Goniometry and Manual Muscle Testing of the UEbenjatchison
This document provides guidance on performing range of motion assessments of the upper extremity. Key points include obtaining consent from the patient, understanding joint biomechanics, performing functional assessments before isolated joint motions, measuring both active and passive range of motion, using proper goniometer alignment, and recording all findings systematically. Proper patient positioning, clear communication, and awareness of each patient's situation are emphasized.
The document describes the Ilizarov technique, a method of limb lengthening and reconstruction using an external fixator device. It provides background on its development in the 1950s in Russia and outlines the basic components of the apparatus. The technique allows for gradual correction of fractures, nonunions, deformities and limb length discrepancies through the biological process of distraction osteogenesis. Close postoperative management and monitoring is crucial to the technique's success.
Orthopedic physiotherapy evaluation form wmAarti Sundaran
This orthopedic physiotherapy evaluation form collects extensive patient information including chief complaints, medical history, symptoms, physical examination findings, functional assessment, special tests, problem list, and treatment plan. The physical examination involves assessment of range of motion, muscle strength, reflexes, sensory function, gait, balance, hand function and coordination. Objective findings are recorded for vital signs, limb measurements, posture, scars, swelling and deformities. A functional independence measure evaluates self-care, sphincter control, mobility, locomotion and communication abilities. Goals, diagnosis and individualized treatment are then outlined.
The document is a textbook on therapeutic exercises. It begins with an introductory chapter on mechanics which discusses key concepts such as force, center of gravity, base of support, equilibrium, and levers. Specifically, it defines force and describes different types of forces including linear, parallel, rotational, and concurrent forces. It then defines concepts such as center of gravity, line of gravity, and base of support and how they relate to stability and equilibrium. Finally, it describes the three classes of levers - first, second, and third order levers - and provides examples of each type, including examples related to human movement.
1. Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is a rare condition characterized by failure of the tibia to heal which can lead to deformity and recurrent fractures.
2. It has an unclear etiology but is often associated with neurofibromatosis type 1. Treatment aims to achieve bone union, prevent refracture, and correct limb length and ankle deformities.
3. Surgical treatment often involves vascularised fibular grafting, the Ilizarov technique using external fixation, or intramedullary nailing with bone grafting. The Ilizarov method uses corticotomy and gradual distraction to induce new bone formation.
Swan neck deformity is characterized by hyperextension of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint and flexion of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint. It results from intrinsic tightness and extensor tendon imbalance caused by rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Management involves preventing further PIP hyperextension, restoring DIP extension, and addressing any underlying joint problems or deformities based on the classification and pathophysiology. Surgical options range from splinting to tendon procedures to joint replacement depending on the severity of the deformity and RA damage.
Walking is a phenomenon that is taken for granted by healthy individuals, but requires a complex control of the neuromusculoskeletal system. Walking is mainly a result of an automatic process, involving the spinal cord and brainstem mechanisms. Hemiplegic type of gait of a person who has had a brain insult and depends on which area of the brain is affected. Hemiplegic gait usually has:
Decreased stance phase and prolonged swing phase of the paretic side.
Decreased walking speed and shorter stride length.

orthopedics. sciatic n. injury.(baxtyar rasul)student
The document discusses the anatomy, causes of injury, symptoms, treatment, and prognosis of sciatic nerve injury. It also discusses common peroneal nerve injury, including causes, symptoms, and nerve entrapment syndromes that can occur when peripheral nerves pass through fibro-osseous tunnels. Sites of potential nerve entrapment include the carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel, and tarsal tunnel. Treatment involves avoiding compromising postures, splinting, steroid injections, and potential surgical decompression if other treatments fail.
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acquired autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation of the peripheral nervous system. It can cause muscle weakness or paralysis. Physiotherapy management focuses on preventing complications like respiratory issues, contractures, and deep vein thrombosis during the acute phase. In subsequent phases, treatment includes stretching, strengthening, aerobic exercise, and balance training to aid recovery. Speech therapy may also be used to address swallowing difficulties that can occur with GBS.
Frenkel exercises were developed in 1889 to treat tabes dorsalis, a disease causing loss of proprioception. Dr. Frenkel derived a method using systematic, graduated exercises to facilitate restoration of smooth, coordinated movements in patients with sensory ataxia. The exercises aim to establish voluntary movement control using any intact sensory mechanisms like sight, sound, and touch to compensate for lost kinesthetic sensation. Exercises progress from simple to complex motions in lying, sitting, and standing positions to improve coordination, balance, and gait.
Periarthritis shoulder, also known as frozen shoulder, is an inflammatory condition of the shoulder joint and surrounding soft tissues that causes pain and loss of movement. It typically progresses through three stages - painful, stiff, and recovery. Risk factors include age over 40, female sex, diabetes, prolonged immobility, and previous shoulder injury. Treatment involves medications, corticosteroid injections, and physical therapy to regain mobility, with surgery as a last resort if conservative treatments fail after several months. Regular exercise is important for prevention.
Claw hand, or intrinsic minus hand, is caused by paralysis of the intrinsic hand muscles due to ulnar nerve injury. This results in hyperextension of the MP joints and flexion of the PIP and DIP joints, impairing hand function. Management involves restoring flexion at the MP joints and extension at the PIP joints through static procedures like capsulotomy or dynamic tendon transfers. Dynamic transfers use expendable donor tendons like the ECRL/ECRB to restore finger flexion and grip strength. Legendary orthopedic surgeon Dr. Paul Brand pioneered many tendon transfer techniques for treating leprosy-related hand deformities and rehabilitating patients.
