QuestionAnswer
evaluation and treatment model based on specific impairment, functional loss, and attainable quality of life rather than a medical diagnosis disablement model
loss of abnormality or anatomical, physiological, mental or psychological structure or function (ex: loss of ROM) impairment
restriction of the ability to perform at the level of the whole person, a physical action, task or activity, in an efficient, typically expected or competent manner functional limitation
functional limitation is commonly quantified by self-report scoring forms
the inability to perform actions, tasks, and activities usually expected in specific social roles that are customary for the individual or expected for the person's status or rule in a specific socio-cultural context and physical environment disability
6 elements of patient management examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, intervention, outcomes
examination includes history, systems review, testing, determining if they are right for PT (have primary musculoskeletal problem)
evaluation description PT makes clinical judgements based on data gathered from the examination
diagnosis description end result of evaluating examination data
expected level of improvement to be attained with intervention and the amount of time required to reach that level prognosis
______ details interventions to be used as well as expected frequency and duration of care plan of care
purposeful and skilled interaction of the PT with the patient using various methods and techniques to produce a change in condition intervention
results of management of the case outcomes
common reasons for error assumptions, too few hypothesis, not sampling enough info, assuming only one association between regions
in what part is clinical alliance gained subjective exam
traumatic onset defining moment
insidious onset doesn't have specific moment/ can't recall when it started
referred pain when you feel pain in a location but it's not coming from that location
dermatome pattern of sensation from a specific nerve root
myotome motor, pattern of weakness associated with a specific nerve root
conditions favoring referred pain strength of stimulus (the more inflamed, the greater the stimulus), position of structure (proximal refer more than distal), depth (deeper structures are more difficult to localize), nature of structure
features of referred pain usually segmental, doesn't cross mid-line, reference occurs distal, lesion not necessarily in painful area, pain can be felt anywhere in dermatome
suspect referred pain when patient complains of deep burning / aching along limb , pain from posterior to anterior trunk , deep pain with large, poorly defined boundaries, if painful area has no physical signs
screening for medical disease cardiovascular system heart trouble, sweating associated with pain, palpitations, smoker, HBP, high cholesterol, SOB, orthopnea, swelling, rheumatic fever, family history, do your symptoms change when going up a flight of stairs
screening for medical disease GI system difficulty swallowing, nausea, heartburn, vomiting, specific food intolerance, constipation, stool color change, do your symptoms change when you've eaten food/hungry
SINSS severity, irritability, nature, stability, stage
severity helps to determine how vigorous exam will be. how bad is the pain. what is the impact on function
irritability how much to provoke the pain, how long to ease
nature pathology- musculoskeletal, nociceptive, psychosocial
stage acute, sub-acute, chronic
stability present state- worsening, static, or improving
yellow flags are factors that increase risk of developing long term disability and work loss, higher likelihood of chronic pain
yellow flags high fear levels, catastrophizing pain, central sensitization
5 x 5 scheme of Frisch inspection / observation ADL, posture, shape, skin, aids
5 x 5 scheme of Frisch functional exam active, passive, resisted, traction/compression, gliding
5 x 5 scheme of Frisch palpation skin and subcutaneous tissue, muscle and tendon, tendon sheaths and bursae, joints, nerves and blood vessels
5 x 5 scheme of Frisch neurological tests nerve trunk, reflexes and key muscles, sensory, motor (central and peripheral paralysis), coordination
5 x 5 scheme of Frisch additional tests radiology, lab tests, electro diagnosis, punctures, other (referral to other specialists)
contractile muscle, tendon junction, tendon
non contractile bone, nerve, blood vessels, bursae, CT
active motion stresses contractile AND non contractile
info gained from active motion ability and willingness to move, absence of a painful arc
passive motion stresses non contractile (sometimes antagonist contractile tissue)
info gained from passive motion sequence of pain to resistance, end feel
types of ROM limited, full, excessive
capsular ROM progressive pattern of loss of motion, in synovial joints, typically arthritis is involved
things that limit movement weakness, tightness, pain, joint restriction
early stage of capsular ROM limited by muscle guard / spasm
later stage of scapular ROM limited by connective tissue
capsular pattern for knee loss of knee FLEXION before knee extension
if pain before resistance acute
if pain synchronous with resistance sub-acute
if pain after resistance late stage inflammation
sensation imparted to examiner's hand when the extreme of possible range is reached end feel
6 types of end feel bone to bone, soft tissue approximation, capsular, muscular, springly,
bone to bond hard end feel, elbow extension is an example
soft tissue approximation example elbow flexion
capsular end feel leathery, little give but not much
3 variations of muscular end feel muscular insufficiency, slow guard, fast guard
muscular insufficiency hitting a tight muscle
slow guard resistance secondary to a muscle contraction, patient is protecting muscle
fast guard even more abrupt stop of motion, very acute, muscle is highly aggravated
2 abnormal end feels springy and empty
springy bounce (ex: meniscus torn)
empty don't get an end feel, either bc joint itself is too acute or patient is highly afraid
resisted tests are designed to selectively place tension on contractile tissues
isometric contraction happens in midrange
if resisted test finding is strong and painless contractile and nerve are okay
if resisted test finding is strong and painful, contractile INVOLVED, nerve okay
if resisted test finding is weak and painless contractile possibly involved, nerve is LIKELY involved
if resisted test finding is weak and painful contractile LIKELY involved, nerve possibly involved
if if resisted test finding is all painful acute or psychogenic
separation of joint surfaces traction
approximation of joint surfaces compression
both traction and compression are _____ to treatment plane perpendicular
limited range in traction means contracture
excessive range in traction means hyper mobility
increase pain in traction means possible tear of CT
decreased pain in traction means possible joint surface damage (patients w/OA like traction bc it relieves pressure )
if increase in pain in compression, means possible joint surface damage
if decrease pain in compression, means it eases connective tissue tension
for gliding, passive movements are _____ to treatment plane parallel
limited range in gliding means CT contracture
excessive range in gliding means damaged CT
hypomobility- okay to mobilize? yes
hypermobility- okay to mobilize? contraindication
common sources of error with mobilization condition is too acute, minor, more than 1 lesion present, psychogenic component of pain, human error
