🗑
What is the primary focus of treating Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease?   Relieve pain, maintain the femoral head in the proper position, improve ROM  
🗑
What can PT do for Legg-Calve-Perthes patients?   Stretching, splinting, crutch training, aquatic therapy, traction, exercise  
🗑
Is orthotic devices and surgical intervention indicated in Legg-Calve-Perthes disease?   YES depending on classification and severity of the condition  
🗑
What is another name for Osgood-Schlatter disease and what is it?   Traction apophysis; repetitive traction on the tibial tuberosity apophysis  
🗑
What is the cause of swelling in Osgood-Schlatter disease?   The repeated tension to the patella tendon over the tibial tuberosity causes a small avulsion of the tuberosity which causes swelling  
🗑
What are the characteristics of Osgood-Schlatter disease?   Point tenderness over the patella tendon insertion on the tibial tubercle, antalgic gait, pain with increasing activity  
🗑
What activities would place strain on the patella tendon that you should avoid in someone with Osgood-Schlatters disease?   Squatting, running or jumping  
🗑
What should conservative treatment focus on with Osgood-Schlatter disease?   Education, icing, flexibility exercises and eliminating activities that place strain on the patella tendon (squatting, running, jumping)  
🗑

🗑
How many classifications are there of osteogenesis imperfect?   4 classifciations that vary in levels of severity  
🗑
Osteogenesis imerfecta is a genetically inheritated disease; which types are considered autosomal dominant traits and which traits are considered autosomal recessive traits?   Autosomal dominant:Type I and IV Autosomal recessive traits: Types II, III  
🗑
What are the characteristics of osteogenesis imperfecta?   Pathological fractures, osteoporosis, hypermobile joints, bowing of the long bones, weakness, scoliosis,impaired respiratory function  
🗑
What are the essential areas of treatments in osteogenesis imperfecta?   Use of orthotics, active and symmetrical movements, positioning, functional mobility and fracture management  
🗑
When does treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta start and how does it start?   Begins at birth with caregiver education and proper handling and facilitation of movement  
🗑
What are the 4 classifications of scoliosis?   Infantile, juvenile, adolescent, or adult  
🗑
What neuromuscular and musculoskeletal conditions is scoliosis associated with?   CP, MD, leg length discrepancy  
🗑
Is the cause of scoliosis always known?   No, some have unknown etiology or could have altered development of the spine in utero  
🗑
What are the characteristics of a structural curve in scoliosis?   Cannot be corrected with active or passive movements  
🗑
Is the rotation of the vertebrae towards the convex or concave side in a structural curve and which side is the rib hump?   Rotation toward convex side, rib hump on convex side  
🗑
Where should you look for asymmetries for in a structural curve scoliosis?   Shoulders, scapulae, pelvis and skinfolds  
🗑
How does a non-structural scoliosis curve correct with active ROM?   Lateral bending towards the apex of the curve-  
🗑
What is the cause of the non-structural scoliosis curve and will it progress and does it involve rotation of the vertebrae?   Cause: leg length discrepancy, Non-progressive, minimal rotation  
🗑
What is the treatment for scoliosis curves that are less than 25 degrees?   Monitoring  
🗑
What is the treatment for scoliosis curves that are between 25 and 40 degrees?   Orthotic management, PT intervention for posture, flexibility, respiratory function and body mechanics  
🗑

🗑
What are the causative factors of talipes equiniovarus?   Theories include familial tendency, positioning in utero or defect in ovum  
🗑
What neuromuscular conditions does club foot accompany?   Spina bifida, arthrogryposis- club foot may result from the lack of movement in utero to reposition  
🗑
When does treatment start for talipes equinovarus and what does it consist of?   Soon after birth, includes splinting and serial casting; goal is to restore proper positioning of the foot and ankle  
🗑
What does the treatment consist of if conservative treatment failed in club foot?   Surgical intervention and subsequent casting  
🗑
What is the most common chronic rheumatic disease in children?   Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA): inflammation of joints and connective tissue  
🗑
What is the causative factor associated with JRA?   Exact etiology unknown, causative factors include external source such as a virus, infection, or trauma that may trigger an autoimmune response producing JRA in a child with a genetic predisposition
