‭MSK III‬ ‭117‬ ‭Lec 9 - start of quiz 3‬ ‭Diagnosis –‬‭review from lumbar spine‬ ‭ hese categories have been defined by the‬‭ICF‬‭based‬‭on impairments and by the‬‭Treatment‬ T ‭Based Classification‬‭system based on which treatments‬‭are effective.‬ ‭Remember that we have decided this patient should NOT be referred for possible serious‬ ‭disease/injury.‬ ‭What is causing the Pain?‬ ‭‬ A ‭ fter Red Flags have been ruled out, the PT is often trying to determine which is the‬ ‭dominant pain mechanism?‬ ‭‬ ‭PTs often jump to joints and muscles as dominant pain mechanisms.‬ ‭○‬ ‭However, great deal of evidence suggests more complexity.‬ ‭‬ ‭One approach (DeWitte, 2014, Manual Therapy) is to categorize dominant pain mechanism‬ ‭into the following:‬ ‭1.‬‭Input:‬‭pain cause by input to the system‬ ‭a.‬ ‭Nociceptive pain:‬‭strains + sprains + inflammation‬‭of tissue cause firing of nociceptors.‬ ‭i.‬ ‭Achy, sharp; typical post traumatic pain, type of pain we spend the most time on‬ ‭b.‬ ‭Neurogenic pain:‬‭injury to a‬‭nerve‬‭such that the nerve‬‭itself becomes a source of pain.‬ ‭i.‬ ‭May include a nerve that is inflamed due to compression,‬ ‭ii.‬ ‭typically presenting with‬‭pins and needles.‬ ‭iii.‬ ‭more complex, team approach, more time‬ ‭2. Processing‬ ‭a.‬ ‭Central sensitization:‬‭hypersensitivity‬‭to low level‬‭stimuli.‬ ‭i.‬ ‭True physiological changes in the brain lead to increased pain perception.‬ ‭b.‬ ‭Cognitive affective mechanisms:‬‭perception of pain‬‭related to‬‭thoughts and emotions‬ ‭i.‬ ‭often occurs simultaneously with central sensitization‬ ‭3.‬‭Output:‬‭pain caused by ongoing output of the system‬ ‭a.‬ ‭Autonomic regional pain syndrome, e.g., CRPS‬ ‭i.‬ ‭not common but could happen after trauma/surgery‬ ‭b.‬ ‭Motor, e.g., compensatory movements that perpetuate pain‬ ‭.g. if you approach someone with a processing problem as though they were an input‬ E ‭problem, you might increase their pain. For example, if you treat someone whose primary problem‬ ‭is‬‭fear-avoidance (cognitive affective)‬‭as though‬‭they were an input problem, you are unlikely‬ ‭to be successful in helping them.‬ ‭NOTE: Although much of our focus in this class is on input pain problems, in particular, on a‬ ‭model of biomechanics of articular dysfunction and muscle dysfunction. That is NOT because most‬ ‭patients have these kinds of problems but because those are areas requiring more time to learn the‬ ‭requisite skills. With clinical practice you will discover patterns that mix these dominant pain‬ ‭mechanisms and treat all parts of the patient appropriately.‬ ‭MSK III‬ ‭118‬ ‭HEADACHES‬ ‭Types (*All based on the 1988 HIS classification based on history and behavior of the headache)‬ ‭1.‬ ‭Migraine | 2.

