Muscle Strength • Compare bilateral muscles – Strength – Symmetry – Equality – Resistance End Feel Think About It!! • The sensation the examiner feels in the joint as it reaches the end of the range of motion of each passive movement • Bone to bone: This is hard, unyielding – normal would be elbow extension. • Soft–tissue approximation: yielding compression that stops further movement – elbow and knee flexion. End Feel • Tissue stretch: hard – springy type of movement with a slight give – toward the end of range of motion – most common type of normal end feel : knee extension and metacarpophalangeal joint extension. Abnormal End Feel • Muscle spasm: invoked by movement with a sudden dramatic arrest of movement often accompanied by pain - sudden hard – “vibrant twang” • Capsular: Similar to tissue stretch but it does not occur where one would expect – range of motion usually reduced.

  • Examination of the Knee
    Examination of the Knee The Examination For every joint of the lower extremity always begin with the patient in standing IN STANDING INSPECTION 1. Cutaneous Structures: Look for Erythema, scarring, bruising, and swelling in the following areas: a. Peripatellar grooves b. Suprapatellar bursa c. Prepatellar bursa d. Infrapatellar tendon e. Anserine bursa f. Popliteal fossa 2. Muscle & Soft Tissue: a. Quadriceps atrophy b. Hamstring atrophy c. Calf atrophy 3. Bones & Alignment: a. Patella position (Alta, Baha, Winking, Frog eyed), b. Varus or Valgus alignment c. Flexion contracture or Genu recurvatum RANGE OF MOTION - ACTIVE Standing is the best opportunity to assess active range of motion of the knee. 1. Ask the patient to squat into a deep knee bend. Both knees should bend symmetrically. 2. Ask the patient to then stand and extend the knee fully – lock the knee. The knee should straighten to 0 degrees of extension. Some people have increased extension referred to as genu recurvatum. GAIT 1. Look for a short stance phase on the affected limb and an awkward gait if a concomitant leg length discrepancy 2. Look for turning on block 3. Screening 1. Walk on the toes 2. Walk on the heels 3. Squat down – Active Range of Motion testing SPECIAL TESTS 1. Leg Length Discrepancy a. Look at patients back for evidence of a functional scoliosis b. Place your hands on the patients Iliac crests looking for inequality which may mean a leg length discrepancy IN SITTING NEUROLOGIC EXAMINATION 1. Test the reflexes a.

  • Knee Pain in Children: Part I: Evaluation
    Knee Pain in Children: Part I: Evaluation Michael Wolf, MD* *Pediatrics and Orthopedic Surgery, St Christopher’s Hospital for Children, Philadelphia, PA. Practice Gap Clinicians who evaluate knee pain must understand how the history and physical examination findings direct the diagnostic process and subsequent management. Objectives After reading this article, the reader should be able to: 1. Obtain an appropriate history and perform a thorough physical examination of a patient presenting with knee pain. 2. Employ an algorithm based on history and physical findings to direct further evaluation and management. HISTORY Obtaining a thorough patient history is crucial in identifying the cause of knee pain in a child (Table). For example, a history of significant swelling without trauma suggests bacterial infection, inflammatory conditions, or less likely, intra- articular derangement. A history of swelling after trauma is concerning for potential intra-articular derangement. A report of warmth or erythema merits consideration of bacterial in- fection or inflammatory conditions, and mechanical symptoms (eg, lock- ing, catching, instability) should prompt consideration of intra-articular derangement. Nighttime pain and systemic symptoms (eg, fever, sweats, night sweats, anorexia, malaise, fatigue, weight loss) are associated with bacterial infections, inflammatory conditions, benign and malignant musculoskeletal tumors, and other systemic malignancies. A history of rash or known systemic inflammatory conditions, such as systemic lupus erythematosus or inflammatory bowel disease, should raise suspicion for inflammatory arthritis. Ascertaining the location of the pain also can aid in determining the cause of knee pain. Anterior pain suggests patellofemoral syndrome or instability, quad- riceps or patellar tendinopathy, prepatellar bursitis, or apophysitis (patellar or tibial tubercle).

  • Abdominal Distension
    2003 OSCE Handbook The world according to Kelly, Marshall, Shaw and Tripp Our OSCE group, like many, laboured away through 5th year preparing for the OSCE exam. The main thing we learnt was that our time was better spent practising our history taking and examination on each other, rather than with our noses in books. We therefore hope that by sharing the notes we compiled you will have more time for practice, as well as sparing you the trauma of feeling like you‟ve got to know everything about everything on the list. You don‟t! You can‟t swot for an OSCE in a library! This version is the same as the 2002 OSCE Handbook, except for the addition of the 2002 OSCE stations. We have used the following books where we needed reference material: th Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine, 4 Edition, R A Hope, J M Longmore, S K McManus and C A Wood-Allum, Oxford University Press, 1998 Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialties, 5th Edition, J A B Collier, J M Longmore, T Duncan Brown, Oxford University Press, 1999 N J Talley and S O‟Connor, Clinical Examination – a Systematic Guide to Physical Diagnosis, Third Edition, MacLennan & Petty Pty Ltd, 1998 J.

  • Physical Examination Findings and Their Relationship with Performance-Based Function in Adults with Knee Osteoarthritis Maura D
    Iversen et al. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders (2016) 17:273 DOI 10.1186/s12891-016-1151-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Physical examination findings and their relationship with performance-based function in adults with knee osteoarthritis Maura D. Iversen1,2,3*, Lori Lyn Price4,5, Johan von Heideken1,3, William F. Harvey6 and Chenchen Wang6 Abstract Background: Many physical examination (PE) maneuvers exist to assess knee function, none of which are specific to knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The Osteoarthritis Research Society International also recommends the use of six functional performance measures to assess function in adults with KOA. While earlier studies have examined the relationship between PE findings and self-reported function or PE findings and select performance tests in adults with knee pain and KOA, few have examined the all three types of measures. This cross-sectional study specifically examines the relationships between results of PE findings, functional performance tests and self-reported function in adults with symptomatic KOA. Methods: We used baseline PE data from a prospective randomized controlled trial in 87 participants aged ≥40 years with symptomatic and radiographic KOA. The PE performed by three experienced physical therapists included: muscle assessment, function and special tests. Participants also completed functional performance tests and the Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Multivariate linear regression identified contributions of PE findings towards functional performance and WOMAC scores, adjusting for age and gender. Results: Participants’ mean age was 60.4 years (SD = 10.5), mean disease duration was 8.4 years (SD = 10.1) and 27 participants had varus knee alignment. Mean WOMAC pain and function scores were 211 (SD = 113) and 709 (SD = 394), respectively.
