Q

What is peripheralization?

A

A situation in which referred symptoms move to a more distal point during a mechanical test

20
Q

What 5 observations, relative to pain, are characteristic of an examination for patients with derangement syndrome?

A
  1. Acute deformity is often present.
  2. Pain is felt during movement.
  3. Pain changes location - it can centralize and/or peripheralize, as per ‘change in pain’.

  5. A rapid change in curve reversal is common.
21
Q

List 2 interventions used to treat patients with derangement syndrome.

A
  1. Correct the deformity.
  2. Provide education and exercises to promote movement and positioning into the direction that centralizes pain with test movements, and avoiding the movement that peripheralizes pain with test movements.
22
Q

List the 10 movements that make up a McKenzie examination.

A
  1. FIS (flexion in standing)
  2. RFIS (repeated flexion in standing)
  3. EIS (extension in standing)
  4. REIS (repeated extension in standing)
  5. FIL (flexion in lying)
  6. RFIL (repeated flexion in lying)
  7. EIL (extension in lying)
  8. REIL (repeated extension in lying)
  9. SGIS (L and R) (side gliding in standing)
  10. RSGIS (L and R) (repeated side gliding in standing)
23
Q

In terms of McKenzie tests, movement tested in standing are _____ tests, whereas those in lying are _____. ROM will be greater with movements tested in _____.

A

Standing = weight bearing tests

Lying = non-WB tests

Lying = greater ROM

24
Q

McKenzie recommends that each of the test movements be performed up to ____ times.

A

10

25
Q

What 6 movements should be tested in end range if the 10 movements fail to change symptoms?
