Module 7 Conditions

Question 1

Lumbosacral Pain
“Mechanical Pain”

Answer 1

Strain, sprain, SI joint dysfunction of facet joint injury
- unilateral with no referral below knee

Question 2

Lumbosacral Pain
“Mechanical Pain”
Symptoms

Answer 2

Unilateral with no referral pain
Morning stiffness, pain starts when moving, pain on flexio. And returning to erect position, pain worsen over course of day, pain relieved when lying down(fetal position.

Question 3

Lumbosacral Pain
“Radiating Pain”

Answer 3

Due to facet irritation, disc bulge or nerve compression by sorf tissue

Question 4

Lumbosacral Pain
Radiating pain
Syptoms

Answer 4

Pain at anterolateral leg, below knee, posterior foor are suggestive of dosc problem. Radiates below knee suggests disc lesion, back or buttock pain, lumbar or SI painrefer to buttocks and posterior leg, hip pain in the groin, anterior thighand medial knee

Question 5

Hypermobility

Answer 5

Increased joint mo ility above normal ranges

Question 6

Hypermobility
Cause @ Symptoms

Answer 6

Compensation of hypomobility elsewhere, hormones, pregnancy, joint trauma(sprain or tendinitis), pathologies as rheumatoid arthritis

Greater rom
Ligament lax

Question 7

Hypermobility
Treatment goals

Answer 7

Joint play at hypomobile joints
TRP release in m’s crossing the hypermobile joint( stripping, compressions, no stressing.)
Strengthen muscles crossing hypermobile joint(isometric to isotonic)

Question 8

Hypomobility

Answer 8

Loss of motion in a joint, loss of normal joint play movements. Joint mobilitybelow normal ranges.

Question 9

Hypomobility
Symptoms

Answer 9

Reduced ROM
Stiffness and pain, fibroused, articular adhesions, shortened fascia, scar tissue, contractures
Atrophy, entraped, compressed nerves,disc and blood vessels, myofascial pain and trp

Question 10

Treatment for hypomobility

Answer 10

Joint play
Fascial work, passive stretching, trigger point therapy, frictions and stretch and ice on adhesions, increased ROM, increase tissue elasticity

Hydro: heat

Hc: passive self stretches

Question 11

Scoliosis

Answer 11

Abnormal lateral curvature of thespine

Question 12

Functional Scoliosis

Answer 12

Soft tissue is the source of dysfunction(muscles fasciaor ligaments), posture can be altered.

Question 13

Structural scoliosis

Answer 13

Bones are altered due to pathology or malformation. inherited or acquired
Bony changes cannot be altered

Question 14

Treatment for scoliosis

Answer 14

Fascial techniques, jointplay, relaxation techniques

Question 15

Upper crossed sundrome

Answer 15

Tight: levator, uppertraps, pec major and minor

Weak: longus colli/deep neck flexors, weak lower traps and serratus anterior

Question 16

Lower crossed syndrome

Answer 16

Tight: QL,lower erectors, rectus femoris, iliopsoas

Weak glute max and abdominals

Question 17

Dextroscoliosis

Question 18

Levoscoliosis

Question 19

Span

Answer 19

Length the scoliosis travels

Question 20

Apex

Answer 20

The farthest scoliosis travels

Question 21

Piriformis syndome

Answer 21

Nerve compressions from hypertonic piriformis muscles.
