Used to assess sensation secondary to nerve laceration
Two-Point discriminator
Time frame to begin controlled AROM after fracture if fixation is stable
3-6 weeks
Fracture of at the first metacarpal base
Bennet's fracture
When is ROM allowed for wrist fractures?
In the early phases of healing and repair. Orthotics are used to protect the extremity from motion or allow for protected motion.
(non-displaced) Can be treated with a long arm sling
Type I radial head fracture
(displaced with a single fragment) Treated non-operatively with immobilization for 2-3 weeks and early motion with medical clearance
Type II radial head fracture
(comminuted) Treated operatively, with immobilization and early motion within the first postoperative week as medically prescribed
Type III radial head fracture
Time frame for ROM after a non-operative fracture of the humerus
As early as 2 weeks as medically prescribed
A ROM protocol consists of aggressive stretching and can begin 4-6 weeks after the fracture as prescribed by a physician for a.....
Fracture of the humerus
The home program for a humeral fracture can include....A sling for comfort and sleeping for the first 6 weeks as neededDevelops after a noxious eventCRPS Type IDevelops after a nerve injuryCRPS Type IISensation misinterpreted as painAllodyniaIncreased response to painful stimuliHyperalgiaPain that continues after the stimuli is removedHyperpathia- Gentle pain-free AROM - Stress loading - Pain control (TENS or splinting) - Edema control (elevation, massage, AROM, contrast baths, and compression) - Desensitization (fluidotherapy) - Blocked exercise (tendon gliding) - Joint protection and energy conservationCRPS treatmentPain after activity, resolves quicklyGrade IPain during activity, resolves when activity stopsGrade IIPain persists after activity, affects work productivity, objective weakness and sensory lossGrade IIIUse of extremity results in pain up to 75% of time, work is limitedGrade IVUnrelenting pain, unable to workGrade VReduction of inflammation and pain through static splinting, ice, contrast baths, ultrasound phonophoresis, iontophoresis, high-voltage electric and interferential stimulationAcute phase of treatment of CTDSlow stretching, myofascial release, progressive resistive exercise as tolerated, proper body mechanics, education on ID of triggers and returning to acute phase treatment with flare ups, static splint during activity that causes painSubacute phase of treatment of CTDAssessment of job site, tools used, and body positioning.
