Examination | -Data collection and scales |
Evaulation | -Processing and applying data |
Palpation of skin | -Warm -Cold -Turgor -Swelling |
Dermatomes | -Light vs. Sharp touch
-Hypo-, normal, hyper- sensitive |
Myotomes | -Looking for endurance of max contraction, fatiguing weakness |
ROM important note: | -Not just an issue of a tight muscle
-Tissue integrity: not only or always strength issue/ more endurance as you know it |
PROM Indications: | -P!
-Swelling/ impaired circulation
-Muscle guarding
-Shortened tissue
-Prevent loss of ROM
-Limited tissue tolerances/ proliferation |
PROM contraindications: | -MD orders
-Empty end feel/impingement
-Bony end feel
-Jt. crepitus
-Infection/ hematoma
-Unstable direction/ jt. |
AAROM and AROM won't: | -Will not develop pure strength unless very weak/ low level |
Toe region | -Collagen waves removed
-1st tissue stop at end of region
-Shorter with age |
Elastic region | -Elongated but returns to normal |
Plastic region | -2nd tissue stop
-Microscopic failure
-Length changes
-More velocity dependent |
Necking | -Weakening
-Less force needed for elongation
-Failure quickly even with less force |
Creep phenomenon | -Longer stress= greater strain or viscosity |
Warmer tissue = | -Less chance of injury and greater lengthening |
Viscous | -Resistance to flow; thick and sticky |
Muscle spindle | -Mechanoreceptor that senses speed of strain |
Golgi Tendon Organ (GTO) | -Mechanoreceptor that senses amount of strain |
Tissues limiting ROM | -Skin adhesions
-Muscle/ tendon
-Various types of muscle guarding
-Neurological facilitation of muscle from spine
-Capsule: hypo/hyper mobility, impaired arthrokin.
-Bursa
-Cartilage
-Neurological- impingement/ neuropathy
-Disc lesion
-Bone |
Stretching Evidence | -No beneficial effect on preventing sports injuries |
Stretching Precautions | -Osteoporosis
-Prolonged immobilization due to tissue sensitivity to stretch
-Don't stretch a contracting tissue |
Stretching Contraindications | -Same for all ROM and....
-Non-elastic/ capsular end feel
-Tissues shortening provides stability to the jt in place of the normal stability
-Tissue shortening allows for increased function due to other limitations |
Stretch Evidence: Static stretch | -Best results @ 5-30 min. static stretch
-No greater benefit between 30-60 min |
PNF: Hold/ relax | -Stimulate spinal reflexes that create muscle resistance to stretch
-Isometric action of tight muscle for 5 sec.
-Relax and move into new range |
Static vs PNF | -Equally effective |
Active vs Passive | -No significant difference |
Muscle Energy Technique | -Similar to PNF
-Applied to H. Abds vs ERs and control |
Active Isolated Stretching Evidence | -Static stretching better |
Lumbar JM Stretching Evidence | -Significantly increased hamstring length vs. stretching or controls |
Stretching for less/more rigid muscles | -Short duration for less rigid muscle restrictions
-Hamstring studies: static significant increase; passive hold lasted 3 min.
-Long duration for more rigid muscle restrictions (i.e after immobilization, fxs) |
Stretching evidence: Refutes increased mm extensibility due to: | -Neuromuscular relaxation with Static/ Ballistic/ PNF
-Viscoelastic deformation of mm
-Plastic deformation o |
Stretching recent theories | -Sensory Theory: Increased muscle extensibility due to alteration in perceived sensation/ Uncertain peripheral and/or central phenomenon
-Psychological alteration of willingness to tolerate more “stretch |
Adaptive shortening | -i.e. a muscle contracture or decreased muscle extensibility cannot be determined by ROM alone |
Post injury/ sx scar tissue strength | -10% at 1 wk
-40% at 6 weeks- safe with 2nd tissue stop Rx
-70% at 2 months (8-9 weeks)
-100% at 1 year |
Measuring Strength | -Repetition maximum (RM)
-Dynamometry- isometric
-Cable tensiometry- isometric
-Isokinetic machines
-Manual muscle testing (MMT) |
Resistance | -Force that opposes motion |
Thera-band | -Less resistance than tubing |
Resistance exercise indications | -Best injury prevention |
Resistance exercise precautions | -Acute injury
-Cardiovascular Dx- Valsalva maneuver
-Deconditioned patients
-Progressive weakening
-Elderly re: positions/parameters
-DOMS
-Dehydration |
Overload principles | -Tissue must be challenged to perform at a level greater than to which it is accustomed; guiding principle of exercise prescription |
SAID | Specific adaptation to imposed demands |
Isometric beneficial with: | Isotonic |
Remodeling phase | 2 wks to a month |
Repair phase | 48 hrs to 10 wks |
Dense connective tissue is what type of collagen | Type I; resists tension |
Ligament/Capsule healing: Tensile strength | 50% @ 6mths
80% @ 1 yr
100% in 1 to 3 yrs |
Bone | Type I collagen; resists tension
-1/3 organic 2/3 inorganic |
Bone healing | Repair: soft boney callus forms ( 1 to 3 wks)
Modeling- hard boney callus
Remodeling- heals 100% original collagen (3 to 4 mths) |
Fracture | -Start PT @ 3-8 wks of immobilization |
Articular cartilage | -Type II collagen; compression; ends of long bones; avasular |
OA most common @ what jts | Hip and knee
-OA heals with type I collagen (tension) |
Fibrocartilage Healing: Tensile strength | -Improves @ 3-5 wks (40% integrity) even better when dense fibrous tissue fills @ 10-12 wks (70% integrity) |
Difference in partial meniscectomy vs Meniscal repair | Partial: faster recovery, early ROM, FWB sooner, higher risk of degeneration
Repair; longer time line, slow recovery, lower risk of degeneration |
Tendon | Type I collagen; tension; hypovascular/neural |
Tendon ruptures | higher forces during fast eccentrics |
Tendon healing | Tensile strength really improves @ ~3-5 wks (~40% integrity)
Even greater tensile strength when dense fibrous tissue fills in @ ~ 10-12 wks (~70% integrity) |
Sarcomere | functional unit of skeletal mm |
Muscle healing | ~ 1 wk- central zone of injury filled in with dense fibrous tissue
~ 3 wks- central zone of injury has all but disappeared in most strains but remodeling still occurring |
