Q

What is S1-2 myo?

A

19
Q

What is protective posture?

A

pt puts body into abnormal position to reduce pain, putting into correct alignment produces symptoms

20
Q

What is a non protective structural posture?

A

deformity that is not correctable, long standing scoliosis

21
Q

What is non protective behavioral posture?

A

result of pts personality, emotions, poor awareness, correction does not produce pain,

ex: slumped sitting posture

22
Q

What are two forms of passive motion?

A
  1. physiological/ osteokinematic- flexion, extension etc.

2. accessory/arthrokinematic- between joint surfaces- glide/slide translate

23
Q

If during passive motion patient presents with pain before tissue resistance what stage is it in?

A

acute inflammation

24
Q

If pain at same time as tissue resistance?

A

subacute condition

25
Q

If pain after tissue resistance?

A

chronic with tissue fibrosis

26
Q

For joint mobility what is grade 0 and what is treatment?

A

no movement, fused

do not mobilize, surgical intervention

27
Q

What are grades 1-2?

A

1- marked hypo mobility

2- slight hypo

treat- with mobility

28
Q

What is grade 3?

A

normal no treatment needed

29
Q

What are grades 4 and 5?

A

4- slight hyper

5- marked hyper

assess if nearby jts are hypo and treat with exercise, taping, bracing

30
Q

What is grade 6?

A

unstable possible subluxation

tx- bracing, splinting, casting, surgery

31
Q

What is indicative of a early muscle spasm during joint mobilization?

A

protection following an injury

32
Q

What about late ms spasm?

A

protection from instability or pain

33
Q

What about an early tissue stretch?

A

tight muscle

for example stretch appears way before normal range

34
Q

What about spasticity?

A

UMNL

35
Q

What about a hard capsular end feel?

A

adhesive capsulitis

36
Q

What about a soft capsular end feel?

A

synovitis, soft tissue edema

37
Q

What about bone to bone?

A

osteophyte formation

38
Q

What is an empty end feel?

A

pain before tissue resistance is likely an acute injury

39
Q

What about a springy block?

A

meniscal injury

40
Q

What does it mean if patient has a strong painless contraction?

A

normal

41
Q

If pt has a strong painful contraction?

A

minor muscle/ tendon lesion problem

42
Q

If pt has a weak and painful contraction?

A

major muscle/ tendon lesion

43
Q

If pt has a weak and painless contraction?

A

rupture of muscle/tendon or neurological lesion

44
Q

What are three options PT has after exam?

A
  1. do they need additional info
  2. can they state a PT diagnosis
  3. do they need to refer pt out
