Q

Palpations (HOPS)

A
  • have athlete show location (can they use one finger? do they motion to an area with hand?

  • check above and below injury

- muscle
- ligament
- bone

25
Kendall's resisted muscle testing- grade 0
- no visible or palpable contraction
26
Kendall's resisted muscle testing- grade 1
- visible or palpable contraction without motion
27
Kendall's resisted muscle testing- grade 2
- full range of motion, gravity eliminated
28
Kendall's resisted muscle testing- grade 3
- full range of motion against gravity
29
Kendall's resisted muscle testing- grade 4
- full range of motion against gravity, moderate resistance
30
Kendall's resisted muscle testing- grade 5
- full range of motion against gravity, maximal resistance
31
Ligament testing
- testing for level of instability - what motion should that ligament limit?
32
Fracture Test 1: Tap testing
- gentle tap at location on bone away from suspected fracture site - vibration from tapping will elicit pain if there is a fracture
33
Should we do a tap test for a fracture if we see a deformity?
- not necessary
34
Fracture test 2: Compression test
- compress two ends of bone together - elicits pain if there is a fracture
35
Compression test direct technique
- either end of long bone
36
Compression test indirect technique
- compress bones around the smaller bone with suspected fracture (ie. carpals, tarsals)
37
What is an alternative compression test method?
- press on bones more proximally (ie. radius and ulna)
38
Fracture test 3: Tuning fork
- bang the end of the tuning fork off shoe/hard surface - place base of tuning fork on bone with suspected fracture, away from fracture site - resulting vibration may cause pain
39
Are tuning forks accurate?
- high proportion of false positives - value in ruling out a fracture, but not ruling in
40
Sideline assessment
- more detailed than on-field HOPS assessment
41
What is included in sideline assessment?
- rule out joint above and below - full physiological ROM for the joint - 3 special tests to rule out/confirm - more extensive palpation
42
Physiological ROM
- adduction, abduction, flexion, extension etc. - know which movements joints perform to do sideline assessment
43
What are the intra-articular movements required for the physiological ROM to take place? (accessory movement)
- roll - spin - glide
44
Are accessory movement tested in sideline assessments?
- no but would be essential to check in clinical analysis
45
Fundamental arthrokinematics- roll
- multiple points along one rotating articulate surface contact multiple points on another articular surface
46
Roll example
- humeral head rolling on glenoid fossa
47
Fundamental arthrokinematics- glide
- a single point on one articular surface contacts multiple points on another articular surface
48
Glide example
- knee flexion - femur on tibia
49
Fundamental arthrokinematics- spin
- a single point on one articular surface rotates on a single point on another articular surface
50
Spin example
- rotation of the radius on the humerus during forearm pronation and supination
51
What ROM would you do for a sideline assessment?
- active ROM - overpressure the end of range if full and pain-free
52
What must occur for return to play?
- ROM must be full and resisted testing must be 80%
53
Questions to ask during a side line assessment for special tests
- what other structures could be involved? - what other structures need to be ruled out? (ie. ligament, muscle/tendon, bone/joint, nerve)
54
Questions to ask and what to do during a sideline assessment for palpations
- what other structures may be involved? - starts above and below injured structure and work towards it - layers of anatomy - determine the extent of injured structure
55
Impression- what to include in documentation
- severity (ie. degree) - structure - injury - assessment done - treatment provided - plan
56
What to include in plan
1. RTP decision 2. Immediate care 3. Educate 4. Communicate 5. Transport 6. Referral
57
Sideline management for a sprain
- ice and elevation - wrap to support, approximate tissues, provide compression - crutches for weight-being extremities
58
Sideline management for strain
- ice and elevation - wrap for compression - pressure pad over tissue to approximate ends and provide compression - crutches
59
Sideline management for contusions
- ice - donut pad - wrap padding with herringbone technique - no massage
60
Sideline management for fractures
- splint (SAM or speed splint) - need to splint joint above and below - monitor for shock - refer for imaging - ice based on condition and monitor
61
Sideline management for abrasions
- clean wound - telfa/non-stick pad and cover roll
62
Sideline management for minor lacerations
- clean wound - telfa/non-stick pad and cover roll - steri-strips
63
Principles of wrapping
- purpose? - ask yourself which structures am I supporting? - any abrasions/blisters that need to be covered? - sensitivities? - have athlete in comfortable position - cap refill distal to wrapped area
64
What are the different wrapping techniques?
1. Spiral wrap 2. Herring bone/figure 8
65
Spiral wrap
- overlap by half - equal distribution of pressure
66
Herring bone/figure 8
- used over area needing more compression - wrap up the leg, around and back down for X-effect
