Question
Answer
4 principls of rehab   endurance ex, proprioception/balance activities, coordination agility, sport/function specific/work harding  
🗑
use AD until   pain-free amb, minimal gait deviation, LE mmt 4/5--need to get out of pain to get out of acute phase  
🗑
benefit of using crutches   need to get out of pain to get out of acute stg, usng crutches shortens acute phase  
🗑
PT progress as tolerated avoiding   pain (muscle guarding), edema, spasm  
🗑
grade 1 ligament injury   some fibers torn, integ remains, jt stable, mild pain, mild edema, local tenderness  
🗑
grade 2 lig injury   more fibers torn w/inc in jt motion, mod pain requiring cessation of activity, stress & palpation greatly inc pain, excessive jt motion w/stress test  
🗑
grade 3 lig injury   near complete or complete tear, severe pain, stress to tissue is PAINLESS, palpation may reveal defect, great instability of jt, most often requires surgical repair  
🗑
are ligaments vascular?   yes, particularly at origin & insertion  
🗑
what kind of sensory does a lig have?   mechanoreceptors (proprioception), free nerve endings (pain)  
🗑
what is characteristic of extraarticular ligament?   example LCL. heal spontaneously & predicably - have vascular supply, fibers can come back tog b/c no synovial fluid to interfer  
🗑
what is characteristic of intraarticular ligaments?   example ACL. vascular response but limited by synovial fluid  
🗑
what to expect in healing process of MCL   grades I, II III heal well spontaneously w/protective bracing & strengthening of mm's for dynamic support  
🗑
what to expect in healing process of ACL   usually requires surgical interventions for healing  
🗑
after healing, ligament strength is?   tensile strength only 50-70% of normal  
🗑
how long do lig continue to heal   continue to remodel & mature for up to 1 year  
🗑
what should be done to insure good healing, scar formation?   PROM during healing helps insure well organized collagen formation  
🗑
role of scar tissue in lig repair   healing by scar tissue porliferation (not lig regeneration)  
🗑
left untreated, nonsurgical, how long before lig fully healed?   most are not fully healed even at 40 wks aft injury  
🗑
what should PT rehab of ligamentous injuries include/involve?   dec swelling, inc ROM, inc stg, normalize gain, inc aerobic, inc proprioception, pain mngmt  
🗑
nutrients in articular cartilage are in?   synovial fluid ( jt motion required)  
🗑
articular cartilage is avascular/vascular?   avascular, incapable of intrinsic repair  
🗑
superficial injuries....heal well? why?   no, further away from synovial  
🗑
deeper injuries elicit.....   inflammatory response, better healing  
🗑
process of minor tendon strains? (tendonitis)   spontaneous healing, inflammation, repair, remodeling  
🗑
process of major repair for tendon strains (rupture)?   surgical, i.e. Achilles tendon  
🗑
PT rehab of tendon injury   dec swelling, inc ROM, inc stg, normalize gain/function inc aerobic fitness, inc proprioception, pain mngment (same as ligament)  
🗑
effects of immobilization 3 days and 1 wk   greatest amt of mm atrophy occurs w/1 wk, size dec by approx 17% w/in 3 days  
🗑
formation of new bone   callus (cartilagenous tissue), pro callus 6 wks  
🗑
bone healing .....blood's action   into spaces betw bone fragments, clotting w/in 24 hrs  
🗑
effects of immobilization   connective tissue weaking, articular cartilage degeneration, mm atrophy, development of contracture, sluggish circulation, bone atrophy  
🗑
rehab principles during immob stage   isom, AROM to jts below & above, resistive ex to major mm groups, teach use of assistive device  
🗑
rehab PT principles post-immob stage   PROM stretching, AROM PRE's, WB'ing progression (per MD), functional trng  
🗑
types of fixation   cast, ORIF (rods, pins, wires, etc), external fixation traction  
🗑
