Review Year 1

Question 1

Steps of FPR

Answer 1

1. Flatten curve
2. Place in INDIRECT position of ease
3. Add compression force for 5 seconds
4. Release force
5. Return to neutral

Question 2

Steps for Still’s

Answer 2

1. Place in indirect position of ease
2. Add compression or traction
3. Move THROUGH restrictive barrier to physiologic barrier
4. Remove and release force

Question 3

Steps of counterstrain

Answer 3

1. Find significant tenderpoint
2. Establish pain scale
3. Place patient in position of ease
4. Hold for 90 SECONDS
5. Slowly return to normal
6. Recheck – pain scale should be 70% reduction

Question 4

OA position of treatment

Answer 4

Flex or extend

Sidebending is opposite of rotation

Question 5

Cervical region treatment
AA
C2 - 7

Answer 5

AA = rotation only

C2 - C7 –> flex/extend; Sidebending and Rotation = SAME direction

Question 6

Innominate diagnosis: Inferior ASIS and medial malleolus, superior PSIS

Answer 6

Anterior rotation

Question 7

Innominate diagnosis: Superior ASIS and medial malleolus, inferior PSIS

Answer 7

Posterior rotation

Question 8

Innominate diagnosis: ASIS more lateral

Answer 8

Outflare

Question 9

Innominate diagnosis: ASIS more medial

Answer 9

Inflare

Question 10

For sacral diagnosis, a seated forward bending test tells you what?

Answer 10

1. It’s opposite of the axis (so a pos. SFBT on right means axis points to the left (R –> L)
2. Same side of a unilateral problem

Question 11

What does a lumbar spring test for sacrum tell you?

Answer 11

If it’s a flexed or extended sacral dysfunction
+ = extended dysfunction or backward sacral torsion
- = flexion dxfn, or forward sacral torsion

Question 12

L5 compensation for sacrum

Answer 12

Where ever the deep sacral sulcus is, L5 is “deep” on opposite or rotated towards the same side

ex. SS deep on right
L5 is rotate right so hard end feel on right side = compensated

Question 13

Mnemonic for ribs treatment

Answer 13

BITE:
treat bottom rib for inhalation dxfn
treat top rib for exhalation dxfn
