Goals

  • Importance of expectation
  • What to expect from Rehab
  • Common interventions in Physical Therapy
  • Top Sports Cases

– Anterior knee pain – Ankle injury

Why is Expectation Important?

  • Factors relating to patient expectations are associated with

both clinical outcomes, satisfaction with treatment, and influence of behavior.1

  • Health care expectations can be positive or negative
  • Most commonly defined as the general belief a clinical
  • utcome will occur.1

Relationship Between Expectation and Musculoskeletal Pain

  • Clinical studies have demonstrated an association between predicted

expectation and outcomes related to the management of musculoskeletal pain conditions for: – total joint arthroplasty2 – chronic pain3 – neck pain4 – shoulder pain5 – low back pain6,7,8

  • These studies demonstrate that outcomes don’t depend solely on the

type of treatment provided, but also on individual attitudes and beliefs regarding the treatment.1

6

So What Should the MD Expect?

  • Good initial evaluation

– Detailed subjective – Key physical exam components that are hands on and objectively measured – A timely report back

  • Treatments that address key areas

– Improving mobility of injured area and surround areas – Movement retraining – Strength and flexibility training

  • Outcome measures that are functional for the individual with normative

data.

What Your Patient Should Expect?

  • Listening to “their” story, how they were injured, what their limitations

are, what they can still do and what they want to get back to…EXPECTATIONS.

  • Hands on Evaluation, even over or at areas of pain. They should not

expect to be pushed into pain.

  • Functional assessment, how do they walk/move? How is their

balance? What is their range?

  • Goals that take into account what the patient wants!

8

What Your Patient Should Expect?

  • Treatments addressing all of the deficits found, this

includes: – Soft tissue mobility, joint mobility – Strength and power training – Movement retraining – Functional training – Sport specific training

  • Education and homework designed specifically for them

Common Treatments in Rehab

  • Joint mobilization
  • Soft tissue mobilization
  • Strength training
  • Proprioceptive training
  • Functional/Movement training

10

Joint Mobility9

  • What is it?

– A skilled passive movement of the articular surfaces to decrease pain and increased joint movement

  • Why do it?

– Attempting to: – Turn off nociceptors and decrease pain through Pain Gate Theory – Improve joint hypomobility of capsular origin

Soft Tissue Mobility10

  • What is it and why do it?

– Skilled hand movement intended to produce any or all of the following effects: – Improve tissue extensibility – Increase range of motion of the joint complex – Mobilize or manipulate soft tissues and joints – Induce relaxation – Change muscle function – Modulate pain – Reduce soft tissue swelling, inflammation or movement restriction

12

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobility

  • What is it and why do it?

– Skilled treatment using a tool to detect and treat fascial restrictions, encourage rapid localization and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis, chronic inflammation or degeneration. – Can be performed with handheld tool or cups to perform Myofascial Decompression. – These instruments break down fascial restrictions and scar tissue – Promotes fully functional tissue.

Strength Training11

  • What is it?

– Isolated strength training for injured muscles or general major muscle exercise programs.

  • Why do it?

– Addresses injuries to the musculoskeletal system that results in skeletal muscle hypotrophy and weakness, loss of aerobic capacity and fatigability.

14

Proprioceptive Training

  • What is it?

– A special type of training targeting the sensations of the deep organs and of the relationship between muscles and joints.11

  • Why do it?

– Loss of proprioception occurs with injuries to ligaments, tendons, or joints, and also with immobilization.12

15

Functional/Movement Training

  • What is it?

– Movements based on real-world situational

  • biomechanics. Involves multi-planar, multi-joint

movements which place demand on the body’s musculature and innervation.

  • Why do it?

– Rehab must take into account and reproduce the activities and movements required when the patient returns to all their previous activities.11 – Optimize movement efficiency

16

Stages of Rehab

  • Stage 1

– Protection, Mobilization, Walking – Typically lasts 4-6 days – Goals in this phase are to: – Limit tissue damage – Pain relief – Control inflammatory response to injury – Protection of injured area

17

Stages of Rehab

  • Stage 2

– Open/closed kinetic chain exercises and Proprioceptive training – Lasts from day 5 to 8-10 weeks – Goals of this phase: – Joint range of motion and muscle conditioning – Early motion promotes optimal alignment of collagen fibers – Promotes tissue mobility

18

Stages of Rehab

  • Stage 3

– Sport specific drills and reconditioning – Lasts from about day 21 to 6-12 months – Goals for this phase: – The start of conditioning process needed to return to full function. – Identify and correct risk factors – Reduce the possibility of re-injury

Stages of Rehab

  • Stage 4

– Maintenance and prevention of re-injury – Relevant for athletes – Goals in this phase: – Transition of strengthening exercises to sport specific activity – Return to Sport

20

Top Sports Cases– How it Really Works

  • Anterior Knee Pain

– Initial Phase: – Restore motion and reduce swelling – Soft tissue mobilization and patellofemoral joint mobilization as required effleurage – Remote strengthening, glutes and core – Gentle Stretching – Taping

21

Top Sports Cases– How it Really Works

  • Anterior Knee Pain

– Intermediate Phase: – Local strengthening: – Quadriceps and hamstrings to address any atrophy – Advance core and gluteal strengthening – Soft tissue to maintain mobility of joint and remodeling soft tissue; deep tissue and MFD – Proprioceptive training to enhance neuromuscular control – Functional training – Squat progression – Gait training

22

Top Sports Cases– How it Really Works

  • Anterior Knee Pain

– Advanced Stage

– Initiate conditioning program – Advanced strengthening and movement training to remodel and create resiliency in new tissue and address mechanical/positional faults – Plyometric training – Agility training – Soft tissue and joint mobilization to maintain proper functioning. – Sport specific training

23

Top Sports Cases – How it Really Works

  • Ankle Sprain

– Initial Phase:

– Restore motion and reduce swelling at ankle – Soft tissue mobilization, effleurage – ROM – Remote strengthening, glutes and core – Glutes are secondary supporter of ankle position – Gentle Stretching – Taping – Brace wear

24

Top Sports Cases – How it Really Works

  • Ankle Sprain

– Intermediate Phase: – Local strengthening to Ankle stabilizers to address any atrophy – Advance core and gluteal strengthening – Soft tissue to maintain mobility of joint and remodeling soft tissue; deep tissue and MFD for limited tissues – Joint mobilization to improve dorsiflexion and dynamic balance – Proprioceptive training to enhance neuromuscular control – Functional training – Squat progression addressing WB issues – Gait training

How to Set-up Success

  • Find a physical therapist you trust and understand how

they treat.

  • Communicate with the physical therapist
  • Prepare for Physical Therapy

– Help set expectations for those who have never been to Physical Therapy before – Help reset expectations for patients who have been disappointed with Physical Therapy before.

  • This way, you and the patient Expect the Expected.
