    Parsonage Turner Syndrome "Look-alikes"

    Send us a text Parsonage-Turner Syndrome can mimic several other shoulder conditions, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment if not properly identified and differentiated. • PTS typically presents with sudden onset of severe shoulder pain lasting 2-3 weeks, often triggered by viruses or vaccinations • Common symptoms include limited active and passive range of motion, weakness, atrophy (especially in deltoids), and sometimes altered sensation • Rotator cuff tears differ by having better passive than active motion and usually having a clear mechanism of injury • Cervical nerve root compression can be distinguished by performing Spurling's test and gentle cervical traction • Adhesive capsulitis has a slower onset than PTS and typically doesn't cause the significant atrophy seen in PTS cases • Diagnostic imaging should be used after thorough clinical examination to confirm suspected diagnosis • EMG/nerve conduction studies are most helpful for confirming PTS after 3-4 weeks of symptoms • Always check for skin changes like pustules or rashes that might indicate shingles, which can cause brachial neuritis Join us for our upcoming live course on May 31st, 2025 where we'll cover more differential diagnoses like these.

    Orthopedic Q&A: ACL Recovery, Hip Pain, and Foot Problems | OEP375

    Send us a text We tackle three common orthopedic questions submitted through YouTube, Facebook, and podcast emails. From diagnostic challenges to treatment options, these Q&As provide practical guidance for patients experiencing hip, foot, and knee conditions. • Young adults with hip pain that mimics arthritis might actually have labral tears or femoral acetabular impingement requiring MR arthrogram for diagnosis • Morton's neuroma and metatarsalgia can coexist because they share common causes like calf tightness and forefoot pressure • Metatarsalgia encompasses several diagnoses including sesamoiditis, capsulitis, and plantar plate tears • Morton's neuroma typically causes paresthesia in the third/fourth toes with sharp, shocking pain • Treatment for foot conditions includes orthotics, stretching, metatarsal pads and intrinsic strengthening • ACL tears won't heal themselves, but some patients can function well without surgical repair • Secondary restraints (menisci, capsule, muscles) significantly influence knee stability after ACL injury • Non-athletes and those avoiding cutting/pivoting sports are better candidates for non-surgical ACL management 💥LIVE Shoulder Course Info  May 2025 ✅Are you looking for One on one Coaching?

    Quadriceps and Patella Tendon Repair Progression (12 weeks and up) | OEP373

    Send us a text We explore the final stages of rehabilitation for quadriceps and patellar tendon repairs, focusing on the progression from 12 weeks post-operation to full functional recovery. This episode completes our four-part series on tendon repair rehabilitation with practical guidance for therapists and patients navigating the return to higher-level activities. • By 12 weeks, patients should have nearly full knee range of motion and natural gait on level surfaces • Continue avoiding high-impact activities and forceful eccentric contractions • Progress balance training from double to single leg, stable to unstable surfaces • Advance cardiovascular training with stationary bike and elliptical • Implement forward, backward and lateral walking with resistance for gait training • Begin closed chain quad exercises with mini squats up to 70° knee flexion • Carefully progress core exercises considering tension on the extensor mechanism • Transition to higher activities around 4 months when meeting specific functional criteria • Work on deceleration activities and controlled change of direction • Progress from assisted hopping to full body weight jumping activities • Take a more conservative approach with smokers or less active patients • Be aware that quinolone antibiotics increase rupture risk during rehabilitation If you're listening before May 31st, 2025 and interested in my upcoming live shoulder course in Auburn, Maine, check out the agenda on my website through the link in the show notes. ✅Are you looking for One on one Coaching?
