🔴Tests for Tennis elbow🔴
👉*1. Palpating*
Sit with your forearm extended out in front of you on a table. Apply gentle pressure to examine your lateral epicondyle and the area above it. Note any areas of pain, tenderness, or swelling.
👉2. The coffee cup test
For this test, simply rate your level of pain while grasping a cup of coffee or a carton of milk.
👉*3. Resistance*
Extend your affected arm straight out in front of you with your palm facing down.
Place your opposite hand on the back of your extended hand. Press your top hand into your bottom hand and attempt to bend the bottom wrist backward. Create resistance by pressing the top hand against the bottom one.
*👉4. Middle finger resistance*
Extend your affected arm straight out in front of you with your palm facing upward. Use your opposite hand to pull your middle finger back toward your forearm. At the same time, use your middle finger to resist this movement. Next, turn your palm to face downward. Press your middle finger down while at the same time resisting this movement.
👉5. Chair pickup test
You’ll need a light chair with a high back for this test. Stand with a chair in front of you. Extend your affected arm straight out in front of you. Bend your wrist so your fingers face downward. Use your thumb, first finger, and middle finger to grasp the back of the chair and lift it. Keep your arm straight as you raise the chair.
👉6. Mill’s test
Do this test with a doctor. While seated, straighten your affected arm. The doctor will fully flex your wrist to bend it forward. Then they’ll rotate your forearm inward while examining your lateral epicondyle.
👉7. Cozen’s test
Do this test with a doctor. Cozen’s test is sometimes referred to as the resisted wrist extension test or the resistive tennis elbow test.Extend your affected arm in front of you and make a fist. Rotate your forearm inward and bend your wrist toward your forearm. The Dr. will examine your lateral epicondyle while resisting the movement of hand.

ACL INJURY MANAGEMENT:

🔸️Treatment right after an injury:
✔R.I.C.E (Rest Ice Compression Elevation)
First aid to reduce swelling and pain. This may include resting the knee, applying ice, using gentle compression with an elastic bandage, elevating the leg.
✔Using crutches or splint in the first few days.
✔Range-of-motion exercises to regain your full knee motion
✔Muscle-strengthening and stability exercises

🔸️Non-surgical treatment
✔Braces
* Rehabilitation Brace
* Functional Brace
Physical Exercise:
✔Exercise (after swelling decreases and weight-bearing progresses)
a) Bridging exercise to strengthen leg muscles, gluteus and knee joint.
b) Bridging with leg lift .
c)Moving warrior 2:To strengthen all leg muscles and keep the knee joint mobile

🔸️Medical treatment:
Medicine, such as acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Knee brace.

🔸️Surgery:
Ligament is usually replaced with a piece of tendon from another part of your knee or leg. Tendon graft

🔸️Lifestyle and home remedies:
To reduce your chance of an ACL injury, follow these tips:
★ Strengthening and stability exercises, aerobic conditioning, plyometric exercises, "jump training," and risk-awareness training.
★ Exercises that improve balance also can help when done in conjunction with other training exercises.
★ Strengthen your hamstrings. Women athletes in particular should make sure to strengthen their hamstring muscles as well as their quadriceps.
★Use proper techniques.

🔸️POST SURGERY REHAB (see images)

⚠️Note: Patients heal at different rates, possess various pre-operative deficiencies, and require specific attributes to perform normal function. Due to these factors, this protocol must be individualized to each patient to allow for optimal return to desired activities.

🗒️Neck Pain

Neck moves a lot and is not protected by other parts of your body, so it’s prone to injury or strain. Pain can occur on either side of your neck. It may be related to simple muscle strain, or to more serious conditions like nerve damage or spinal injury.

The neck connects to several other parts of the body. For this reason, neck pain can lead to pain in other areas of your body, including your shoulders, arms, back, jaw, or head.

Neck pain on the right or left side of your neck may go away on its own, or with home-based treatments, after a few days or weeks.

🔴What causes pain in the right side of the neck?

Some causes of neck pain include:

➡️Muscle strain
You may notice that your neck hurts after using a computer or smartphone for an extended period of time. You may also experience pain in the neck after driving long distances or engaging in work or hobbies that restrict head movement for prolonged periods.

These actions can cause the muscles in your neck to weaken. If your neck muscles are weak, your neck joint may become stiff and you may have difficulty moving your neck. A stiffened neck joint may contact nerves or muscles when rotating, resulting in pain.

