Non Surgical Rehabilitation Analysis

Rehabilitation, what is rehabilitation? Rehabilitation is the action of restoring someone to a normal life through training and therapy after incarcerated, addiction or illness. Rehabilitation can be used for an offender who has committed a crime and is incarcerated, someone who is struggling with addiction or illness. Rehabilitation was

Anterior Cruciate Ligament With an ever increasing number of people becoming involved with athletic activities, there is an increasing number of injuries occurring which can be devastating for the individual. Most of the injuries that affect athletes occur in one of four structures in the human body: bones, muscles, tendons, or ligaments. Because ligaments attach bone to bone and play a major part in providing stability for joints, the major stabilizing ligament in the knee, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), assists in performing everyday actions of the human body including sitting, standing, walking, running, dancing, and participating in other sports. The injury that specifically affects this ligament is very serious and always

There are different techniques that repair a torn ACL. The popular method for surgeons is the patellar tendon graft procedure. This type of ACL replacement uses the middle third of the person’s own patellar tendon and replacing the damage tendon with it. The advantages are that the fixation is very strong and the patellar tendon replacing

Characteristics of ACL Injuries ACL injuries used to be seen as career ending injuries 50 years ago, however, throughout the years with the advancement in technology aiding treatment and rehabilitation procedures. Yet they are still sever and take months to recover. This is because of the precise location of the ligament within the knee joint. Resulting in no blood clot formation within the joint as a consequence scar tissue will not form and the tissue will just be filled with uncontrolled blood leading to swelling an pain within the joint (ACL reconstruction Oxford university hospital, 2017) which is why it takes between 9 to 12 months for recovery. With an ACL injury, other injuries often follow, namely MCL injuries and meniscal lesions which in time would likely lead to the patient contracting osteoarthritis due to it being a degenerative disorder consequently resulting from the meniscal and

B. Repairing the ACL. 1. There are three ways to replace your ACL. There is an ACL graft, which is from another human body, a patellar tendon graft, and a hamstring graft.

The UCL will not heal on its own so surgery is the only option to heal a torn UCL. The surgery is called Tommy John surgery, which is named after a former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher who had the first surgery

Ryley Zopfi Mrs. Miller English 11A 1/25/2017 Torn ACL In the sports world the word ACL brings absolute horror and cringe with it. That’s because when an ACL tears it can be one of the most painful experiences an athlete can have, especially with the surgeries and recovery it brings with it. Along with that, the ACL is in the deep part of the middle of the knee, so most of the time when you damage your ACL you most likely have damaged something else. Women especially have to worry about the overall health of their knees as they have a 4.8% greater chance of tearing their ACL than men (Musgrave). ACL tears are one of the worst injuries in the sports world and in order to recover to full health it takes time, patience, and a hard-work ethic.

Statement of problem: Surgical repair after ACL tear is typical for the general public and imperative for athletes to return to high-level competition. Rehabilitation after ACL surgery whether using accelerated or traditional programs focuses on regain of knee functions and functional activity progression in order to achieve preinjury activity level.

1. The Anterior Cruciate Ligament also known as the ACL is deemed the most commonly torn ligament in the knee and can result from both contact and noncontact injuries. Most Anterior Cruciate Ligament injuries result from an extreme force on the lateral side of the person’s knee causing a valgus force which pushes the knee inward (Kisner & Colby, 2012, pp. 802-803). This injury to the side of the knee can also cause a “Terrible Triad” injury which also injures both the medial meniscus and the medial collateral ligament (Kisner & Colby, 2012, p. 803). Our textbook further states that “the most common noncontact mechanism is a rotational mechanism in which the tibia is externally rotated on the planted foot….this mechanism can account for as many as 78% of all ACL injuries” (Kisner & Colby, 2012, p. 803). If the person does not seek medical help with this injury they are susceptible to also injuring the remaining support ligaments as well. Patients usually present with joint effusion; possibly 25 degrees of flexion, joint swelling if blood vessels are involved, limited ROM, stress pain and instability along with quads avoidance gait patterns (Kisner & Colby, 2011, p. 208)

Introduction: Anatomic double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction provides excellent results for restoring normal kinematics to the knee. Nevertheless, strong evidence supporting an ideal method for fixation of the ACL graft is lacking.

Shianne Rey Complete Tear of the ACL A torn ACL is one of the most serious and common knee injuries. Many aspects play a role in the treatment and rehabilitation of this injury. This paper will discuss the anatomy of the knee, describe a torn ACL, and the rehabilitation.

ANTHROPOMETRIC PREDICTPRS OF QUADRUPLE HAMSTRING GRAFT DIAMETER FOR ACL RECONSTRUCTION Naiyer Asif INTRODUCTION Among ligament reconstruction, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most commonly reconstructed ligament of the knee. Many graft options are available for ACL reconstruction. Bone–patellar tendon–bone autograft has rigid fixation and has bone-to-bone healing, but it has donor

While there is a higher incidence in BPTB grafts than HS or allografts, the overall incidence is higher in patients that sustained an ACL injury than those that did not. A meta-analysis conducted by Ajuied et al, found a relative risk of 4.71 of developing moderate or severe osteoarthritis, on the Kellegren and Lawrence grading system, ten years after sustaining an ACL injury and undergoing ACL reconstruction (not organized by graft choice) compared to the contralateral unaffected knee (10). Ajuid et al found that with non-operative ACL treatment the relative risk of moderate to severe osteoarthritis on the Kellegren and Lawrence grading system was 4.98 when compared to the contralateral unaffected knee (10). The data from the meta-analysis conducted by Ajuied et al shows that the relative risk of moderate to severe osteoarthritis, on the Kellegren and Lawrence scale, of the affected knee compared to the unaffected knee has decreased with current methods of ACL reconstruction; however, osteoarthritis is still a major problem plaguing those that sustained ACL injury. Typically Osteoarthritis is an illness of the middle aged to elderly (11). With ACL injuries most often occurring in a young athletic population, osteoarthritis is seen at a much younger age in patients with ACL injuries than the normal progression of the illness in individuals who did not sustain an ACL injury (10). Osteoarthritis involves destruction of the

The advantages robotic systems could provide to human rehabilitation processes are promising: not only they could help therapists by increasing the duration of the rehabilitation exercises, but also they could enhance their quality through a precise control of the motion applied by the robot to the patient \cite{qian2015}. Another useful features of a robotic systems represents the possibility to record very precise kinematic and kinetic information during the rehabilitation process, and finally they make possible to adapt the exercise to the particular stage of the individual \cite{robertson2010}.

In this essay I will discuss theoretical principals of rehabilitation of a particular patient I cared for while on clinical placement. It will focus on the role of the multidisciplinary team involved in this rehabilitation process post acute myocardial infarction and the education and support given to the patient and her family during the discharge planning process. Also I will be including statistics and evidence of pathophysiology. The National Service Framework for Older People (Department of Health, 2001) sets out eight standards including standard three about intermediate care services that promote independence and provide effective rehabilitation services. Active rehabilitation is seen to reduce the risks of hospital readmission,
