Most Common Injury In Physiotherapy

What is a Clicking or Clawcking Jaw?

A clicking jaw usually refers to a popping or clicking sound when you open or close your mouth. It’s often a sign of Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJD) — a problem with the joint that connects your jaw to your skull.

ðŸĶī Causes of Clicking Jaw:

  1. Disc Displacement in the TMJ
  2. Muscle Imbalance or tightness (especially pterygoids, masseter)
  3. Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
  4. Arthritis or joint degeneration
  5. Jaw injury or stress-related clenching

🔎 Common Symptoms:

  • Clicking/popping sound when chewing or talking
  • Jaw pain or tightness
  • Limited range of motion
  • Headaches, ear pain, or facial pain
  • Locking of the jaw in open or closed position

ðŸĐš Assessment (for Physios):

  • Palpate TMJ during opening/closing
  • Observe deviation in jaw movement
  • Check for muscle tenderness (masseter, temporalis)
  • Use Auscultation or 2-finger test
  • Assess cervical spine (often linked)

💊 Physiotherapy Management:

  • Heat therapy & soft tissue release
  • Posture correction (head forward posture = more strain)
  • TMJ mobilization techniques
  • Jaw muscle strengthening & coordination exercises
  • Relaxation techniques to reduce clenching
  • Avoid chewing gum or hard foods during flare-ups

 

What is Whiplash?

Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a sudden forceful movement of the head — typically backward and then forward, like the motion of a whip. It’s common in rear-end car accidents, falls, or contact sports.

⚠️ Mechanism (Biomechanics):

  • During impact, the lower cervical spine hyperextends, and the upper cervical spine hyperflexes, causing strain on muscles, ligaments, discs, and joints.
  • Often involves the sternocleidomastoid, scalenes, longus colli, and facet joints.

ðŸ’Ē Common Symptoms:

  • Neck pain and stiffness
  • Headaches (especially at the base of the skull)
  • Dizziness
  • Shoulder and upper back pain
  • Reduced range of motion
  • Fatigue or blurred vision (in severe cases)

ðŸĐš Whiplash-Associated Disorders (WAD):

Graded I–IV based on severity (per Quebec Task Force):

  • Grade I: Pain, no physical signs
  • Grade II: Pain, musculoskeletal signs (↓ROM, tenderness)
  • Grade III: Pain + neurological signs (↓reflexes, weakness)
  • Grade IV: Fracture or dislocation

ðŸĨ Management (Physiotherapy):

  • Early phase (0–4 days): Rest, ice, pain relief, posture education
  • Subacute phase: Gentle ROM, isometrics, stretching
  • Chronic phase: Strengthening, manual therapy, functional retraining
  • Avoid rigid collars long-term — they delay recovery

🧊 Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)

📌 Definition:

A condition where the shoulder capsule becomes inflamed, thickened, and stiff, leading to restricted movement and pain.

🔄 3 Stages:

  1. Freezing Stage (Painful) – Gradual onset of pain & ↓ ROM
  2. Frozen Stage – Less pain, but marked stiffness
  3. Thawing Stage – Gradual return of motion

⚠️ Causes/Risk Factors:

  • Diabetes
  • Prolonged immobilization
  • Post-surgery or injury
  • 40–60 years age, especially in women

ðŸĨ PT Management:

  • Early stage: Pain relief (heat, modalities), pendulum exercises
  • Mid-stage: Passive ROM, stretching
  • Late stage: Strengthening, joint mobilizations
  • Manual therapy: Maitland or Kaltenborn glides

ðŸĶĩ Calf Injuries

📌 Common Types:

  1. Gastrocnemius Strain (aka "Tennis Leg")
  2. Soleus strain (common in long-distance runners)
  3. Achilles Tendonitis or Rupture

⚠️ Symptoms:

  • Sudden sharp pain (gastroc strain)
  • Stiffness, swelling, or bruising
  • Pain when walking or pushing off the foot

ðŸĐš Clinical Tests:

  • Thompson Test – For Achilles rupture
  • Palpation and resisted plantarflexion for muscle strain

ðŸĨ PT Management:

  • Acute Phase: RICE, heel lifts, gentle mobility
  • Subacute: Soft tissue release, isometrics, stretching
  • Chronic: Eccentric strengthening, balance drills, gait training

ðŸ’Ĩ Chest & Thoracic Pain — Physiotherapy Overview

Chest and upper back (thoracic) pain can stem from musculoskeletal, neurological, or even visceral sources. It’s vital to rule out cardiac causes first, then assess for postural or biomechanical dysfunctions.

