcic and manual resistive exercises (AVOID PF and INV.) theraband and isotonic exercise and isometric are used. Generally proprioceptive exercises are used extensively. SLS exercises, balance board activities, mintrampoline exercise and heel walking exercise are part of the moderate to minimum protection phase. IN ALL CASES JOINT PROTECTION (tape, brace, or hinged orthosis is rudimentary but critical princpal throughout rehab. 2) Functional Instability: subjective feeling of giving way w/o affective ligament laxity. Can involve host of factors including strength, proprioception, and ligament stability. Bracing is important. -Rehabilitation: CKC resistance exercises, proprioception meneuvers, dynamic muscular exercises (con/ecc loads) and bracing for support. SL support proprioception exercises w/ external resistance provide dynamic support and balance training. balance board activities, hel-toe walking, and minitrampoline exercises for ankle through all phases for functional ankle instability.

Muscle & Tendon Healing process/ tissue healing time
ACUTE: can last up to 6 day if continually stressed --Immediate- 48hrs: Rupture of blood and lymphatic vessels , coagulation (clot formation), vasodilation, immediate swelling (cellular exudate fill the site). Hallmark signs of inflammation experianced (redness (rubor), swelling (tumor), heat or warmth (calor) and pain (dolor). chemical mediators attracted to control inflammatory process. -Day 2-4: decrease in inflammation decrease in clot size (resorption), -(SUBACUTE: early as 3 days to 3weeks): increase in granulation tissue, repair process initiated, angiogenesis (developing new blood supply) -Day 4-21: initiation of fibroplasia (scar formation) fibroblastic activity, growth of scar ceases at the end of the phase. CHRONIC: fiber aligned along the line of stress can occur for 12-18 months after original injury. -day 21-60: Remodeling of scar, collagen thickens and strengthens.
Ankle Fractures & stress Fracture pg 247-250
Ankle Fractures: treated based on MD direction for bone healing. Classifications: know it but be familiar and rehab approach -MAX Protection Phase: restricted WB (TTWB), pain/edema management. ROM may be allowed if motion does not stress the fracture site (DO NOT INVERT/EVERT), keep at sagittal plane, MRE's, toe pickups, towel crunches -MOD Protection Phase: progression is at the direction of MD, seated DF with heel on floor (limits eccentric control of coming down), thera-bands, seated weight shifting, seated proprioception (balance boards) -MIN Protection Phase: return to function (CKC), balance, sagittal planes, frontal, then transverse -STRESS FRACTURE: Mechanism of Injury: result of increasing amount/intensity of activity too rapidly, normal usage if bones have been weakened by osteoporosis or other disease, occur WB bones of the foot and lower leg, most commons sites are second and third metatarsals of foot then heel (calcaneus), fibula, navicular if in "no man's land" (no vascularity) or base of 5th metatarsal there is a higher risk for delayed union/non thus immobilization for 6-8 weeks Not at Risk: not on no man's land rest, modalities for pain and swelling, LE strength and stretching avoid aerobic activities that cause impact on foot (stepper, treadmill) until healed PRECAUTION/CONTRAINDICATION
Edema Vs Effusion
Both are swelling --Edema: Extravascular swelling (outside of joint) --Effusion: Intravascular swelling (inside of joint)
SOFT TISSUE INJURIES OF THE HIP
