Question
Answer
Functional Knee ROM: Gait   Gait: -0°ext for symmetry -60°during in the swing phase  
🗑
Functional Knee ROM: Stairs descent   Stair descent: -90°flexion -May need up to 120°flexion  
🗑
Functional Knee ROM: Sit to stand from toilet/ low chair   105°flexion  
🗑
Functional Knee ROM: Cycling   ~120°flexion  
🗑
Normal Knee ROM   -Maximally flexed to 60° @ mid-swing and 20° flexion at foot flat -Maximally hyper-extended up to 10° at heel off  
🗑
ACL   -Runs anterior tibia to posterior femur -Attaches centrally & anteriorly on tibia -Runs superior and posterior -Attaches posteriorly on lateral aspect of intercondylar fossa  
🗑
ACL will likely need sx because?   Clotting inhibited by synovial fluid and continual instabillty  
🗑
ACL risk factors: Primary ACL injury   -Non-modifiable Female > Male/ pre-ovulation phase/ narrow intercondylar femoral notch/ post. tib. slope & hyperext. -Modifiable High shoe surface friction&BMI/ loading patterns/ impaired trunk proprioception & kinesthesia/ decreased visual processing  
🗑
ACL risk factors cont.   -Lower strength w/ ACL tears -Low ham to quad ratio  
🗑
ACL control with valgus landing   -Poor control: significant valgus movement/ knee medial to foot -Reduced control: some valgus movement/ knee not entirely medial to foot  
🗑
ACL risk factors: Second ACL injury   -Similar to primary plus excessive hip IR  
🗑
ACL   -Start with internal and progress to external  
🗑
ACL PT Rx: Phase 2   -Intensive muscle training -Plyometrics -No pivoting  
🗑
ACL PT Rx: Phase 3   Pivoting begins  
🗑
STG vs BPTB   -STG better -BPTB had inconsistent anterior knee P!, primarily with kneeling  
🗑
PCL   -Thicker and stronger than ACL/ least injured knee ligament -Runs from post. tibia to ant. femur -Attaches centrally & post. on tibia -Runs superior and anterior -Attaches ant. on medial aspect of intercondylar fossa  
🗑
PCL etiology   -Hyperflexion -Hyperextension- also may damage ACL  
🗑
PCL tests and measures   -Quad active test -Sag-most sensitive  
🗑
PCL PT Rx   -Similar to ACL except -For a PCL, avoid 60°flexion maximum initially -Emphasize quad strengthening and coordination to limit post. tibial gliding  
🗑
MCL   -Most commonly injured knee lig. -Flat, broad lig. -Runs from medial condyles of femur and tibia -Attaches to; medial meniscus/ pot. capsule/ adjacent mm & tendon units -  
🗑
MCL   -Tight during extension -Taut with tibial ER -Slack with flexion  
🗑
MCL tests   Valgus stress  
🗑
MCL PT Rx   -Limit valgus and tibial ER stress in maximal protectionphase -Most will not need sx  
🗑
LCL   -Strong, seldom injuried -Etiology- excessive varus stress -Round, cordlike -Attaches lateral condyle of femur to fibular head -No attachment to menisci -Slack in flex. -Varus stress test  
🗑
LCL PT Rx   -Limit varus and tibial ER stress in max protection phase -Most wont need sx  
🗑
Sprains PT Rx   -Mod.: CPM showed weak support -Man. ther. -Ther. ex.: supervisied + HEP=mod. support open/ closed chain exer.= strong support coordination training= mod. support  
🗑
Menisci   -2nd most common knee injury -Nearly circular, wedge shaped fibrocartilage disc -Attached to tibia -Purpose: tension>shock absorption & stability  
🗑
Medial Meniscus   -Torn more frequently -Attachment to MCL  
🗑
Lateral Meniscus   -more mobile w/out ligamentous attachment  
🗑
Meniscus risks   -Acute- soccer and rugby -Degeneration'-Previous knee injury  
🗑
