Use this case for the next 2 questions:
A 70 year old with Medicare Part B is seen in outpatient for an evaluation and treatment. He lives alone and his only medical history is high blood pressure controlled by amlodipine. He completes an Oswestry Back Index and underwent a lower quarter screen. Additional objective measures included AROM measured by inclinometry, MMT, timed single leg balance, PA spinal mobility, abdominal and paraspinal strength testing as well as special tests for the SI and lumbar region. His condition began 3 months ago and has not changed much since. The PT is challenged a bit to find a pain generator and decision-making is pretty challenging. He received manual therapy for 8 minutes and was instructed in symptom control and home exercises (strength-focused) which took 12 minutes.
