Joint hypomobility is typically associated with what disease?

OA
Functional limitations of Joint hypomobility include:
- decreased ROM
- muscle inhibition
- impaired balance
management of Joint hypomobility include:
- pt education
- maintain mobility
- joint mobs
- stretching
- isometric strengthening
- strengthen ankle and hip muscles
types of articular cartilage treatments:
- autograft transplant
- chondrocyte implantation
- allograft transplant
management of articular cartilage defects include:
- WB restrictions
- protective bracing in extension
- low impact activities 6 months post
- hip impact activities 8-12 months post
primary goal of TKA
- decrease pain
- improve function
- improve quality of life
types of TKA
- fully constrained
- semiconstrained
- unconstrained
Management of TKA
- WB restrictions dependent upon surgical technique
- increase ROM 0-90*
- isometrics
- decrease pain & swelling
Alignment associated with PFD is influenced by:
- quadriceps line of pull
- ligamentous, capsular, retinaculum
Dynamic alignment concerning PFD

quadriceps line of pull
passive alignment concerning PFD:

ligamentous, capsular, retinaculum
IT band tightness prevents what?

medial glide of patella
pronation of the foot increases what?

Q-angle
weakness of hip abduction and ER allow for what?

excessive adduction and IR
weakness of the VMO allow for what?

excessive lateral patellar glide
painful lesions associated with PFD include:
- plica
- tendonitits
- IT band syndrome
- bursitis
what is there minimal contact between the patella and femur?

full knee extension due to compression
conservative tx approach to PFD:
- pt education
- patellar mobs (medially)
- McConnell taping
- VMO stretching
- Biofeedback
- stretching hams and IT band
surgical tx for PFD
- soft tissue procedures
- osseous procedures
- articular cartilage procedures
- TKA
- patellectomy
post-op tx of PFD

MCL injury
- contact lateral knee causing valgus stress
- typically associated with unhappy triad
LCL injury

contact at medial knee causing varus stress
non-op management of ligamentous injuries
- max protection phase
- mod protection phase
- min protection phase
max protection phase of ligamentous injury includes:
- bracing
- RICE
- assistive device training
- ROM
- isometrics
mod protection phase of ligamentous injury include:
- PRE
- closed chain ex
- ROM
- balance
- stabilization
- walk/jog/mini squats
min protection phase of ligamentous injury include:
- agility
- running
- sports specific drills
Types of ACL repair
