Q

SLUMP

A

patient in seated
therpist instructs patient o place hans behind bak and go into a slumped posturing, round shoudlers and chin to chest
passive extension of the uninvoved kniee that repeats tst on invovled side
if symptoms have notbeen reproduced then DF is added
syptomsomtes of low back pain, radiating pain in posterior leg are recreated- pateitn extends neck to see if it relives pain
+ symtpoms elciited, pain releif with neck extension

57
Q

SLR

A

Pt is supine unaffected side first
therpist adducts medial rotates hip keeping knee fully extended
therpist flexes patients hip unil paitent indicates pain or tihgtness in posterior thigh
before 35 nerve slack being taken up
at 35 nerve roots are now under tension
at 60-70 sciateic roots tense over disc
aboce 70 pain is likely MSK ie hamstring test

SID- sural, DF and IV
TED-tbial, DF and EV
PIP-peroneal/common fibular, IV PF

58
Q

crossover sign

when performing an SLE on the unaffected side the pateint expereinces pain in the affected leg
inidcatio of a alrge disc buldge

59
Q

sign of the buttock

A

SLR performed untill restriction
knee is flexed to see if more ROm is available-there should be slack
++ hip felxion does not increase when knee is fleced, an indication of pathology behind the hip joint in the buttocks ( bursittis, tumor, absvess
