22
Q

how is traction evaluated

A

with attempts at centralization

neurological assessment will show hard neural signs

23
Q

what promotes centralization (lumbar)

A

static mechanic traction in prone

24
Q

what promotes centralization (cervical)

A

supine intermittent traction

25
Q

what is centralization

A

closer the pain is to the center of the body, the better

pressure off the nerves

26
Q

acute injury

A

new injury or within 2-4 wks

27
Q

what do we use for an acute injury

A

spinal manipulative therapy

exercise

advice to remain active

28
Q

subacute injury

A

4-12 weeks

29
Q

what do we recommend for subacute injuries

A

stress importance of exercise and movement to prevent chronicity

30
Q

chronic injuries

A

12 wks +

31
Q

what do we use for chronic injuries

A

cognitive fxnal therapy
-education
-graded mvmt
-fxnal activities
-manual therapy

32
Q

other classification approaches

A

pathoanatomical based (medical model)

mvmt system impairment approach

mechanical dx and tx

osullivan classification system

33
Q

pathoanatomical based approach

A

causative structure

medical dx

34
Q

example of pathoanatomical based approach

A

disc

facet

stenosis

myofascial

SI

35
Q

problem with pathoanatomical model

A

people have pain

sometimes they dont know what the cause of their plan is

36
Q

movement system impairment approach is also called

A

sahrmann - MSI

37
Q

what does MSI do

A

IDs direction of aligment or mvmt that increase sxs

38
Q

what do we tx w/ MSI

A

cumulative trauma caused by impairment in alignment

stabilization of movement patterns of the spine

39
Q

what is the goal of MSI

A

balance the system

40
Q

how do we balance the system –> MSI

A

decreasing accessory motion at dysfxnal level

by improving mobility at other lvls

41
Q

what does MSI allow

A

lengthening of mm to shorten and less stiffness at others

42
Q

mechanical dx and treatment is also called

A

mckenzie

MDT

43
Q

what does MDT determine

A

if sxs can be reduced/centralized w/ repeated or sustained postures

44
Q

what is MDT most associated with

A

disc derangement

45
Q

what does MDT define

A

dysfxn and postural models

46
Q

what does MDT include

A

pt activated specific exercise

47
Q

osullivan classification system is also called

A

CBT

48
Q

what does CBT identify

A

mechanics considered to drive the pain

49
Q

what does CBT seek

A

to manage physical and cognitive drivers and maladaptive movement

50
Q

common pitfalls of PT (1)

A

imprecise motor skills providing inaccurate exam info

inability to analyze or alter movement

51
Q

common pitfalls of PT (2)

A

absence of interviewing skills

poor mastery of motor skills

poor mastery of pt educating and counseling skill required to address the pts needs

52
Q

A

malignancy

cauda equina

osteoporotic fx

back related infection

ankylosing spondylitis

53
Q

red flags (c/s & t/s)

A

cervical myelopathy

neoplastic conditions

cervical ligamentous instability

vertebral artery insufficiency

inflammatory or systemic dz

angina

pneumonia

spinal fx

54
Q

yellow flags

A

factors contributing

nociplastic pain or central sensitization
