Dorsiflexion

casting of affected foot,PIRANI scoring system used to asses correction and tendoachilles tenotomy is planned when midfoot - pirani score is zero. In 2 children with bilateral affected foot and 2 child with unilateral foot affected, acceptable dorsiflexion acheived by casting and not considered for tenotomy. Hence a total of 39 affected have undergone tenotomy for tendo Achilles using a 16G…

Hamstrings Sufficiency: My left hip’s range of motion during flexion, with a flexed knee, was 116 degrees. However, with knee extended, my hip’s range of motion was only 113 degrees (range of motion was smaller). This means that my hamstring in my left leg is passively insufficient. In order for it to have been passively sufficient, my hip’s range of motion with knee extended would have needed to be 116 degrees as well. In the same way, my right hamstring is passively insufficient. With knee…

Sit and reach test was a test to see how flexible your hamstrings are. You had to sit with you feet flat against a board and try and push the measuring scale to see how far you can reach. This test was a really rough test for me. I have always had really bad hamstrings and sense I can remember I have never been able to touch my toes. However, I was not expecting such a lousy score. I got a whooping 17 cm, which is beyond pathetic considering the needs improvement scale is below 24 cm and good is…

exercised that they had the athlete due include marble pickups, towel pulls, calf raises, heel, and toes walks. These combined with doing stretching through. The main focus is one stretching the calf muscles to help increase the range of motion of dorsiflexion in the ankle. So far the athlete still have medial tibial stress syndrome, but it is slowly getting…

poor balance, tingling, depression, excessive thirst, heat/cold intolerance, frequent urination and urinary urgency. On examination of the wrist, range of motion is restricted with palmar flexion, dorsiflexion, ulnar deviation, radial deviation, supination and pronation. Movements are painful with dorsiflexion, ulnar deviation, radial deviation, supination and pronation. There is tenderness to palpation noted over the anatomical snuffbox, scapholunate articulation and triangular fibrocartilage…

PT completed to date in not clear from the progress notes. Furthermore, on exam there was increased ROM of the lumbar spine on flexion and extension. There was minimal spasms and tenderness noted over the lumbar spine. Improved ROM was noted on dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the right ankle. Recommend…

3-8 the goal is to have a zero degree for a dorsiflex and have full weight bearing around six weeks. To achieve this goal the exercises become harder. Some exercises include straight leg raises, side-lying hip abduction, isometrics, light active dorsiflexion, slowly increase the PROM, and gradually adding in stationary cycling. Still, during this period, you want to keep an eye for a decrease in edema. Also, massaging out any scar tissue that is forming. As time goes on the rehab becomes more…

Farrelly, and Wakelin (2007) laid out a home-based exercise program that was shown to improve ankle range of motion. We recommended that subject 1 follow their program of warm up, resisted plantar flexion, and passive dorsiflexion for up to six months or until the normative value for dorsiflexion is reached. In addition, another possible intervention is an ankle mobility drill. This is when the participants goes to a wall and places one foot a few inches from the wall and the other foot places…

What would happen if we had no ankles? Ankles are crucial to our movement and play a huge part in moving our feet and walking. The ankle is a large joint made up of three main bones. These three main bones are the tibia, the fibula and the talus which all join together to make the ankle joint which helps control movement in your foot.The ankle contributes to a lot of lower limb stability which allows humans to run, jump and perform various other activities which require moving.The ankles…

The player suffering the syndesmosis injury is an amateur rugby player aged sixteen years old male and is still in high school. The player is young and puberty is still occurring therefore, growing cartilage is more vulnerable to stresses compared to adults where cartilage has formed (Adirim and Cheng, 2003). This suggests that young adolescents are more susceptible to injury because stresses to growth plates can severely affect coordination and balance, resulting in poor motor skills (Wulf and…
