Q

What 6 things should pt education and counseling emphasize?

A

promotion of understanding the anatomical/structural strength of the spine
neuroscience that explains pain perception
favorable prognosis
active pain coping strategies that decrease fear
early resumption of normal activities
importance of improving activity level, not just pain level

16
Q

What pt education is good for Acute LBP? (mod)

A

active education strategies

17
Q

What pt education is good for chronic LBP

A

pain neuroscience education and PT interventions (manual therapy)

18
Q

What pts should you NOT use traction on

A

acute/subacute pts w/o radicular LBP or pts with CLBP

19
Q

What pts can you use traction on? (weak evidence)

A

intermittent traction for signs of n root compression and peripheralization

20
Q

What are the 5 clinical prediction rules for pts who are likely to respond to SPINAL MANIPULATION?

A
  1. duration of symptoms < 16 days (ACUTE)
  2. FABQ work subscale < 19 (not afraid of movement)
  3. at least one hip > 35 degrees of IR (don’t have OA)
  4. hypomobility in L spine
  5. NO symptoms distal to knee
21
Q

Evidence for SPINAL STENOSIS recommendation:

A

manipulation + exercise

22
Q

Evidence for pts with CLBP – spinal manip, back school and exsc therapy

A

spinal manip is best

23
Q

evidence for specific stabilization exercises (MF)

A

lower recurrence of LBP

24
Q

Clinical prediction rules for stabilization exercise program

A

3 or more to predict success with program
- age < 40
- avg SLR > 91 degrees (losey goosey)
- aberrant mvmnt present
- positive prone instability test

25
Q

clinical prediction rule for radiographic instability

A

2 or more to rule in
- are < 37
- lumbar flexion ROM > 53 deg
- total ext ROM > 26
- beighton scale of general laxity > 2
- segmental intervertebral testing (PA) lack of hypomobility )not excessive, not restricted)

26
Q

Rhythmic stabilization and combined isotonic exsc (alternating conc/ecc contraction) both showed sig improvement in static endurance and lumbar mobility in what pts?

A

chronic LBP

27
Q

extension oriented centralization and directional preference is good for what pts?

A

LBP + referred LE pain
EOTA better than strengthening for THIS pt population

28
Q

Spinal stenosis evidence for excs…

A

flexion oriented! alone it is not enough, must combine with MT, impairment specific excs

29
Q

Slump stretching > lumbar mob + exsc is better for what pts?

A

LBP + REFERRED pain, not radiculopathy

30
Q

Distraction manip and nerve mob is effective and safe in what pts?

A

Lumbar stenosis + leg pain w or w/o LBP

31
Q
  • No diff in pain intensity, pain pressure threshold and disability in motor control group and nerve mob + motor control group
  • Nerve mob pt improved in SLR / neuropathic symptoms
    What pts?
A

Lumbar radiculopathy due to disc herniation

32
Q

Traction in FLEXION vs EXTENSION

A

flexion: greater separation of IV foramen (stenosis)
extension: greater separation of disc space

33
Q

Joint Hypomobility
Facet Impingement
M spasm

A

little or no impact w or w/o other treatment

38
Q

how effective is traction for LBP+leg pain +signs of n root compression

A
  • Traction = greater improvements in disability and fear after 2 wks

  • NO diff at 6wks
39
Q

  • Continuous lumbar traction for decreasing size of material
40
