16
Q

What is the purpose of nerve mobilizations?

A

Attempt to restore the dynamic balance between the relative movement of neural tissues and surrounding mechanical interfaces, thereby allowing reduced intrinsic pressures on the neural tissue and thus promoting optimum physiological function

17
Q

Can nerve mobilizations be ussed for peripheral nerve entrapments?

A

Yes

18
Q

What are the types of nerve mobilizations?

A
  • Active vs Passive

- “Gliders” vs “Tensioners”

19
Q

What is the mechanism behind nerve mobilizations?

A
  • Thought to decrease adhesions and allow improved movement of peripheral nerves.
  • May increase neural vascularity, allowing increased oxygenation of the nerve and a resultant decrease in ischemic pain.
  • Dispersion of noxious fluids.
  • Improvement of axoplasmic flow.
20
Q

There is ________ evidence when it comes to nerve mobilizations.

A

conflicting

21
Q

OA AND SPRAINS

A

OA AND SPRAINS

22
Q

What can be done to manage OA?

A
  • Inflammatory Management (thermal/cryo)
  • Exercises (gripping/resistive, ROM)
  • Manual Therapy (joint mobs)
  • Joint Protection (splinting, activity modification)
23
Q

Factors to consider with sprains?

A
  • post-op vs conservative
  • inflammatory/pain management (acute)
  • protection of injury site (splinting/casting) - injury and time dependent
  • Pt education
  • progression of PROM/AAROM/AROM/Resistive exercises (consider healing timeframes, communication with MD)
  • progression to stabilization exercises/return to functional activity
24
Q

TENDONOPATHY

A

TENDONOPATHY

25

A
  • NSAIDs
  • resting position and activity modification
  • Protection
  • ECCENTRICS
  • Post-op
26
Q

What are the indications for tendon glides of the hand?

A
  • Prevent adhesion post-op
  • Address adheson with tenosynovitis
  • Maintain/improve ROM
  • Pain relief

  • Joint mobs (including MWM)
  • Soft tissue mobilization
  • ROM/stretching exercises
A
