Q

Postural analysis/palpating paired landmarks

What do you observe from the front?

What about the back side?

Sides?

A

front: Observe from front evaluating weight distribution, head carriage, shoulder level and foot placement.

Back: Observe back evaluating head carriage, shoulder height, level of pelvis, and weight distribution on the feet.

side: plumbline posture

17
Q
  1. Postural analysis/Palpating paired landmarks

What bony landmarks should you palpate and observe?

A

Accordion process

Iliac crest

Greater trochanters

18
Q
  1. Gait analysis Screen

From what side should you watch them walk?

A

Observe gait with patient walking towards you.
Walking away
Walking from the side

Observe from different planes, eyes should be level to the plane being observed.

19
Q

Gait analysis screen

What are you looking for?

A

length of stride, swing of arm, heel strike, toe off, tilting of the pelvis, and adaptation of the shoulders.

20
Q

When is the best time to watch a patients gait?

A

When they are unaware of how you are walking.

21
Q
  1. Screening of lower extremities

Standing or sitting and how do you do this?

A

Ask them to squat maintaining heels on the floor.

22
Q

Why do you want them to squat for screening of lower extremities?

What if they can’t?

A

requires mobility of foot ankle, knee, and hip joints bilaterally.

If they can’t perform squat you need further evaluation of lower extremity.

23
Q
  1. Dynamic trunk sidebending.

What do you ask them to do? Where do you observe from? What are you looking for?

A

Ask them to side bend…. with no forward bending

observe from back

Looking for symmetry of range of motion bilaterally

24
Q

During side bending what is a good body part to watch to see how far they go?

A

Look at fingertips and if they go further on the down the lateral leg.

25
Q
  1. Dynamic Trunk flexion/extension

what does this screen for?

How is this preformed? (standing sitting?, where is physician?, where are patient’s arm?)

A

Thoracic and lumbar spines.

patient stands with feet a comfortable width apart and weight evenly distributed.
Operated stands behind patient (eyes at the level you are evaluating)
Have patient bend forward, arms relaxed and in front, hanging down.

26
Q

Dynamic trunk flexion/extension

Does HNP and disc disease patients prefer? extend/flex?

What about spinal stenosis/arthritis patients?

A

HNP and disc disease prefer extension

stenosis and arthritis patients prefer flexion

27
Q

Dynamic Trunk flexion/extension and scoliosis

What is next step if you see a scoliotic curve? how do you tell if it’s functional or structural?

A

support patient’s shoulders and sidebend (passive) upper body TOWARDS the convexity.

28
Q

If scoliosis is a functional curve how will you tell?

What about structural?

A

When side bending the patient the curves will improve

When side bending the patient the curves will not improve.

29
Q
  1. Screening of Upper Extremity

standing or seated?

What should you ask the patient to do?

How should there hands come together?

Observe from front or behind?

What joints are involved in this motion?

A

Seated

Ask patient to fully abduct both upper extremities in the coronal plane, reaching for the ceiling and turn back of the hands together.

Observe from both front and behind because this requires mobility of the SC, AC, glenohumeral, elbow and wrist joints.

30
Q
  1. Trunk and Neck Mobility testing

patient standing? how is trunk portion done?

A

Patient sitting with doctor behind patient.

grasp shoulders, induce passive trunk rotation and side bending through the shoulders, feeling for range, quality of movement and end feel.

Compare movement with both left and right rotation of the trunk

31
Q

Trunk and Neck mobility

How is the neck portion done?

How much normal motion is there in extension, flexion, side bending, and rotation? (degrees)

A

First have patient do ACTIVE ROM. then passive

Extension- 75-85 degrees

Flexion- 45-60

sidebending 40-45

rotation- 80-90

32
Q
  1. Seated breath observation

which angles do you view?

what are you looking for?

A

view from front back and side

Looking for:
Does chest rise and fall evenly?
Abdominal breathing/Chest breathing?
Is the patient using accessory muscles?

33
Q
  1. TART

What does it stand for?

A

T- tissue texture
A- Asymmetry
R- Restriction of motion
T- Tenderness

34
Q
  1. Tissue texture abnormalities

Acute vs Chronic changes

A

Acute (<3 months)- warm, moist, red, inflamed, hypertrophy, increased muscle tone

Chronic(>3 months) - Cool, pale, decreased muscle tone, flaccid and mushy

35
Q
  1. TART Assymetry

Asymmetry can either be ___A___ or ____B___.

What bones might you see asymmetry in?

A

A. Structural

B. Functional

examples: shoulder heights, iliac crest levels, contour of spine.

36
Q
  1. TART- restriction of motion.

Motion may either _A_mobile or _B_mobile.

You can identify restrictions by __C___ and __D___ testing using both active and passive patient cooperation.

A

A. HYPERmobile
B. HYPOmobile

C. Observation
D. Palpation

37
Q
  1. TART Tenderness

Sensation of pain or soreness elicited during ___A__.

A

A. Palpation

May be associated with other subjective symptoms such as numbness, tingling, restriction of motion, weakness, etc.

38
Q
  1. AGR

AGR is best done with patient (standing or sitting)? Why?

What is the grading system for AGR?

A

Best done standing because seated would eliminate lower extremity influences.

1-3, 1 being slightly restricted, 3 being stuck.

39
Q
  1. AGR

Once the area of greatest restriction has been treated what should you do?

A

Repeat the exam again.

Were all the findings that were positive before, still positive? Are some gone as they were just compensation?
