Question | Answer |
---|---|
evaluation and treatment model based on specific impairment, functional loss, and attainable quality of life rather than a medical diagnosis | disablement model |
loss of abnormality or anatomical, physiological, mental or psychological structure or function (ex: loss of ROM) | impairment |
restriction of the ability to perform at the level of the whole person, a physical action, task or activity, in an efficient, typically expected or competent manner | functional limitation |
functional limitation is commonly quantified by | self-report scoring forms |
the inability to perform actions, tasks, and activities usually expected in specific social roles that are customary for the individual or expected for the person's status or rule in a specific socio-cultural context and physical environment | disability |
6 elements of patient management | examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, intervention, outcomes |
examination includes | history, systems review, testing, determining if they are right for PT (have primary musculoskeletal problem) |
evaluation description | PT makes clinical judgements based on data gathered from the examination |
diagnosis description | end result of evaluating examination data |
expected level of improvement to be attained with intervention and the amount of time required to reach that level | prognosis |
______ details interventions to be used as well as expected frequency and duration of care | plan of care |
purposeful and skilled interaction of the PT with the patient using various methods and techniques to produce a change in condition | intervention |
results of management of the case | outcomes |
common reasons for error | assumptions, too few hypothesis, not sampling enough info, assuming only one association between regions |
in what part is clinical alliance gained | subjective exam |
traumatic onset | defining moment |
insidious onset | doesn't have specific moment/ can't recall when it started |
referred pain | when you feel pain in a location but it's not coming from that location |
dermatome | pattern of sensation from a specific nerve root |
myotome | motor, pattern of weakness associated with a specific nerve root |
conditions favoring referred pain | strength of stimulus (the more inflamed, the greater the stimulus), position of structure (proximal refer more than distal), depth (deeper structures are more difficult to localize), nature of structure |
features of referred pain | usually segmental, doesn't cross mid-line, reference occurs distal, lesion not necessarily in painful area, pain can be felt anywhere in dermatome |
suspect referred pain when patient complains of | deep burning / aching along limb , pain from posterior to anterior trunk , deep pain with large, poorly defined boundaries, if painful area has no physical signs |
screening for medical disease cardiovascular system | heart trouble, sweating associated with pain, palpitations, smoker, HBP, high cholesterol, SOB, orthopnea, swelling, rheumatic fever, family history, do your symptoms change when going up a flight of stairs |
screening for medical disease GI system | difficulty swallowing, nausea, heartburn, vomiting, specific food intolerance, constipation, stool color change, do your symptoms change when you've eaten food/hungry |
SINSS | severity, irritability, nature, stability, stage |
severity | helps to determine how vigorous exam will be. how bad is the pain. what is the impact on function |
irritability | how much to provoke the pain, how long to ease |
nature | pathology- musculoskeletal, nociceptive, psychosocial |
stage | acute, sub-acute, chronic |
stability | present state- worsening, static, or improving |
yellow flags are factors that increase risk of | developing long term disability and work loss, higher likelihood of chronic pain |
yellow flags | high fear levels, catastrophizing pain, central sensitization |
5 x 5 scheme of Frisch inspection / observation | ADL, posture, shape, skin, aids |
5 x 5 scheme of Frisch functional exam | active, passive, resisted, traction/compression, gliding |
5 x 5 scheme of Frisch palpation | skin and subcutaneous tissue, muscle and tendon, tendon sheaths and bursae, joints, nerves and blood vessels |
5 x 5 scheme of Frisch neurological tests | nerve trunk, reflexes and key muscles, sensory, motor (central and peripheral paralysis), coordination |
5 x 5 scheme of Frisch additional tests | radiology, lab tests, electro diagnosis, punctures, other (referral to other specialists) |
contractile | muscle, tendon junction, tendon |
non contractile | bone, nerve, blood vessels, bursae, CT |
active motion stresses | contractile AND non contractile |
info gained from active motion | ability and willingness to move, absence of a painful arc |
passive motion stresses | non contractile (sometimes antagonist contractile tissue) |
info gained from passive motion | sequence of pain to resistance, end feel |
types of ROM | limited, full, excessive |
capsular ROM | progressive pattern of loss of motion, in synovial joints, typically arthritis is involved |
things that limit movement | weakness, tightness, pain, joint restriction |
early stage of capsular ROM limited by | muscle guard / spasm |
later stage of scapular ROM limited by | connective tissue |
capsular pattern for knee | loss of knee FLEXION before knee extension |
if pain before resistance | acute |
if pain synchronous with resistance | sub-acute |
if pain after resistance | late stage inflammation |
sensation imparted to examiner's hand when the extreme of possible range is reached | end feel |
6 types of end feel | bone to bone, soft tissue approximation, capsular, muscular, springly, |
bone to bond | hard end feel, elbow extension is an example |
soft tissue approximation example | elbow flexion |
capsular end feel | leathery, little give but not much |
3 variations of muscular end feel | muscular insufficiency, slow guard, fast guard |
muscular insufficiency | hitting a tight muscle |
slow guard | resistance secondary to a muscle contraction, patient is protecting muscle |
fast guard | even more abrupt stop of motion, very acute, muscle is highly aggravated |
2 abnormal end feels | springy and empty |
springy | bounce (ex: meniscus torn) |
empty | don't get an end feel, either bc joint itself is too acute or patient is highly afraid |
resisted tests are designed to | selectively place tension on contractile tissues |
isometric contraction happens in | midrange |
if resisted test finding is strong and painless | contractile and nerve are okay |
if resisted test finding is strong and painful, | contractile INVOLVED, nerve okay |
if resisted test finding is weak and painless | contractile possibly involved, nerve is LIKELY involved |
if resisted test finding is weak and painful | contractile LIKELY involved, nerve possibly involved |
if if resisted test finding is all painful | acute or psychogenic |
separation of joint surfaces | traction |
approximation of joint surfaces | compression |
both traction and compression are _____ to treatment plane | perpendicular |
limited range in traction means | contracture |
excessive range in traction means | hyper mobility |
increase pain in traction means | possible tear of CT |
decreased pain in traction means | possible joint surface damage (patients w/OA like traction bc it relieves pressure ) |
if increase in pain in compression, means | possible joint surface damage |
if decrease pain in compression, | means it eases connective tissue tension |
for gliding, passive movements are _____ to treatment plane | parallel |
limited range in gliding means | CT contracture |
excessive range in gliding means | damaged CT |
hypomobility- okay to mobilize? | yes |
hypermobility- okay to mobilize? | contraindication |
common sources of error with mobilization | condition is too acute, minor, more than 1 lesion present, psychogenic component of pain, human error |
