Q

Injectable chemical into blood vessels near the tendinopathy is what

A

Sclerotherapy

23
Q

Rest is recommended in gluteal tendinopathies, true or false

A

False, not recommended

24
Q

Gluteal tendinopathy protocols

A
  • progressive loading with pain management
  • patient education related to loads on the tendon
  • stretching exercises are not recommended in insertional tendinopathies
25
When do we apply ice or cold packs for gluteal tendinopathy
10 min for first 72 hours
26
For gluteal tendinopathy we should do gentle hip ROM exercises and stretching to prevent stiffness and also take a hip core stabilization program to prevent reoccurance, true or false
True
27
For gluteal tendinopathy, eccentric exercises are recommended, what is the optimal number of sets and repetitions for tendon repair ?
20-30 reps (if no discomfort go for 30) 3 sets of 10 reps
28
For gluteal tendinopathy, eccentric exercises are recommended, what are some example of these exercises ?
- Nordic hamstrings - sidestepping (X-band) - side plank clam - single leg deadlift - bird dog - split squat / lunge
29
What are some key goals in physical therapy of piriformis syndrome ?
- 2-3 sessions per week for the duration of the treatment + home exercise - to increase ROM of surrounding muscle groups and joints - increase strength of muscle groups specifically adductor muscles of the hip
30
Examples of pathologies of joint
- acetabular labral tear - osteoarthritis - osteoitis pubis - femoroacetabular impingement - snapping hip
31
What are causes of acetabular labral tear ?
- bony abnormalities (impingement) - weakened hip muscles - faulty movement mechanics (repetitive activities) - distance running - sports requiring jumping, cutting, twisting, kicking - excessive repetitive stretching (yoga, dance, gymnastics)
32
what are physical therapy methods for acetabular labral tear
- dry needling - extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) - Computer assisted rehab environment (CAREN) - force plate and motion capture analysis - feedback and feed forward retraining - dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) - Exercises
33
Examples of conditions related to groin pain
- osteoitis pubis / athletic pubalgia - adductor tendinopathy - iliopsoas dysfunction
34
examples of non specific exercise related to groin pain
- adductor longus and rectus abdominus - indirectly to transversus abdominus and rectus abdominus sheath
35
what are the anterior pubic insertions
- abdomen - quads - sartorius - iliopsoas - pectineus
36
what are the medial pubic insertions
- the 3 adductor muscles - gracillis - obturator externus
37
what are the posterior pubic insertions
hamstrings and part of the adductor magnus
38
osteitis pubis usually presents itself with
pubic symphysis or proximal adductor pain
39
osteitis pubis pain may involve what areas, adding uncertainty to diagnosis
- lower abdomen - hip -perineal - scrotal
40
a pathological condition leading to abutment between the proximal femur and acetabular rim
femoral acetabular impingement
41
what are the two types of femoral acetabular impingement
pincer lesion and CAM lesion
42
soft tissue abnormality creating excessive coverage of the acetabulum
pincer lesion
43
bony abnormality such as a non spherical femoral head
CAM lesion
44
what causes pincer lesion
repetitive contact of the over covered acetabulum rim and femoral neck with hip flexion or internal rotation which creates impingement
45
what causes CAM lesion
repetitive contact with hip flexion or internal rotation will create impingement due to the abnormal shape of the femoral head
46
what are conservative methods of treatment for osteitis pubis
- rest - physical therapy - ultrasonography - NSAIDS / oral glucocorticoids - shock absorbing footwear (diminishes shear forces across symphysis pubis)
47
to decrease detrimental antagonistic muscle forces at the pubis symphysis we can do
- core stability - strengthening - muscle force balancing at the core
48
what are the two types of snapping hip
lateral and internal
49
what causes lateral snapping hip
muscle fibers rolling across the greater trochanter, clicking feeling is not usually painful
50
what causes internal snapping hip
iliopsoas muscle as it rolls across hip bone, this form is more likely to cause pain
51
how do we treat a snapping hip
- rest - ice consistently - stretch the muscles around the thigh and hip - get a coach to check your technique and form in your sport
52
condition characterized by tingling, numbness, and burning pain in outer thigh caused by the compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve
meralgia paresthetica
53
what are the basic protocols for non operative femoral acetabular impingement
- posture - core stabilization - proximal strengthening - static and dynamic stretching
