- Grade 1 [first degree]: Mild pain; 0-24 hrs; mild swelling, local tenderness, pain when stressed
- Grade 2 [second degree]: Mod pain - must stop the activity; Stress and palpation increases pain; lig injury - some fibers are torn, so some increased joint mobility
- Grade 3 [third degree]: Near complete or complete tear or avulsion of tendon/ligament with severe pain; stress to tissue painless and palpation reveals defect; Torn ligament = jt. instability

- Sub-Acute: Pt education; Manage pain/inflammation; Correct contributing factors; Initiation of active exercises [submaximal isometric, AROM, muscular endurance, protected WB exercises]; Initiation and progression of stretching
- Chronic: Pt education; Progression of exercise [adequate jt play, then progress related to functional needs - more independence]; Progression of stretching; Progression of muscle performance exercise; Return to high-demand activities
- Chronic Recurring: Modalities and rest; PT Education; Initiation of exercise at non-stressful activities; Stabilization exercises; Muscle endurance activities

Oxford:
- 10 reps @ 100% of 10 RM

- Dynamic Exercises - Dynamic Eccentric
38
PNF Techniques
- Rhythmic Initiation: Pt into PROM, let them know what they're working on

39
Decision Making - Pain BEFORE onset of restriction
- Acute condition
- Inflammatory response
- Gentle pain-inhibiting techniques
40
Decision Making - Pain AT onset of restriction
- Subacute condition
- Fibroblastic repair
- Tissue is healing, so caution with gentle stretching
41
Decision Making - Pain AFTER onset of restriction
- Chronic
- Maturation Remodeling
- Stretching of tight capsule or periarticular tissue
- Stretch more aggressively
