47
Q

A

Iliac crest does not drop 20-25 degrees on the non-weight bearing side and there is a poor lumbar spinal curve towards the weight bearing side. A positive test indicates that the lumbar and/or thoracolumbar spine has difficulty side-bending toward the weight bearing side of the body (ie, the side opposite the positive test)

48
Q

Thomas Test

A
  • Test for psoas muscle tension/hypertonicity (hip flexion contracture)
  • Test for psoas muscle tension/hypertonicity (hip flexion contracture)

A

When side-bending is attempted from non-neutral (hyperflexed or hyperextended) position, rotation must precede side-bending to the same side.

66
Q

L1 E SLRL Muscle Energy

  • Patient placed in the “Osteopathic Salute” where their left hand grasps their neck posteriorly and their right hand grasps their left elbow
  • Physician’s right hand passes above the patient’s right arm and grasps the patient’s left upper arm
  • Physician’s left hand monitors the L1 transverse processes
  • L1 is side-bent right and rotated right by the physician lowering the physician’s right arm and pulling the patient’s left arm anteriorly. L1 is flexed.
67
Q

Tender Point

A
  • Specific discrete areas of local tenderness

- No radiation of pain

68
Q

Absolute contraindications

A

A. Manifestation of abnormal neurological and/or vascular symptoms brought on by the treatment position.
B. Exacerbation of potentially life-threatening symptomatology by treatment position )EKG changes, drop in oxygen saturation in a monitored patient.

69
Q

relative contraindications

A

A. Patient who cannot voluntarily relax, or severely ill patient.
B. Upper cervical hyperrotation and hyperextension in patients with known vertebral artery disease and/or upper cervical ligamentous instability, dens malformation, or severe osteoporosis.
C. Inability to tolerate the classic treatment position, meaning that the treatment position must be modified.
D. Inability to effectively communicate.
E. Patient with severe acute rheumatological flare.
F. Signs of apprehension while approaching the treatment position.

70
Q

Counterstrain

A

Assess the “this is a 10” pain level
Maintain finger contact at all times (NOT PRESSING FIRM constantly, only monitoring!)
this is to monitor tension, not to treat
Find the position of comfort
Retest by pressing with contact finger
This is a passive treatment
Hold it for 90 seconds (that’s the time for ALL counterstrain points, including ribs)