Bursitis: 1)TROCHANTERIC Bursitis: --CAUSE: excessive compression & repeated friction from IT band. --Therapy: initially relieve pain and inflammation (RICE/Antiinflammitory med). STRETCH: soft tissue of lateral thigh (TFL, Illiotibial band)/ also flexibility of (hip ER, quads, flexors) is important. STRENGTHENING: hip abductor is important to establish mm balance (partial squats, leg press, & hip abd). Endurance: UBE, treadmill, or stair climbing if not painful. US & Hydrotherapy also may help acute phase. 2)Ischial Bursitis (Wavers botom): contusion (bruise damaged blood vessels)/ extended period of sitting. pain over Ischial tuberosity. --Therapy: padded cushion, stretch hams and mm) 3) Illiopectineal Bursitis: tightness of the iliopsoas alone and in conjunction w/ excessive hip extension, passive hip flexion/add end range. --Therapy: thermal agents, stretching and strengthening (Stretching os Psoas mm stop if pain excerbates such activity), Strengthening: of quad, stretching: hamstring, ITB, hip add,and begin aerobic as long as symptoms do not increase)

Cave on vex: same direction Vex on cave: opposite direction
Lateral ankle sprain AKA: Inversion Sprain AVOID: PF/INV Anterior talofibular ligament, Fibulocalcaneal, and Posterior talofibular
Classification: Lateral Inversion Sprain: grade I:single ligament rupture (anterior talofibular ligament) ,II: double ligament rupture (anterior talofibular ligament & fibulocalcaneal ligament), & III all 3 ligaments ruptured (ATFL, Fibulocalcaneal, and Posterior talofibular) -95% of ankle sprains. and 14-25% of all sports injuries -Mechanism: PF/INV (Does not require large motions and most cases foot is unloaded) -TEST: 1)Anterior Drawer test: RELAXED! seated/semirecumbent, knee 90 flex, ankle slight PF. positive if excess forward or anterior motion if the ATFL is torn. 2) Talar Tilt Test (inversion stress test) calcaneofibular ligament: maximal ankle ligaments taken to inversion stress. RELAXED! seated/semirecumbent, knee 90 flex, ankle slight PF. Gradual stress by exertion of constant pressure over the lateral aspect of the foot and ankle, until maximal inversion is reached. Rehabilitation: I&II treated non operation and supervised rehabilitation program. ACUTE: RICE: to minimize intense inflammatory response, hemorrhage, swelling, pain and cellular metabolism. Most effective way to reduce swelling is to COMPRESS and ELEVATE (ex: ACE WRAP). MAX: (AVOID: PF/INV !!! cause disruption of healing process) RICE 3-5x daily, ice for 15-20min every 1-2hour interval. immobilization/ joint protection(by commercial appliances, tape, casting and braces DR discretion), most commonly plastic shell brace w/air bladder or a leather semirigid ankle support. WB/ ambulation W/AD are left at the Pt. tolerance usually WBAT. AROM should be cautiously applied. Isometric (DF & EVE 2-3 sets of 10 reps, 10 sec hold). Proximal leg strengthening (leg extension, ham curls, hip abd/add and hip ext) and general full-body conditioning throught out the rehabilitation course. MAX-MOD: bear weight on injured limb w/o crutches, perform all ROM and ISO w/0 complain of pain & control the swelling. MOD: RICE, FWB & ligament support( brace/ tape). Concentric/eccentric progressive exercises initiated (theraband/ankle weight), heel cord STRETCH (towel stretch, wall stretch or prostretch) and standing toe and heel raises. Gradually INV & PF added as pain allows. stationary bicycle W/SEAT lowered slightly to encourage more neutral ankl position instead of PF position. Proprioception initiated, limb protection must be encouraged, balance on injured limb on flat surface is slowly progressed to balance board, & then minitrampoline.

