Midterm Practical Flashcards
Straight Leg Raise Test
Sn = .92
Sp = .28
Complete the following actions
1. Ankle DF
2. Hip IR and Hip adduction
3. Cervical flexion
reproduction should occur with 30-70° of flexion
Slump Test
Patient sits upright with hands clasped behind back and knees together
introduce motion in this order
1. THoracic spinal flexion
2. Neck flexion
3. Knee extension
4. Ankle DF
5. Release neck flexion
SN = .84-1.0
SP = .7-1.0
+LR = 3.0-11.9
Results of slump test
assess ROM and pain resonse before, during and after each added movement
apply overpressure IF indicated
if symptoms decrease with release of neck flexion, this may implicate adverse neural dynamics as a possible source of symptoms
Joint play options for hip
long axis distraction
long axis compression
lateral distraction
Special tests for muscle length
Thomas = hip flexor
Ely = rectus femoris
Ober = ITB
FABER test
- patient supine
- PT stabilizes at contralateral ASIS
- Foot of limb to be tested placed just proximal to opposite patella
- Testing limb overpressured into abduction/ER
Positive FABER
testing intra-articular issues
positive if it recreates their anterior/groin pain
SN = .57
SP = .71
+LR = 1.9
FADIR Test
- passively flex, adduct, IR to end range
Indicative of FAI
adding compression with less adduction = indicative of labral tear
FADIR Positive
Positive if it recreates their S/S
SN = .78
SP = .10
-LR = 2.3
Pubic Patellar Percussion Test
an abnormal PPPT should be suspected of having bony pathology
Positive means that there is an ABNORMAL bony pathology, not a specific test
looking for a dull/diminished sound
Olecranon-Manubrium Percussion
for shoulder injuries like dislocations, clavicular fractures
elbows are flexed at 90°
stethoscope bell over manubrium, direct percussion of each olecranon process
Step Down Test Scoring
0-1 = good
2-3 = moderate
≥ 4 = poor
Arm strategy
patient removes the hands from the waist
1 point is given
Trunk movement
patient leans the trunk to either side
1 point is given
Pelvic plane
if one side of the pelvis is rotated in the transverse plane or elevated in the frontal plane compared with the other side
Knee position
- if knee of the tested limb moves medially in the frontal plane and the tibial tuberosity corssed an imaginary vertical line positioned directly over the second toe fo the tested foot. 1 point
- If the knee moves medially and the tibial tuberosity crossed an imaginary vertical line positioned directly over the medial border of the tested foot, 2 points
Maintenance of a steady unilateral stance
subject has to support body weight on the non-tested limb or the foot of the tested limb moved during testing
1 point is given
Angle >15° femoral torsion
increased anteversion leads to squinting patellae and pigeon toed walking, twice as common in girls
Angle < 8° femoral torsion
retroversion
