OMM 2 Flashcards
red flags of LBP
age, major trauma, malig, unexplained wt loss/loss of appetite, cauda equina (incontinence, saddle anesthesia, neuro sxs), constitutional sxs (fever, chills, infxn, immunosuppression, IVDU)
components of body system exam
observe, ROM, palpate, segmental dx of somatic dysfxn, special tests
how to observe for body system exam?
inspect skel and extremities (gross deformity, postural alignment, muscle imbal, gait), inspect muscles (size, symmetry, tone, temp)
how to chk ROM in body system exam?
single plane motions –> mult plane motions –> AROM w/ observation only –> AROM w/ stabilizing pelvis
how to do palpation in body system exam?
tissue texture changes (acute vs chronic), tender/swelling, fluctuation/effusion, crepitus, resistance to pressure
how to chk PNS vs CNS vs gait neuro exam?
motor = muscle strength, sensory = light touch eval in each dermatome, peripheral nerve distribution, DTR vs r/o upper motor neuron lesions, CNS balance vs yep
Spinal nerve roots w/ muscle: L2-4 vs L4-L5/S1 vs L4-L5/S1-2 vs S1. L4-S3?
psoas, medial muscles (hip adductors, pectineus, gracilis, obturator ex), quads, TA vs glut min & med vs hamstrings (biceps fem, semis) vs glut max, gas/sol. sup/inf gemellus, quadratus femoris
Motor strength = 0 to 5 criteria
o 0 = no movement at all
o 1 = flicker of movement, unable to move joint
o 2 = can move parallel but not against gravity
o 3 = can move against but not resistance
o 4 = weak resistance
o 5 = nml
how to find tone vs bulk
have pt relax and move limb –> inc/dec, nml, rigid, spastic vs atrophy, hypertrophy
muscles to look for hip extension firing pattern. hip extensors vs hip flexors
hamstring, gluteus, contra/ipsilateral quadratus lumborum. hamstrings, glut max, adductor magnus vs iliopsoas, rectus femoris
why use special tests vs pain provocation tests vs fxnal tests
uncover specific pathology or dysfxn to further delineate the problem vs for pain patterning and anatomical structures, finding local or radiating pain vs to find nml structural fxn during dynamic motion
what’s the hip drop test? how to do it?
screens ability for lumbar to sidebend away from side of hip drop –> hip that drops the least = pos side. dr on iliac crest, pt bends one knee w/o lifting heel off floor –> bends other knee –> dr finds which hip drops more
FABER/Patrick’s/Figure 4 test vs FADIR
flex, abduct, externally rotate leg –> pain before SI joint –> acetabulum/femoral joint; pain after SI joint –> SI joint pain vs flex, adduct, internally rotate –> pain –> femoroacetabular impingement
how to do standing eval?
observe gait; posture (kyphosis, lordosis, scoliosis, sidebent, fl/exed); asymm/spasm/wasting of extremities and back; trunk A/PROM, standing flexion test
how to do seated eval?
muscle strength of LE, sensory exam of LE and back; straight leg test, DTR; vasculature/chk arteries; trunk A/PROM; seated flexion test
how to do supine eval?
hip: ROM, leg lengths; pel: ASIS, umblicus, pubic ramus, iliopsoas, tenderpoints and hypertonicity
how to do prone eval?
lumbar TART changes; pel/sacrum: PSIS, sacral base, ILAs; hypertonicity of quadratus lumborum
sequencing tx approach methods
bottom to top, top to bottom, start w/ foundation, area of greatest restriction or tissue texture change, start nonpainful to painful tx
sequencing tx if present:
true dislocations (upslip/downslip, pubic shears, ribs) –> long restrictors (psoas, QL, iliacus, lat, trap) –> T-L jxn & lumbar spine –> sacrum & innominates
what is USPSTF?
indep, volunteer panel of nat’l experts in prevention and evidence-based medicine; includes IM, FM, peds, OB/GYN, behavioral health, nursing, preventive medicine; does recs for screenings, counseling, preventive meds
goal of USPSTF?
