Pronation

reaching adequate dorsiflexion, and some clinicians even go as far as monitoring and correct subtalar positioning while doing these exercises and stretches, believing that joint positioning will have an effect on the ROM. The positions of either pronation or supination( ankles rolled in or rolled out), change the way the ankle joint is aligned and how the muscles may contract and correct morion to keep a safe neutral ankle position. Considering the talus is the gliding bone within the ankle…

Identify 2 patients on your current caseload. - List their diagnosis and age- List the pt's general goals- List the OT goals. Identify at least 3 interventions you will complete with each patient to help them achieve their goals and their OT goals. Cite one book/journal to support your intervention for that diagnosis or deficit. Below are two patients that I am currently co-treating. I do not currently have my own patients that I am independently treating. Patient #1 Diagnosis- Amputated 2nd…

Line of thinking Root theory: With Dr. Root’s classification of a “normal” foot in mind, We choose to discuss 3 of the 8 criteria of normalacy could be applied to the case study. 1) While it was difficult to observe (due to long pants), the client appeared to be knock-kneed or genu valgum, thus the bisection of the distal third of her lower limb is was not vertical. 2) During midstance she could not maintain neutral position. 3) Finally there rotational influences from the lower limbs present,…

879 patients, with a range of 0.82 to 1.00. This was also noticed for painful ulnar deviation (PUD) in 4 papers studying 394 patients where sensitivity ranged from 0.67 to 1.00. Rhemrev et al studied grip strength and range of motion (supination/pronation and flexion/extension). Both were significantly decreased in patients with a fractured scaphoid compared to those without fractured scaphoids.25 Three studies combined multiple tests to improve diagnostic accuracy. One study combined ASB…

tennis shoe with a removable insole. There are different types of shoe inserts that can be used to support the individual and promote optimal positioning of the foot. For example, an individual that walks on the outsides (supination) or insides (pronation) of their feet, where a small pad can be placed on the bottom of the foot (Wahl, 2006). This is holding the foot in optimal alignment and less stress is placed on the…

Tiedeken and Baratz (2016) stated following surgery, patients are often supplied a Muenster brace, which is typically customized, to limit pronation and supination. However, patients often do not find comfort with this brace, so they may also be offered a cock-up splint to use as an alternative (p. 135). These splints will help to allow the area to heal appropriately before the patient begins…
