Diagnoses

Question 1

TART for the Sacrum

Answer 1

1) Tissue Texture changes –> quadratus lumborum, erector spinae, piriformis, hamstrings… flip over and do rectus abdominis, quadriceps, adductors
2) Asymmetry
3) Range of Motion

4 Tenderness

Question 2

TAT for Lumbar and Thoracics

Answer 2

1) Tissue Texture Abnormalities
2) Asymmetry –> standing up and looking at their shoulders.
3) Tenderness to palpation

Question 3

TART Screen for the Ribs

Answer 3

Tissue Texture abnormalities on the Ribs

Asymmetry with inhalation and exhalation, and through translation from side to side.

Question 4

TART Screen for the Ribs

Answer 4

Tissue Texture abnormalities on the Ribs

Asymmetry with inhalation and exhalation, and through translation from side to side.

Range of motion –> same thing

Tenderness to palpation

Question 5

Inhalation vs exhalation dysfunction

Answer 5

as they’re breathing out, and one side does not go down as far –> inhalation dysfunction, exhalation restriction

if you’re breathing in and one side does not come up as far, exhalation dysfunction, inhalation restriction

Question 6

Diagnosis of the Innominate?

Answer 6

1) standing flexion test / ASIS compression
2) reset the hips
2) PSIS heights, ASIS heights, inflare and out flare, medial malleoli heights

Question 7

Diagnosis of the sacrum?

Answer 7

1) seated flexion test
2) Lumbosacral spring –> if positive it’s extended, negative is flexed
3) sphinx test –> sacral sulci even out = flexed.. get worse = extended.
4) 4pt dx
