Correct posture minimizes stress on muscles, bones, and joints while incorrect posture places abnormal stress on these structures. Examine posture with the patient in a static position and in as few clothes as possible to allow an unobstructed view of all postural elements. Postural deviations cannot be recognized as abnormal unless normal posture is identified.
Systematically examine patients who are unconscious for no known reason, proceeding from searching for life-threatening conditions to identifying potential signs and symptoms that may reveal the cause for unconsciousness. Your first goal is to look for unconsciousness and life-threatening conditions by examining vital signs and checking for severe bleeding. Although injuries to the extremities usually do not cause loss of consciousness, these signs may indicate the severity of trauma and ...
Acute soft tissue injuries can result from direct trauma, movements forcing the joint beyond its normal range, and forceful muscle contraction during activity. Sprains of the glenohumeral and acromioclavicular (AC) joint occur more frequently than sternoclavicular (SC) joint sprains. Signs and symptoms of acute rotator cuff injury resulting from these mechanisms include anterolateral shoulder pain, point tenderness, decreased ROM, and loss of strength consistent with the severity of injury.
Travell and Simons (J. G. Travell & Simons, 1983, 1992) and Cyriax (Cyriax, 1977) advocate the use of trigger point injection as an effective method of treatment, but this treatment is neither appropriate nor legal for rehabilitation clinicians. Trigger point treatments using Travell and Simons’ techniques are direct methods. Travell and Simons (J. G. Travell & Simons, 1983) indicated that this technique of applying ice or vapocoolant followed by a stretch was the most effective technique ...
Total knee replacement or arthroplasty (TKR or TKA) is an effective treatment of knee osteoarthritis after other treatment attempts have failed to provide the patient with lasting pain relief. There are three basic components to a total knee prosthesis: the femoral, tibial, and patellar components. Patellar resurfacing includes shaving of the posterior patella surface and attachment of a patellar button on the posterior aspect of the patella (figure 16.3).
Rehabilitation clinicians must make adjustments in the rehabilitation program for younger children. Young patients often do not realize the importance of performing exercises correctly; frequently they focus on completing the exercises as soon as possible rather than performing them correctly or conscientiously. The clinician must instruct the patient and explain cautions about proper execution of the exercises before having the patient perform any exercise with weights.
With the weight transfer, the body rotates 90° as the stride leg flexes at the hip and knee so the pelvis rotates towards the throwing shoulder and the lumbar spine flexes slightly. Shoulder rotation to the target and lateral trunk motion are facilitated by the non-throwing arm’s motion from a position of abduction at the start of late cocking to adduction and extension at the end (Braatz & Gogia, 1987). Acceleration starts with maximum shoulder lateral rotation and abduction and ends ...
