Elbow/Wrist
Golfer's Elbow
Medial Epicondylitis
Shaving/Beveling of the acromion process
Acromioplasty
Most commonly injured ankle ligament
ATFL (Anterior Talofibular Ligament)
These types of conditions involve Mechanical compression or inflammation of a nerve root and neurological symptoms into UE and LEs
Radiculopathies
More elastin in connective tissue generally means the tissue is
More Flexible
Tennis Elbow
Lateral Epicondylitis
Scapular Dyskensis
External Rotation Test and Squeeze Test
This test is highly specific for disk herniation
Crossed straight leg raise test
Gradual Increase in tissue length that occurs when maintaining a constant stress
Creep Phenomenon
This test is performed to assess UCL integrity
Valgus stress test of the elbow
Special test the PT performs where the elbow is passively flexed and shoulder passively internally rotated; then moved into flexion along the scapular plane to 90degrees with overpressure into internal rotation.
Hawkins-Kennedy Test
Name of test that assess Achilles Tendon integrity
Thompson Test
A patient is being treated in the clinic with pain radiating down her right leg. She reports that when she bends forward at the waist, the pain increases down to her foot and when she bends backward at the waist, the pain seems to get better down her leg and is just mainly at her back. Which directional bias would be most appropriate for this patient?
Extension bias
The PTA can enhance the effectiveness of low load long duration stretching by doing what prior to beginning the stretch
Applying heat (warming muscle up)
Pain resulting from injury that is abnormally severe or prolonged compared to normal post injury response. Can have painful reaction to light touch that extends beyond radius of actual location of the stimulus.
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
A patient is being treated for post op surgical intervention of recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation. These motions should be avoided during the early phases of healing.
Condition in which there is acute or chronic elevation of tissue pressure within closed fascial space and the surgical procedure most widely used as an intervention
Compartment Syndrome, Fasciotomy
This pathology is described as compression of the vascular and or neurologic tissues as they exit the superior triangle openings of the thorax.
During gait assessment, the PTA notices an anterior trunk lean during early stance phase. The PTA concludes that weakness in this muscle group is the cause
Quadriceps
During this phase of wrist healing, gentle ROM to affected structure performed (if not contraindicated), reducing edema and pain and maintaining AROM in adjacent joints are all goals
Fibroplastic Phase
This stage of rotator cuff impingement generally involves edema and hemorrhage though can be reversed and responds to therapy
Stage I
Bone in the foot that can most likely be fractured by a fall from a height and landing on the foot in a crouched (dorsiflexed) position
Talus
The 5 "L's" of the mechanics of lifting
Load, Lever, Lordosis, Legs, Lungs
This sensory receptor is directly involved in detecting changes in muscle or tendon tension
Golgi Tendon Organ