ðŸŦ Common Causes (Non-cardiac):

🧍‍♂️ Musculoskeletal:

  • Costochondritis – Inflammation at costosternal joints
  • Rib dysfunction – Subluxation or joint sprain
  • Thoracic facet joint strain
  • Postural syndrome – Rounded shoulders, kyphosis
  • Muscle strain – Intercostals, pecs, serratus anterior

🧠 Neurological:

  • Thoracic disc herniation – Rare but possible
  • Nerve entrapment – Intercostal neuralgia
  • T4 Syndrome – Upper back pain + autonomic symptoms (e.g. hand tingling)

❤️ Visceral Referral (to rule out):

  • Cardiac (angina, MI)
  • GI (GERD, gallbladder issues)
  • Pulmonary (pleurisy, PE)

🧊 Clinical Signs (Red vs. Yellow Flags):

  • Red flags: Chest pressure, shortness of breath, radiating jaw/arm pain
  • Yellow flags: Chronic poor posture, anxiety-related chest tightness

ðŸĨ Physiotherapy Assessment:

  • Postural observation (kyphosis, scoliosis)
  • Palpation of thoracic spine, ribs, sternum
  • ROM & resisted tests – Rule in/out muscle or joint issues
  • Neurological screen – Dermatomes, reflexes
  • Breathing pattern assessment

🧘‍♀️ Management Plan:

  • Manual therapy – Rib mobilization, thoracic manipulations
  • Stretching – Pecs, intercostals, thoracic spine
  • Strengthening – Postural muscles (rhomboids, mid-traps)
  • Breathing retraining – Diaphragmatic exercises

  • Modalities – Heat, TENS, IFT for pain relief

Golfer’s Pain (Golfer’s Elbow) – Medial Epicondylitis

📌 What It Is:

Golfer’s Elbow is pain and inflammation on the inside of the elbow, where the forearm flexor tendons attach to the medial epicondyle of the humerus.

Despite the name, it can affect non-golfers too — from repetitive wrist flexion or gripping, common in manual workers, athletes, and physiotherapists!

ðŸ’Ē Causes (Biomechanics):

  • Overuse of wrist flexors & pronator teres
  • Poor swing mechanics in golf
  • Weak grip strength or poor shoulder/scapular control
  • Repetitive stress: lifting, typing, throwing, or racket sports

🔍 Symptoms:

  • Pain/tenderness on medial elbow
  • Worse with gripping, lifting, or wrist flexion
  • May radiate to forearm
  • Weak grip strength or stiffness in the morning

ðŸĐš Clinical Tests:

  • Medial Epicondylitis Test: Pain with resisted wrist flexion & pronation
  • Palpation: Tender over medial epicondyle
  • Tinel’s sign: Rule out ulnar nerve involvement

ðŸĨ Physiotherapy Treatment:

  • Rest & activity modification
  • Ice or cryotherapy in acute phase
  • Soft tissue release of flexor-pronator group
  • Wrist & elbow stretching
  • Eccentric loading of wrist flexors (evidence-based!)
  • Forearm strengthening – Grip trainers, theraband pronation
  • Bracing or taping may help offload tendon
  • Address kinetic chain: scapular, shoulder, and core control

Electrotherapy practicals can be tricky, especially when you're under time pressure. Even good students often lose marks due to small, avoidable errors. Here's a quick guide to the Top 5 mistakes students make in electrotherapy practical exams — and how you can avoid them! ❌ 1. Skipping Safety Checks Mistake: Not inspecting the machine, cables, or checking for contraindications before starting. How to Avoid: ✅ Always begin with: Checking power supply Inspecting wires/electrodes Asking patient about pacemaker, metal implants, pregnancy, or sensation issues ðŸ’Ą Bonus Tip: Verbally say, "I’m checking for contraindications," — examiners love that! ❌ 2. Wrong Electrode Placement Mistake: Placing electrodes randomly or without clinical reasoning. How to Avoid: ✅ Follow correct patterns: TENS – Over pain area or dermatomes IFT – Crisscross around pain SWD – Symmetrical on either side with proper spacing ðŸ’Ą Pro Tip: Explain why you’r...
