Study Notes

Wound Closure

  • Tendon and ligament wound closure typically occurs within 3 to 5 weeks.

Mechanical Properties

  • A sudden decrease in stress while strain continues to rise indicates a failure point.

Normal End-Feels

  • Bone on bone
  • Soft tissue approximation
  • Tissue stretch

Pain Sensitivity

  • Allodynia refers to the phenomenon where non-painful stimuli now cause pain.

Sensory Receptors

  • Pacinian corpuscles are located in deeper layers of capsules and ligaments, detecting pressure and vibration.

Hypermobility Characteristics

  • Increased segmental mobility with full general spine mobility (limited if muscle guarding present).
  • Pain arises from prolonged stretching.
  • Muscle stiffness follows prolonged stretching but is alleviated by exercise or movement.
  • Tenderness is found in accessible ligaments.
  • Joint may be prone to locking.

Hypomobility Characteristics

  • Loss of both physiological and accessory motion at the affected segment.
  • Increased pain at end-range and tissue texture abnormalities.
  • Presence of positional faults.

Shoulder Positions

  • The closed-packed position of the shoulder is achieved with abduction and external rotation.
  • The resting shoulder position is at 55 degrees abduction and 30 degrees horizontal adduction.

Red Flags in Clinical Assessment

  • Non-mechanical pain may indicate serious conditions.
  • History of malignancy within the past 2 years is a concern.
  • Onset of back pain in older age without prior symptoms serves as a red flag.

Pain Reactivity

  • High reactivity, or irritability, occurs when pain is experienced before restriction.

Longissimus Thoracis Actions

  • Unilateral action leads to side bending; bilateral action results in extension.

Thoracolumbar Fascia Function

  • Covers back muscles to prevent dorsal displacement.
  • Provides stability for the low back.
  • Deep fascia anchors spinous processes to the ilia.

L3 Pain Distribution

  • Associated with pain in the greater trochanter, distal anterior thigh, and medial side of the knee.

Facet Impingement

  • Characterized by restricted extension, side bending, and rotation toward the opposite side.

L5 Innervation

  • Cutaneous innervation includes lateral leg, anterior foot area, and first two toes.
  • Reflex is absent; myotome includes extensor hallucis longus and gluteus medius.

Sacral Stability

  • The Long Dorsal Ligament helps prevent counternutation of the sacrum.

Lumbar Spine Ligaments

  • The Posterior Longitudinal Ligament primarily restricts flexion.

Cervical Range of Motion

  • C0-C1 range of motion: Flexion 5°, Extension 10°, minimal rotation and sidebend 5°.

Lumbar Capsular Pattern

  • Exhibits symmetrical limitation in rotation and side bending, with significant restriction in extension; flexion remains relatively unaffected.

Tectorial Membrane Limits

  • Limits flexion, extension, and vertical translation of the cervical spine.

Atlanto-Occipital Connection

  • Ligaments connecting C2 with the occiput include the tectorial membrane, alar ligament, and apical ligament.

Cervical Ligament Anatomy

  • The posterior atlanto-axial ligament connects C1 and C2, resembling the yellow ligament.

OA Sidebending Arthrokinematics

  • Right OA side bending involves lateral, posterior, and superior movement of left CO, resulting in conjunct left rotation.

Joint and Tissue Structures

  • The manubriosternal junction consists of synchondrosis tissue.

Collagen Fiber Stretch Limits

  • Collagen fibers can be stretched up to 6-8% of their original length before failure.

Tibial Condylar Shape

  • Medial tibial condyle is bi-concave; lateral condyle is concave medial-lateral and convex anterior-posterior.

Medial Meniscus Attachments

  • Connects to capsular fibers, intercondylar fossa, meniscopatellar fibers, transverse ligament, semimembranosus fibers, as well as fibers from ACL and MCL.

De Quervain's Disease

  • A tenosynovitis affecting the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis tendons.

Hip Capsular Pattern

  • The capsular pattern of the hip features limitation in flexion, abduction, and internal rotation.
