Q

What is the Lumbar Treatment Based Classification System?

A
  • A system that helps clinicians determine subtypes of low back pain and guides treatment decisions.

A

if there is peripheralization

51
Q

What is centralization?

A
  • When movement or a position results in abolishment of pain that is more distally to a location more proximal
  • the patient must have LE pain
52
Q

Abolished centralization?

A

53
Q

reductive centralization?

A

A
  • FABQ-physical activity < 8
  • aberrant movement absent

P-A spring test and spinal torsion test will help you determine what?

A
  • whether the patient is too loose or too tight
61
Q

stability/ progressive loading

A
  • improve the overall ability of the system to withstand forces
  • hip stabilizers
  • deep core musculature
  • glute strengthening
62
Q

functional exercise position progressions

A
  1. supported supine or prone
  2. suspending quadruped
  3. stacked tall or half kneeling

A
  • resent onset or longstanding
  • high acute pain or more chronic pain
  • low fear or high fear
