Introduction
• Designing the program can be a challenge• What is an appropriate starting point?• ROM, strengthening, stretching?
• WHERE DO I START???????
![Page 3: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Any good rehab program begins with a thorough EVALUATION
• This can be through the HOPS format: history, observation, palpation, special tests
![Page 4: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Medical History
• Key component of the eval• Must be comprehensive• Past and current dysfunctions• In an athletic setting, this is usually part of the
pre-participation physical exam
![Page 5: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Subjective History• Most important part of initial eval• Allows you to rule out many problems• Onset of pain• Location• Mechanism of injury (MOI)• Patient goals• Previous treatments• Activities that aggravate and alleviate pain• Past history/social history
![Page 6: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Keep patient focused on immediate problem• No tangents• Mechanism-guide to activities to avoid • Avoid aggravating activities in early stages• Activities that alleviate pain (modalities and
meds) may be included as a part of the rehab process
• Past history-investigate additional contributors• Social history – guides home program• Previous treatments-what has and hasn’t worked• Goals-importance of the patient
![Page 7: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Objective
• -visual inspection• Range of motion• Strength testing• Special tests• Proprioceptive tests• Neurological exam
![Page 8: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Visual Inspection
• Postural assessment• Gait biomechanics• Functional performance biomechanics
![Page 9: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Posture
• Assessed in all cases to determine abnormalities contributing to patient’s dysfunction
• Direct contributors- factors that cause the problem (forward head posture in a patient with cervical disk herniation)
• Indirect contributors-factors that contribute but are not the main contributor (rounded shoulders in a throwing athlete with impingement)
![Page 10: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Gait and Functional Performance Biomechanics
• Overuse injuries of the lower extremity• Based on patient’s activity
![Page 11: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Additional Information
• Deformity• Discoloration• Swelling• Atrophy• Skin conditions• Wounds• scars
![Page 12: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Palpation
• Determines involved tissues• Soft and bony tissues• Point tenderness• Deformity• Crepitus• Rigidity• Heat • Muscle spasm
![Page 13: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Range of Motion
• Active and Passive• Quality and quantity• Presence of pain, faulty mechanics,
substitution patterns, muscle weakness• Cyriax’s rule• Measured with a goniometer
![Page 14: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Flexibility Testing
• Information regarding the “cause of the cause”
![Page 15: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Joint Mobility Testing
• Hypo versus hypermobility• Addressed through taping and bracing or
surgical repair• Hypomobility – managed through ROM
exercises, stretching, joint mobilization and dynamic splinting
![Page 16: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Strength Testing
• Manual muscle testing • MMT’s performed isometrically• Ability to test a single muscle• Disadvantage – you are only evaluating
strength at one point
![Page 17: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Strength Testing
• Resistive range of motion testing• Allows patient to move through a portion of the
range against an external resistance• Tests are more functional• However, pain can be generated by contractile or
inert tissues• Does not allow for isolation testing• Helps assess muscle fatigue with repeated tesing• Avoid if AROM causes pain
![Page 18: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Special Tests
• Testing of joints or other structures• Reveals pain, instability, tissue tightness or
neurological symptoms• Can determine the used of weight bearing or
non-weight bearing activities in the early stages of rehab
• More helpful in providing the diagnosis than guiding the rehab program
![Page 19: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Proprioceptive Testing
• Unconscious or conscious awareness of body or joint position
• “Where you are in space”• Measured by balance testing• Single leg stance, wobble boards, foam
cushions, foam rollers
![Page 20: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Neurological Examination
• CNS and PNS function• Dermatome testing • Myotome testing• Reflex testing
![Page 21: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Myotome Assessment
• MMT’s for specific muscles• Focuses on weakness rather than pain• Decreased strength in the absence of a muscle
injury is an indicator of spinal nerve root or CNS dysfunction
![Page 22: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Reflex Testing
• Spinal nerve root or CNS injury• Measured using a 3-point scale• 0- no reflex• 1-hyporeflexive• 2-normal• 3- hyperreflexive
![Page 23: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Joint Specific Testing
• Girth measurements • Limb-length assessments
![Page 24: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Girth Measurements
• Using a tape measure • Comparing two joints• Provides info regarding tissue edema, muscle
hypertrophy and atrophy• Edema – compression and elevation• Hypertrophy – muscle imbalance• Atrophy-need for strengthening in the plan
![Page 25: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Limb-Length Measurements
• Small differences are common• Differences greater than 7mm have been
shown to alter gait mechanics and predispose athletes to overuse injuries
• Congenital abnormalities in bone growth• Faulty bone healing• Could lead to a heel lift or foot orthoses as a
part of the treatment plan
![Page 26: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Clinical Pearl of Wisdom
Although the Diagnosis is one of the most important
parts of the evaluative process, it does not
describe the actual cause
![Page 27: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Determining the Diagnosis
• Important for medical decoding and 3rd party reimbursement
• ICD-9 code – developed by the World Health Organization, is used by insurance companies to reimburse (get paid) for rehabilitation services
• CPT codes-Current Procedural Terminology, must match with the diagnosis in order to be reimbursed
![Page 28: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Documentation
• SOAP format• Subjective• Objective• Assessment• Plan
![Page 29: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Subjective and Objective
• Paint a picture of the patient for other health professionals to follow
![Page 30: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Assessment
• Made up of three parts– Diagnosis– Problem list– Treatment goals
![Page 31: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Diagnosis
• Most difficult for students or inexperienced clinicians
• The result of all your questions and tests
![Page 32: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Formulating a Problem
• Compilation of all the abnormal findings• From the subjective and objective part of the
eval• Each one added to problem list within the
assessment portion of the note• Each one representing a “cause of the cause”
![Page 33: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Treatment Goals
• Guides treatment plan• Justification for continued treatment• Based on problem list• Divided into short term and long term
![Page 34: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Formulating a Comprehensive Treatment and Rehabilitation Plan
• Each problem is paired with a goal• Ex: Pain- modalities, rest, joint mobilization– Edema – modalities, compression, elevation– Postural problems-patient education, biofeedback• Stretching• Strengthening• Muscular endurance• Bracing and taping
![Page 35: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Incorporating Therapeutic Modalities
• Cryotherapy• Thermotherapy• Electrotherapy• Ultrasound• Iontophoresis• Soft tissue mobilization
![Page 43: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Re-evaluating the Patient
• Just as important as the initial eval• Done at each appointment• Multiple times during the session• Don’t add more than two exercises per session
![Page 44: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Critical Thinking
• How do your findings from the medical history impact the design of the treatment and rehabilitation plan?
![Page 45: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Critical Thinking
• How will your goals and treatment plans change when rehabilitating a collegiate golfer with medial epicondylitis versus a factory worker with the same condition? How will your approach vary in motivating your patient to reach their goals?
![Page 46: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Critical Thinking
• What other individuals will you include in the evaluation and rehabilitation process of the golfer and factory worker to identify the “cause of the cause”?
![Page 47: Ch. 1 Introduction to Designing a Rehabilitation Program](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050821/5681667d550346895dda2555/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Critical Thinking
• A patient comes to you with a complaint of heel pain that increases with activity. Would your assessment of the patient differ according to age? If so, how? What could be some different conditions based on age (adolescent vs. senior)?