Glenohumeral joint instability and dislocation DISLOCATIONS: Anterior shoulder AVOID shoulder ABD & ER. Posterior shoulder AVOID (ABD & IR)
Dislocation/subluxation (partial dislocation) of the GH joint frequently occurs after direct trauma with arm abd, elevated and IR (posterior dislocation). Anterior dislocation greater than posterior. -Shoulder instability can be defined as multidirectional, wherein humeral head may sublux and dislocate anteriorly, inferiorly and posteriorly 1)Bankart lesion(Labrum injuries can occur if forces are great enough to dislocate the humerus from its confines within the glenoid cavity.): defined as an AVULSION of the scapule and glenoid labrum off the anterior rim from traumatic anterior dislocation. 2) Hill-Sachs lesion: (humerus is subjected to injury result of anterior shoulder instability): compression or impaction fracture of the posteriolateral aspect of the humeral head. NON OPERATIVE shoulder dislocation (anterior & posterior): protection 4-6w/k , all mechanism of dislocation are avoided and sometimes immobilization is needed for healing. Management of pain with NSAIDs, Analgesics, ice packs, electrical stimulation or other physical agents such as US, and infrared. IMMOBILIZATION: hand, wrist and elbow must receive active motion and strengthening exercises that do not compromise the shoulder and general conditioning program of strengthening, flexibiility and endurance activites. Anterior shoulder *subluxation: AVOID shoulder ABD& ER. -Pre-functional phase: begins w/ manual control ROM, active assistive strengthening for elevation and assisted ROM exercise to help Pt. regain motion if lengthy period of immobilization was warranted. initial strengthening begins w/submax isometric exercises that can be safely started when patients shoulder is place in neutral humeral position (1)Isometric shoulder ABD/ADD, (2)IR/ER, and (3) elevation and extension can be performed at a pain free level. once pt can demonstrate an increase from submaximal iso contractions to near-maximal contractions, progressive IR & ER can begin with affected shoulder in minimal degree of abduction. When pain are reduced and intensity and quality of mm contractions are improved, the patient may increase ROM activities in forward elevation, extension, scapular mobility and IR & ER and abductoin. -Return to function activities anterior (AVOID: combines Shoulder ABD & ER.) some authors state to avoid extremes of shoulder ABD, & ER should be avoided for 3 months. HALLMARK of return to function after anterior shoulder dislocation or subluxation is progressive strengthening of the rotator cuff, anterior shoulder mm, and scapular stabilizers w/ particular attention to eccentric strengthening of the posterior RC (infraspinatus and tere minor) -synchronous shoulder motion, or scapulohumeral rhythm must be addressed before and throughtout recovery from a shoulder dislcoation (2:1 ration: for every 2 degree of GH the scapula should upwardly rotate 1 degree. FROM CLASS: • Non-operative management: 6 weeks of immobilization, pain and edema management, AROM to hand writs and elbow and strengthening that does not compromise the shoulder. • Shoulder ABD and ER must be AVOIDED!!!, submax isometric with arm IR and Abducted with immobilization. • After immobilization: ROM ex as tolerated, Codmans ex( joint nutrition), active assistive strengthening, flex and cable pulley, once max isometric are pain free begin theraband PREs for IR & ER with elbo at the side (shoulder adducted), wand, pulley, good arm help the weak arm. As pain decreases and quality of mm contraction improves progress ROM activities to include flex, ext, scap mobility, IR, ER, abd. • Moderate: progressive strengthening with theraband and cuff weight of RC, scap stabilization, emphasis on eccentric strengthening of posterior RC mm (infraspinatus, and teres minor) UBE, CKC activities. • Avoid ER and abd with anterior dislocation in MAX/MOD. • Caution: avoid anterior translation of humeral head until minimal protection phase, some ex many. • Focus on proper scapulohumeral rhythm is essential to prevent abnormal scapular and humeral movement during strengthening. Abnormal movement can result in impingement. • Minimum (final stage): focus on functional motions, proprioception and dynamic joint

BONE ch 9 LAWS
Hueter-volkmann Law: compression and tensile forces applied to physeal growth plates. Compression forces limit bone growth, whereas tensile stress stimulates growth. Wolfs Law: intermittent physiologic loads applied to bone stimulate adaptive response, removal of mechanical stresses have opposite effect.
