Hi all. So I wanted to get some opinions on this patient. Pt is approx 50 yo male who had a partial medial menisectomy 4 weeks ago. The patient has some residual pain and some quad atrophy. The pt just returned from vacation and reported 3 days of prolonged walking with minimal increase in sx's. His primary pt has the pt performing SAQ, SLR flex, and ending with NMES with ice. He does other exercises as well, including terminal knee ext in standing. So today I saw the pt and he has a good quad contraction, no extension lag, minimal pain after the intensity if his vacation walking. So i DC'd SLR to HEP, and DC'd NMES. I added knee ext from 90-40 degrees and partial range squats. The primary PT had a meltdown as I wanted to progress the pt to more functional activities. Tell what you think. Should I have left him with SAQ, SLR, and NMES? I did talk to the other physios before I did it,
I appreciate your opinions.