provide evidence-based recs about using clinical preventive services in asx ppl; determine rec grades but don’t consider the costs, only apply to asx ppl, addressed only in primary care setting
What does USPSTF consider to make recs?
assess benefits > risks, determine age and risk factors
A vs B vs C vs D vs I
USPSTF recommends service –> offer vs recommends service, mod to high certainty there is net benefit –> offer vs mod certainty there is small benefit –> selectively offer service depending on situation vs mod to high certainty no net benefit –> recommends against service vs evidence = insufficient –> if service = offered, pt needs to be aware of uncertainty, benefits, and risks
stats on women vs men for osteoporosis. osteoporotic fx can lead to? (4)
1 in 2 PMP women vs 1 in 5 older men. chronic pain/disability, loss of indep, dec QOL, inc mortality
who to screen per USPSTF for osteoporosis? how to screen for osteoporosis?
older adults in US pop who don’t have h/o osteoporotic fx, osteoporosis 2ndary to other condition, no specific indications for bone measurement testing; they didn’t define upper age limit for screening in women. DEXA –> T and Z score
uncontrollable vs controllable risk factors per National Osteoporosis Foundation
> 50yo, female, menopause, fhx, thin frame, fx, height loss, race (Cauc/Asians) vs not enough calc & vit D/fruits/veggies, too much protein/alc/sodium/caffeine, inactive, losing weight, smoking; steroids, anticoag/epileptic, proton pump inhibitors, lithium, long term bisphosphonates
what’s the leading cause of injury in adults >65yo?
falls
which tests to measure fall risk? (4)
gait and balance performance testing, fxnal reach test, timed get up and go test, presence of environmental hazards
types of fall prevention
PT, OT; no benefit from vit D –> D rec; comprehensive multifactorial assessment (provides risk factors and social care to address those factors) but timing consuming –> not appropriate for all pts –> small benefit –> C rec
what’s the most sig risk factor for progression of scoliosis?
skel maturity
USPSTF screening tests for scoliosis: Adam’s test vs scoliometer vs Moire topography vs radiography
visual inspection of spine for asymm of shoulders and scapulae during active trunk flex vs measure the curve vs using a grid, screen, light source and camera to assess symmetry vs used to confirm idiopathic scoliosis
USPSTF recommendation grade for scoliosis screen? why? what happens if children have mild to mod curvature?
I. no direct evidence of effective screen for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis –> don’t screen asx children. brace dec curve progression
evidence of calc and vit D on bone health
adeq evidence daily low dose 400mg vit D and 1000mg Ca2+ –> no effect on incidence of fx in PMP women; inadeq evidence of higher doses of calc and vit D in men and PMP women
what’s the goal dose of vit D? 2 types of vit D: D2 vs D3
> 35ng/mL. ergocalciferol from irradiation of yeast and plant sterol ergosterol vs cholecalciferol from oily fish and skin synthesis from sun
low vs high serum vit D = linked to?
inc fx risk, fxnal limitations, CVD, ca, depression and dec cognitive fxn vs hypercal, kidney stones
evidence of motor vehicle restraints
good evidence of community and public health interventions in improving use of car seats, booster seats, seatbelts
what is the 2nd leading cause of death from injury of all ages?
MVA (kill more children and young adults)
what to look for joint sxs characteristics?
uni/bil, stiffness/locking, ROM, change in size or contour, constant pain or pain w/ motion
what to look for muscle sxs characteristics?
ROM, weak, fatigue, wasting; tremor/tic/spasm/clumsy, paralysis
what to look for skel sxs characteristics?
difficulty gait/limp, pressure sensation, pain w/ movement, crepitus, skel deformity or change in contour
what to look for neuro sxs characteristics?
uni/bil, numb/tingling/weakness, visual disturbances, progressive neuro deficits
elements of pmhx
acute/chronic illness, injuries/accidents, congenital dz, screening tests (mammo, prostate DRE, pap, colonscopy), birth hx for infants and children
