Study Notes
Patella Mobilization
- Distal glide increases flexion.
- Superior glide increases extension.
- Medial glide and medial tilt correct lateral patellar displacement.
Scapula Mobilization
- Sidelying position is used for scapular mobilization.
- Protraction/retraction, anterior/posterior tilt, upward/downward rotation are mobilized.
- Mobilization can be done during patient movement for assisted treatment.
Stretching Contraindications (Grade III & IV)
- Hypermobility.
- Joint effusion.
- Inflammation.
- Excessive pain or resistance.
- Empty end feels and severe multidirectional spasms (possible serious pathology).
- Conditions weakening the patient (osteoporosis, infection).
Documentation (Including ICF)
- Include comments related to medical necessity/reason for skilled intervention.
- Differentiate between Physical Therapist (PT) and Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) responsibilities.
- SOAP notes should include essential information for gait, transfers, physical agents, exercises, and other interventions.
ICF Elements
- Impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions.
- Body structure vs. body function.
- Environmental and personal contextual factors.
Soft Tissue Mobilization (Massage)
- Indications, contraindications, and benefits.
- Contraindications include congestive heart failure and kidney disease.
