Question
Answer
Purpose of evalto determine   what injury ath has, severity of the injury and or the priority of the injury, appropriate course of treatment  
🗑
Principles of injury eval   test uninvolved side 1st to get a baseline, increase pt confidence, decrease pt apprehension, apply over pressure with care, w/ PROM & ligamentous testing both degree & quatlity, w/ ligament testing repeat increasin stress, myotome testing hold for 5 sec  
🗑
importance of non injured side   provides immediate ref to relative dysfunction, used to demonstrate mechanism of injury, provide regerence of symmetry of bone, tissue, tissue color/temp, swelling/inflammation, ROM, strength, ligamentous laxity, neurovascular tests  
🗑
Primary survey   ABCD Airway-chin tilt/jaw thrust Breathing-look listen feel Circulation-carotid pulse Disability-wiggle fingers/toes, flex/ext arm, move foot  
🗑
Secondary survey   (head to toe exam) vital signs:level of consciousness, pulse respiration, BP, skin color/temp, ability to move, pupil reflexes, reaction to pain  
🗑
Localized Swelling   superficial structures, bursitis, contusions, strains, sprains  
🗑
diffuse swelling   severe hematoma, dislocation, fractures  
🗑
intramuscular swelling   swelling within a muscle  
🗑
intermuscular swelling   swelling between the muscles  
🗑
immediate swelling within 2 hrs   severe injury, hemarthosis or damage to a structure with a rich blood supply,  
🗑
delayed swelling 6-24 hrs   synovial irritation, bone chips, capsular/ligament sprain  
🗑
delayed swelling post activity only   busitis, chronic synovial irritation  
🗑
Normal end feels   bone on bone-hard unyeilding painless soft-tissue approximation-yeilding compression that stops further movement tissue stretching-hard, firm, or springy w/ a slight give/elastic resistance  
🗑
Abnormal end feels   muscle spasm, capsular, bone to bone, empty spring block  
🗑
muscle spasm abnormal end feel   sudden & hard, sudden, dramatic stoppage of movment accompanied by pain  
🗑
Capsular   decrease ROM  
🗑
Bone to Bone   restriction occurs before the normal end ROM  
🗑
Empty   movement is impossible due to pain  
🗑
Spring block   similar to tissue streatch. rebound effect, decreased ROM  
🗑
Stress Tests   evaluates the structural integrity of ligament & joint capsules, determines the amount of laxity in a specific ligament and/or the amount of instability in a specific joint  
🗑
Special Test   specific procedure applied to a body part to determine the amount of damage done (ie fracture tests, muscle-tendon function tests. etc)  
🗑
Loose packed position   position of joing in ROM wher ejoint under least amount of stress & joint capsule has greatest capacity-pos of minimal congruency btween articular surfaces & joint capsule- ligaments are in greatest pos. of laxity  
🗑
Resting position of Hip   30* of flex, 30* of abduction, slight ER  
🗑
Resting position of knee   25 degrees of flex  
🗑
Resting position of patella femoral   full flex  
🗑
Distal Tib-fib   PF 10*, 5* of inversion  
🗑
Talocural   PF 10*, midway between inv/ev  
🗑
Subtalar   Pf 10* midway between inv/ev  
🗑
Closed Packed Position   avoid as much as poss during assessment, 2 joint surfaces fully congruent &compressed, ligament and joint capsule completely taut, joint surfaces cant b serperated w/ distraction, if injured p! increases when reaching this position. w/ swelling cant reach  
🗑
Closed packed position of hip   Lig-full ext, abduction, IR Boney- flexed 90*, slight abduction, ER  
🗑
Closed packed position of knee   full flex and ER  
🗑
Closed packed position of patella femoral   full ext  
🗑
closed packed distal tib-fib   none  
🗑
Closed packed talocural   full dorsiflexion  
🗑
closed packed of subtalar   full inversion/supination  
🗑
