27
Q

MTSS

A

MEDIAL TIBIAL STRESS SYNDROM
- Insidious onset
- exercise-induced lower leg pain
- distal posteromedial tibial border
- pain extends more than 5cm

28
Q

What should you watch out for in MTSS indicating compartment syndromes

A
  • Cramping, burning, pressure
  • Neurological Symptoms (pins and needles, numbness)
  • Signs or symptoms of vascular disfunction (discoloration, bad capillary refill)
  • increased pressure in compartment affects blood and nerve supply to that compartment
29
Q

What are the two competing MTSS hypotheses

A

Periostitis
- Stemming from local soft tissue tensile loading
Bone Stress
- Response related to impact loading and bony integrity

30
Q

Periostitis

A

Flexor digitorum longus and soleus attaches where MTSS pain originates. At this point the deep crural fascia is pulled on creating a tensile load leading to pain
- Functions such as plantar flexion, eccentric load during dorsiflexion, toe flexion, supination and pronation

31
Q

Bone stress MTSS hypothesis

A

Loading on bone causes posterior bending which compresses the tibial cortex causing pain

32
Q

Bone density in athletes with MTSS

A

23% lower than matched athletes
- May normalize as symptoms improve

33
Q

Physiology of bone stress injury

A
  • Remodeling by osteoblasts and osteoclasts
  • Edema, structural fatigue and microfracture possible
34
Q

Achilles Tendinopathy

A
  • caused by repetitive impact (jumping or running sports)
  • insidious onset
  • thickened, swollen paratenon
  • morning stiffness
35
Q

Why is achilles vulnerable

A
  • Twisting structure of the tendon
  • Region of hypovascularity (slow healing)
  • High tensile loading (up to 10x body weight
36
Q

Reactive tendinopathy

A
  • Acute
  • Proteoglycans (hyperexcited state) and bound water - not truely inflammatory
37
Q

Tendon disrepair and degeneration

A

Chronic (tendinosis)
- CAS and stiffness

38
Q

Windlass test in WB

A

Used to asses MTSS or Turf Toe

  • Used for high ankle sprain, 2nd and 3rd degree ankle sprain, turf toe, fracture
  • Allows role through gait
43
Q

Plantar fasciopathy treatment

A

Night sock that prevents morning stiffness of fascia (Strasberg)

44
Q

Alfredson Eccentric Heal Drop Protocol

A
  • Used for Achilles tendinopathy
  • Eccentric load to whatever you can tolerate
  • 3 x15 2 times a day
  • 180 heel drops per day
  • maybe don’t need to do that many
45
Q

Preventative measures to injuries when starting running

A
  • Change the training surface
  • Reduce training speed, duration, frequency
  • increase volume of rest
  • try graded running program
46
Q

MOI components of a knee injury

A
  • Contact or non-contact activities
  • hyperflexion or hyperextension
  • rotational stress
  • valgus collapse
  • trunk control
  • foot and ankle
47
Q

How does swelling rate indicate injury in knee

A

Slow swell - meniscus (increased synovial fluid acting like a splint 24 hours)
Fast swell - ACL, PCL (hemarthrosis ligament damage with blood supply, 1-4 hours)
No affusion - MCL

48
Q

Whip test

A
  • Allows you small amounts of synovial fluid
  • palm sweeps up medial side of leg and then sweeps down lateral side
49
Q

ACL injury risk in female and male athletes

A
  • 1 in 29 female
  • 1 in 50 male
    RR= 1.5
50
Q

Risk of injury based on family history and primary ACL injury

A

RR= 2.53

51
Q

Patellar tendinopathy

A
  • Pain on apex of patella
  • Absorbs eccentric energy
  • Tendon heals slowly
52
Q

Anterior knee pain

A
  • 20 to 30% of the population
  • Extension and energy absorption aggravate it
  • Crepitus sound/sensation
  • knee buckle due t decrease quad reflex activity
53
Q

Patellofemoral Pain syndrome

A
  • Pain distribution: deep under patella, margins of patella, mostly lateral side
  • Caused by compression and shear beyond tolerance
  • possible explanations include patellar mal-alignment or training overload
  • quad pulls patella laterally and lateral condyle sticks out more increasing shear force (especially in valgus position)
  • deep squat increases compression
54
Q

What percent of athletes have patellar tendinopathy

A

18%
- more in court sports

55
Q

60
Q

What is the name of the special test for LCL

A

Varus stress test

61

  • Address asymmetry in limb mechanics
  • Increased knee flexion and avoid full extension
  • improved trunk contol
67
Q

Patellar tendon strap

A
  • may reduce pain on single leg squat
  • pressure on painful part of tendon
  • pressure changes direction of force
68
Q

A
  • Can reduce pain for some athletes
  • addresses laterally located patella
  • may impact position to reduce pain
69
Q
