+ Thompson Test
Achilles Tendinopathy
cook et al. Manual Therapy 2002
Histopathology

Tendons: respond poorly to overuse, healing slow, incomplete,
lacks extracellular organization
Acute tendons heal with a standard triphasic response;
inflammation, proliferation, and maturation
But, poorly vascularized and doesn't always follow nice pattern
Tendon disruption may fail to stimulate adequate inflammatory response

MICROSCOPICALLY: large increase in ground substance > greater proportion
of large proteoglycans than found in normal tendon

Leads to
Increased number of tendon cells
Immigration of fibroblasts from peritendon
Increased organelles responsible for protein synthesis

Large amounts of ground substance, inferior collagen, and vascularity
are randomly arranged and lack organization, making the tendon less load tolerant
Lots of type III, and doesn't really get to type I

Exercise may offer a stimulant to improving the organization of these components -
Profound effect on collagen (prevent tissue from staying in early phase)
Haglunds deformity:
Haglunds deformity: Bony Prominence and Bursae
Calcaneus impinge at anterior aspect of tendon
Insertional tendon pain
Peritendinitis
vs
Tendinopathy
Swelling
Crepitus
Swelling not moving with tendon
Covering and vascular supply TO the tendon

Tendinopathy
Localized to tendon
Change activity
Morning pain
Thicker on palpation
Why is palpation tenderness not a clinically useful tool for symptoms in the patella tendon (tendonopathy?)
Palpation tenderness is not a clinically useful tool as small amounts of pressure provoke pain in tendons
Palpation tenderness has been shown not to correlate with imaging changes or symptoms in the patella tendon
Rx tendinopthay
Musculotendinous strengthening…essential
Strongly biased toward eccentric
Exercise appears to be the only stimulus described to date that positively influences collagen alignment
Rest (previous inflammatory paradigm) will reduce pain, no improvement in musculotendinous function.
Rest affects negatively > reducing collagen amount and strength

Eccentric

Increase speed load

Alfredson etal. 1998-heavy load eccentric
Curwin and Stanish 1984-speed not used
pain not contraindication (intense)
CKC > Detail to compensation, bias landing, etc.
Plantarfascitis
pain along the plantar aspect of the heel for more than 6 months. Calcaneal tubercle, medial plantar nerve just medial to that. ASTYM, phono, soft tissue, friction massage, orthotics, night splints. But, can be very tough to rehab.

Pathomechanics
Abnormal movement or muscle deficiency at the hip has effects on big picture. Spine, knees, ankles.. proximal or distal effect. Genu valgus, Q-angle, hyperpronation (pronated limb is shorter - correct with orthotic and strengthening).

Studies on the effects of mobilization on hip muscle torque
Effect of grade IV inferior hip joint mobilization on hip abductor torque. Compared with grade I inferior hip joint mobilization, grade IV inferior hip joint mobilization showed a statistically significant increase in hip abductor torque and was consistent with other studies demonstrating that the use of a grade IV non-thrust mobilization improves strength immediately post intervention in healthy individuals.

Usefulness of posterioranterior (P-A) hip joint mobilization in improving strength of the gluteus maximus muscle. control group received Grade I P-A mobilization and experimental group received Grade IV P-A mobilization. Statistically significant difference between the hip extensor torque of the two groups with a 14% increase in strength for the experimental group and only a 4% increase in strength for the control group.

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS)
Pathomechanics? Weakness?
Exam findings
Trendelenburg’s sign
Pain on resisted abduction
Pain on resisted IR

MRI
Looked at presentation and significance.
Gluteus medius tendon pathology is important in defining GTPS.

