what is the straight leg raise used for
to evaluare for lumbar nerve root compression
Straight leg raise is also. known as?
lasegue test
what is the braggard test
a modification of the SLR that applies ankle dorsiflexion- conducted same as SLR but then dorsiflex ankle to reproduce symptoms
positive test is indicative of sciatica
FABER test
aka Patrick test that is used to evaluate for a labral tear, hip impingement.
hip is flexed, ABducted, ER
lumbosacral spring test
tests pathology of the sacrum
pat is prone and the heel of the physicians hand is placed over the lumbosacral junction. The physician will place a gentle rapid downward force with the hand and if not spring is noted than it is positive and the sacral base is posterior
ober test
evaluates for a tight tensor fascia late and ITB
pt. lies on the side that is not affected and the physician will stand behind them and flexes the knee 90 degrees, abducts the hip as far as possible and then slightly extends the hip then you allow the thigh to fall to the table
if the hip remained in the abducted position it is positive and there is a tight ITB
the trendelenburg test
evaluates weak gluten medius muscles
physician is behind patient and has them lift 1 leg off the floor
pelvis drops on the contralateral side there is weakness of the gluteus medius of the weight bearing leg
how do you augment flow
- remove thoracic inlet somatic dysfunction: open the thoracic inlet which is formed by Gibson’s fascia
- rib raising or paraspinal inhibition
- redone the diaphragm
- apply lymphatic pump techniques
thoracic inlet drains what
left arm, left side of the thorax, the abdomen and both legs
head and neck viscera somatic