There is also evidence that spinal‬ ‭manipulation is effective in the short term when compared to massage or placebo spinal‬ ‭manipulation, and weaker evidence when compared to spinal mobilization (Bronfort et al 2004,‬ ‭Dunning et al 2016).‬ ‭Use the following general guidelines to help you make a clinical decision about the‬ ‭PRIMARY focus of your interventions. Remember:‬ ‭You must address inflammation + pain FIRST as necessary:‬ ‭‬ ‭Taping | Modalities | Soft tissue mobilization‬ ‭‬ ‭Education about rest, activity modification, posture, sleep‬ ‭MSK III‬ ‭120‬ ‭You MUST have‬‭mobility‬‭before exercises focusing on strength‬ ‭‬ ‭Soft tissue mobilization‬ ‭‬ ‭Joint mobs—‬‭in particular,‬‭remember that thoracic mobilization/manipulations‬‭can‬ ‭help cervical pain‬ ‭Establish‬‭motor control‬‭BEFORE‬‭focusing purely on‬‭strength‬ ‭‬ ‭Movement w/o compensations, normal motion, start small, with no‬ ‭resistance—AROM is ok‬ ‭Focus on strength as necessary‬ ‭‬ ‭Typically, endurance‬‭in the cervical spine.‬ ‭○‬ ‭But can use‬‭gravity or weights‬‭as resistance‬ ‭‬ ‭Do not forget about the scapular and RTC muscles‬ ‭What about postural training?‬ ‭‬ ‭Posture relies on mobility, motor control, and strength (primarily endurance).‬ ‭‬ ‭It is OK to begin postural training early, but understand that lack of mobility will limit the‬ ‭patient’s ability to assume certain postures.‬ ‭‬ ‭IT DEPENDS → depends on the person and what they have been doing‬ ‭PRAGMATIC vs‬‭PRESCRIPTIVE‬‭DESIGNS FOR MANUAL THERAPY‬ ‭Roenz et al, 2018 – SR and MA (Prescriptive →‬‭means‬‭you do it exactly the same on every‬ s‭ ingle pt, every single day for standardization; good internal validity but not good external‬ ‭validit‬‭y)‬ ‭‬ S ‭ tudies using a‬‭prescriptive approach found‬‭manipulation‬‭> mobilization‬‭at most‬ ‭time points for individuals with‬‭neck and low back‬‭pain.‬ ‭○‬ ‭Design type is not necessarily representative of clinical practice‬‭+ removes‬ ‭any clinical decision making →‬‭impacts the effect‬‭of either mobilization or‬ ‭manipulation.‬ ‭‬ ‭When clinicians had a choice in the manual therapy + segment targeted for‬ ‭treatment → no difference‬‭b/w mobilization + manipulation‬‭for neck or low back pain.‬ ‭‬ ‭When mobs is performed using pragmatic (real world) approaches it may be just‬ ‭as effective as manipulation.‬ ‭MSK III‬ ‭121‬ ‭Framework for Interventions for Improving Motor Control‬ ‭‬ ‭Efficient movement - satisfying task requirements via‬‭coordinated progression of motor‬ ‭control‬‭.‬ ‭‬ ‭Mobility MUST come before controlled mobility‬ ‭○‬ ‭if joint doesn’t move (due to stiffness or weakness) → skilled movement can’t occur.‬ ‭‬ ‭Proximal stability generally before distal mobility‬ ‭○‬ ‭e.g., trunk control is needed before efficient arm or hand use.‬ ‭○‬ ‭Exceptions exist‬‭– some pts may perform distal tasks‬‭(e.g., feeding) using‬ ‭compensation before achieving full proximal stability.‬ ‭‬ ‭Compensations (e.g., straps, devices)‬‭when necessary‬‭for task participation‬ ‭○‬ ‭restoring proximal control‬‭should remain a focus.‬ ‭‬ ‭Progression model‬ ‭○‬ ‭Mobility → proximal stability → weight shifting → stepping → complexity‬ ‭(e.g., dual tasks like walking while manipulating objects)‬ ‭‬ ‭Evaluate the patient’s movement based on task needs:‬ ‭○‬ ‭Do they have adequate‬‭joint‬‭mobility‬‭?‬ ‭○‬ ‭Do they demonstrate‬‭proximal stability‬‭?‬ ‭○‬ ‭Can they‬‭weight shift‬‭+‬‭position limbs‬‭functionally?‬ ‭○‬ ‭Can they‬‭progress in gait‬‭or‬‭perform dual tasks‬‭?