Trendelenburg's sign is the most sensitive and specific physical sign for the detection of gluteus medius tears
Probably not a large tear, but it's killing them

11 patients (45.8%) had a gluteus medius tear
15 patients (62.5%) had gluteus medius tendinitis (pure tendinitis in 9 patients and tendinitis with a tear in 6 patients)
Tibiofemoral joint

Knee Menisci
Improve congruency
Connected to tibial condyles by coronary ligaments, to each other by transverse lig
Med meniscus attached to joint capsule and MCL, anterior and posterior cruciate lig, and semimembranosus muscle (more efficiency/capability, more vulnerable to damage)
Lateral meniscus attach to PCL and tendon of popliteus through capsular connection. Kisner and Colby
Lateral meniscus has greater mobility because it does not attach to the LCL and capsular attachment interrupted by passage of popliteus tendon Orthopaedic Examination Dutton
Meniscus has vasculature.
Careful with post-op flexion (none beyond 90 for # of weeks – prevent torque)
Arthrokinematics of the knee in open and closed kinetic chain
OKC: concave plateaus slide in the same direction as the bone motion. TKE results in tibia externally rotating on the femur; with flexion tibia rotates internally

CKC: motion of femur on fixed, convex condyles slide in the direction opposite bone direction
Screw-home mechanism
Tibia fixed, weight bearing, TKE results in femur rotating internally > medial condyle slides farther posterior than lateral. As knee is unlocked the femur rotates laterally
Patellofemoral Joint
Sesmoid bone in quadriceps tendon-patella
Articulates with intercondylar trochlear groove on the anterior aspect of the distal portion of the femur (narrow groove/notch may contribute to incidence of ACL injury in females)
Articulating surface covered with smooth hyaline cartilage (thickest in body – 7 mm?)
Embedded in anterior capsule and connected to tibia by ligamentum patella
Retinacula: lateral superficial and deep (deep to IT and comes in with biceps femoris tendon)
Accessory motion > superior with extension (inferior with flexion)
May contribute to decreased ROM and extensor lag
Patellar Function

Compressive forces???

Surgery????
Increase the moment arm of the quadriceps tendon
redirects forces exerted by the quadriceps
(of picture of alta, Mahon says→ “it's like riddin' high big time” → )
Compressive forces???
Between 60* knee flexion to full flexion
Inferior part of patella engaging in groove

Surgery????
Look for common impairments:
Quad lag – lacking active knee extension
Lack full knee flexion
Weak quad and hamstring
Joint capsule and synovium of knee
Ascends anteriorly ~ two fingerbreadths above the patella to form suprapatellar pouch
Inferiorly attaches along edge of the tibial plateau, with exception of intercondylar eminence
Synovial membrane lines inner portion of knee joint/capsule  excludes cruciate ligaments from inner portion of knee joint
Thus cruciates extrasynovial yet intra-articular
Considerations for patellar tracking?
Malalignment and tracking considerations
Quad

Patella tendon

Boney restraints of
trochlear groove (shallow groove
leads to lateral tracking?)

Passive

Dynamic

Don't laterally glide patella! Could
Do medial, anterior, superior

Q-angle: male 12*, female 16*

Malalignment and tracking considerations
Increased Q-angle
Muscle and fascial tightness:
Tight IT band and lat retinaculum
Tight ankle PF
Medial tibial torsion
Rectus femoris
Hip muscle weakness

Lax medial capsule or
insufficient VMO

With lateral tracking, get bone on bone
action theoretically (patellar facets and groove)
Patella contact and compressive forces
Contact:
Full knee extension superior to trochlear groove
15˚ flexion inf border articulates w/ superior aspect groove (contact)
>90˚ quad tendon in trochlea groove

Compressive forces:
Joint reaction force increases between 30-60˚
Squat inc til 90˚
OKC jt reaction force ~ 30˚ w/ free wt at ankle
OKC (open kinetic chain) peak compression at 75˚ w/ variable resistance
Muscle function- quads
Closed-chain function: Quadriceps - extension

Patella: Increase distance of the quadriceps tendon from the knee joint axis
(do quad set for patellar mobility with immobilized leg)

Torque: peak between 70˚ and 50˚

standing: knee extension
Greatest 60-30˚
Muscle function at knee
Hamstring-2 joint ->

Gastrocnemius-function as

Popliteus-

Pes anserine-
Hamstring-2 joint -> contract more efficiently when lengthened over the hip

Gastrocnemius-function as knee flexor, but 1˚ function is to support posterior capsule

Popliteus-support posterior capsule unlock knee
Popliteus trigger-point

Pes anserine-medial stability and rotation of tibia CKC
Manual techniques for knee

