Two Don’ts for Good Body Mechanics

A

Don’ts for Good Body Mechanics:

  1. Bend with our back or lift with your legs straight
  2. Twist your back when carrying a load

Six Do’s for Good Body Mechanics

  1. keep your load close to your body (at arm’s lenght the load on your back is 10x the load in your hands)
  2. Bend at the knees and maintain a straight back
  3. Turn with your feet not your back
  4. Keep the weight close to your body
  5. Push, don’t pull objects
  6. When lifting, ensure that you keep one foot in front of the the other to maintain your balance

Q

What to tell patients about posture and back pain:

A

“I want my back to stay happy, and my back is happiest when I am in good posture, so I keep two pillows on the couch, in the car, and at work. Your back wants to be in neutral position. If you do the work to keep your back happy, your back will be happy.”

Relationship between cervical pain/ROM and thoracic manipulation

A

Research has indicated that thoracic manips can have a positive impact on cervical pain and ROM, so Dr. Worst often manipulates T-spine in patients with cervical pain, especially when cervical patients aren’t improving with treatment onlh in the neck.

Sign of the Buttock

A

Seven signs that suggest a series pathology (such as osteomyelitis, fx sacrum/pelvis, infection, sacroilities, gluteal hematoma, septic bursitis, ischiorectal absess, tumor, rheumatic bursitis) posterior to the axis of flexion/extension of the hip.

Seven Signs (the more present the more likely serious pathology exists):

  1. decreased SLR (if there is unilateral restriction, flex the knee and see if ROM increased. If it doesn’t then the sign is +)
  2. decreased hip flex
  3. decreased trunk flex
  4. non-capsular pattern hip restriction
  5. painful & weak hip extension
  6. gluteal swelling
  7. empty end-feel on hip flexion

Anterior wedge fractures occur to several vertebrae, usually in the upper and middle t-spine, causing a structural kyphosis that also contributes to a decrease in hight. Found in older women. More rounded than Gibbus deformity, which is more sharp and angulated.
  2. Gibbus deformity: hump back deformity with is a localized, sharp posterior angulation

  2. negative repeated motions testing

(basically they can go here if they have distal s/s and don’t fit into any other category)

33
Q

ADIM: what it stands for, what it is, how to ask pt to do it, common compensations

A

Abdminal Drawing In Manuver: Contration of TA & Multifidus together

Most common to teach in hooklying:

  • “take a deep breath in and as you exhale draw belly button in and up under ribs” - instruction for pt to help avoid them just sucking in tummy at the expense of breathing

Compensations:

  • Valsalva and pass out
  • Posteiror pelvic tilt (used to be enouraged, but now we believe it is better not to). It is more functional to perform ADIM & TA is better activated without psoterior pelvic tilt)
34

SI issues can be atraumantic or traumantic
