LUMBAR Flashcards
Lumbar rotation occurs on which plane/ axis?
Horizontal/ Y
If sacral-lumbar response occurs during lumbar flexion, which motion will occur at the sacrum?
Extension
Tightness of the right multifidi may create what motion during the seated flexion test?
Compensatroy left vertebral rotation
What represents the general orientation of the lumbar facet joints?
sagital plane orientated
The right lumbar multifidi function as stabilizers for?
right lumbar rotation
Which direction is the nucleus of the intervertebral disc forced during lumbar flexion?
Posterior
The TPs move posterior on which side during lumbar rotation to the left?
Left side
Lumbar flexion will cause the SP of the moving segment to_______ from the SP of the segment below.
distract
What occurs to the rt and lt facet joints during lumbar side bending to the right?
right facets close/ left facets open
while observing your client’s Gait, you notice a restriction in left torso rotation. What may be the cause?
tight left psoas major
The mechanics of a positive slump test, in which the outcome is increase neural symptoms, are:
the lumbar flexion and sacral extension create a posterior/ lateral pressure on the nerve root
What is the force creating the motion of the lumbar spine during the down phase of the standing flexion test?
Gravity
During the straight leg test, what are the mechanics occurring to create a positive outcome?
the pelvis is tilting posterior, causing the sacrum to extend and the lumbar to flex
When the resistance to a motion is Gravity, you can_________ that resistance by adding mass.
increase
Lumbar sidebending (tilt component) occurs on which plane/ Axis?
Frontal/ Z
