The nurse knows that treatment of Osgood-Schlatter disease includes which intervention?
a. Limitation of knee bending or kneeling
b. Increasing range of motion (ROM) of the knee
c. Encouraging flexion of the hip
d. Limitation of adduction of the hip
A
Limitation of knee bending or kneeling provides pain control and allows the knees to heal. Increasing ROM of the knee increases pain and exacerbates the disease. Encouraging flexion of the hip will have no effect on the process affecting the knees. Limitation of hip adduction will not help the child with Osgood-Schlatter disease.
