Sciatic nerve
Piriformis compresses
C. Maintain prescribed WB status
Which consideration is most important for healing ORIF?
C. Bilateral mini squats and standing
A patient 8 days s/p ACL, which exercise is correct?
C. anterior pelvic tilt
What would be a right hip flexion contracture?
More susceptible to injury
What does it mean if a patient has a conservative management (no surgery)?
B. Pulling the theraband from medial to lateral
Which of the exercises listed would you use for dynamic stability of the ankle in
a patient with a lateral ligament sprain?
Terrible Triad
ACL, MCL, medial meniscal tear
, Isometrics
sub-maximal isometrics held 6 sec to affecte area
use during acute joint inflammation and progress to active exercise as tolerated
Acute exercise and strengthening
research has shown strong muscles decrease load on joints and should be
encouraged
heavy loads tend to be avoided in acute arthritis
Aquatic exercise
encourage participation in aquatic exercise routines for ROM, strengthening and
aerobic exercise due to decreased joint loading
Precautions of exercises in RA patients
avoid stretching which creates more stress on the bones in steroid-treated
patients, such as prednisone (no tendons & ligaments)
Contraindications of exercises in RA patients
-when the joints are inflamed, avoid stretching
-joint effusion may limit movement
-overstretching of a joint, hypermobility can result as the effusion clears
Medications for RA
