MTST-283 Study Guide - Final Guide: Spinal Disc Herniation, Myositis Ossificans, Diaphragmatic Breathing
Document Summary
Colle"s fracture (aka dinner fork deformity) transverse fx of distal radius and displaces dorsally - foosh. Pott"s fracture violent eversion of ankle = fx of fib and an avulsion fx of med malleolus by the deltoid ligament. Mid-range pf prom to prox and distal sites. Arom, mld, light petrissage, jt play, pf passive relaxed stretch. Passive hyperextension of fingers and toes to test. Compartment syndrome, nerve comp, vascular damage, infection, dvt, pressure sores, cast dermatitis, loose cast syndrome. Delayed union, non-union, malunion, myositis ossificans, necrosis, ischemic contracture, disuse osteoporosis. Reduce stiffness, pain, edema, spasm, increase rom, reduce inflame. Diaphragmatic breathing, consider positioning mods, deep moist heat, essential oils. Arom/prom, active free flexion, with post/posterolat herniations with contained annular fibres flexion is limited. Acute injuries: protrusion (annular fibres intact, herniation: prolapse (outermost annulus fibres), Hydro, self-traction, gentle pf strengthening, better posture. Acute l post nuclear derangement: prone for 10 min, then arms overhead.
