Q

grades of muscle strain: severity, presentation and common length of recovery
I
II
III

A

grade I- minimal damage to single muscle (>5%), generally 2-3 weeks recovery
minimal loss of strength and motion

grade II- more extensive but not completely ruptured
generally 2-3 months before a complete return to athletics
significant loss of strength and motion. These injuries may require

Grade III: Complete rupture of a muscle or tendon
These can present with a palpable defect in the muscle or tendon
generally need surgery

Q

when are muscles the strongest?

how does this affect our stair rehab?

A
  1. muscles are strongest when slightly stretched
  2. going up stairs everything is slightly stretched (hips, knees gluts all bent/ stretched) so easier than going down stairs which is all quads

27
MCL biomechanics | when is it taut
1. taut throughout ROM but increases as knee approached full extension
28
meniscus anatomy medial lateral vascularity
medial- oval or C shape, larger than lateral lateral- circular or O shape, greater mobility vascularity- outer 1/3 from capsule and synovial attachements
29
meniscus function (4)

33
Patellofemoral purposes of patella (2) articular surfaces contact area

36
compartment syndrome def where we usually see it
def: increased pressue w/i fixed osseofascial compartment causing compression of muscular and neurovascular structures can occur in any compartment but most often seen in lower leg
37
acute compartment syndrome common cause how do it present? does anything increase pain? how is it confirmed treatment
* *considered a medical emergency 1. from direct trauma/ fracture 2. presents with pain, tightness and swelling 3. decreased pedal pulses/ sensory changes 4. pain with passive stretch confirm dx by intercompartmental pressure measurements relieved by emergency fasciotomy
38
chronic compartment syndrome symptoms most common compartments (2) treatment
activity related symptoms most common compartments: anterior deep posterior low success with conservative treatment => surgery
39
acute exertional compartment syndrome when does it occur etiology
occurs during intense, repetitive exercise, most frequently long distance runners... repetitive muscle contraction or acute trauma causes muscles to swell etiology: tissues can't expand to alleviate pressure, nerves and BV compressed => ischemia (pain) and sensory disturbances increase P => decrease venous flow => increased capillary leakage => decreased arterial flow
40
poor biomechanics that can lead to compartment syndrome (4)
1. overstriding 2. increased heel strike 3. increased pronation 4. weak hip or core muscles causing increased ground reaction forces
41
clinical presentation of compartment syndrome (5)
1. aching, burning or cramping in affected compartment 2. tightness 3. numbness or tingling 4. weakness 5. foot drop in severe cases
42
pain pattern of compartment syndrome (3) dx - how and normal and abnormal #s
1. several minutes to come on 2. progressively worsens 3. stops 15-30 minutes after cessation of exercise dx: use needle catheter to measure pressure in compartment immediately after intense exercise normal 0-10mm Hg dx: > 35mm Hg post exercise
43
conservative management of compartment syndrome (5)
1. activity modification => cross training 2. deep soft tissue massage 3. myofascial release 4. new shoes/ orthodics 5. work on gait deficiencies
44
achilles tendon rupture who is affected most? age/ gender cause
1. males > females 2. age > 35 from sudden acceleration or deceleration
45

46
``` achilles tendon rupture rehab overview (3) what don't we do? main focus (2) ```
1. protect repair 2. active ROM 3. gradual strengthening/ avoid high loads ** don't stretch** focus on gait and strength*
47
ankle sprains | most common ligament sprains and how we do it
anterior talo-fibular ligament sprained by PF then inversion
48
ankle sprains mechanism of injury lateral sprain medial sprain synedsmosis
lateral: PF/ inversion/ ER medial: PF/ eversion/ valgus stress syndesmosis: fixed foot with tib IR/ high valgus force
49
how much DF do we need for normal gait?
10 degrees
50
plantar fascitis common pt population pain presentation (2) what increases pain? some causes (5)
common in middle aged women and young male runners- very common w/ obesity presents with pain in proximal arch and heel pain with toe/ forefoot DF WB increases tension running increases WB 2x ``` some causes: leg length discrepancy pes cavas excessive pronation of subtalar joint increased flexibility of longitudinal arch gastroc/ soleus tightness ```
51
turf toe- what is it? treatment (3)
1. hyperextension of MTP of great toe treatment: activity modification flat insoles - to help with push off taping
52
general RTP guidelines
1. full ROM 2. flexibility meets demands of sport 3. lack of apprehension w/ sport specific movements 4. quality of movements 5. muscle strength >85-90% unaffected limb
53
SAID principle
