Name the common patellar discrepancies. What condition is often associated with patellar discrepancies
What is patella alta/baja/squinting/frog-eyed, patellar glide/tilt/rotation; associated with chondromalacia and PFPS
100
most common muscle strained and common PDF for muscle strains
What is groin; previous hx, tightness, muscle imbalances, poor warm up, muscle fatigue, poor posture/leg length discrepancy/malalignment
100
discuss how changes in spine position affect conditions of the spine
What is flexion increases disc pressure; hyperext increases bony stress and WB on facet joints, lateral flexion increases stress on nerve root
100
excessive swelling that pushes on a group of muscles which can lead to ischemia of muscle and compression of nerve and blood vessels. common types and main s/sx
What is Compartment syndrome; acute and chronic often associated with anterior and deep posterior compartment; loss of DF, loss of dorsal pedal pulse, loss sensation, cold foot, n/t
200
this is known as displacement of a tarso-metatarso joint. what is the common MOI and how is this injury confirmed?
What is LisFranc injury; MOI- hyper PF; confirmed via WB x-ray
200
Give the names for: apophysitis of tibial tuberosity, apophysitis of inferior patellar pole; and what other condition often results from having one of these injuries
What is Osgood Schlatters, Sinding-Larsen-Johanssen; patellar tendonitis
200
how can you tell difference between femoral fx vs hip dislocation
What is Abd/ER position for fx and Add/IR position of dislocation; protruding head of femur usually posteriorly when dislocated
200
what are two parts of the intervertebral discs and what are some s/sx that are "unique" to disc pain
What is annulus fibrosis (outer tough layer) and nucleus pulposes (gel-like inner core); pn increases with trunk flexion (usually), pain with cough/sneeze/bowel movement and valsalva, neurologic sx that may be bilateral
200
why do patellar dislocations commonly occur laterally
What is strong vastus lateralis, large medial condyle which makes it harder to go medially
300
an exostosis at the medial calcaneal tubercle is called what? What other condition is this associated with an what is the cardinal sx of this other condition
What is Heel spur, plantar fasciitis and WB first thing in the morning is the worst
300
Pain over the Lateral femoral epicondyle is associated with what condition. Also what are some of the predisposing factors for this injury
What is IT band friction syndrome; PDF-- genu varum, leg length discrepancy, tight IT band, banked surfaces, high running milage, large femoral epicondyle, tibial rotation
300
common areas of stress fracture in the hip,thigh and pelvis and what are some key signs/sx
What is pubic ramus, neck of femur, proximal 1/3 femur; increased pain on 1 leg, night pain, worse at night and morning, pain with extreme ROM, pain progression
300
how does SI joint dysfunction occur if the joint is strong and well supported
What is improper training techniques (banked surfaces, track running same direction, constant landing on one leg), pelvic rotation or tilting issues, leg length discrepancies, hyperlordosis
300
another name for patellar tendonitis, muscle that can compress the sciatic nerve and another name for sports hernia
What is jumpers knee, piriformis and athletic pubalgia
400
Discuss flat feet. Include types, biomechanical issues, associated structures that are affected/anatomy
What is Structural vs functional, associated with overpronation, anatomy: navicular drops, calcaneal everts, spring ligament overstretches and provides limited support, tibialis posterior becomes weak
400
What are common types of meniscus tears and key s/sx
What is bucket handle, parrot beak, vertical/longitudinal, horizontal/radial-- key s/sx joint line pain and swelling, locking/giving way of knee, popping/grinding and clicking, pain with deep knee bend and rotation
400
this condition is caused by inflammation of the pubic symphysis. what muscle group is often affected and how does this happen
What is osteitis pubis, associated with groin/adductor muscles; caused by pull of muscles unilaterally on pubis causing separation of symphysis; also during running the tilting and rotation of the pelvis can cause irritation
400
conditions that are associated with sciatica
What is herniated disc, facet joint syndrome, si joint, tumors, stenosis, nerve root compression, piriformis syndrome
400
What are causes for medial tibial stress syndrome
What are stress fx, muscle strains of tibialis posterior, periosteitis, deep posterior compartment syndrome
500
most common ankle ligament injured, how it is assessed and common injuries that can occur at the same time
What is ATF, assess through an Anterior Drawer but use Talar Tilt and Kleigers for differential diagnosis; commonly associated with peroneal strain, injury to base of 5th, medial malleolar bruise, possible fx to fibular head, malleolar fx
500
discuss PDF for ACLs- list and why for each
What is high Qangle, imbalance between quads and hams, female, proper training/eccentrics, anatomic structure inside the knee- intercondylar notch size, hyperext/tibial rotation
500
Discuss differences between SCFE and LCPD
What is one is separation of head from femoral shaft other is avascular necrosis; SCFE occurs between 10-15 yrs, LCPD is between ages 3-12; SCFE are unable to stand on one leg and may have excess ER while LCPD has decreased ER
500
define the spondy conditions
What is spondylitis, spondylosis, spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis
500
how do LB strains occur, what muscle group is affected and what areas besides the LB need to be addressed during rehab
What is hyperextension (especially with rotation), erector spinae and need to address posture/technique, hamstring tightness, core body and pelvic neutral