‬ ‭○‬ ‭Interventions should‬‭target the missing components‬‭critical to achieving‬ ‭coordination and skilled movement‬‭.‬ ‭‬ ‭Mobility (both passive + active)‬ ‭○‬ ‭Definition‬‭:‬‭sufficient motor unit activity‬‭to initiate‬‭a contraction AND‬‭available‬ ‭mobility‬‭(articular, soft tissue, neural, fascial,‬‭etc) for the movement in question.‬ ‭○‬ ‭Passive mobility is required prior to active mobility.‬ ‭○‬ ‭The‬‭pre-requisites for attaining a posture or position.‬ ‭○‬ ‭e.g.‬ ‭‬ ‭1. Talar mobility is necessary for neutral dorsiflexion and must be present‬ ‭for efficient stability in standing‬ ‭‬ ‭2. Glenohumeral mobility is necessary for shoulder flexion to occur and‬ ‭therefore must be present for efficient reaching‬ ‭‬ ‭3. Trunk mobility for a neutral sitting posture must be present for efficient‬ ‭static balance in sitting or standing‬ ‭MSK III‬ ‭122‬ ‭‬ ‭Stability‬ ‭○‬ ‭Definition‬‭: ability to maintain a‬‭steady position‬‭in a weight bearing‬‭or‬ ‭anti-gravity posture; co- contraction around a joint or a body segment;‬‭static‬ ‭postural control.‬‭The ability to maintain‬‭one’s BOS‬‭over the COG‬‭statically.‬ ‭○‬ ‭e.g.,‬ ‭ ‬ 1‭. Stability/co-contraction at the hip/pelvis girdle → efficient stance‬ ‭‬ ‭2. Stability/co-contraction at the trunk → efficient static sitting or standing‬ ‭posture‬ ‭‬ ‭3. the ability to actively stabilize the shoulder girdle complex → efficient‬ ‭function of the UE‬ ‭‬ C ‭ ontrolled Mobility‬ ‭○‬ ‭Definition‬‭: ability to‬‭change positions while maintaining‬‭stability proximally‬ ‭‬ ‭dynamic stability‬‭- when moving the body while maintaining‬‭stability‬ ‭ ‬ ‭maintaining balance and control during movement‬ ‭ ‬ ‭controlled mobility‬‭- ability to shift weight within‬‭a posture or between‬ ‭postures‬‭(controlled mobility involves the ability‬‭to move efficiently and‬ ‭smoothly within a joint's range of motion)‬ ‭‬ ‭can mean either the ability to stabilize proximally while moving‬ ‭distally or movement of proximal joints over fixed distal‬ ‭components.‬ ‭○‬ ‭It begins to challenge balance reactions as it requires a shift of COG over the BOS.‬ ‭○‬ ‭e.g.:‬ ‭ ‬ ‭1. Transitioning from STS‬ ‭‬ ‭2. Weight shifting in quadruped or in half-kneeling or in standing‬ ‭ ‬ ‭Static-Dynamic‬‭(a transitional step between controlled‬‭mobility and skill):‬ ‭○‬ ‭Definition‬‭: ability to lift a previously weight bearing‬‭component further‬ ‭challenging balance + equilibrium reactions from the controlled mobility level‬ ‭‬ ‭BOS + number of supporting joints ↓ as the individual lifts a previously‬ ‭weight bearing extremity ↑ challenge to dynamic stability‬ ‭○‬ ‭e.g.,:‬ ‭‬ ‭1. Quadruped – lifting one upper extremity or one lower extremity (this‬ ‭happens in preparation for the skill or crawling)‬ ‭‬ ‭2. Standing – lifting one lower extremity (this happens in preparation for‬ ‭stepping and walking)‬ ‭‬ ‭3. Moving an upper extremity in space (this happens in preparation for‬ ‭using the UE to interact with or manipulate items in the environment)‬ ‭MSK III‬ ‭123‬ ‭‬ ‭Skill‬ ‭○‬ ‭Defintion‬‭:‬‭highly coordinated movements‬‭that allow‬‭for interaction with the‬ ‭environment‬ ‭‬ ‭being able to manipulate items in the environment or being able to‬ ‭locomote (crawl, walk)‬ ‭‬ ‭movement of distal components over dynamically stable proximal‬ ‭components.‬ ‭‬ ‭Coordination, timing, sequencing occur at this level.‬ ‭○‬ ‭E.g.,:‬ ‭‬ ‭1. Crawling‬ ‭‬ ‭2. Walking‬ ‭‬ ‭3. Picking up a glass and bringing it to one’s mouth‬ ‭‬ ‭4.
