Q
  1. According to Cook et al 2006 what were subjective indicators of LSI?
  2. What were objective indicators of LSI?
A
  1. a. “Giving way or giving out back” most related
    b. self-manipulator, feels the need to crack their back
    c. LBP epidsodes or symptoms
  2. a. Poor lumbopelvic control, segmental hinging or pivoting with movement, poor proprioceptive function
    b. Poor coordination/neuromuscular control, juddering or shaking
    c. decreased strength and endurance of local muscles at level of instability

28
