25
What activities/motions can cause patellar tendinitis or tendinosis
running, jumping, overuse, eccentric activities
26
If a patient has patellar tendinitis or tendinosis, what landmarks might be irritated
inferior patella tibial insertion superior patella the tendon in mid-stance
27
If a patient has patellar tendinitis or tendinosis, what motions would be painful
AROM and resisted knee extension
28
What would PT management for patellar tendinitis or tendinosis look like
modalities for pain/inflammation, activity modification, cho-pat straps, cross friction massage, gentle stretching, eccentrics when there is no pain and progress into plyometrics
29
If a PT were to perform cross friction massage, how long should the massage be performed in order to stimulate the inflammatory phase
20 minutes
30
Tendons need (concentric/isometric/eccentric) contractions to heal properly
eccentric
31
Treating patellar tendinitis or tendinosis with injections can be (helpful/harmful). _______ medications are (better/worse).
harmful, anti-inflammatory meds are better
32
How would a patient acquire hamstring tendinitis
eccentric deceleration with running
33
Hamstring tendinitis has a similar history as _____ tendinitis and so it is treated the same way
patellar
34
What is the difference between a contusion and a strain
A contusion is a result of a direct blow and a strain occurs via indirect trauma like a pulled muscle
35
What secondary medical condition can contusion lead to if its not taken care of properly
Compartment syndrome or myositis ossificans
36
what is a quad contusion
a direct trauma to the quadriceps
37
If your patient presents with swelling, a palpable hematoma, and a warm quadricep what would be your initial hypothesis
quad contusion
38
If a patient presents with a quad contusion, which motions are going to be painful
AROM and PROM knee flexion as well as resistive knee extension
39
A patient with a quad contusion will have painful knee flexion. List the degrees that will cause mild, moderate, and severe pain
greater than 90 results in mild pain 45-90 results in moderate pain less than 45 results in severe pain
40
What does the PT management for a quad contusion look like
Lots of ice, e-stim, sometimes crutches, gentle stretching after 24 hours, vigorous stretching after 7-10 days, strengthening when 120 degrees of flexion is pain free
41
What term means inflammation of muscle leading to bone formation
myositis ossificans
42
What percentage of quad contusions end up with myositis ossificans
9-20%
43
What causes myositis ossificans
cellular responses while a muscle, like the quad, is bleeding
44
What is a common site for myositis ossifications in football players
the gastroc or the deltoid
45
What are the risk factors for myositis ossificans
previous quad contusion delayed treatment for quad contusion more than 72 hours knee effusion injury sustained in a contact sport
46
What are the three main treatment goals of myositis ossificans
1. Limit swelling and bleeding which will 2. Minimize scar formation 3. Preserve elasticity, contractility, and strength of the injured and uninjured tissue
47
Which knee soft tissue pathology results from friction between the IT band and lateral femoral condyle during repetitive knee flexion/extension activities
Iliotibial band syndrome
48
You are seeing a patient with knee pain. Upon examination you find that the patient has experiences popping, pain over the lateral knee and condyle, and has just increased her workouts to involve hill running. What is your initial hypothesis
IT band syndrome
49
What are some contributing factors that may play a role in acquiring iliotibial band syndrome
tibial varum, genu varum, overtraining, running downhill or on uneven surfaces, and high or low arches,
50
If a patient has IT band syndrome, what would you find during an examination
Painful AROM knee flexion Tender lateral condyle with palpation Positive Noble compression test Positive Ober test and weak gluteus medius
51
What does PT management for IT band syndrome look like
Correct imbalances and mechanics, strengthen weak hips, patellar mobs, iontophoresis, NSAID
52
How do hamstring strains happen
With an eccentric load to the muscle
53
Untreated hamstring strains can create adverse ____ ____ that will lead to further injury
neural tension
54
Are static or ballistic warm ups better for the body and why
Ballistic is better because static decreases blood flow in a tissue which is bad
55
Which types of athletes usually acquire hamstring strains
runners or baseball players reaching for first base
56
What is the MOI of a hamstring strain
quick, explosive contraction usually eccentrically
57
What are some contributing factors that might lead to a hamstring strain
muscle imbalances, fatigue, gait, leg length, ROM, muscle innervations
58
If a patient has a hamstring strain, what would a PT find upon inspection
possible defect, swelling, ecchymosis
59
If a patient has a hamstring strain, what motions would be painful
AROM and resistive knee flexion PROM for knee extension Palpation of the muscle belly/tendon
60
If a patient has a hamstring strain, which nerve might have neurodynamic abnormalities
tibial nerve unless its way up high then sciatic nerve
61
What is the rehab progression of a hamstring strain
re-establish normal gait RICE Gentle AROM to light stretching Isometrics to PRE's to eccentrics
62
A hamstring strain of grade (1/2/3) may result in no lost time
1
63
A hamstring strain of grade (1/2/3) may result in 5-12 days of no participation
2
64
A hamstring strain of grade (1/2/3) may result of 3-12 weeks of no participation
