Wilde et al 2007
- What did 94% of the panel agree on
localized unilateral LBP
- How did Delitto et al 1995 diagnose lumbar segment instability?
if LBP is caused by minimal perturbations
- presence of lateral shift deformity
- short term relief from manipulation
- trauma
- use of oral contraceptives
- bracing improve symptoms
- Paris 1985 and Maitland 1986 diagnose LSI by?
presence of a step off between adjacent Spinous processes
hypermobility on PPVIM and PAIVM
- O’Sullivan in 2000 diagnose LSI by?
- giving way, slipping out or locking with presence of reverse lumbopelvic rythm
- presence of posterior shear stress using posterior force
- What 3 authors relate LSI to aberrant motions such as an instability catch?
Paris 1985 ; Nachemson 1985 and Ogon et al 1997
- What is an aberrant motion?
- a sudden acceleration or deceleration of movement
and movements occuring outside the plane of motion like SB or rotation with flexion occurs from a flexed position
- Have aberrant motions ever been related to symptoms or abnormal movements in imaging studies?
No concurrent validity to date
- What did Barnes et al 2009 contribute to LSI studies
a variation from normal spine coupling

Legaspi & Edmonds 2007
- Did Legaspi & Edmonds 2007 find a consistent coupling pattern between SB and Rot in Lx spine?
No.
- Is there evidence to support the use of coupled motion to evaluate or treat LBP?
No.
- Is coupling detectable by palpation?
No. The motion is only +/
- What 6 criteria did Paris 1985/2003 use as exam findings for LSI?
- Instability catch

- How did Magee 1997 diagnose LSI?
Prone instability test: pos test if painful c Lx compression PA at rest but no pain while actively lifting legs. NO VALIDITY.
- What did Friberg 1997 use?
Radiographs: Axial Compression c wt on shoulders, Axial Traction hanging from a bar.
- What did Friberg 1997 measure?
AP translation: accurate for detection of LSI.
- What did Hayes et al 1989 disprove in regards to radiographs?
- Who else supported the lack of clinical value in films?
- 42% of asymptomatic subjects have at least one segment exceeding the instability thresholds.
- Pitkanen et al 1997
- What 2 categories did Hicks et al 2005 and Cook et al 2006 categorize LSI?
- a. Radiographic instability (structural instability), major disruption of passive osseoligamentous constraints
b. Clinical Instability (segmental instability, neuromuscular system symptoms inconsistent with finding on radiographic analysis
- According to Senntag and Maraiano 1976 what is considered excessive motion?
- What is treatment for these patients?
- Greater than 4 degrees translation or 10 degrees rotation
- Fusion if conservative treatment have failed
- In regards to Algarni et al 2011 systematic review what test may be useful in ortho clinic to diagnose structural LSI?
- How is it performed?
- Sensitivity?
- Specificity?
- Positive likely hood ratio?
- Passive lumbar extension test
- Prone, PT lifts both LEs into extension to 30 cm while providing traction (+) test indicated by increased pain that disappears on return to starting position
- 84%
- 90%
- 8.8
- Any tests for segmental instability?
- No all tests have limited ability to diagnose
- According to Cook et al 2006 what were subjective indicators of LSI?
- What were objective indicators of LSI?
- a. “Giving way or giving out back” most related
b. self-manipulator, feels the need to crack their back
c. LBP epidsodes or symptoms - 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
- What did Cook and Hegedus 2011 research?
- Examined sensitivity, specificity, +LR/-LR of 14 stand alone physical tests
- In Cook and Hegedus 2011 what was the sensitivity cut off to rule out disorder?
- …to rule in disorder?
- -LR less than 0.20
455. +LR greater/equal to 5.0
- In Cook and Hegedus 2011 what were tests for Thoracic spine?
- Cervical diagnostic test?
- Cervical screening tests?
- Neither Screen nor diagnostic tests?
- No test with adequate +LR and -LR
- +LR only lateral glide test for C2-3 Facet Dysfunction
- -LR only
a. Prone unilateral/central PAs for facet dysfcn
b. spurlings test for radiculopathy - a. Upper Limb Tension Test (ULTT)
b. C5-6 Lateral Glide Tests
- In Cook and Hegedus 2011 what were tests for Lumbar diagnositcs?
- Lumbar screening tests?
- +LR
a. Centralization for diagnostic
b. PAIVM/PAVM diagnostic for radiologic instability
c. Percussion and Supine sign for compression fracture - -LR

b. SLR for nerve root
- What was Cook and Hegedus 2011 conclusions?
- Cluster of tests provide more promising findings
- Who tried to use CPR to predict stabilization exercise response?
Hicks et al 2005
- Although Hicks et al 2005 has some success, was the CPR valid?
- No there is not an accurately clinical way to diagnose LSI and Hicks et al 2005 used +prone instability test and + aberrant motions, these were no validated
- Who found fair to poor reliability of each individual aspect of Hicks et al 2005?
Stanton et al 2011

- No
- No
- What were the results of Rubinstein et al 2011, 2012, 2013 Cochrane Review for Acute and Chronic LBP?
- Acute- low to moderate quality evidence suggest no difference in effect of SMT (HVLAT or non-thrust) compared to other intervention
Chronic- high quality evidence that SMT has a small statistically significant but no clinically relevent short term effect on pain relief and functional status compared to other interventions
- What type of evidence did Bronfort et al 2004 find regarding Acute, Chronic LBP and SMT?
- Acute- moderate evidence that SMT HVLAT has better short term effect that mobilization or diathermy
Chronic- moderate evidence
