Q

Scoring for movement screens (with some recommended followup)

A

• 0 = pain (not a stretch) Perform Ortho eval
• 1 = can’t perform movement/at least 50% loss of ROM
Correction (mobilization or stabilization)
• 2 = performs movement with compensation
(imperfect)/looks OK, but dysfunction is present
• 3 = performs movement without compensation
(perfect)

Q

Goal of movement screen scoring

A

All 7 tests should achieve a 2 (14pts)

Q

Functional instability findings from history

A
Complaints of “giving way” or “going out”
Recurrent episodes
Pain during sudden or trivial activities
Pain during transitional activities
Pain with sustained postures
Difficulty with unsupported sitting
Short term relief from manual therapy
17
Q

Functional instability findings from exam

A
Aberrant movement pattern during active trunk flexion
Painful arc on return
Minor’s Sign (“thigh climbing”)
Catching or locking
Reversal of lumbopelvic rhythm
(+) Prone Instability Test
18
Q

Passive Leg Extension Test suggests what?

A

An unstable spondylolisthesis

19
Q

4 clues leaning towards response to stabilization exercises

A

(+) Prone Instability test
Patient <40y.o.
Bilat. SLR Flexibility over >91*
Aberrant Lx Flexion

20
Q

Management for instability

A
• Diaphragmatic Breathing
• Abdominal bracing/Neutral pelvis
• Hip hinging
• Lumbar stabilization exercises
– Quad. Track/Bridge Track/Side Bridge Track
• CMT to adjacent areas
21
Q

Rehabilitation strategy for disc injuries

A

Address postural or muscle imbalances
Eval and train: Cx joint dysfunction, scapula stabilizers and breathing
Retrain proprioception
Work on muscle endurance

22
Q

What to assess when checking posture

A

Thx extension with motion palpation: T4 Mobility
Pec evaluation with length test: Sternal portion
Controlled head nodding (not retraction): Look for shaking/ratcheting = Indicates deep Cx flexor weakness
Shoulder abduction movement pattern: Shldr hiking/imbalances from side to side
Breathing/Respiration: Muscles involved are also postural muscles

23
Q

Management for problems with thoracic extension

A
  • Manipulation
  • Bruggers Relief Position
  • Foam rolling
  • Table Walks
  • Lat. Pull-downs
  • Banded Pull-a-parts
  • Serratus Punch
24
Q

Management for problems with tight thoracic muscles

A
  • PIR - Suboccipitals, Upper traps, Levator scap

* Doorway/Wall Corner Pec stretch

25
Q

Management for problems with weak thoracic muscles

A
Controlled Nodding
Craniocervical flexion exercise with biofeedback (BP cuff)
Chin retraction
Wall Angel 
Serratus punch (Thera-band/KB)
Push-up plus
26
Q

Faulty Breathing Patterns

A

Shallow breathing
• Decreased expiration
• Recurrent mid-thoracic pain
Faulty inspiration = Chest breathing/lifting up of sternum vertically, Upper trap, levator scap, and scalene over-activity, Overstraining C/S musculature, Recurrent cervical syndromes
• Paradoxical breathing = Abdominal expansion during expiration

27
Q

Acute Care Interventions

A
  • Active ROM
  • Passive ROM
  • Cx Isometrics
  • Directional preference (McKenzie)
28
Q

4 Step Rehab Strategy

A
•Strategy 1
Evaluate and Train Deep Neck Stabilizers
•Strategy 2
Assess and Treat Posture and Respiration
•Strategy 3
Address Muscle Imbalance of Large Torque Producers (upper cross)
•Strategy 4
Retrain Sensory Motor Response Loop
29
Q

5 things to touch on in assessment of posture

A

Anterior head carriage – fixed, habitual, dynamic
Thoracic kyphosis exercises - T4 Mobility Exercises/Foam Rolling/Table Walks
Respiration assessment: upright, supine, prone
Teach basic abdominal breathing
Abdominal breathing with bracing exercises

30
Q

3 portions of neurodynamics

A
  • Mechanical interface: Anything that resides next to the nervous system: tendon, muscles, bone, IVDs, ligaments, fascia, blood vessels, etc.
  • Innervated tissues: Skin, muscles, bone, fascia, and blood vessels
  • Neural structures: Nerve, Axon, etc…
31
Q

Effect of tension on blood flow

A

8% elongation reduces venous blood flow
15% elongation reduces all blood flow

A 6% strain held for an hour reduced nerve conduction by 70%. The longer the stretch the increased likelihood of producing adverseeffects

32
Q

Effect of compression on nerve roots

A

30-50 mm Hg causes hypoxia, impaired conduction and axonal transport
