History
What is the main reason behind the triage portion of the initial examination?
What is deciding whether the pt. is appropriate for PT
The complete severance of a nerve with loss of all function
what is neurotmesis
This is the passive accessory motion or “glide”
What is arthokinematics
Manual Therapy can be utilize to treat several conditions through various methods. Name the areas treated and techniques used.
What are joint, soft tissue, and nerve? What are mobilization, manipulation, muscle energy, dry needling, and nerve gliding?
Definition of Isokinetic Movement
Exercise with constant velocity
There are many flags that can be used for classification of pts. What flag symbolizes positive factors, such as positive pt. perspective?
What is a pink flag
A pain that is the amplification of nerual signaling within the CNS resulting in hypersensitivity
What is central Sensitization pain
The side should be tested first
What is the uninvolved side
The APTA Guide to PT Practice defined joint mobilization/manipulation as?
A continuum of skilled passive movements to the joints and/or related soft tissues applied at varying speeds & amplitudes, including HVLA (high-velocity, low-amplitude) movement
Exercises for patients with hypermobility?
Motor Control/Stability/Strength Exercises
This chart shows how bio-psycho-social aspects work together and alter the pain a person feels.
What is the Neuromatrix Theory of Pain
A lesion or dysfunction in a peripheral nerve, dorsal root ganglion, or spinal nerve root arising from trauma, compression, inflammation, or ischemia
What is peripheral neuropathic pain
Joint surfaces are maximally congruent, ligaments are taut, and joint is maximally stable
What is a closed-packed position.
Manual Therapy is indicated based on what evaluation findings?
What is a local neuromuscular disorder with decreased joint PAM and concordant pain?
Neuroplasticity
Use it or Lose it, Use it and Improve it!
A pt. explains to you when she shampoos her hair, her shoulder pain becomes sharp, and the pain lasts for upwards of an hour afterwards. What part of SINSS is she describing?
What is irritability
neuropraxia and its recovery time
What is the transient physiological block caused by ischemia from pressure or stretching of a nerve recovery in minutes to days, usually complete.
A negative result gives you more info than a positive result
What is a sensitive test
State the effects of Manual Therapy and what can be done to enhance the effects?
What are the short-term effects of decrease pain, decrease muscle tone, increase motion, and improved sensorimotor integration & motor control? What is combining manual therapy with therapeutic exercise?
Goal of Exercise Prescription in Chronic Phase
Return to Function
What does SINSS stand for, and which category is most important for developing a differential DX?
What is Severity, Irritability, Nature, Stage, & Stability; nature = most important for differential DX
4 types of bone fractures
what are: greenstick, spiral, comminuted, transverse
This tests contractile, non-contractile, and neural tissue of a joint
What is AROM
This theoretical mechanism of manual therapy operates through endogenous inhibition of pain, decrease inflammatory mediators, decreased dorsal horn sensitization, and alter sensory processing.
What is neurophysiological?
Progression from Static Balance
Balance on uneven surfaces, closing eyes, adding a task
