Proper muscle contraction allows for stability by providing what?
Force transference
What are the 4 ways to screen for lower cross?
Pome instability test, hip extension pattern, hip abduction pattern, glute bridges
What are the ways to test mobility in the lumbar spine
Toe touch, prone instability
What are ways to evaluate lumbar motor controls?
Hip extension, hip abduction pattern, glute bridge
What are ways to evaluate the lumbars for functional patters?
Dead lift, lunge, deep squat
What is a positive PA instability test?
Reduced pain when lifting legs
Where do you place your hands for hip extension motion pattern?
One on glues, one on thoracolumbar paraspinals
What are the order of the muscles in the hip extension motion matter? (4)
Ipsi hamstring, ipsi gluteals, contra spinal extensor, ipsi spinal extensors
What is the faulty pattern if there is an inability to hold knee extension?
**facilitated hamstrings—–inhibited glutes
Faulty patterns for forced lumbar extension are?
Facilitated thoracolumbar extensors, inhibited glutes. Hypermobile lumbar segments .
Upper back foracic spine activation first with _______activation. Evaluate what?
Contralateral latissimus dorsi
How should you treat for altered hit extension?
Stent has the tight muscles (inhibit) hip flexors, psosas quads. Stench hams. Then strengthen weak muscles glutes, abs
What is the order of the hip abduction motor pattern?
- Side lying with lower leg flexed. 2. Slow raise leg toward ceiling. 3. Observe for normal motion. 4. Hold position and observe for drift.
What is the problem if there is decreased ROM (<45) on altered hip abduction pattern??
Adductor tightness
What is the problem if there is a hip flexion (toward drift) ?
TFL substitution
What is the problem on hip abduction matters hip external to action ( foot flare) ?
Piriformis substitution
What is the problem on altered hip abduction patten in hip hiking ( bending at the waist)
QL substitution
What are ways to treat poor hip abduction motor patten?
Strength addictions ( TFL QL piriformis) strengthen glute med
What are ways to strengthen glute medius ?
Side lying hip abd, side plank, wall press, monster walk
Where should you direct forces when lifting?
Though the navel, keep forces through the low back