➡️Poor sleeping position
Your neck may hurt after sleeping in an unusual position. You may be more likely to experience neck pain if you sleep on your stomach. Sleeping with too many pillows can also cause neck pain because your head and neck are not in line with the rest of your body.

Also, your mattress may be too soft and cause the alignment between your head and neck to be off compared to the rest of your body.

➡️Bad posture
Posture is important to preventing, reducing, or eliminating neck pain. Poor posture directly affects the muscles near your neck and shoulders as well as your spine.

The longer you maintain poor posture, the weaker these parts of your body become, leading to more pain.

➡️Anxiety or stress
Experiencing anxiety or stress can lead to your muscles tightening. You may especially feel this around your neck and shoulders.

➡️Whiplash
Trauma to the neck can cause a neck sprain, leading to pain. Whiplash is another term used for neck sprain. This occurs when your ligaments or muscles in the neck become injured because something impacts your body that causes your neck to overextend and snap back into place too quickly.

This type of impact can occur if you’re in a car accident. It may also occur in other instances like when riding a roller coaster or encountering a blunt force during a sports activity.

➡️Brachial plexus injury
A brachial plexus injury can occur when you play contact sports or are in a traumatic accident. This can damage the brachial plexus, a set of nerves connecting your spine, shoulders, arms, and hands, resulting in neck pain.

➡️Degenerative conditions
There are several degenerative conditions related to the joints, vertebrae, muscles, and other parts of your neck that can cause pain. These conditions can occur from aging or from another health conditions. Some of these degenerative conditions are:

➡️Arthritis
pinched nerves
inflammation in the nerves or joints
cervical disc degeneration
cervical fractures
Other sources of neck pain
Neck pain can also be associated with an accident, a high fever, and symptoms such as pain in your arms and legs, or a headache.

🔴Home-based treatments
Several home-based treatments may help neck pain heal with time. You can try:

➡️icing the injured area
➡️applying heat to the neck or taking a warm bath
➡️moving the neck gently from side to side
➡️stretching your muscles gently
➡️staying active despite the pain
➡️getting someone to massage the area
➡️practicing proper posture
➡️finding ergonomic ways to work on the computer or for other intensive tasks
sleeping with just one pillow on a firm mattress
reducing stress with relaxation methods like yoga or meditation.

🗒️Spondylolysis & spondylolisthesis

Spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis are conditions affecting the facet joints that align the vertebrae one on top of the other. ➡️Spondylolysis is a weakness or stress fracture in the facet joint area. This weakness can cause the bones to slip forward out of normal position, called spondylolisthesis, and kink the spinal nerves. Treatment options include physical therapy to strengthen the muscles. A back brace may be used to support the spine. In some cases, surgery can realign and fuse the bones.

Spondylolysis (spon-dee-low-lye-sis) and spondylolisthesis (spon-dee-low-lis-thee-sis) are separate, yet related conditions. ➡️Spondylolysis usually comes first, though not always. The term comes from "spondylo," which means spine, and "lysis," which means to divide. Spondylolysis is a breakdown or fracture of the narrow bridge between the upper and lower facets, called the pars interarticularis. It can occur on one side (unilateral) or both sides (bilateral) and at any level of the spine, but most often at the fourth or fifth lumbar vertebra. If spondylolysis is present, then you have the potential to develop spondylolisthesis.

➡️Spondylolisthesis is the slipping forward of the vertebral bone. The term "listhesis" means to slip forward. It occurs when the weakened pars interarticularis separates and allows the vertebra to move forward out of position causing pinched nerves and pain. Spondylolisthesis usually occurs between the fourth and fifth lumber vertebra or at the last lumbar vertebra and the sacrum. This is where your spine curves into its most pronounced "S" shape and where the stress is heaviest.

🔴Slippage is measured on a scale from grade 1 slippage (25%) to grade 4 (100%). The more the lower back curves in (swayback or lordosis), the steeper the grade.

🔴Symptoms
In many cases, patients with spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis do not have any obvious symptoms. The conditions may not even be discovered until an x-ray is taken for an unrelated injury or condition.

