OS II Midterm Flashcards
Diagnosis - Seated Forward Bending Test (SeFBT)
What do you do, what’s a positive test, what’s your diagnosis
Pt. Seated facing away from SD
Place thumbs under pts PSIS and have patient bend forward
Positive test: SD thumbs (and PSIS) are higher on one side vs. the other
Diagnosis:
Opposite side is the side of torsional axis
Diagnosis - Backward Bending Test (Sphinx)
What do you do, what’s a positive test, what’s a negative test, what’s your diagnosis
Pt laying prone with SD thumbs in sacral sulci
Before any movement look for asymmetry. If no asymmetry don’t do test.
Pt comes up on elbow in sphinx position, watch to see if pt asymmetry corrects with movement
Positive test: there is asymmetry and the backward bending does not resolve the asymmetry pt has an extended sacrum
Negative test: There is asymmetry and the backward bending resolves the asymmetry, pt has a flexed sacrum
Diagnosis - Sacral Mobility During Respiration Test
Place hands on pt sacrum, preferably with cephalid facing hand down first to make sure your finger doesn’t go in their bung-hole. Other hand lays on top facing caudally
Positive test: extended sacrum (sacrum doesn’t move into exhalation)
Diagnosis: Inhalation SD
Diagnosis - Lumbosacral Spring Test
What do you do, what’s a positive test, what’s your diagnosis
Pt lays prone, SD pushes downward to assess spring of sacrum.
Positive test: sacrum is stiff and does not give to springing force
Diagnosis: sacrum is extended
Diagnosis - 4-point Sacral PROM Evaluation
What do you do, what’s a positive test, what’s your diagnosis
Pt prone, SD places thumbs on sacral sulcus and ILA of the same side (unilateral).
Sacral sulcus thumb pushes inferiolaterally toward the greater trochanter
ILA thumb pushes superiolaterally toward the ASIS
Positive Test: look at chart
Diagnosis: 6 possible diagnosis, look at chart
Diagnosis - Sacral Rock (oblique Axis) passive Evaluation
What do you do, what’s a positive test, what’s your diagnosis
Pt prone, SD thumb at a sacral sulcus (monitoring)
Other hand’s thenar/hypothenar eminence on the contralateral ILA
Anterior pressure applied on contralateral ILA
Positive Test: restriction of motion about one oblique axis (the monitored suclus doesn’t move posteriorly)
Diagnosis: ???
What is true about oblique axes?
On one side of the oblique axes you will have a deep sacral sulcus and on the other side you will have a posterior/Inferior ILA
What is true about a vertical axis?
There will be a deep sacral sulcus and posterior/inferior ILA on the same side
How would you label a left rotation on a right oblique axis sacral torsion?
L/R ST
What is the typical example of a sacrum the is bilaterally flexred?
Pregnancy, delivery that took an extended period time.
L5 sidebends toward the side of the…?
Oblique axis (of torsion)
Diagnosis - Trendelenburg Test
What do you do, what’s a positive test, what’s your diagnosis
Pt standing, SD behind kneeling so that pt hips are at eye level. Pt lifts right leg and SD watches hips
Positive test: the unsupported hip (right) drops lower than the supported hip (left)
Diagnosis: Positive Left Hip Drop Test
Diagnosis - Thomas Test
What do you do, what’s a positive test, what’s your diagnosis
Pt supine, pt brings both knees to chest, pt lowers one leg back to the table
Positive test: inability to fully extend at the hip and lower the leg back to the table
Diagnosis: right or left Psoas tightness/contracture
*Diagnosis - Ober Test
What do you do, what’s a positive test, what’s your diagnosis
Pt lies lateral recumbent
SD lifts leg up passively, brings the leg backwards so it’s hovering just posterior to the lower leg and then release
Positive test: leg ratchets down or isn’t able to lower all the way down
Diagnosis: iliac crest outflare
Diagnosis - Standing Flexion Test
What do you do, what’s a positive test, what’s your diagnosis
Pt standing facing away from SD, SD at PSIS eye-level, thumbs on PSIS, Pt bends forward
Positive test: one PSIS moves more superiorly
Diagnosis: Right/left SI joint dysfunction (the side of the more superior PSIS is the side of dysfunction)
Diagnosis - ASIS Compression Test
What do you do, what’s a positive test, what’s your diagnosis
Pt supine, reset hips, SD places thenar eminences on pt ASIS, SD pushes down into the table alternating from one ASIS to the other
Positive test: unequal resistance from ASIS, one ASIS has a more hard end feel
Diagnosis: Left/right SI joint Dysfunction (the side of the more hard end feel is the side of dysfunction)
*Diagnosis - TAT palpatrol screen of Posterior Paraspinal ribs (standing or seated)
What do you do, what’s a positive test, what’s your diagnosis
Pt sitting facing away from SD. Midline for thoracic, more lateral for transverse processes, even more laterally for rib angles. Feel up and down and state what you’re feeling.
Positive Test: tenderness (voiced by pt), asymmetry/protrusions
Diagnosis: Right/left, Rib #, ????
Diagnosis - TAT Palpatory Screen of the lateral pump handle ribs and anterior bucket handle ribs
What do you do, what’s a positive test, what’s your diagnosis
Pt supine, SD checks for gross springing and breathing of ribs on right and left laterally, SD palpates individual ribs medially asking the patient to breath feeling for asymmetry
Positive Test: resistance or asymmetrical springing on one side or the other or asymmetry with breathing
Diagnosis: left/right, rib #, inhalation/exhalation somatic dysfunction
Treatment - Rib 1 Exhalation SD Met/Art
What do you do, what’s the key rib to treat
Pt supine, SD on opposite of dysfunction
SD adducts arm across body to move scapula out of the way and then places caudal hand under rib 1
Pt dysfunction side arm placed on forehead with palm facing up
SD resists pt motion as they try to lift off their head
Increase caudad lateral traction
Repeat MET 3 - 5
*Treatment - Rib 2-6 Exhalation SD Met/Art
What do you do, what’s the key rib to treat
Pt supine w/ arm completely back and above head on dysfunctional side of rib
SD on opposite side
Caudad hand slips under back (arm across chest to load) w/ hand on superior part of top dysfunctional rib
Cephalad hand rests on pts elbow
Caudad applies anterior and lateral traction while pt pushes against SD cephalad hand as SD resists
