Problem Solving Approach

A

7 step process

  1. Understand patient’s participation restrictions and activity limitations
  2. Establish movement dysfunctions (global) - determine overuse/non-acute
  3. Establish impairments, tissues and joints involved, (local) identify diffs
  4. Establish stage of healing, irritability of tissues, problem lists
  5. Establish goals and plan -> pick tools in toolbox
  6. Establish baseline measures
  7. Treat and Reassess

104
Q

Components of the Lumbopelvic-Hip Complex

A

Pelvis, Sacrum, Lumbar Vertebrae, Hip Joints

105
Q

Nutation

A

Anterior movement of the sacrum base (forward and downward). Happens with posterior pelvic tilt (sacrum takes a drink). Iliac crests move closer together. Isch Tubes move father apart.

106
Q

Counternutation

A

Posterior movement of the sacrum base (backward and upward). Happens with anterior pelvic tilt (sacrum leans back to take a nap). Iliac crests move farther apart. Isch tubes move closer together.

107
Q

During Lumbar flexion

A

Sacrum counternutates. Isch Tubes move closer together. Iliac Crests move apart.

108
Q

During Lumbar extension

A

Sacrum nutates. Isch tubes move apart. Iliac crests move closer together.

109
Q

Neutral to forward flexion:

A

During the first degrees of the flexion, the lumbar spine flexes until lumbar lordosis is neutral then the pelvis starts to rotate anteriorly.

Total Motion:
Lumbar Spine = 45 degrees
Pelvis = 60 degrees

110
Q

Forward flexion to neutral:

A

When returning to extension, the pelvis will rotate posteriorly first, then the lumbar extends to normal lordotic curve

111
Q

Pelvis rotates on a diagonal axis:

A

If one hip moves into flexion while the other maintains an extended position, the sacral base on the flexed-hip side rotates posteriorly (counternutation) while the extended-leg sacral base rotates anteriorly (nutation)

112
Q

Stabilization for Sacroiliac Joint Motion

A

Important in relieving pain and in transmitting forces

113
Q

Dysfunction for Sacroiliac Joint Motion

A

A lack of stabilization, cause of back and pelvic pain

Q

Lumbar stenosis

A

Symptomatic narrowing of the spinal canal or intervertebral foramen in the lumbosacral region

Produces either unilateral (nerve root) or bilateral (spinal cord) symptoms

138
Q

4 types of disc lesions

A

1: Normal
2: Disk bulge
3: Foraminal disk herniation
4: Extruded disk fragment

139
Q

Non-mechanical spine disorders

A

Neoplasia -> Metastases, Lymphoid tumors, spinal cord tumors

Infection -> infective spondylitis, epidural abscess, endocarditis, herpes zoster, Lyme disease

Other spondyarthritides
-> ankylosing spondylitis

Less than 1% of all cases

140
Q

Treatments for Acute LBP

A

Manipulation/Manual Therapy
Stabilization exercises
Motion and Activity (NOT REST)
Medication (Pain = )

141
Q

Clinical Prediction Rule

A

Pts with 4/5 criteria increased the probability of success from 45% to 95%

Criteria : Duration of more than 16 days of LBP, No symptoms distal to knee, Higher than 19 on FABQ, Greater or equal to 1 hypomobile segment in the lumbar spine, greater or equal to 1 hip with greater than 35 degrees of IR

142
Q

Stabilization Exercises

A

Core stability: Facilitation of deep muscles of the spine. There are usually neuromuscular deficits in these muscles from LBP. Morphologic changes can be present. Stabilization programs usually focus on low-loads and high reps.

143
Q

Specific Concerns of LBP

A

Centralize pt pain
Improve posture, body mechanics, and general fitness
Teach pt to move into and maintain pelvic neutral position
Restore muscle balance, flexibility, endurance, and strength of the trunk, pelvis, and hip muscles
Relieve pain and muscle spasm

Q

3 parts of Local Mobility

Q

3 parts of Global Stability

A

Activation
Acquisition
Assimilation
