Q

Decreased hip muscle performance of LSS

A

hip jt mob
increasing ext and rotation
hip flexor/quad lengthening

28
Q

Decreased trunk muscle performance of LSS

A

trunk stabilization with LE ex
bridging
quadruped
planks

29
Q

Decreased hip muscle performance LSS

A

hip strengthening
emphasize on extension and abduction

30
Q

LSS prognosis

A

expect at least 6 to 12 weeks for improvement

might need steroid injection, elective surgery, or radiofrequency ablation

31
Q

Spondylolisthesis

A

slip forward of the spine

can be degenerative, microtraumatic changes, traumatic, congenital, systemic

32
Q

Degenerative spondylolisthesis

A

common in older female obese adults

33
Q

Isthmic and Traumatic Spondylolisthesis

A

more common in pediatric population

usually hyperextension with impact like gymnasts, football, butterfly stroke

most happen at l5/S1 and are managed conservatively

34
Q

Degenerative Disc Disease

A

more than 50% of the population >30 /yo, and increases to 90% of pop >65

35
Q

S/S of DDD

A

loss of height
loss of motion in flex and ext
marked hypomobility
possible radicular S/S

36
Q

Manual Therapy

A

specialized, skilled hands-on techniques to produce a force on the body to restore function, increase ROm, decrease pain

joint directed
use of muscles to move jt
improve muscle extensibility
reduce muscle tone

37
Q

Mobilizations

A

passive therapeutic movement within a range of motion at variable amplitudes and speed

not always at the end of available range

38
Q

Manipulation

A

passive therapeutic movement of small amplitude and high velocity at the end of available ROM

39
Q

Passive physiologic intervertebral movements

A

flex, ext, SB, rotation

40
Q

Passive accessory intervertebral movements

A

slide, glide, roll, spin, translate

41
Q

Closed packed and manual therapy

A

typically don’t do manual therapy in closed packed position because jt surfaces are the most congruent

42
Q

Barrier Concept

A

Joint movement is limited by anatomic barrier

passive motion occurs within the physiologic to anatomic barrier

active ROM occurs between the physiologic barrier

in a dysfunctional system, the motion loss decreases how much active motion is present

43
Q

Type 1 Spinal Motion

A

neutral mechanics
SB and rotation occur to opposite sides

44
Q

Type 2 mechanics

A

when supine is flexed or extended, SB and rotation occur to the same side. Uncoupled motions

easier to feel and manipulate the cervical spine

45
Q

Type 3 Mechanics

A

motion in one plane reduces motion in remaining two planes

46
Q

Why do we need mobilize joints?

A

synovial fluid movement
extensibility of soft tissues
maintain proprioception
muscles can’t move locked jts
muscles can’t heal w/locked jts

jt that lack normal mob increase wear

47
Q

Theoretical Benefits of Manipulative Therapy

A

stretching of soft tissue
pain inhibition
positive patient expectation
provider expectation
neural plastic changes
alteration in motor neuron excite
increase in cortical drive

48
Q

Manipulative therapy does NOT

A

release joint adhesion
nitrogen gas bubbles cavitating
correcting a subluxed segment
fixing alignment

49
Q

Biomechanical benefits of manual therapy

A

vertebral segment movement
gapping of facets
increase tissue extensibility
not site specific
short term changes
doesn’t change alignment

50
Q

Neurophysiological benefits of manual therapy

A

patient expectations
stimulation of spinal afferents
enhanced motor neuron excitability
reflex post synaptic inhibition
inhibition of nociceptive transmission

51
Q

when to NOT manipulate with HVLA thrust

A

active infection
suspected or known fracture
osteoporosis
acute whiplash associated disorder
cauda equina syndrome
worsening neurologic condition
RA
cancer
cervical instability
vertebro artery insufficiency
adverse reaction
patient declines

52
Q

A
  1. Duration of S/S less than 16 days

  3. FABQ work subscale <19
  4. At least one hip IR PROM >35°
  5. Hypomobility at one or more lumbar levels with spring testing
53
Q

What two symptoms of childs/lynn study are the most important for manipulation and success with LBP

A

recent onset
no symptoms distal to knee

54
Q

Biggest mistakes with manual therapies

A
  1. not practicing enough
  2. not screening patients
  3. Saying all patients need manual therapy or manupulation
  4. Not adjusting your treatment plan as you go
55
Q

Transient Side Effects of Manipulation

A

local discomfort, headache, tiredness, radiating discomfort

usually resolves within 24 hours and rarely lead to impairment

56
Q

Causes of complication arising from manual therapy

A

incorrect patient selection
lack of diagnosis and complications
indadequate assessment
wrong forces
lack of consent

poor technique
excessive force, magnitude, leverage
poor positioning
lack of feedback

57
Q

Contraindications to manipulation

A

bony issues
nerve issues
vascular
lack of diagnosis
lack of patient consent

58