Bone Phases of fracture repair healing
I: Inflammation/ hematoma formation (0-24-48 hours): fibrin clot formation, increased inflammation to the a hematoma forms and begins the process of clot formation. Callus forms, which is early precursor to mature calcified bone formation. II: Chondrocyte Formation: chondrocytes form a V-shaped wedge of tissue between fracture ends of bones (Type I & II cartilage). III: Cartilage & calcification (starts 2 weeks): gradual decline in proliferative cell activity and in increase in chondrocyte deposition and release of proteolytic enzymes. lamellar bone is dependent to revitalization (vascularity) of injured bone to form into its natural state. (angiogenesis (neovasculariztion) is critical for delivering O2, nutrients, inflammatory cells, and fibrolblasts to stimulate and support the healing fracture) IV: Cartilage removal (starts 4-6 weeks): Primary cortical healing (hard callus) forms with anatomic alignment and fragment apposition, immobilization and appropriately applied progressive stress. V: Bone formation (): VI: Bone Remodeling ( several years to complete, strongly influenced by wolff's law): -0-24-48 hours inflammatory response to injury same as soft tissue. characterized by blood clotting, and fibroblast/osteoblast proliferation. -2 days after fracture: circulation increases and peaks at approximately 2 weeks. -2weeks scarring/callus formation are detected. -2-4 w/k: hinge brace to allow motion within limit. -several years to complete, strongly influenced by wolff's law
ligament Healing therapeutic consideration phases
Immediate-Phase I: Hemostasis/ Degeneration: Non WB/WBAT, RICE, pain management (TENS, oral IV analgesics), CPM, & contralateral exercises as tolerated. DAY 3-14 Phase II Inflammation: progressive WB, Continue RICE, Active progressive motion, continue ligament protection, Active resistance exercise. ( cycling for motion) isometric exercise progression, ESTIM, initiate multiangle static holds ( isometrics) avoid excessive motion. Day 14-60 Phase III Proliferation/migration:Full WB continue RICE, low load static stretch if needed, heat if needed, isokinetic w continuous ligament protection, eccentric isotonic exercise, progressive concentric isometric, (Hydrotherapy: swimming), progressive cycling, initiate closed kinetic exercise. Day 60-360 Phase IV Remodeling/degeneration: Prolonged low load static stretch, progressive advanced isokinetic and isotonic exercise, cycling (stair climbs), Proprioception and balance, coordination excise. Advance KC exercise, progress to plyometric exercise (jogging, running, jumping, maintain joint protection with functional bracing as needed.
Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
Indications: w severe four part fracture of the proximal humerus, AVN of humeral head, osteoporosis, rheumatoid Arthritis, and advanced osteoarthritis, the proximal humerus may be replaced w/ prosthesis or Total shoulder arthroplasty. immobilization may be as long as 4-6 wk Reverse total shoulder replacement: reverse total shoulder replacement is used for people who have completely torn rotator cuffs with severe arm weakness, the effects of severe arthritis and rotator cuff tearing (cuff tearing arthropathy), had a previous shoulder replacement that failed. • In reverse total shoulder replacement, the socket and metal ball are switched. That means a metal ball is attached to the shoulder bone and plastic socket is attached to the upper arm bone, • Revers TSA: can not do IR, no Horizontal adduction, can not lift more than a coffee cup, and longer recover time, NO Active IR until 3 months. • Traditional restricted by ER and Abd ( ER is avoided because of surgical approach) • Always place towel roll under to keep elbow at the mid axial line.

Knee Arthroplasty: eliminate/reduce pain & improve functional activities. osteoarthritis (DJD) or RA. 1)unicompartmental (medil/laterl), 2) bicompartmental (both laterl/medial), 3)tricompartmental (medial/lateral/patellofemoral compartment) pain and dysfunction. Rehabilitation: post op uses compression dressing w/ knee immobilizer in full extension, limb elevated 30-40 degree to minimize swelling and prevent knee flexion contracture. Max: reducing unwanted stress that my loosening prothesis, stimulate mm strength, increasing ROM, and reducing pain/swelling. Quad/glut/ham isometrics, ankle pumps, active assisted straight leg raise, short-arc terminal knee extension & knee flexion ROM exercises. CPM may help in regaining knee flexion however other authors suggest PT w/0 cpm result in same function/ROM post surgery. KNEE IMMOBILIZER CAN BE REMOVED to perform supine heel slides, and supine hip & knee flexion exercises, supine wall slides & active assisted wall slides can be added as pain allows. As surgical incision heals the patella should be mobilized in a caudal (inferior)-cephalic (Superior) motion to reduce patelofemoral adhesions. PWB gait with walker or cruthces within days after surgery. -PRIMARY GOAL: restore ROM -SECONDARY GOAL: restore strength (quad strength is highly correlated with functional performance. -Elderly: to demonstrate reduced cardio fitness and should start general cardio program as soon as tolerate, early single leg stationary cycling or UBE. Swimming programs may be more appropriate than Open or CKC resistance exercises. GREATEST amt. of function gained first 3 months but can expect improvements up to 1 year. page 289 table 18-1

NO COOK BOOK, therapy must be based on the individual patient and there needs. PT based on tissue injured, severity, current stage of healing, pt. musculoskeletal exam, the patients short and long term goals.
