A
  • place under L/S

  • 10 reps for 10 sec holds
  • add arm and leg movements as able while maintaining stability
20

  • add small hip extension (just clear leg)
  • TA and glute squeeze with alternating arm lift
  • quadraped arm lift
  • quadraped leg lift
  • combined UE and LE movements in quadraped “bird dogs”

**could put stick or ball on back in quadraped and say “don’t let this move”

21
Q

Sitting Stabilization

A
  • *often start on swiss ball if appropriate (A/P, M/L, CW/CCW), find neutral
    1. TA and glute set
    2. arm lifts
    3. leg lifts (knees bent)
    4. combined alternating arm and leg lifts (opp hand to opp knee)
22
Q

Transfers Progression

A
  1. sit to stand
  2. side lunges
  3. “trips” while holding swiss ball
  4. add perturbations to swiss ball (rhythmic stabilization)
23
Q

Initial Core Contraction Instruction

A
  1. pelvic floor contraction
  2. TA contraction (draw in maneuver)
  3. Multifidi contraction

10x10sec
**can easily palpate all 3 in quadraped (however can be performed in sitting, supine, prone, or quadraped)

24
Q

Lumbopelvic Spinal Stabilization (Olson) Phase I

A
  1. TA activation in hooklying
  2. TA marches in hooklying
  3. single leg bent knee fallouts (other leg ext. on table)
  4. SLR with other leg bent
  5. prone over pillow hip extension with TA
  6. sidelying “clamshells”
25
Q

Lumbopelvic Spinal Stabilization (Olson) Phase II

A
  1. quadraped over swiss ball, lift one leg straight while maintaining TA activation
  2. quadraped without swiss ball, same leg lifts, can put cane on back for feedback
  3. sidelying hip abduction, bottom leg flexed at hip and knee
  4. standing theraband GH extension with diagonal stance
  5. standing theraband GH horizontal abduction with athletic stance
  6. wall slide
  7. seated marches on swiss ball (caution: discogenic pathologies may peripheralize in sitting)
  8. seated on swiss ball: theraband scaption
  9. theraband resisted side stepping with theraband above knees (go until fatigue noted with hip abduction)
26
Q

Lumbopelvic Spinal Stabilization (Olson) Phase III

A
  1. forward lunge with weighted ball reach to knee
  2. lateral lunge with weighted ball reach to bent knee
  3. wall slide squat with swiss ball
  4. sit squat with hip hinge and forward reach with ball to facilitate glute action; knees pressed apart against theraband to assist glute med
  5. lifting training with weighted crate and diagonal movement pattern
27
Q

“shotgun approach”

A

for pubic dysfunction

28
Q

upslip correction

A

pt coughs while PT pulls via long axis, block other foot with your body

29
Q

Laslett Cluster

30
Q

Supine to Sit Test

A

long to short –> anterior innominate

short to long –> posterior innominate

31
Q

Correction for Posterior Innominate

A
  • Supine: use RA to bring pelvis anteriorly, pt in Gaenslen position and PT resists extended hip for 5 sec count
  • Prone: PT pulls affected LE into hip ext and pt pulls down towards table, PT “coaxes” iliac crest during muscle contraction
32
Q

Cibulka Cluster (posterior innominate)

A
    • standing flexion test
  1. ASIS high and PSIS low on + standing flexion test
  2. supine to sit short to long on involved side
  3. Greater ER than IR on posterior innominate side
33
Q

Correction for Anterior Innominate

A
  • Supine: flex affected knee and hip up, have pt push against you into hip extension
  • Sidelying: PT stands between pt’s legs, affected LE on top, pt “squeezes” PT and PT guides manually
34

A

pt hooklying, PT’s arm under one thigh and over other

35
Q

Correction for Anterior Torsion

A

Left on Left

  1. pt sidelying on R side
  2. flex B hips
  3. rotate back
  4. pt holds on

  6. Resist feet pushing down

monitoring bottom sacral base trying to get it to come back

Left on Right

  1. pt sidelying on R side
  2. rotate down
  3. pt holds on
  4. extend bottom leg
  5. drop top leg
  6. resist lifting top leg

monitoring top sacral base to feel it come forward

37
Q

Correction for Unilateral Flexion

A

15 deg abduction of leg
3-5 “sips” while PT puts pressure on posterior ILA of affected side
Repeat 3-4 times
Apply downward pressure with heel of hand toward umbilicus

38
Q

General SI Approach (Jackson)

A
  1. Correct Superior Shear (upslip): 2-3 leg pulls
  2. Mobilization of Ilium in Sagittal Plane: with pt in supine and hips at 90, alternating push/pull holds 2-3 times for 2-3 sec each
  3. Mobilization of Ilium in Transverse Plane: 2 part –> 1. hip in 90, stabilize opp hip, push medially with body. 2. hip in 45 and slight add, pull towards ext
  4. Mobilization of Sacrum in Transverse Plane: sidelying with top hip 90, mod trunk rotation, push trunk away and pull pelvis forward, push knee down to activate piriformis
  5. Sacral Mobilization in Sagittal Plane: prone, heel of hand on sacral base, exhale, hold pressure while inhaling. Then inhale and hold pressure into exhale. Repeat several times.
