Test 1: Treatments Flashcards
In treatment for Rotation
if pull right pelvis for rotation the bottom vertebrae is going _____ so the opening occurs on the ____
if pull right pelvis for rotation the bottom vertebrae is going right so the opening occurs on the opposite side.
PPIVM to Improve SB
If the problem is at L3/L4: WHAT DO YOU STABILIZE?
L3
PPIVM to Improve SB: Prone:
L3/L4
- Stabilize
- Mobilize
STABILIZE
- -SP of L3 with Thumb
- -Stabilize on the same side of the SP
- –Get onto the spinous process, roll off to the soft tissue, stand on that same side of that SP
MOBILIZE:
- -Abduct Leg
- -As leg is abducted, pelvis is abducted
- –Create a fulcrum by stabilizing one SP and moving the SP below
PPIVM to Improve SB: Side-Lying: lumbar SB:
pt position
stabilize
mobilize
PATIENT POSITION: side-lying, legs in 90-90
STABILIZE: SP above (L3)
MOBILIZE: Rotate Lower Extremities to the ceiling
- ->Stand on the side to which you are side bending
- ->Lift legs up to the ceiling: to tilt the pelvis and create opening
(Sustained stretch is easier since legs are heavy)
Treat PPIVM: how much motion?PPIVM to Improve SB: Side-Lying: lumbar SB:
The openings that occur below segment of interest we don’t worry about,
the sustained stretch or the grade 3-4 oscillation is only at the end range of that particular motion segment,
so you wont see a lot of flopping of the leg because only need to do it in that small interspace,
the thumb stays static and the movement comes from below
PPIVM to Improve SB: Side-lying: using Pelvis:
STABILIZE
MOBILIZE
Stabilize: SP above (L3)
Mobilize: Rock pelvis cranially/caudally
PPIVM to Improve SB: Sitting:
1) Stabilize
2) Mobilize
perhaps for lower thoracic segments
1) Use thumb as fulcrum against SP
2) Sidebend Trunk
How to treat: facet joints are stuck ?
Facet joints are stuck: issue in closing on one side or in opening on the opposite side
How to treat: ?
Pain when side bending left and in extension, but side bending right and flexion didn’t cause pain
CLOSING ISSUE Pain when side bending left and in extension,
but side bending right and flexion didn’t cause pain
How to treat?
Pain on the right side when side bending left, and pain on right when flex forward
OPENING ISSUE
Pain on the right side when side bending left, and pain on right when flex forward
How to treat?
Extension dysfunction where cannot extend
Extension dysfunction where cannot extend, close, treat them to get more extension, try to make their facets slide down on each other, the focus is on the sliding down or the closing
PPIVM to Improve Rotation:
What will this help with?
This will help with opening
PPIVM to Improve Rotation
PATIENT POSITION
STABILIZE
MOBILIZE
where does opening occur?
- Patient prone, knees flexed to 90 degrees
- Stabilize: Spinous Process
- Mobilize: Roll Legs (or can lift from the pelvis)
- Sustain stretch or oscillations
- Opening occurs on the side to which you rotate the leg to: so if legs are rotated towards me on the left side, opening will be occurring on the left
PPIVM to Improve Rotation: explain the mechanics: in prone moving legs
I am on the left:
Roll Legs (or can lift from the pelvis) to me
Pelvis rotates to you
Sacrum rotates right and bumps into L5 and facets lock up
L5 into L4 and facets lock up
There is an opening on my side - feel for it
I stabilize the SP and sustain a stretch or a tiny oscillation
Sustain stretch or oscillations
Opening occurs on the side to which you rotate the leg to: so if legs are rotated towards me on the left side, opening will be occurring on the left
PPIVM to Improve Rotation:
Sitting
- stabilize
- mobilize
Stabilize: SP
Mobilize: Rotate Trunk
Positions:
PPIVM to Improve SB (4)
- Prone: Abduct Leg
- Side-lying: Lift legs up to the ceiling
- Sidelying using pelvis: Rock pelvis cranially/caudally
- sitting: Sidebend Trunk
