Exam 2 Flashcards

1
Q

what is this test?

A

thomas test:

Positive when there is a contraction or contracture of the psoas muscle

  • norm = extended leg should contact table
  • space = iliopsoas spasm

Q

interstitial fluid pressure and lymph sys

A

approximately -6.3mmHg and flow at 120cc/hr

incrase in interstitial P –> increases absorption into cap

Q

IV disc components

A
  • Fibrocartilaginous joint
  • Annulus fibrosis
  • thicker anteriorly and thinner posteriorly.
  • Nucleus pulposus
  • Interlocking crosshatch
  • allows the disc to undergo rotary motions and shearing forces while still maintaining restrictive stability.

•Attachment to anterior & posterior longitudinal ligaments

Q

Pathophysiology – Psoas Syndrome

A

M is position of strain and then suddenly lengthens

CNS senses “overstretch” –> reflex contraction

  • inc in alpha moto output = incr in gamma firing

•Secondary piriformis syndrome-more common

  • – trauma, ischemic mass effect, local ischemia
  • •Macrotrauma to buttocks inflammation and muscle spasm creating nerve compression
  • •Microtrauma due to overuse as in running/walking or direct compression (“wallet neuritis”/sitting on hard surfaces)

Q

A 50-year-old male comes to your office with chronic low back pain. His back pain is a dull ache that radiates into the buttock and thighs bilaterally. The pain is made worse with standing or walking 20 minutes or more and maintaining extension. Pain is relieved completely with sitting. Range of motion of his lumbar spine is decreased. Sensation is decreased in both feet in a stocking like distribution. Percussion on the spinous processes produce no pain. There is no fever, no weight loss and undisturbed sleep. What is the most likely finding this patient will have on radiological studies?

A. A herniated nucleus pulposus on magnetic resonance imaging.

B.Spondylolisthesis of the L1 on L2

C.Spondylosis of the lumbar spine.

D.Loss of definition of a vertebral end-plate and elevation of the periosteum suggestive of vertebral osteomyelitis.

E.Lytic (punched-out lesions) spinal metastases involving the lumbar vertebrae.
