Lower quarter screen Flashcards
1
Q
Lumbar spine portion of the LQS
A
- AROM flexion, extension, side bending, rotation
- Passive overpressures if no symptoms with AROM
- Quadrant tests in flexion and extension if no change in symptoms
2
Q
Quadrant tests of the lumbar spine
A
- extension, rotation, side bend
- Flexion, rotation, side bend
- Extension over pressure = axial load
- flexion is normal
3
Q
LE - Closed chain portion of the LQS
A
- hip and knee flexion, ankle dorsiflexion
- Walk on toes – plantar flexors
- Walk on heels – dorsiflexors
4
Q
LE open chain of the hip
A
- Flexion with overpressure
- abduction with overpressure
- adduction with overpressure
- ER with overpressure
- IR with overpressure
- extension with over pressure don’t ask to flip back and forth as after done with the whole exam
5
Q
LE open chain of the knee
A
- flexion with overpressure
- extension with overpressure
6
Q
LE open chain of the ankle
A
- Ankle dorsiflexion/ plantar flexion, inversion/eversion
- Passive overpressures if no change in symptoms
7
Q

A
- (L1-2) hip flexion (iliopsoas)
- (L3-4) knee extension (quadriceps)
- (L4-5) dorsiflexion (tibialis anterior)
- (L5) great toe extension (extensor hallicus longus)
- (S1) plantar flexion (gastroc/soleus)
8
