Developmental Dysplasia Of The Hip: A Case Study, Joseph D. Taylor
Developmental Dysplasia Of The Hip: A Case Study, Joseph D. Taylor
Physical Therapy Scholarly Projects
PURPOSE: The primary purpose of this case study was to describe the implementation of a conservative treatment protocol for dysplasia of the hip in a young girl in an attempt to prevent surgical intervention. A secondary objective of reducing femoral acetabular impingement was subsequently undertaken in the course of the case study.
BACKGROUND: The patient was a 16 year old female with a diagnosis of bilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip (DOH), bilateral femoral acetabular impingement (FAI), anterior superior labral tear to left (L) hip, elevated antinuclear antibody (ANA) screening and a history of depression.

Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Following Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair, Brittany E. Wirth
Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Following Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair, Brittany E. Wirth
Physical Therapy Scholarly Projects
Background and Purpose: According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, previous studies have found the prevalence of rotator cuff tears may exceed 50% in individuals older than age 65. Since this age group is the fastest growing of the U.S. population, rotator cuff pathology is sure to become a more significant problem in the future. With this information, it is important to continue research on rotator cuff rehabilitation following arthroscopic surgery.
Case Description: This case report describes the physical therapy interventions and functional outcomes of a 58-year-old patient who underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a partial tear …
Mckenzie Evaluation And Treatment For Lumbar Dysfunction And Anr, Michael Brooks
Mckenzie Evaluation And Treatment For Lumbar Dysfunction And Anr, Michael Brooks
Physical Therapy Scholarly Projects
Background and Purpose: When it comes to low back pain, McKenzie theory is considered highly effective for evaluating and treating patients with low back symptoms. There are three main classifications within McKenzie theory; postural, dysfunction, and derangement syndromes. The main focus of this case will be on the dysfunction classification and its subcategory adherent nerve roots (ANR). Dysfunction syndrome is characterized by pain due to deformation of structures and tissues that limit ROM causing pain at end range. ANR's are caused by scar tissue build up encompassing nerve roots due to trauma or surgery that produces symptoms when nerve …