When symptoms do occur, the most common symptom is lower back pain. This pain may:

➡️Feel similar to a muscle strain
➡️Radiate to the buttocks and back of the thighs
➡️Worsen with activity and improve with rest

In patients with spondylolisthesis, muscle spasms may lead to additional signs and symptoms, including:

➡️Back stiffness
➡️Tight hamstrings (the muscles in the back of the thigh)
➡️Difficulty standing and walking
➡️Spondylolisthesis patients who have severe or high-grade slips may have tingling, numbness, or weakness in one or both legs.
These symptoms result from pressure on the spinal nerve root as it exits the spinal canal near the fracture.

🔴Since spondylolysis is the most common cause of spondylolisthesis, it may be referred to as an isthmic spondylolisthesis and sometimes these terms are used interchangeably, although this is not correct. There are at least 6 recognized causes of slippage as seen in spondylolisthesis in the literature. According to Dr. Leon Wiltse, these causes are listed as:

➡️Dysplastic spondylolisthesis (which includes congenital)
➡️Isthmic spondylolisthesis (which includes lytic or stress fracture, an elongated but intact pars or an acute fracture of the pars)
➡️Degenerative spondylolisthesis (Pseudospondylolisthesis) — secondary to long-standing degenerative arthrosis (degenerative disc disease and degeneration of the facet joints)
➡️Traumatic spondylolisthesis (secondary to a fracture of the neural arch)
➡️Pathologic spondylolisthesis (from bone disease such as metastatic disease, tumor, osteoporosis, etc.)

🔴Exercises for pain relief
After a thorough evaluation, physical therapist will be able to provide you with a personalized home exercise program to help decrease pain due to spondylolisthesis.

This program often includes lumbar flexion exercises, core stabilization exercises, and exercises or stretches for the muscles of the back, hamstrings, and hips. Low-impact exercise such as cycling or swimming is also recommended to promote healing and decrease pain.

🔴3 Exercises to Avoid With Spondylolisthesis
Since your spine can be very vulnerable while you’re suffering from spondylolisthesis, certain exercises may cause extra stress on the back. It’s important to speak with your doctor about your specific condition before further harming your back or spine.
Here are three spondylolisthesis exercises to avoid:

➡️Heavy weightlifting: Weightlifting, especially if you use improper lifting techniques, can take a toll on your back in many ways. While lifting, you’re placing extra strain on your back, specifically on your lower or lumbar region.

➡️Twisting or bending: Although core exercises for spondylolisthesis can be vital in strengthening your abdominal muscles and your back, make sure to avoid those that involve excessive twisting to the side or bending over such as toe touches. This may cause further injury to your spine and cause additional pain.

➡️High impact activities: It’s important to remain active during your recovery process from spondylolisthesis, but it’s advised to stray away from those exercises that may cause harm to your back. Exercises such as running, basketball, football, etc. should be avoided until you’re healed.

🔈 ELBOW SPRAIN

An elbow sprain occurs when the elbow ligaments are stretched and partly torn. A ruptured ligament can cause instability in the affected area.

The ligament sprains are graded: A Grade 1 injury is a stretch of the ligaments, Grade 2 is a partial tear and Grade 3 is a complete rupture.

▶️ Signs and Symptoms

Immediate pain will be felt with an elbow sprain and swelling may become noticeable. The greater the pain and swelling often the longer the healing process will take.

With a mild sprain the elbow will become tender and stiffen. A greater sprain will cause the skin of the affected area to become red, while the elbow will experience tenderness, warmth and bruising.

A severe elbow sprain will cause heightened pain and limit ability to move the elbow.

Instability of the elbow occurs if it dislocates which can result in deformity of the elbow. This requires urgent reduction of the joint to prevent further damage.

▶️ Treatment – non-operative

There are a number of non-surgical treatments that can be applied to an elbow sprain including rest, ice, pain-relieving medication and bandage support.

Rest
The affected elbow should avoid activity that could provoke pain or increase stress.

Ice
An ice pack can be applied for 15-20 minutes several times a day to reduce pain and swelling. If the elbow becomes excessively swollen recovery will be longer.

Pain-relieving medication
Tablets and creams applied to the skin will help relieve pain.

Bandage Support
Firm bandaging, plaster, sling or a brace protects and restricts the injured elbow keeping it comfortable and ensuring a quicker healing process. However limiting movement beyond two weeks following injury should be avoided to prevent permanent stiffness.

▶️ Recovery
Elbow sprains of a Grade 1 and Grade 2 nature will eventually settle after a few weeks with physical activity to be avoided during that period. A Grade 3 sprain may take up to three months to heal.

An exercise program should be implemented to help restore flexibility range of motion and strength in the elbow.
