osteoarthritis is..
Errosion of articular cartilage (mechanical breakdown)
what is the mechanism destruction of joint of OA
initiated by mechanical forces
initiating factor in primary osteoarthritis is…
unkownn
Secondary OA may arise in a variety of situations, including
after trauma, inflammatory joint diseases, and in metabolic disorders or endocrine disorders
OA pathology fact
considered a non inflammatory arthropathy
Clinical manifistation of osteoathritis
40 years old (age of onset)
cervical and lumbar spine 1st cmc pip’s dip’s hip knee, subtalar joint, and first mtp more affected (b/c lots of movemement)
common symptom of OA
gelling (morning stiffness)
herbedens nodeds
DIP joints
bouchards nodes
PIP joints
osteoarthritis pathology
Nonsystemic, mostly noninflammatory, localized pathology
rheumatoid arthritis pathology
Systemic, inflammatory disease that usually involves multiple joints and often affects organ systems.
rotator cuff injury is what occuring?
The function of the rotator cuff is essentially to keep the head of the humerus in close contract with the glenoid.
if going back into sports how long is the rehab for a rotator cuff injury
3-6 months
rotator cuff injury is diagnosed through…
mri or muscle involved
SLAP tears stands for
Superior Labrum-Anterior and Posterior (to the biceps tendon).
slap tears do not…
heal by themselves
bankart lesions do not…
heal on their own and require surgical repair
what is a bankart lesion?
A Bankart lesion is when the labrum becomes detached from the front of the glenoid socket.
causes for IT band
- Weak abductors or core muscles
- Increase mileage or terrain in running or new to running
- Over-Pronation of the foot
- High or low arches
- Leg length dicrepancy
- Genu varum “Bow-legs”
where is IT band pain felt?
The pain is usually felt in the distal end of the IT Band
IT band treatment
Strengthen hip abductors
Stretch lateral hip rotators and ITB
Strengthen core muscles
Have PT check leg length and foot biomechanics
Reduce mileage or switch to swimming.
ITB strap?
Ultrasound and IFC may help in acute phase
3 possible causes for shin splints
- Anterior or posterior tibialis muscle tendinitis
- Stress fractures of tibia
- Compartment syndrome
most common types for shin splints: Anterior Shin Splints
Tibialis Anterior Muscle becomes inflamed. Usually this is due to forceful “slapping” of the feet in a new runner. The eccentric forces tear the muscles. Over-pronation can also be a cause. This pain is felt in the front within the TA muscle belly
most common types for shin splints: Posterior Shin Splints
The muscles most affected in this type of pain are the Soleus and the Tibialis Posterior. If the foot is in a proper alignment to the leg, these muscles function efficiently and pain-free. This condition usually results from over-pronation or wearing shoes that have lost their ability to control for over-pronation.
