When gathering history on the knee what are the four main things you want to take note of? WB status, sounds or sensations, onset of injury, previous injury
When doing girth measurments where should it start? Joint line and superiorally in 2-3 inch increments.
During girth measurment at the joint line what should be noticed? presenc of swelling
When moving up the knee during girth measurments what should be noticed? presence of muscle atrophy
Girth measurments should always be what? compared bilaterally
What are the five things that should be taken note of when doing your inspection on the anterior structures? 1. Alignment of the patella 2. Patellar Tendon 3. Quad muscle group 4. Alignment of Femur on the Tibia 5. Tibial tuburosity
What should be looked at when inspecting the alignment of the patella? Resting normally above femoral trochlea/ Evenly alligned with med/lat asepects of knee
What should be looked at when inspecting the Patellar tendon? swelling over tendon due to tendonitis or bursitis/swelling on both sides of tendon due to inflamed fat pad
What should be looked at when inspecting the quad muscle group? mass and tone/ discoloration/ swelling/ loss of continuity
What should be looked at when inspecting the aligment of the femur on the tibia? angle of articulation ie: genu valgum, genu varum