Osteoporosis
Osteoblast (boneformation) activity is surpassed by osteoclast (bone resorption) activity. Created weaker bones and increase rate of fracture. Causes:( multifactorial), hormonal changes after menopause, prolonged immobilization, diseases, and prolonged steroid administration. women greater. Age 40 y/o cortical bone loss. because of lowered estrogen loss of bone is 2-8% annually. Poor absorption of calcium leads to decreased mineralization called osteomalacia cause: calcium deficient diet, accelerates calcium loss and malabsorption of calcium (FEMORAL NECK FRACTURE MOST COMMON IN OSTEOMALACIA Pt.)
Stimulation of fx repair
PTA:CLINICAL - Electromagnetic field application and low-intensity ultrasound 30 mW/cm2) for 20 min/day has shown to reduce the fracture union time. (this process stimulates chondro/osteoblast. Increasing blood blow and enhancement of greater mechanical and histologic influence on enchondral and periosteal bone healing. OTHER BY DR/Surgeon -Bone grafts: used to fill osseous defects and stabilize fx. -Bone autograft: take from same person (iliac crest to transpose to lumbar spine for fusion. -Bone allograft: taken from same species -Passive osteoconduction: auto/allograft support the existing structure and to allow growth of host tissue. -Osteoinduction: graft bone becomes revascularized with stimulation and trasportaton of osteoblast.

Rotator Cuff (RC) Tears: acute trauma or chronic degenerative pathology. • calcified as partial thickness or full thickness tear, size of tear, small: less than 1cm medium: less than 3cm Large: more than 5cm. Surgical Management of shoulder impingement or RC Tear. • Subacromial decompression: done wit no RC tear 1. coracoacromical ligament tresection 2. anterior acromioplasty 3. excision of outer age of the clavicle 4. osteotomies of glenoid and or acromion 5. Acromionectomy o ...or more than over of the above surgeries may be performed -if RC is torn they will repair it and perform subacromial decompression. -Rehab with subacromial decompression and or RC repair of small tears is similar to the pro=op approach over time for healing of soft tissue and bone must be allowed. If RC tear 1-5 cm there must be longer protection time. Rehab after subacromial Decompression with or w/o RC repair 352 1) Phase I: acute or max protection phase 1-6 wk: ISOMETRIC pain management, immobilization- length depends on the extent of tissue damage, Codman pendulum exercises, isometric for decompression and RC repairs (less than 1 cm)- should abd, ER, IR, Elbow flex, should flex with pain decrease, AAROM ex-pulley in pain free range. 2)Phase II: Moderate or fibroblastic phase (7-12wk): Dedicated isolated strength progressive ROM activities( caution with repetitive flex ana abd), MRE in pain free range, theraband PRE's, concentric and eccentric PREs with dumbbells focusing on scap stabilization, pain management prn. 3)Phase III: Minimal protection phase, remodeling phase (12-21wk): Triplainer movement/activity specific movement demonstrate mobility without pain and good motor control: begins when pt can demonstrate mobility without sx and increase strength, progressive strengthening, stabilization, strengthening, gradual return to normal activities. (UBE: backward: easier and less pain—ROM/endurance) Ex: have the electrician perform, body blade multiplane 2min in each plane, • Exercises in all phases: forward flex, scaption, prone horiz abd, scap ex (see pre-op ex) ER. (abd, IR/ER for the rotator cuff). • Repair of large RC tears require longer immobilization and more PROM, generally NO AROM or strengthening for 12-26wk, After surgery patient be put in a sling, airplane splint or abd pillow, rehab for larger tears will generally follow a MD protocol based on surgical procedure.