1) Achilles tendonitis is inflammation of the Achilles tendon in the back of the ankle with symptoms of pain when walking, pushing off, or jumping. 2) An Achilles rupture is a complete or partial tear of the Achilles tendon that causes a loud pop and inability to stand on toes. 3) Treatment for tendonitis is rest, ice, and physical therapy while a rupture requires immobilization and possibly surgery followed by a lengthy rehabilitation process.
This document discusses strategies to reduce force on the hip joint for individuals with hip osteoarthritis or weak hip abductor muscles. It analyzes using a lateral lean, cane on the same side, or cane on the opposite side. A lateral lean reduces gravitational torque but increases energy expenditure. A cane on the same side provides some relief but a cane on the opposite side may offset gravity's torque, reducing the need for abductor muscle force and joint compression to just body weight. However, the full distance between hand and hip may overestimate the cane's effectiveness.
Septicarthritis is an inflammation of the synovial membrane of a joint caused by bacterial, viral, or fungal infection. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common cause in adults. Symptoms include severe pain, swelling, warmth and limited range of motion in the infected joint. Diagnosis involves joint fluid analysis showing purulent material and inflammatory markers. Treatment requires antibiotics, drainage of pus, and sometimes surgery. Without rapid treatment, joint destruction and long-term disability can occur.
This document discusses wrist drop, finger drop, and foot drop caused by radial nerve palsy. It provides details on the anatomy of the radial nerve and explains how injuries at different points can cause wrist drop or finger drop. For foot drop, it describes the anatomy of the leg and discusses how peroneal nerve injuries or issues with the sciatic nerve or L5 root can cause weakness of the dorsiflexors. It outlines the clinical features, diagnostic process, and treatment options including conservative care, physical therapy, splinting, and in some cases surgery.

The document discusses the anatomy and function of the median nerve and the importance of an opposable thumb for humans. It then focuses on median nerve injuries that cause paralysis of the thenar muscles and inability to oppose the thumb. Various tendon transfer techniques are described to restore thumb opposition, including the Bunnell opponensplasty using the palmaris longus tendon. Post-operative immobilization of the thumb and wrist is recommended to allow healing after opponensplasty surgery.
This document provides biographical information about Dr. Manoj R. Kandoi, the founder and president of the Institute of Arthritis Care & Prevention. It states that the institute is involved in patient education, conducting symposiums, and creating self-help groups regarding arthritis. The document also notes that Dr. Kandoi has published several works on arthritis and can be contacted through the institute.
The document summarizes the pulley system in the hand that provides precise control of finger movement. It describes that there are two types of pulleys - annular and cruciate. The five annular pulleys (A1-A5) are rings of connective tissue that help direct the flexor tendons. The A2 and A4 pulleys are the largest and most important. Damage to the pulleys can cause the tendon to be pulled away from the finger joints, weakening grip. The three cruciate pulleys (C1-C3) provide additional stability but are less important than the annular pulleys.
There are three types of patella dislocation: acute, recurrent, and habitual. Acute dislocation occurs suddenly due to quadriceps contraction with the knee flexed and results in the patella dislocating laterally, causing pain, swelling, and inability to straighten the knee. Recurrent dislocations are caused by ligament laxity or anatomical abnormalities and damage bones with repeated dislocations. Habitual dislocations occur every time the knee is flexed and present in early childhood.
The document summarizes key aspects of normal human gait, including:
1. The gait cycle consists of stance phase (foot on ground) and swing phase (foot not on ground). Stance phase involves weight acceptance, single limb support, and limb advancement.
2. Important determinants of gait include lateral pelvic tilt, knee flexion, knee/ankle/foot interactions, and pelvic rotation, which help minimize the vertical and lateral movements of the center of gravity to reduce energy expenditure.
3. Gait is analyzed using spatial variables like step length, stride length, base of support; and temporal variables like stance time, single support time, stride duration. Normal cadence is 100
The document defines and describes various types of human movement, including osteokinematics and arthokinematics. It explains the differences between kinematics and kinetics, and defines the three planes of motion (sagittal, frontal, transverse) and three axes of rotation (X, Y, Z). Finally, it provides definitions and examples for various terms used to describe types of motion, such as flexion, extension, abduction, rotation, and others.
Congenital pseudoarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is a rare bone condition present at birth where the tibia fails to heal properly. It is challenging to treat effectively due to the poor healing potential and tendency to not heal spontaneously. The main goals of treatment are to achieve bone union, prevent refracture and limb shortening, and correct any deformities of the leg or ankle. Surgical options include vascularized fibular grafting, external fixation, intramedullary nailing, and amputation in resistant cases. Complications can include refracture, malalignment, limb length discrepancy, ankle valgus, and stiffness. Long-term follow up is needed to monitor for problems and make corrections.
Shockwave therapy involves using pressurized acoustic shockwaves to treat musculoskeletal conditions. There are two main types - focused shockwaves concentrate energy at a target depth while radial shockwaves disperse energy over a wider area. The shockwaves cause mechanical deformation and possible damage of cells through cavitation. This stimulates tissue healing through inflammation. Evidence supports shockwave for chronic tendinopathies like lateral elbow and Achilles tendon. Contraindications include active infection or bone growth areas.
This document provides information on various types of hand orthosis including their objectives, indications, and principles. It describes static and dynamic orthosis used to immobilize, support, correct deformities, and facilitate motion of the wrist, fingers, and thumb. Examples include cock-up splints, gauntlet immobilization splints, and dynamic wrist extension splints. Biomechanical principles like three point pressure and stress distribution are discussed. Contraindications and importance of physical therapy evaluation and training are also summarized.
