  • jumping or landing task
  • degenerative & mechanical factors increase risk
  • use of quinolone antibiotics & pre injury steroid injections in the tendon increase risk

  • conservative care for older or more sedentary individuals
22
Q

Post operative management for an Achilles tendon repair

Study These Flashcards
A
  • no more than 2 weeks of protected WBing
  • use of protective device for 2-4 weeks post-op
  • avoid early end range AROM DF
  • outcome measures: foot & ankle ability measure (FAAM) and achilles tendon total rupture score (ATRS)
23
Q

Weight bearing guidelines post-op Achilles tendon repair

Study These Flashcards
A
  • WBAT w/crutches immediately after surgery or after 1-2 wks in a CAM boot
  • progress gradually to full WBing status between weeks 3-6 post-op
  • orthosis is worn during all WBing activities for 6-8 wks after surgery
  • FBW w/o orthosis using shoes w/bilateral heel lifts can begin around 6-8 wks post-op (remove 1 heel lift every 1-2 wks)
24
Q

ROM guidelines post-op Achilles tendon repair

Study These Flashcards
A
  • AROM immediately or within first 1-2 wks post-op (avoid 15-20 degrees of DF)
  • Wks 4-6: with orthosis removed begin INV/EV with ankle in PF
  • Wks 6-8: progress to DF beyond neutral up to 10 degrees with orthosis & progress INV/EV
25
Criteria to discontinue CAM boot
- 0 degrees DF AROM - pain free ambulation (non-antalgic) - full discontinue of boot & shoe lifts by wk 8
26
Max protection phase post-op to 2 wks for Achilles tendon repair
- Precautions: maintain post-op splint or cast per surgeon - joint mobilizations - initiate PROM if patient is in removable splint - PF as tolerated - DF to minimal stretch (DO NOT stretch aggressively) - initiate foot intrinsic exercises - toe taps, arch doming, toe spreading, towel crunches - ankle AROM/alphabets - SLR 4-way - all exercises should be pain free
27
Transition to moderate protection phase post-op Achilles tendon repair
- wks 2-6 - initiate pain free AROM PF, INV, EV, and continue PROM - initiate weight shifts out of boot wk 4 as tolerated - seated heal raises - BAPS board seated as tolerated - recumbent bike with CAM boot - glute & lumbopelvic strength & stability
28
Exercises to initiate at 4 wks post-op Achilles tendon repair
- progressive resisted PF, INV, and EV with TheraBand - seated heel raises with lightweight - balance/proprioceptive training on stable surface once able to WB in neutral ankle position out of boot - standing BAPS board as tolerated (PWB or FWB) - light weight double leg press
29
Strength phase post-op Achilles tendon repair
- wks 6-12 - full PROM/AROM PF, INV, and EV - joint mobilizations - balance training on unstable surface - closed chain hip & knee strengthening - recumbent bike in shoe - Wk 8: standing heel raise progression as able & double leg starting in neutral ankle DF - Wk 10: step holds with focus on LE alignment & balance & heel taps
30
Minimum protection phase post-op Achilles tendon repair
- begins about wks 12-16 - heel lowering exercises in unilateral stance - descending stairs step over step - plyometric training started in pool - functional criteria dictates return on over ground plyometrics & running programs
31
Functional phase post-op Achilles tendon repair
- emphasize strengthening at end range plantarflexion - heels raises in knee flexion - continued progression of strength/stability/balance exercise on stable/unstable surfaces to correct altered mechanics - initiate plyometric progression - step/hop holds for training on LE landing mechanics for jogging - resisted jogging in place with resistance in all planes - sports specific exercise/agility progression
32
Criteria to initiate return to running/jumping post-op Achilles tendon repair
- btw wks 12-16 - 95% symmetry ROM - 95% symmetry calf circumference - normalized gait & jogging mechanics - 25 single leg heel raises with heel height within 25% of uninvolved limb
33
Criteria for return to sport post-op Achilles tendon repair
- b/w 6-9 months - physician clearance - 95% symmetry ROM - normalized gait & jogging mechanics - < or equal to 10% PF strength difference in 0 degrees DF and < or equal to 25% PF strength difference in 20 degrees PF - 90% symmetry on Y-balance test - 90% symmetry on SL hop testing
34
Intrinsic versus extrinsic factors for ankle sprain
- Intrinsic: previous sprain & decreased DF ROM - Extrinsic: athletic participation without bracing, poor warmup, poor participation in balance.proprioceptive training
35
Max protection phase for Anke sprain
- Estim and US have no benefit - ice to control swelling for first 24-48 hrs - provide brace, walking boot, semi-rigid orthotic to facilitate progressive WBing - joint mobs - sagittal plane AROM - muscle setting and toe curls for muscle integrity & circulation
36
Controlled motion phase for ankle sprain
- continued bracing/support - normalize gait - cross friction massage - joint mobs - progress resistance training but avoid end range - stretch gastroc-soleus complex - progress to single limb balance training
37
Return to function phase for ankle sprain
- TheraBand resistance ankle exercises in open chain - neuromuscular reduction training in full weight bearing - dynamic gait patterns - balance training on unstable surfaces - plyometrics
38
Plantar Fasciitis
- inflammation of the plantar fascia - pain on bottom of foot usually towards heel - overuse injury
39
Intrinsic versus extrinsic factors for plantar Fasciitis
- Intrinsic: obesity, reduced strength in PF, reduced ROM in DF, & foot/LE structural abnormalities - Extrinsic: new excessive amounts of exercise, improper footwear, & training on surfaces with no cushion
40
Symptoms of plantar Fasciitis
- plantar medial heel pain - sharp or aching pain in arch at rest or during WBing - excessive pronation - delayed supination - limited DF - pain with first steps in morning/after rest
41
Special tests for Plantar Fasciitis
- Windlass test (patient seated with knee bent to 90 degrees, lift great toe MTP while allowing IP to flex; pos. = pain & limited ROM) - palpation of the plantar medial tubercle = pain
42
Interventions for Plantar Fasciitis
- STM during acute phase - Stretch gastroc-soleus complex & plantar fascia - strengthen intrinsic foot muscles, posterior leg, & neuro reeducation - educate patient on footwear & orthotics - antipronation taping PRN
43
Acute phase for Planatr Fasciitis
- 1-2 wks - stretch gastroc, soleus, & plantar fascia - STM on gastroc-soleus complex - antipronation taping - education on medial longitudinal arch & cushion the heel orthotics & footwear - ice: rolling foot over frozen water bottle
44
Subacute phase for Plantar Fasciitis
- wks 3-5 - stretch gastroc, soleus, & plantar fascia - strengthen intrinsic muscles, the ankle in all ROMs, & the gastroc-soleus complex - ice: roll foot over a frozen water bottle
45
Subacute phase for Plantar Fasciitis
- wks 3-5 - stretch gastroc, soleus, & plantar fascia - strengthen intrinsic muscles, the ankle in all ROMs, & the gastroc-soleus complex - ice: roll foot over a frozen water bottle

Return to function for Planatr Fasciitis
- wks 6+ - stretch gastroc, soleus, & plantar fascia - strengthen calf muscles, intrinsics, & all ankle ROMs - plyometrics - ice: roll foot over frozen water bottle
