Q

what would you find during the physical examination for a patient who is classified into stabilization?

A

aberrant motion, positive PIT test, SLR > 91 degrees, hypermobility

17
Q

what are some findings that could point to a person who would fall into the stabilization classification?

A

hypermobility, frequent prior episodes, + response to immobilization, younger age

18
Q

what is the findings for a specific exercise patient?

A

centralization phenomenon with movement exam, postural preference,

19
Q

what would point you towards putting a patient in the traction category?

A

neurological signs, leg symptoms, peripherialization with movement, CSLR positive

20
Q

what would a patient within the stability category subjectively report?

A

good and bad day, catching, pain at end ranges, pain with sustained postures

21
Q

would you expect to see hyper or hypo mobility in the prone PA of a stabilization patient?

A

hypermobility

22
Q

what are some physical exam tests you can perform to classify a patient in the stability category?

A

prone PA mobility, PPIVM, PIT, passive lumbar extension test

23
Q

what is ankylosing spondylitis?

A

an inflammatory disease that ossifies the SIJ and the lower back

24
Q

what are key components of history of AS

A

gradual onset before age 40, males>females, marked morning stiffness, ROM limitations in all directions

25
Q

in what disorder will you see the iron back?

A

ankylosing spondylitis

26
Q

how do we treat ankylosing spondylitis?

A

constant mobilization, breathing exercises, stabilization exercises

27
Q

what is lumbar spinal stenosis?

A

compression of the nerve root through the canal

28
Q

can imaging alone be used to dx LSS?

A

no, imaging as well as a physical exam are needed

29
Q

what position will someone with LSS prefer?

A

flexion, opens up nerve root canal

30
Q

what are some important clinical findings for LSS?

A

over 65, no pain with flexion, pain below buttocks, absence of pain will seated

31
Q

what is a concern with LSS patients?

A

neurogenic or vascular claudication

32
Q

how do you differentiate between neurogenic and vascular claudication?

A

neurogenic symptoms will get better with spinal flexion, the vascular will not

33
Q

what is a test that can be used to confirm neurogenic claudication?

A

two stage treadmill test

34
Q

how do we treat LSS?

A

manual therapy and exercise to strengthen global stabilizers