ACHILLES TENDON RUPTURE.
-sudden eccentric/concentric contraction of gastrocnemius-soleus( 3-4 cm proximal to insertion) -TEST (1): Thompson test: lies prone, w/ entire LE (knee to foot) exposed, gastroc is squeezed to observe if there is any PF is non the test is positive. -Intervention: no-operative are immobilized for 8 weeks and have rerupture rate of 8-39 percent, have greater loss of strength/power/endurance compared to surgical. SURGICAL 0-5% rerupture. 1) NONSURGICAL Rehabiliation: -Immobilization: instructed on general body conditioning program: noninvolved limb (quad, ham, gastro/soleus) are vigorously strengthened and Involved LE thigh and ham should be strengthened. Aerobic exercise is also encouraged, staionary bik using one limb, UBE are safe cardio. -POST-CAST REMOAL: thermal agens (moist heat pre flexibility/ROM) and if pain present use of cold whirlpool or ice packs w/compression can be applied. Initially do what they can tolerate. DF/PF motion is an exceedingly slow process post cast removal gentle DF/PF are initiated immediately. Use of small hell life to minimize stress work for 3-4wk and gradually reduced in size every 2 weeks. progressive AROM is essential for return to function. progressive latex band DF/PF encouraged as pain allows. proprioception employed early depending on pt tolerance( begin in seated position and progress). RERUPTURE usually occurs within 4 weeks after immobilization. MAX: avoid sudden forceful PF/DF. as motion increases gradually CKC resistive ex. based on pt ROM, pain/swelling and length of time after cast removal. Seated stationary cycling used for aerobic fitness, ROM and local mm endurance (seat must be adjusted to avoid excess PF or DF. . stepup can be used with heel lift to encourage eccentric loading. WB PF can be added after sucessfully completing ROM and strength exercise program w/o complications: standing PF (instruct pt to gradually raise on toes using primarily uninvolved limb and lower using both feet), adding a small blod of wood to increae DF stress and motion, & seted calf raises w/ modified leg extension machine. * PTA reasses Pt. ROM, strength, pain, and swelling & modification are necessary if Pt. is having undue pain with any phase of program. isokinetic testing for PF, DF, ROM, strength, power and local mm endurance are generally reserved for MIN phase but isokinetic strengthening exercises can be employed early if done at high speed. 2)OPERATIVELY/Surgical Repair : very variable depending on the procedure performed, depending on surgeon-surgeon and patient to patient. Pt. having different immbilization/wb restrctions, WB, ROM, initiation of strengthening are determined by Physician. -Generally rehab post surgery follows criteria based rehabilitation program described previously. strengthening early as 2-4 wk postimmobilization. Generally most patients are able to return to full activity within 6-9months.
Subacromial Rotator cuff impingement
-tendons of the RC are crowded, buttressed, or compressed undero coracoacromical arch , resulting in mechanical stress, wear, and friction. -PRIMARY Impingement: MECHANICAL COMPRESSION of the RC tendons primarily the supraspinatus tendon as it passes under the coracoacromial ligament. -Secondary Impingement: GH INSTABILITY: that creates reduced subacromial instability creates a reduced subacromial space b/c the humeral head elevates and minimizes the area under the coracoacromical ligament resulting from impairment of mm coordination and WEAKNESS of SCAPULAR STABILIZERS. -AGE RELATED CAUSES: bony osteophystes under anterioinferior acromion. 1) Anatomic Crowding: reduced available space under shoulder. 