Interventions Flashcards
List the 4 groups of ICF Classifications for LBP
- Acute/Subacute with MOBILITY deficits
- Acute/subacute/chronic with MVMT COORDINATION impairment
- Acute with REFERRED LE pain
- Acute/subacute/chronic with RADIATING pain
(manual therapy, strong evidence)
What group of pts is THRUST manipulation good for?
acute LBP, pt with mobility deficits and back-related buttock or thigh pain
(manual therapy, strong evidence)
What group of pts is THRUST and NONTHRUST mobilization good for?
Subacute/chronic LBP pts with mobility deficits
What type of manual therapy is recommended for pts with acute LBP?
thrust AND nonthrust to reduce pain and disability
soft tissue mob and massage for short term pain relief
What type of manual therapy is recommended for pts with chronic LBP?
thrust OR nonthrust joint mob to reduce pain and disability
soft tissue mob, massage, and DN for short term pain relief
What type of manual therapy is recommended for pts with chronic LBP with leg pain?
(mod evidence) thrust OR nonthrust mob to reduce pain and disability
nerve mob + other treatments to improve pain and disability
What type of manual therapy is recommended for pts with chronic LBP with leg pain?
(mod evidence) thrust OR nonthrust mob to reduce pain and disability
nerve mob + other treatments to improve pain and disability
What patients would benefit from trunk coordination, strengthening and endurance exercises?
pts with subacute and chronic LBP with coordination impairment and pts post lumbar microdiscectomy
which pts would benefit from mod-high intensity exercises and incorporating progressive, low intensity submaximal fitness and endurance activity into the pain management and health promotion strategies?
Chronic LBP without generalized pain
Repeated movements for promoting centralization to reduce symptoms in pts is good for…
acute LBP with related LE pain
Repeated exercises in a specific direction for improving mobility and reducing symptoms is good for pts with…
acute, subacute and chronic LBP with MOBILITY deficits
(mod evidence)
use of specific trunk muscle activation and trunk mobility exercises to reduce pain is good for
Acute LBP
(Mod evidence)
trunk muscle strengthening, endurance, and specific trunk muscle activation to reduce pain is good for
acute LBP with leg pain
Exercise recommendations for general CHRONIC LBP
trunk muscle strengthening and endurance, multimodal exercise interventions, specific trunk muscle activation, aerobic exercise or general exercise
Exercise recommendations for older adults CHRONIC LBP
trunk m strengthening (spinal stabilization) and endurance exercise or general exercise
Specific trunk m activation and movement control is good for
1. strong evidence
2. mod evidence
- chronic LBP with movement control impairment
- chronic LBP with leg pain
What 6 things should pt education and counseling emphasize?
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
