Observation -starts in waiting room Looking at: alignment, bony contours, soft tissue contours, deformity, limb position, skin/scars, attitude, facial expressions, willingness to move, -Palpate for condition! (red, hot, swollen)
-Test normal side first -AROM before PROM -Test painful motions last -Repeat or sustain isometrics Over pressure Degree and quality of ligament testing -myotomes -warn or exacerbation -refer if necessary Principles of Examinations -things to remember during objective exam ex. don't do this first
Active Motion Ask: When and where the pain is Look at: Quality/intensity of sx reaction, restriction, rhythm pattern willingness
Passive Motion & End Feel -where, when, intensity, quality of pain -Normal end Feel: --boney=hard --soft tissue=soft --tissue stretch=firm -Capsular pattern
Capsular pattern pattern of motion restriction if wrong, may suggest entire capsule is restricted ex. knee: flexion more limited than extension
-bony -Empty -Muscle spasm -Capsular -Springy Block Abnormal End Feels: -to muscle there -can't get to it, too much pain -twitching -stiff; no give -too much collagen; stops&boucnes; lack of motion
-size: hypertrophy, atrophy, swelling -length -strength -tissue texture -facilitation or inhibition Contractile tissue we're assessing for (6)

Goals important bc: -lets you know you're doing your job -come up with treatment plan for each goal -insurance looks at this -treatment plan is working if succeed in these -if not reached, change things up
Problem List Summary of objective findings
Assessment - Problem List - Short Term and Long Term goals - Prognosis
Prognosis - how someone will respond to PT -ex. want to increase flexibility of hamstring to increase ability to go up stairs
Plan of Care -Specific interventions that address the objective findings (short & long term goals) -Duration and frequency of threrapy
Ligaments Bands of grossly parallel fibrous connective tissue that "tie" or "bind" bones together at or near the margins of bony articulation -named for bony attachment, shape, relationship o the joint, or relationship to each other
Gross Ligamentous Structure -dense, white bands of connective tissue -functional stubunits -have poor blood supply but are not inert -capsuloligamentous relationship -synergistic relationship
Ligamentous function -Passive guidance of bone position and function -Joint Stabilization during the introduction of applied loads -Mechanoreceptor: position receptor feeding info back to CNS affecting quantity and quality of muscle firing
Mechanoreceptor what action of the ligament shut down the quads when ACL tore
C-Type Nerve Fibers ACL contains them Pain nerve fibers
Ligament Ultrastructural Organization Bony interface with fibrocartilaginous cells (Sharpy's fibers') Midsubstance made of fibroblast and crossfibers
Biochemical comoposition of ligaments 2/3 H2O 1/3 SOLID - 75% collagen - proteoglycans -elastin
Soft Tissue mechanics of ligaments load-deformation behavior stress and strain fiber recruitment depends on joint at time of loading
Ligament Viscosity "fluid like" qualities Load relaxation Cyclic Loading - these means ligaments can be trained these properties in ligaments are dominant in kids
Ligament elasticity Ligament has the ability to completely recover to its resting length - these behaviors dominant at larger loads
Factors affecting ligamentous Integrity -Size of the ligament -Age of the host (ligaments peak energy absorbing ability at skeletal maturity) position of the joint at moment of loading
Use it or lose it -bony insertions recover more quickly than the midsubstance Effects of immobilization "moto"
Effects of exercise on ligaments -ligament becomes stronger and stiffer w/o exercise is about 80-90% its mechanical potential -this can add 10-20% of ligamentous strength
MCL First limit to valgus force
triad MCL, Medial Meniscus, ACL
PCL Secondary to valgus restraint Primary restraint to posterior translation 90%
Meniscofemoral ligament ligament of humphrey ligament of wrisberg -> help to prevent posterior translation ->both are taut with internal rotation of the tibia
ACL -Primary restraint to anterior translation -Restraint to internal tibial rotation with PCL. Secondary restraint to valgus w/PCL
Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3 Incomplete tear (no instability) more significant partial tear with some noted instability Complete tear with complete instability
Position of injury Range of instability in ligamentous injury is related to
Ligament Healing time frames -10 days to 2 weeks for full recovery -2-3 weeks of rehab/rest (protective) -2-3 weeks progressive rehab -3-6 weeks modified to progressive -may take 3-6 months before 70-80% of original strength Ligament Healing Time Frames: Grade 1 (First Degree) Grade 2 (2nd) Grade 3
ACL graft reconstruction Graft - Autograph (self), Allograph (dead), Xenograft(other animal), Artificial graft Accelerated Rehab- BPTB graph; Shelbourne & Nitz(has patients move earlier)
-graft failure (hs would stretch) -stability -morbidity -cosmesis BPTB vs HS grafts Concerns
Tendon -dense connective tissue -distal larger & better developed -proximal is shorter, smaller, and has fleshy attachment to bone -collagen inserts into bone at 90 degree angle
Chemical Composition of Tendon -Collagen (70-80% type 1) -Ground substances (GAGS & H2O) -Water -extracellular processing-cross linking leads to the load bearing ability -don't have good blood supply -hemoglobin gives nutrients to these (when smoke CO2 goes in and not O2)
Collagen Disorders -Syndromes that are related to a decrease in COLLAGEN CROSS LINKING Ehler-Danlos Syndrom Osteogenesis Imperfecta Marfan Syndrome
small to large Tendon structure goes fromsmall to large or large to small?
cross sectional size and length longer=stretchier bigger=hold greater load amount of force resisted by tendons and absolute change in length during load is dependent on..
Protein degradation exceeds sythesis= decreased collagen Collagen and crosslink concentration decline and tendon weakens effects of immobility of tendons
extrinsic tendinitis tendinitis that is not caused by tendon itself but by an outside factor -Rotator cuff -ITB frichtion syndrome
Intrinsic Tendinitis -inflammation due to change or inadequacies within structure -due to inability for the tendon to match physical demands placed on it -overuse injury -Patellar, achilles, HS, or adductor all this
menisci -outer 1/3 is vascularized by genicular artery -flexion/extension -tibial rotation -help improve congruence in knee
meniscal tears verticle, radial, horizontal (cleavage), "bucket handle", "parrot beak", flap
Chondromalacia can have anywhere but common at knees -breakdown of articular cartilage; worse than arthritis

lateral stabalizers quadratus lumborum, obliques, hip abductors and adductors inverters: tibialis posterior, FDL, FHL everters: peroneals -erector spinae
weak- left side neck, spine, and oblique tight-right side neck, spine, oblique if head is rotated right and side bend right -left should is higher -thoracolumbar: side bent toward right and right side of pelvis higher ---what muscles weak and what strong?
adducted if sidebent left and rotated right at the trunk, and left hip is higher...abducted or adducted at hips
weakened muscles that are shorted are going to be
congenital scoliosis -appreciable lateral convexity -caused by specific congenitally anomalous vertebrae (born with it) defects of formation: failure of vertebra part of vertebral segment (hemivertebra) defects of segmentation: failure of segmentation
idiopathic scholiosis -lateral curvature of the spine in an otherwise healthy child -no evidence of underlying neurologic or muscular disorders -no developmental anomalies -infantile (before 3)l juvinile (to puberty), adolescent (after puberty)
the type of scoliosis it is named after the direction in which the curve heads toward and the part of the spine (ex. right thoracic curve-curves at right shoulder)
cobb method -measuring angle/degree of scholiosis -30-40 degrees curve is not as harmful bc succession with back braces ->50 degrees bad
measuring or rotation -pedicles should be equidistant from midline -pedicle move toward midline=+1 - pedicle in midline=+2
torsional force with sidebending you get ______ force
paul harrington -though of rods in the back to fix scoliosis
ideal plumb alignment: -external auditory meatus -bodies of cervicle vertebrae -tip of acromion and shoulder joint -bodies of lumbar vertebrae -high point of iliac crest -greater trocanter, posterior to hipjoint -anterior to knee joint axis -anterior to lateral malleolu
