Q

What is the IAR of the lumbar rotation?

A

Q

How does disc pathology effect the IAR?

A
  1. results in much larger movement in the IAR
  2. decreased height results in decreased tension of the connective tissues
  3. greater available ROM results in greater tension on the connective tissues
  4. greater tension on the connective tissues leads to MTL and further degeneration

Q

Why might painful end range trunk flexion indicate segmental instability?

A

as you flexion forward you reach of point where the posterior musculature turns off because and the ligaments and fascia provide the only support for the spine

Q

What the clinical signs of hypomobilities of the spine?

A
  1. reduced mobility
  2. pain with stretch or compression
  3. local ligamentous tenderness
  4. acute muscle guarding
24
Q

What are the clinical of hypermobilities of the spine?

A
  1. increased joint mobility
  2. full ROM
  3. ligamentous tenderness
  4. pain with prolonged stretch
  5. pain relieved with rest and exercise
  6. pain and stiffness after exercise
  7. joint locking and catching
  8. a.m. that improves once they get up and start moving around
25
Q

How can hypermobility reproduce segmental symptoms?

A
  1. With rotation the contralateral facet reaches closed pack position the axis of motion shifts out of the spinal canal and can facilitate a stenotic vertebral canal
  2. Like wise with flexion you can have excessive forward displacement and narrowing of the vertebral canal
26
Q

How do connective tissues become ossified?

A
  1. abnormal stress to a ligament triggers increases levels of fibronectin
  2. you also have an decrease in the number of fibroblasts, increased chodrocytes and a change in proteoglycan levels
  3. Hypermobilities contribute to ossification of the ligaments, for example orientation of the TL junction facet dictates ossification levels in that the greater the rotation ROM the greater the ossification
27
Q

In the lumbar spine why does neuro testing provide the level of segmental dysfunction?

A
  1. The orientation of the roots sleeves can cause the segments above the segemental distribution to interfere with the nerve roots
  2. sinovertebral and PBPPR travel up and down several segments
  3. Therefore segmental mobility testing is necessary to determine level of dysfunction
28
Q

What is far out syndrome?

A

entrapment of the anterior primary rami between the sacrum and L5

29
Q

What nerve is responsible sensing meniscoid entrapments and why is this important?

A
  1. Medial branch of the posterior primary rami

2. each facet can have multiple segmental innervations and requires manual assessment to determine to involved segment

30
Q

Pain with cough in most likely explained by what?

A
  1. mechanical pain from muscle contraction
  2. distention of the blood vessels with increase with increased intrabdominal blood pressure
  3. NOT increased intradiscal pressure
31
Q

What is the primary cause of stenosis?

A

segmental instability and progressive spondylosis

32
Q

What structures primarily contribute to spinal stenosis?

A
  1. degenerative disc (62%)
  2. hypertrophy of facets (25%)
  3. thickened ligamentum flavum (12%)
  4. spondylosisthesis (11%)
33
Q

What functional activities tend to exacerbate lumbar spine stenosis?

A
  1. standing

2. walking down stairs or hills due to the increased lumbar etension

34
Q

What is Van Geldrin’s test

A

test to differentiate claudication and stenosis when person bike until onset of pain then leans forward while continuing to bike to see if this will change the symptoms

35
Q

What is cyclic sciatica?

A

With endometriosis menstruation will cause the uterus to compress the sciatic nerve

36
Q

Is scoleosis a structural or mobility problem?

A

it frequently starts as a mobility problems turns into a structural problem

37
Q

What part of the scoleosic curve is least mobile and why?

A

apex because all of the slack is taken up

38
Q

Why so you avoid heel lifts with child who have scoleosis?

A
  1. Growth plates respond to pressure
  2. the long leg will force the body over the short leg increasing the pressure on that leg
  3. monitor for up to two years to for changes
39
Q

Before providing a heel lift to normalize scoleotic changes what must you do first?

A

you must restore the axis of motion because you accentuate the problem if the persons spine lacks to mobility to compensate for the heel lift

40
Q

What are the primary objectives when treating scoleosis?

A
  1. restore motion at the hypomobile segments
  2. stabilize motion at the hypermobile segments
  3. normalize soft tissues around the curves
41
Q

What is the osteopathic lesion?

A
  1. Andrew still thought of it as the musculoskeletal dysfunction without disease
  2. Stoddard thought of it as impaired segmental mobility adn found that most common clinical signs inclued hypomobility, positional faults, pain and tenderness, muscular tension, reflex changines in skin and muscle
  3. Acute locked back or menisciod entrapment
42
Q

What are the most prevalent theories of the cause of the osteopathic lesion?

A
  1. Kos and Wolf- coupling reversal
  2. Bogduk and Twomey- the fibroadipose meniscus doesn’t go back between the joint surface, but gets balled up inside the capsular space distending the capsule.
  3. Bogduk and Twomey- They also proposed things other than the meniscus can become entrapped such as a loose body of fat pad
43
Q

What is Kos and Wolf’s theory on entrapments?

A
  1. Reverse of couple motion.
  2. As you lean forward and reach with one arm you have segmental SB and rotation gapping the ispalateral side
  3. as you stand back up the coupling reverses potentially entrapping the meniscoid
44
Q

What are the five diagnositic criteria of Maigne’s syndrome

A
  1. the iliac crest point sign-
  2. skin rolling- gluteal and illiac crest, in his book he identifies this area as the trigger point region for the upper lumbar region
  3. positive segmental mobility testing in the upper lumbar spine
  4. facet tenderness
  5. pain inhibiting injection
45
Q

What is ankylosing spondylitis?

A
  1. the disease attacks the synovial, enthesis and cartiliage of the axilla skeleton
  2. the disease under goes a process of inflammation and hypermobility
  3. as it progresses the effected joints undergo hypobility and ankylosing
46
Q

What is the clinical profile of an ankylosing spondylitis patient?

A
  1. primary white
  2. 4:1 males to females
  3. onset usually late teens or early 20s, rarely after 40
  4. progression is over a 10-15 year period
47
