Q

True or false: bilateral extensions/flexions of the sacrum are common causes of LBP

A

True

20
Q

What are the three main reasons LBP may become chronic?

A
  1. Lack of specific diagnosis
  2. Lack of treatment for a specific SD
  3. Failure to recognize and treat strain patterns
21
Q

What is the diagnostic process? (5)

A
  1. H&P
  2. rapid, then specific structural exam
  3. Red flags
  4. labs/radiology
  5. OMM
22
Q

True or false: you only need one element of TART to diagnose a SD, but the more there are, the more significant the SD

A

True

23
Q

When are you done treating LBP? (3)

A
  • Pain is gone
  • SDs are gone
  • Pt has been in CCP for two visits, and you have treated them for it
24
Q

Long standing SDs in the low back may lead to what?

A

Disc pathology
Facet arthritis
Stenosis

25
Q

What is the most common SDs of the back in patient 20 yo and younger?

A

SDs of the L-spine, sacrum, and pelvis

26
Q

What is the most common SDs of the back in patients 21-45?

A

SDs of the L-spine, sacrum, and pelvis

27
Q

What is the most common SDs of the back in patients 46-65?

A

SDs of the L-spine, sacrum, and pelvis

28
Q

What is the most common SDs of the back in patients 65+?

A

SDs of the L-spine, sacrum, and pelvis

29
Q

What is the most common mechanical disorder of the spine?

A

Muscle strains

30
Q

What is the more common type of BST: right on left, or left on Right?

A

Right on left

31
Q

Which is the more common, right unilateral sacral flexion, or left unilateral sacral flexion?

A

Right unilateral

32
Q

Which is more common: right up-slip or a left up-slip?

A

Right

33
Q

Which is more common: right on right FST, or a left on left RST?

A

Right on right

34
Q

How common are unilateral sacral extension? How painful are they?

A

really uncommon, but very painful

35
Q

Running on an uneven surface = what SD?

A

Innominate up/down-slips

36
Q

Sleep cycle disturbance d/t LBP is usually associated with what SD?

A

Type II

37
Q

True or false: most of the SDs that cause pain are CCP

A

True

38
Q

Pain preceded by fast extension of the spine = what SD?

A

Type II SD of the lumbar spine

39
Q

How long does it take for an upslip to present with pain?

A

Few days

40
Q

What is the problem with short leg/pelvic tilt syndrome?

A

Is not a SD, but leads to them

41
Q

What muscles should be strengthened to prevent SDs of the spine?

A

Core

42
Q

What are the steps of the diagnostic treatment process for SDs?

A
  1. History
  2. PE
  3. Rapid structural screen
  4. Structural exam
  5. Red flags
  6. Order stuff
  7. OMM
43
Q

True or false: the more elements of TART you have, the worse the SD

A

True

44
Q

What are the 10 steps of the rapid structural screen?

A
  1. Gait
  2. St flexion
  3. Seated flexion
  4. Spinal sweep
  5. Vertebral TTP
  6. Paraspinal musculature
  7. Rib sweep
  8. Respiratory rib motion
  9. Rib TTP
  10. Supine body asymmetry
45
Q

When do you know that you no longer need to treat the patient with OMM, besides loss of pain and lack of SD that cause pain.

A

The patient has been in CCP for two visits in a row, and you have treated them for it.

46
Q

What are the objective findings that indicate that a patient has resolved their SD? (5)

A
  • Standing/seated flexion is negative
  • Sphinx test is negative
  • normal spinal curves
  • Paraspinal muscles with normal tone
  • Supine body in neutral