Principles of ACL Rehabilitation
Principles of ACL Rehabilitation
Full passive knee extension (prevent arthrofibrosis)
Restore patellar mobility (quad's on vacation, may do functional stim if mobility is lost.)
Reduce postoperative inflammation (swelling leads to muscle inhibition)
-WBAT, w/ 2 crutches, brace locked (don't be too eager to get off crutches – bad mechanics)
-increase pain and swelling and concomitant
Full ROM by 4-6 weeks (0-90* at 5-7 days, 0-110? later)
Re-establish voluntary quadriceps
Restore neuromuscular control – front step-downs, lateral step-downs, single
front step down – strong correlation between functional outcome (dr. Mahon likes lateral step down)
Plyometrics
Gradual increase applied loads
MCL injuries are managed nonoperatively more often than ACL, PCL, or LCL injuries
Imposing controlled loads on the knee while protecting the graft from excessive stresses
Do neuromuscular reeducation toward the end after they're fatigued
TKA
Cementless fixation  WBAT to TTWB (toe-touch) Can get aggressive (non cemented has porous coat and bone infiltrates it. Younger people might have non-cemented)
SLR supine and prone  be careful with side ABD for several weeks (varus/valgus stress)
High impact per surgeon
How does Early High-Intensity Rehabilitation Following TKA affect outcomes according to
Bade and Stevens-Lapsley JOSPT Dec 2011?

Differences in the groups?
According to Bade and Stevens-Lapsley, how much does quad strength drop 1 month post TKA?
60% That's pretty profound. Wants to become knee flexion contracture because they can't do quad set.
What was the criteria to decrease the intensity level of the subsequent session?
C/o decreased walking endurance
Soreness 2 hours or greater
Decreased ROM by 5* or more (take note and think about whether it was from your PT or them at home)

Upper and lower trapezius and serratus anterior -> upwardly rotate scapula with elevation
Serratus anterior -> protracts the scapula on the thorax to align scapula during flexion or pushing
Rhomboids -> downwardly rotate and retract scapula in synchrony with lats, teres major, and RTC
Stabilize scapula through balance of forces
Faulty posture - slouching
Increased kyphosis decreases posterior tilting and ER of the scapula during
Elevation of the arm (leads to quicker subacromial impingement)
Muscle length and strength imbalances occur in scapular and humeral mm
Alter mechanics of GH joint (tight pec minor – prevents posterior tilt by pulling on coracoid.
Stretch weakness and shortened weakness on opposite sides)
Forward tilt > decreased flexibility of the pect minor, levator scapula, and scalenus
Muscles and weakness in serratus anterior and trapezius
Humerus is abducted and IR
GH IR less flexible; ER weaken

Shoulder Girdle Function - scapulohumeral rhythm
Scapulohumeral Rhythm
scapula with humerus allows for 150-180˚
flexion or abduction
2:1 ratio > 2˚glenohumeral:1˚ scapular

Scapular motion > upward rotation, posterior tilt, scapula ER
During humeral elevation synchronous motion of scapula allows for
Effective length-tension relationship AND congruency humeral head & fossa
Upper and lower trap and serratus cause upward rotation scapula
Weakness or paralysis, results in scapula downward rotated.
Deltoid and supraspinatus reach active insufficiency-cannot elevate arm
During elevation pect minor is lengthened as scapular upwardly rotates
Restricted scapular movement from shortened pect minor, results in impingement
Clavicular Elevation with Rotation with Humeral Motion
First 30˚ of upward rotation of scapula occurs with
elevation of the clavicle at the SC joint

coracoclavicular ligament becomes taut
clavicle rotates 38˚ to 55˚ about longitudinal axis

allows the scapula to rotate an additional 30˚ @ AC jt
External Rotation of the Humerus with Elevation
External Rotation of the Humerus with Elevation
During elevation of the arm, humerus externally rotates
allows greater tubercle of humerus to clear
coracoacromial arch
Shoulder replacement patients have limited ER, so limited elevation

