OPP Exam #2 Flashcards
ACUTE dysfunction
- Recent history (injury)
- Sharp or severe localized pain
- Warm, moist, sweaty skin
- Boggy, edematous tissue
- Erythematous
- Local increase in muscle tone, contraction, spasm, increased muscle spindle firing
- Normal or sluggish ROM
- May be minimal or no somatovisceral effects
Chronic dysfunction
- Long-standing
- Dull, achy diffuse pain
- Cool, smooth, dry skin
- Possible atrophy
- Fibrotic, ropy feeling tissue
- Pale/skin pallor
- Decreased muscle tone, contracted muscles, sometimes flaccid
- Restricted ROM
- Somatovisceral effects more often present
What lead to tissue texture changes such as hypertonicity, moisture, erythema, etc?
-post ganglionic sympathetic fibers
viscerosomatic reflex. what synapses where?
Dorsal horn of the spinal cord is where somatic and visceral afferent nerves synapse
Myocardium, Thyroid, Esophagus, Bronchus

Lumbarization
S1 dissociates with sacral region
Sacralization
L5 becomes part of the sacrum
Sitting with poor posture puts load where?
- L3 70kg
- greatest load possible
Most common disc herniation
Posterolateral Lumbar Disk Herniation Most Common
what nerve will be pinched with herniation
x + 1 rule
most common segments for herniation
L4-L5
L5-S1
L4-L5 herniation causes
-extensor hallicus longus
-sensory = lateral side of
-leg and dorsum of foot
“Walk on your heels”
L5-S1 herniation causes
-motor = muscles responsible for eversion
-achilles tendon reflex
-sensory = lateral malleolus and lateral aspect of foot
-“Walk on your toes”
cant planter flex
L4 herniation
- motor = muscles responsible for foot inversion
- DTR = patellar reflex
- sensory = medial aspect of leg and foot
Positive Babinski Reflex indicates
- Indicates Upper Motor Neuron Problems
- Toes will sprawl instead of curl
Straight Leg Raise Test 0-35
Some Tension on the Sciatic Nerve
Straight Leg Raise Test 35-70
Maximally Involves Sciatic Nerve
Straight Leg Raise Test > 70
Most Likely Joint Pain
Straight Leg Raise Test
Patient in the supine position
The hip is medially rotated and adducted and with the knee extended, the examiner flexes the hip until the patient complains of pain in the back of the symptomatic leg
