Orthopedic Management of knee
Question | Answer |
---|---|
non surgical rehab, focus on what mm's? | hamstring strengthening. dynamic stabilizer, resister of anterior translation |
ACL rehab....what exercise is a NO? | no open chain knee extension, running, jumping |
concentrate on what mm group for ACL reconstruction? | Quads |
exercise for max phase ACL reconstruct | isom co-contration of quads & hamstrings, NO OKC KNEE EXTENSION w/ or w/o wts |
where is the least stress on ACL? | knee flexed to 60 deg |
what is an important part of early ACL rehab? | OKC hamstring stengthening, hamstrings work as a dynamic stabilizer and limit anterior tibial shearing forces |
exercise during MAX ACL reconstuct? | hip & tricep surae strengthening. (soleus, gastroc, plantaris) |
Dynamic stabilizer of the ACL/Knee? | quads (atrophy begins < 48 hrs) |
tissue from body for auto graph ACL? | bone-patella-bone, gracilis tendon, semitendinosous |
When can you start OKC knee ext for ACL reconstruction? | 1-2 months |
important to get _____firing early. | quads |
Max phase ACL | early ROM!!,PROPRIOCEPTION EARLY ON! knee flex, PROM into flexion & ext, AROM 35 deg > end range flexion, early WB as tolerated, inflam/edema control |
what can you do for ROM max phase ACL? | low load, long duration |
Mod phase ACL | CKC, proprioceptive, cardio (not running), hamstring stg |
what mm's important to stg for ACL in surgical repair? | Quads - act to control (hamstrings stabilize) |
criteria to advance to Mod prot ACL reconstruction? | ROM 0-120, normal gait, quad & hamstring control, controlled pain & swelling, at least 6 weeks (no sooner) |
Mod phase ACL reconstr | all Max phase, polycentric, may use brace, CKC emphasizing QUADS |
criteria to move to MIN phase ACL reconst | full ROM, normal gait, good quad and hamstring stg, at least 12 wks, |
MIN prot phase, ACL reconst | Pt ed on why to hold back on advancing....graft still 50%. more adv proprioceptive, mini-trampoline, balance board, slide board, staight line jogging if they have > 80% quad & ham stg, leg press, advanced CKC, functional |
ACL reconstruct return to contact sports? | 9-12 mo |
dynamic stabilizer of PCL non-op rehab | QUADS |
No ____________ exercise first few weeks for PCL non-op | OKC hamstrings |
MAX phase PCL reconstruct (0-12 wks) | WB'ing/NWB according to dr's orders, ROM may be limited to 50-60 deg flexion several wks (20-70 commonly), pain & swelling control, patellar mobs, quad isom |
when do you want full ROM PCL reconstruct? | 2-3 months |
MOD phase PCL reconstruct (13-24 wks) | CKC exercises, control forces, protect graph, stimulate collagen fiber, promote revascularization, obtain normal ROM & stg |
MIN phase PCL reconstruct (25-36 wks) | same as ACL (isok, proprioceptvie), return to premorbid functional level, may need to continue wearing de-rotation brace if pt is athlete |
what is the most common injury in the knee? | MCL |
MCL injured by? | valgus force |
unhappy triad | MCL, ACL, medial meniscus |
usually repaired surgically or non? | non for all grades |
most important for rehab | RO |
what is the stabilizer for MCL? | gracilis |
Max prot MCL non-surgical (3 days aft injury) | early ROM, early WBing as tolerated w/knee immobilizer or hinged brace locked at 0 degrees, isom, quad sets, SLR, ankle pumps, seated assisted knee flex, supine wall slides |
avoid.........during MCL non-surg max phase | avoid rotational stresses, valgus forces |
MOD phase MCL non-surgical rehab (10 days aft injury) | wall slides, wall squats, SLR w/wts |
MIN phase MCL non-surg rehab (3 wks aft injury) | leg press, step ups w/wts, adductor w/theraband (gracilis) |
stabilizer for LCL | IT band |
Tx for LCL similar or different from MCL? | similar, protect against varus force |
function of menisci | stability, shock absorption, load transmission, nutition, lubrication, control of motion |
medial meniscus is what shape? | half circle, larger than lateral |
lateral meniscus is what shape? | 80% of a circle |
sx of meniscus lesion | giving way feeling, may lack extension (-20 degrees), joint line pain |
contraindication for meniscus rehab | do not force into extension, do not do low load, long duration |
how long NWB for meniscus repair? | NWB 4-6 wks, needs to heel |
limit ROM to ________ for how many wks for meniscus repair rehab? | 0-100, 4-6 wks |
exercises for the first 3-4 wks meniscus repair rehab | isom |
what exercises 4-8 wks for meniscus repair rehab | OKC |
when can you start CKC for meniscus repair rehab | after 8 wks |
what ex is contraindicated 3-6 months for meniscus repair rehab? | NO FULL SQUATS |
meniscectomy rehab is similar to? | simple knee rehab progression |
meniscectomy rehab pt ed | limit stairs, squatting, repetitive vertical compression loads |
patellar compression forces raise sharply after ______ knee flextion | 30 |
______ x's body weight w/stair climing | 3 |
____ x's body weight w/squats & deep knee bending | 8 |
MOST PATTELLAR COMPRESSION FORCES OCCUR _____________ | 60-90 deg |
what exercises to avoid to avoid patellar compression forces? | full squats |
why are SAQ a good choice for patella rehab | 0-30 deg don't have a lot of compression forces |
stability structures of the patella | quadriceps tendon, patella tendon, medial & lateral retinaculum, IT band |
CAUSES OF PATELLOFEMORAL SYNDROME | tight lateral retinaculum, weak VMO, Hypoextensible quads &/or hamstrings & IT band, pes planus, poor mechanics (groove too shallow), significant Q-angle |
PATELLA TRACKING LATERALLY, pt c/o of medial pain DUE TO.....? | the pull on the medial retinaculum (usually due to hypoextensible surfaces) |
signs & sx of PF syndrome | painful descending steps, post sitting w/knees bent, sitting w/10-30 deg of flexion |
quad activating test for PF syndrome | block superior movement w/quad contraction, knee at 30 deg, poor sensitivity (false positive) |
tx for PF syndrome - exercise | VMO stg (e-stim) SAG 0-30, SLR, quad sets, mini squats w/ball, step ups, prevent exercise over 30 deg of knee flex |
what is the function of the VMO? | to realign the patellar during extension |
higher angle of flexion causes highter______ | compression forces |
tx for PF syndrome | QUAD STRETCH! brace or McConnell taping, patellar mobs (teach pt) - medial |
PF syndrome - what ex to avoid? | deep squats, prevent patella loading, no ex past 30 deg of flex |
PFS surgical interventions | (1) proximal realignment - lateral release & VMO advancement, (2) distal re-alignment - elev &/or shift tibial tubercle to improve mechanical advantage of quads (3) articular cartilage shaving (4) abrasion chondroplasty |
