Plyometrics
6 important things to consider during return to play decision-making
What are tissue healing timelines, pain, patient-reported outcome measures, strength, range of motion, and physical performance tests?
This is the open pack of the elbow.
What is 70 degrees extension and 35 degrees supination?
This is the open pack of the wrist.
What is slight extension and radial deviation?
What is the axis of the joint line/greater tubercle, the stationary arm of the mid-axillary line, and the moving arm of the lateral epicondyle?
The joint type of the 1st CMC.
What is a saddle joint?
The dominant arm is typically this much stronger than the non-dominant shoulder?
What is about 10% stronger?
This surface in the proximal radioulnar joint is convex.
What is the radial head?
This mobilization improves 1st CMC abduction.
What is a dorsal glide?
A patient has a SLAP lesion. What ICF category does this fit into?
What is shoulder pain with movement coordination deficits?
This nerve innervates the muscles composing the thenar eminence.
What is the median nerve?
Name at least 5 physical performance tests for the shoulder.
Whatre are seated shot-put, prone T ball drop, LE/core assessments, CKCUEST, push-up test, UE Y-balance, ASH test, UE hop test
This mobilization is appropriate to increase volar glide to increase supination.
What is a proximal radioulnar anterior glide?
A patient presents with an impaired wrist flexion ROM post-immobilization with pain. This is an appropriate mobilization.
What is a grade I-II radiocarpal dorsal glide?
According to the Shoulder Pain and Mobility Deficits: Adhesive Capsulitis CPG decision tree, this is recommended for highly irritable cases.
What is heat, estim, education on pain modification/self-care, low-intensity joint mobs, pain-free PROM, and pain-free AAROM?
These are the contents of the carpal tunnel.
What are the tendons of FDS, tendons of FPL, tendons of FDP, and median nerve?
What is the indication for a humeroradial dorsal glide?
What is elbow extension? (head of radius on ulna is concave)
These tendons are involved with DeQuervains tenosynovitis.
What are the abductor pollis longus and extensor pollicis brevis? (APL, EPB)
This is the capsular pattern of the shoulder.
ER, abduction, IR
The ulnar nerve travels through this structure on the lateral palmar aspect of the wrist.
What is the tunnel of Guyon?
Who are UE plyometrics appropriate for?
What is a continuum of patients, with plyometrics looking different in each stage? May include UCL reconstruction, RTC tendinopathy, SLAP repair, impingement, chronic dislocations, subacromial pain syndrome, stress fractures, and others.
This is the appropriate technique for a lateral elbow pain MWM without a belt.
What is the therapist stabilizes the distal humerus and applies a lateral glide to the ulna, while the patient grips a dynamometer or squeezes a ball on the onset of pain.
A patient is diagnosed with carpal tunnel. This is how the therapist would perform a medial nerve neurodynamic. (ULNT 1)
What is start with the shoulder abducted, finger and wrist extended, forearm supinated, and shoulder external rotation. Next, extend the elbow based on symptoms. Prompt patient to cervically side flex away to sensitize and ipsilaterally to differentiate.
What deficits, both sensory and motor, may be observed if the suprascapular nerve is cut?
What is sensory loss on the proximal/top of the shoulder, and motor loss of ER and abduction?
This muscle's tendons travel through another muscle's tendons on the palmar aspect of the digit.
What is the flexor digitorum profundus, passing through the flexor digitorum superficialis?
