  • ACL rupture - knee graft
      • patellar tendon - sensitive pain on anterior patella
      • hamstring - protect the hamstrings post surgery
    • recovery is similar otherwise
    • ? Physical therapy's purpose prior to surgery
      • lengthening the extensor muscles
    • Physical therapy routine post surgery 
    • Most surgeons keep patients locked out post surgery, some are starting to unlock immediately
  • Good morning exercises
    • dead lift like exercise with bar racked behind shoulders
  • ? Sitting versus standing
    • effect on exercises' form and muscles used

  • New eval 
    • gait analysis
      • rigid upper body
      • significant pelvic rotation
      • small steps
    • weak abdominal
    • outer hip abducters
    • posterior hip extensors
      • lack of hip flexion causes rotation of hips to cheat the movement
  • ?Traction - Purpose?
  • inflamed femoral patellar joint
  • ? 3 partial squat ? 
    • deep squat, low squat, middle squat
  • ? pain @ night/morning/rest 
    • non musculoskeletal - red flag, go see a pain/neural specialist
    • musculoskeletal - inflammatory joint stiffens over rest
  • IT band friction syndrome - The iliotibial band gets inflamed and causes friction and it causes more inflammation
    • previous back problems
      • pelvic is common factor
  • ? Airplanes - how to correct form?
  • ? PTA school?

  • Referred pain - can you touch the pain 
    • if yes, = not referred
    • if no = referred
  • referred groin pain often from hip degeneration
  • lumbar spine extension - lordosis (vs kyefosis)
  • muscle cramps 
    • hamstring
    • active insufficiency - a bi articulate skeletal muscle that cannot shorten enough to complete the full range of motion across both joints
    • passive insufficiency -  a bi articulate skeletal muscle that cannot lengthen enough to complete the full range of motion across both joints
  • pelvic rotation and bridge exercises 
    • anterior rotation of pelvis reduces lordosis in lumbar spine, preventing cheating while hip extensions/strengthening
  • spondelolesthesis - L5 (usually) slides forward on top of the sacrum (s1) (common in dancers and gymnasts) 
  • shoulder flexion + abduction
    • humerus head depresses and posteriorly rotates
    • teres minor, teres major, infraspinatus, subscapularis
    • compound movements with multi planar movements
  • balances - propioception (static place in space), kinesthetic (dynamic), vestibular, ochular, visual
  • Orthothics

  • Ke - shoulder injury, softball player
  • ? Pain sensations? - burning sensations?
    • one legged diagonal - hip external rotation - incorporates core into exercise
  • airplane/pelvic exercises - tendency to externally rotate 
    • weakness and stability - glutes, hip abductors, core
    • address first before progression
  • tight muscles are weak muscles
    • ? loose muscles are weak as well?
  • Posterior muscles of the neck ?
    • Trapezium, splenius capitis, splenius cervicis, semispinalis capitis, semisplinalis cervicis, 
  • longer lever arm = increased torque
    • laying suppine, legs extended creates increased torque on the spine, wedge underneath knees to adjust
  • Arthritic change in spine - water bbetween disc degenerates, shortens length of spine, affects s curve
  • massage - constant pressure - releases the muscle
  • I's and T's exercises
    • prone reverse flys
  • ear to shoulder stretch