In vivo study of elevation flexion, scapular plane, and abduction
Demonstrated 55˚ ER in all planes. During abduction ER occurred
Up to 125˚ followed by some IR, forward flexion ER occurred until
50˚ then plateaued. ER occurred again from 110˚ to 160˚. During
Elevation in the scapular plane ER occurred throughout.
Stokdiijk, et al. Clin Biomech 2003
Deltoid- Rotator Cuff and Supraspinatus Mechanisms
Deltoid force/vector causes upward translation of humerus (impingement) (don't strengthen deltoid after shoulder replacement – work on infraspinatus, teres minor, supraspinatus, etc. for stability/control of head of humerus)
infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis produce
stabilizing compression and downward translation of
the humerus in the glenoid

deltoid & three rotators result in balance of forces that elevate humerus and control humeral head

supraspinatus > stabilizing compressive force & slight upward translation during arm elevation

Clinical signs and symptoms arthritis:
Acute: pain, muscle guarding, limited-usually ER and abduction. Pain radiating below elbow, may disturb sleep
Subacute: capsular tightness consistent with capsular pattern (ER, abduction)
pain at end range of motion, limited joint play
Chronic: progressive capsular restriction, magnifies limited motion capsular pattern. Significant loss of motion, ache localized to deltoid region
Management of Shoulder Disorders and Surgeries
Idiopathic Frozen Shoulder
Adhesive capsulitis
STAGE I: gradual onset of pain, increases w/ movement, present at night. Loss of ER with intact RTC strength. Duration < 3 months. Not seeing atrophy, but diffuse pain
STAGE II: “freezing stage” persistent and more intense pain, particularly @ rest. Motions restricted all directions. Cannot be restored with an injection. Between 3 and 9 months
STAGE III: “Frozen stage” pain only with movement, significant adhesions, limited GH motions, atrophy deltoid, RTC, triceps. Between 9 and 15 months. Not in pain anymore, but can't move
STAGE IV: “Thawing stage” minimal pain, no synovitis, significant capsular restrictions from adhesions. Between 15 to 24 months
Management guidelines are progressed based on continuum of stages and are the same
As for acute-max protection stages 1 & 2, subacute-controlled motion stage 3,
chronic-return to function stage 4

Common structural and functional impairments:

Functional Limitations
Common structural and functional impairments:
Night pain and disturbed sleep during acute flares
Pain w/motion often @ rest during acute flares
Mobility: decreased joint play & ROM > usually ER-abduction; some IR-flexion

Functional Limitations
Inability to reach overhead, behind the head, out to the side, and behind the back. Thus difficult dressing, fastening behind back, reach back pocket, reach out of car window, self-grooming, and eating
Difficulty lifting weighted objects
Limited ability to sustain repetitive activities
Faulty posture: protracted and anterior tilted scapula
Decreased arm swing during gait
Muscle performance: general weakness and poor endurance GH muscles
With overuse of the scapular muscles -> pain upper trapezius, levator, post cervicals

Glenohumeral Arthroplasty
Total shoulder Arthroplasty TSA
Hemiarthroplasty-humeral head replaced
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty rTSA (more significant now days – proximal part convex, head of humerus concave. Rotator cuff pretty much trashed – mechanics are changed and now deltoid elevates the arm)
Indications
Pain – this is why they get surgery
Loss of mobility
Glenohumeral Arthroplasty
Procedures
Glenohumeral Arthroplasty
Procedures
Late stage OA -> TSA or hemiarthroplasty…RTC intact. Unconstrained
TSA > replace glenoid component and humeral surface replaced
rTSA > reverses the ball and socket. Glenoid fossa is replaced with a convex
Glenospherical component and humeral head with stemmed cup.

Semiconstrained TSA if RTC can be repaired and function improved
Hemiarthroplasty > articular surface and underlying bone of humerus have deteriorated, but glenoid fossa intact
Doctor will write max amount of ER/IR, etc. Range of motion may be limited by hardware – providing stability

SEMICONSTRAINED: bone grafting at glenoid
Provides deeper cavity (like the labrum)
Complications with glenohumeral arthroplasty higher with
Higher in patients w/ the following

Deficient RTC
