25
functional leg length discrepancy
most due to: - pelvic obliquities - mm contractures - tight capsular structures - other joint abnormalities ** usually responses by 12 mo s/p THA
26
muscular-balance length and strength
- abd/add contracture - quad lumborum tightness - hamstring tightness - hip flex tightness (psoas, RF, TFL)
27
faulty gait patterns secondary to:
- pre-op gait pattern - implant design - decreased joint proprioception due to OA - PT related issues (muscle weakness, decreased muscle flexibility, capsular changes)
28
Gait: chronic locomotion issues one year after THA
- decreased gait speed - decreased hip ext early push off - decrease hip ext moment of force during early stance - decrease peak abd moment at end of weight bearing - decrease peak ER moment during mid-stance
29
rehab for gait
- address specific joint limitations - incorporate exercise into gait activities - CKC - eccentric training - Symmetry: arm swing, strength, pelvic, WB - posture - flexibility - coordination - agility - proximal and distal joint
30
theres some research stuff if you wanna look at it
I dont
31
important considerations for recreational activity post THA
- pre-op activity - surgical reconstruction, anatomic and biomechanic reconstruction, well-designed implant, properly balanced - implant failure/fracture - implant fixation/loosening - joint bearing surface wear - traumatic complications - load, repetition, frequency, risk of fall, risk of contact
32
return to activity
- start slowly, build stamina - minimize joint loading - no jumping - no extreme motion - pain free for 24 hours after activity
33
recommended activities post THA
Golf Swimming Doubles tennis Stairclimber Walking Stationary Skiing Bowling Treadmill Station Bicycling Elliptical Low-Impact Aerobics Rowing Dancing Weight Machines
34
Activities not recommended post THA
Jogging Racquetball Squash Contact sports High impact aerobics Baseball/Softball Snowboarding Martial Arts Singles Tennis Waterskiing Handball
35
Types of knee arthroplasties
- Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty - TKA: 90% cases successful, survivorship 12-13 years, newer polyethylene approach (20 years) - LPS- Flex Fixed Bearing Knee (Hi-Flex TKA) - LPS- Flex Mobile Bearing Knee (Hi-Flex TKA)
36
knee flexion activities that require less than 120 degrees
sitting walking stairs
37
knee flexion activities that require more than 120 degrees
sitting criss cross apple sauce kneeling gardening I guess
38
advantages of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UCKA)
- replace only diseased bone (preservation of bone stock, more normal kinematics because cruciate preserved) - decreased blood loss and extent of surgery - feels more like a normal knee - greater arc of motion - shortened hospitalization - normalized giat - mobile UCKA
39
arc of motion of UCKA vs TKA
- UCKA: 0-135 - TKA: 0-120
40
UCKA indications
- osteoarthritis - single compartment disease (most often medial) - activity and rest pain - >120 degrees ROM - No instability: ACL INTACT - Age: usually <55 years - Informed patient
41
if a patient does not have an ACL can they have UCKA
N O N O N O N O N O NO
42
LPS-Flex Fixed and Mobile Bearing Knee (Hi-Flex TKA)
TKAs designed to mechanically sustain the loads during flexion angles up to 155 degrees and to accommodate patients tat have the requirements, need and ability to continue their flexible lifestyle (younger, more active)
43
Considerations for Hi-Flex TKA
- patients activity level - need for high flexion - adherence to rehabilitation - surgeons judgement that the patient will flex beyond 125 post op
44
LPS-Flex Mobile Bearing Knee
beneficial for active patients, preferable for those who have the desire and ability to kneel, squat or sit cross-legged
45
Parameters for Hi-Flex TKA patient
younger more active more flexible to begin with
46
TKA general guidelines - max protection phase
- control pain and swelling - achieve independent ambulation and transfers using AD - prevent early post op complications - regain quads strength and improve knee ROM
47
TKA general guidelines - mod protection phase
- achieve approx 110 flex and 0 ext - regain LE strength and muscular endurance, balance, cardio endurance
48
TKA general guidelines - min protection phase
- task specific strengthening - proprioceptive and balance training - advanced functional training
49
what a PT should know from surgeon
- ligament stability - soft tissue status - extensor mechanism integrity - intraoperative ROM
50
key point in rehab - emphasize terminal ext ROM
- when possible measure in prone - quiet standing is energy efficient - instancing, WB line falls slightly ant to axis of knee
51
TKA - knee flex contracture
- excessive load on femoral and polyethylene components - increased quads force during WB - 30 degree flex contracture = quads demand rises to 50% of max contractile effort - impaired endurance - impaired function clinically
52
TKA ROM loss etiology
- pre op ROM - underlying disease (RA) - primary vs revision TKA - post op pain - CRPS - Aseptic loosening or infection - arthrofibrosis - technical errors
53
ROM loss results in
- altered gait mechanics - quads fatigue - increased VO2 demand - hip/back discomfort - unhappy patient/poor outcome
54
TKA reg flags
- no increase in ext range - hard end feel in flexion - increase co-contraction of Q+H
55
Patellar instability post TKA
- sublux or dislocation - 2-7% incidence - malalignment with increased Q angle and lateral pull - contact surgeon
56
if there isnt at least 90 degrees of knee flex by week 3-4 what should you do
call the surgeon
57
intervention - STM
- myofascial release - patellar/ scar mobilization
58
talk about importance of hip abductors
- they have higher correlation w/ measures of physical function than did demographics, anthropometric measures, or Quad strength
59
whats the most important determinant of the likelihood of sports participation after TKA
pre-op participation in the sport itself
60
what does UCKA more predictably allow
return to low impact sports
