Q

Acute onset lower back pain with spine flexion. What do you consider?

If there is no patellar reflex (diminished) what nerve root and disk would be herniated?

A

Disc herniation

Q

Degrees of scoliosis and treatments for each?

A
Cobb angles
5-15 degrees --> mild 
    Tx: OMT + PT
20-45 degrees --> moderate
    Tx: above + bracing
>50 degrees --> severe
    Tx: assess respiratory compromise --> then surgery

Q

What is initial size of heel lifts to use in elderly and younger people?

A

Elderly –> start w/ 1.5mm and increase by 1/16 in every 2 weeks

19
Q

After FOOSH, person has restriction of supination of the arm. What is the dysfxn?

A

Posterior radial head

Pronation of arm = Posterior radial head

20
Q

Sympathetic innervation of adrenals and kidneys?

Anterior Chapman’s point for both?

Posterior Chapman’s point for both?

A

T10-11

Anterior
Adrenal: 1cm lateral and 2cm above umbilicus
Kidney: 1cm lateral and 1cm above umbilicus

Posterior
Adrenal:
Kidney: b/w SP and TP of T12 and L1

21
Q

Innominate rotation occurs around what sacral axis?

A

Inferior transverse axis

Innominate = Inferior axis

22
Q

How are sacral torsions named?

A

Rotation on axis

23
Q

Proper order for performing lymphatic techniques?

A

1) Thoracic inlet release
2) Diaphragmatic release
3) Extremity pump
4) Abdominal pump

Start central before working peripheral

24
Q

Findings of Common Compensatory Pattern?

A

OA –> rotated LEFT
Cervicothoracic –> rotated RIGHT
Thoracolumbar –> rotated LEFT
Lumbosacral –> rotated RIGHT

25
Q

How is somatic dysfxn named?

A

Position of ease (where it’s more symmetric)

26
Q

What are the 3 lumbosacral relationships?

A

1) When L5 is sidebent –> sacral oblique axis engaged on SAME side of side bending
2) L5 is rotated –> sacrum rotated in OPPOSITE direction on oblique axis
3) + seated flexion test is on same side of oblique axis

  • L5 Sidebent = sacrum Same for oblique axis
  • L5 rOtated = sacrum rotated in Opposite direction on the oblique axis
27
Q

Key ribs in inhalation dysfxn?

Exhalation dysfxn?

A

Inhalation dysfxn = stuck in inhalation = treat BOTTOM rib

Exlalation dysfxn = stuck in exhalation = treat TOP rib

28
Q

Difference b/w CPRS 1 and 2?

S/S?

A

CRPS 1: no nerve damage
Severe burning pain at site, hair and nail growth, muscle spams

CRPS 2: nerve damage
No hair growth, severe edema, muscle atrophy

29
Q

Acute vs chronic somatic dysfxn changes?

A

Acute: boggy, warmth, moist, tender, edematous

Chronic: ropy, cool, dry, mildly tender, no edema

30
Q

In pump-handle ribs (1-5) where is dysfxn seen?

In bucket-handle ribs (6-10) where is dysfxn seen?

A

1-5 –> anteriorly (pump-handle)

6-10 –> laterally

31
Q

Best types of treatment for fibromyalgia?

A

Indirect techniques –> counterstrain

32
Q

A

Less than 20mm (2cm)

33
Q

Dural sites of attachment outside the cranium?

A

Foramen magnum
C2
C3
Posterior, superior portion of S2

34
Q

What axis do sacral nutation and counternutation occur?

A

Superior transverse axis

35
Q

Kidney stones can irritate what muscle?

A

Psoas

36
