Footwear problems with plantar fasciitis
Medial Midsole compressed, well-worn running shoes
Strain to Plantar fasci is caused by
Lack of DF
Objective signs of Plantar Fasciitis - Palpation
Palpation tender along plantar fascia, medial calcaneal tubercle
Objective signs of Plantar Fasciitis - Flexibility Issues
Decreased DF, Decreased Plantar flexor flexbility, Pain with toe extension
Muscle Weakness with Plantar Fasciitis
Tib Post
Structural foot issues with Plantar Fasiciitis
Excess pronation due to rearfoot varus, forefoot varus
Differential Dx of plantar fasciitis
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome,
Bruised heel, Calcaneal Stress Fx
Tendinitis's that are Diff Dx of plantar fasciitis
Tib post, Peroneus Longus
Impairments with Plantar fasciitis
Morning pain, pain with walking, increased pronation, decreased flexibility of PF, Pain with heel rasie
What causes stress/strain to plantar fascia
DF with toe extension
Plantar fasciitis Tx - 1st 2 Weeks - What orthotics are appropriate?
Orthotics= OTC, Heel Lift, Night Splint
Night Splint function
Keep foot in DF thru night to help maintain slight stretch on Plantar fascia
Modalities for Plantar fasciitis Tx in the first two weeks
Ice Massage, US, Soft Tissue Massage= Deep Friction Massage, Iontophoresis, Phonophoresis, NSAIDS, ECSWT
What is ECSWT
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy is a high intensity US and is done in MD office. It is similar to Deep friction massage
When strengthening TA what postion does foot need to be in?
PF so there is no stress on Plantar Fascia
To minimize stress on plantar fascia when stretching PF - foot should be in this position
No toe extension, decrease pressure on forefoot= NWB stretch, Maintain supination
Mechanism for heel lift to help with plantar fasciitis
Puts forefoot on a more PF position to help in gait when tibia is coming over foot (foot don't have to DF as much
Aspects in pt history leading to idea of Tendinitis
Overuse, Pain with activity and decreases with rest, NSAIDS help, Insidious Onset
Pain with Active Contraction/Passive Stretch
Tendinitis
Pain increasing with Stance Phase
Tendinitis of plantar flexor - but cannot indicate which one
Where is Critical Zone of Avuscularity
2-6 cm above calcaneus
What is Critical Zone of Avascularity
Decreased blood flow to achilles tendon. Classic area to look for tendinitis
Insertional Tendinitis
Is not common
Paratendonitis
Inflammation around paratendon
Tendinosis
Degeneration in the tendon
A firm nodule is present with
Tendinosis
Modality commonly used with tendinosis
US
Longitudinal arch is supported by
TA, TP, FHL, FDL, PL
Diff Dx of Tendinitis
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome, Ostrigonum, Sever's Disease, Haglund's Deformity
Ostrigonum
Post lat tubercle of talus either breaks off or is congentially not there- is an accessory bone
Ostrigonum
Active or Passive PF causes posterior pain with this
Sever's Disease
Calcaneal apophysitis- growth plate is irritated and inflammed
Haglund's Deformity
Prominence of Post Superior calcaneal tuberocity
Impairments with tendinitis
Pain= pass stretch/ act contraction, pain with walk/run, decreased flexibility
Eccentric Protocol is used for what
Tendinitis at foot/ankle
Eccentric Protocol
Concentric contraction with heel raise of both legs, eccentric contraction of involved leg only with lowering of the foot
Eccentric Protocol Dosage
3 sets, 15 reps, 2x day, 7 days/wk, for 12 wks
Key for Eccentric Protocol
Add weight to cause pain and only stop if pain is debilitating
Achilles Tendon Rupture Occurs in what group of people
30-50 YO, Recreational Athlete
Platelet Rich Plasma
Plama spun from blood - rich in platelets, injected into area that needs to heal.
What in PRP accelerates healing
growth factors & cytokines attract macrophages & stem cells accelerate healing
Why should AROM begin in Acute phase of Achilles Tendon Rupture
Only in early motion. It increases blood flow, maintains mm strength, limits loss of motion
Ankle position used for DF isometric exercise
PF bc it decreases strain on the muscles
Open pack postion of ankle
PF and IN
Ankle sprained with what position
PF and IN
Typical Ligaments injured in Ankle Sprain
Ant. Talofib and CF ligaments
Ligaments injured in high ankle sprain
Post and Ant Tibiofibular Lig
This lig is typically not sprained
Deltoid
Positive Tests for Ankle Sprain
Ant Drawer, Talar Tilt
Diagnosis for Ankle Sprain
MOI, Swelling over lateral malleoulus and lat sinus tarsi
Reason for ordering Stress X-Ray
Pain with WB, 6" above med & lat malleoli, styloid of 5th, swelling occurs quickly, eccymosis
Diff Diagnosis seen with Stress X-ray for Ankle Sprain
Growth Plate Fracture at fibular head
Grade I Sprain
No Instability. Little bruise/swelling, 1 lig partially torn
Grade II Sprain
2 Lig partially torn, Swelling/bruising, + Ant Drawer/ Maybe + Talar Tilt
Grade III Sprain
Complete lig tear. + ant drawer/ + talar tilt. Lots of instability
Osteochondritis Dissecans, Talar Tibial Impingement
Diff Dx of Ankle Sprain
Osteochondritis Dissecans
cartilage lifted off bone. Happens in talus due to shearing or compressive forces
Talar Tibial Impingement
Spurs Develop anterior tibia
Talar Tibial Impingement
Impingement of Talus Anteriorly on tibia. Pain anterior and occurs with DF. Lat x-ray shows spur on ant tibia
Trimalleolar Fracture
Posterior Part Tibia Is Fractured
Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome
Shin Splints
Shin Splints
Stress Fx, myositis, periostitis, tendinitis, compartement syndrome, fasciitis, ischemic disorders
Symptoms MTSS
Hurt with stretch/ contraction. Pain with Pass DF/ Act PF. Hopping, run, walk all hurt
Causes MTSS
Change in training
Pain location with MTSS
medial distal 1/3 of tibia