2) Watershed zone/critical zone/critical portion: an area just proximal to the insertion on the greate tuberosity is hypovascular and is referred to as the (watershed zone), occurs from repeated Abd/Add which compromises blood supply. -Stages of impingement (3 stages) -Stage 1: usually <25 y/o , reversible lesion, clinical feature are edema and hemorrhage, pain is worse w/shoulder abduction greater than 90. -Stage 2: usually 25-40 y/0, irreversable from long term repeated stress, causing suprapinaus tendon, biceps, and subacromial bursa to become fibrotic. pain primary that occurs with daily activities, Frequently cause patient difficulty at night. -Stage 3: >40 y/o, tendon degeneration, rotator cuff tear, and rotator cuff ruptures. associated with history of repeated shoulder pain and dysfunction, as well as significant mm weakness & atrophy. -TEST: 1) Neer painful Arc Test: (impingement of supraspinatus and long head of biceps (90-120 deg) & Acromioclavicular joint involvement (170-180)). Arm fully pronated and placed in forced flexion- Trying to impinge subacromial structures with humeral head- Pain is positive test Neer's Impingement test. 2) Hawkins-Kennedy Test: Arm is forward flexed to 90 degrees, then forcibly internally rotated- Trying to impinge subacromial structures with humeral head- Pain is positive test 3) Drop Arm Test: Patient is sitting or standing with the involved arm fully abducted Patient then slowly lowers the arm back to their side. + unable to slowly lower UE and/or has significant pain. 4) Empty can test: supraspinatus test: Patient stands with both shoulders abducted to 90°, horizontally adducted 30°, and internally rotated so the patient's thumbs face the floor Examiner resists the patient's attempts to actively abduct both shoulders + TEST: Weakness and/or report of pain Positive Test Implications Involvement of the supraspinatus muscle and/or tendon -REHABILITATION: -Secondary Impingement: Requires first the scapulothoracic mm be strengthened and stabilized before specific RC mm weakness can be addressed. Scapulothoracic mm (serratus anterior, upper, middle and lower trapezius, levator scapulae, and rhomboid mm). comprehensive -Nonoperative Treatment -Phase I Pre-functional: above 90 degrees pain free and no shoulder compensation. Starts with Modification of activities b/c activities are made worse at 80-90 degrees, NSAIDS and therapy agents ICE Pack, Ultrasound, pharmacophoresis (iontophoresis/ phonophoresis) and IR laser application. Stretching exercises, encourage nonballistic, slow, controlled, pain-free motion less than 80-90 of elevation. Capsular stretches have been shown to increase motion and assist surrounding mm to assist in shoulder elevation in all planes. Posterior capsular tightness stretches (1) shoulder abduction across the ches and internal shoulder rotation are used to overcome capsular tightness and use of sleeper stretch has been reported. the use of anterior shoulder stretch have been reported to prepare tri-plane overhead motion. Straightening: scapular stabilzatoin and light rotator cuff strengthening. CKC loading such as wall push-ups. CKC exercise will provide co-contraction and triplane stabilization w/ lower mm contraction load than OKC. OKC Progression criteria: Pt. demonstrates improved motion and can do ADLs without pain can begin prone extension to hip, side-lying external rotation and scaption elevation w/o pain are RC recritment exercises. Specific RC exercises should focus on supraspinatus mm, RC mm are effectively strengthened by arm elevation in transverse plane, shoulder elevation w neutral rotation in the plane of scapular, prone Horizontal shoulder abduction with external rotation and seated press ups. -Phase II Return to function: progress with advance scapular stabilization exercises via increasing resistance while using OKC exercises. Electromyographic studes have shown 4 basic scapular stabilization exercises for upper middle and lower trap, levator scapula, rhomboid major/minor, pectoralis major and middle/lower serratus anterior mm (1)rowing, (2)scapular plane elevation (scaption), (3)press ups, & (4) push-ups followed by scapular probation. Phase II to III criteria: strength improves and when motion increases. -Phase III return to activity: functional recover is slow and must be done cautiously; overhead activities are introduced incrementally as patient is able to demonstrate pain free motion and the ability to perform strengthening activities. SURGICAL MANAGEMENT: when PT fails to provide long tern relief and rotator cuff tears (neers stage III impingement, tendon degeneration and cuff tears), Surgical intervention can include 1) subacromial decompression (SAD), acromioplasty, distal clavicule exision (DCE). SURGICAL RC REHABILITATION: -SAD: closely paralled to nonoperative, however time must be allowed for bone and tissue to heal. page 252-253)
