Q

PPIVM to Improve SB: Prone:

L3/L4

  1. Stabilize
  2. Mobilize
A

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

Q

PPIVM to Improve SB: Side-Lying: lumbar SB:

pt position
stabilize
mobilize

A

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)

Q

Treat PPIVM: how much motion?PPIVM to Improve SB: Side-Lying: lumbar SB:

A

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

Q

PPIVM to Improve Rotation: explain the mechanics: in prone moving legs

I am on the left:

A

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

(2)

A
  1. Prone: roll legs

2. Sitting : rotate trunk

18
Q

PAIVM

why we use it in treatment?

A

these are movements the patient cannot do on their own: passive accessory intervertebral movements

  1. use grades to achieve goal of pain relief
  2. increasing motion at the motion segment

PAIN RELEIF: grades 1-2 oscillation

INCREASE MOTION: grades 3-4 oscillation, sustained stretch
(I am staying at the barrier, it is not graded)


19
Q

PAIVM to Improve Rotation:

3 options

A
  1. Rotation aginst SP
  2. Rotation using Unilateral TP
  3. Rotation using bilateral TP of adjacent vertebrae with dummy hand technique
20
Q

PAIVM to Improve Rotation:

Rotation against SP

  1. what to do
  2. what to asses
  3. how to implement the grades
A
  1. Isolate the SP, get on the top of it, roll the soft tissue out of the way,

get forearms level with the bed,

push away from me to get rotation towards me

  1. Assess the play
  2. Now implement grades: go to the barrier and come back halfway for a 3, go to the barrier and stay for a 4

21
Q

PAIVM to Improve Rotation:

Rotate Using Transverse Processes: UNILATERAL

What to do

How to incorporate breathing

A

Single TP:
find the TP towards the upper part of the SP, put the heel of hand (can reinforce) there so you can do a gentle downward pressure

Feel what play is available
Break that down to the grades 1, 2, 3, or 4

Breathing: have patient take deep inhale, as patient exhales go into the barrier, deeper into the barrier, deeper into the barrier, deeper into the barrier, hold at end of barrier, as the person inhales ride it back up : push the physiological barrier to the anatomical barrier: then repeat

22
Q

PAIVM to Improve Rotation:

what to do

incorporate breathing

progressive oscillations

A

opposite TPs of adjacent vertebrae

use ulnar border of my hand over my two fingers 


Timed with breathing: push down on the exhale (when doing a P/A, it needs to be in that plane)
since direction of force is P/A we can time the oscillations with breathing

Progressive Oscillation: go into the barrier, deeper into the barrier, deeper into the barrier, deeper into the barrier, hold at end of barrier, as the person inhales ride it back up : push the physiological barrier to the anatomical barrier

23
Q

Which PAIVM to improve rotation do we not time with breathing?

A

Rotation against SP because it is in the transverse plane

24
Q

PAIVM :

how to implement grade 3
how to implement grade 4

A

GRADE 3: go to the barrier and come back halfway for a 3

GRADE 4: go to the barrier and stay for a 4


25
Q

PAIVM to Improve Rotation:

if i push SP away from me, to which way is the vertebrae moving?

A

push away from me to get rotation towards me

26
Q

How to time mobilization with breathing

A

push down on the exhale (when doing a P/A, it needs to be in that plane)
since direction of force is P/A we can time the oscillations with breathing

have patient take deep inhale, as patient exhales go into the barrier, deeper into the barrier, deeper into the barrier, deeper into the barrier, hold at end of barrier, as the person inhales ride it back up : push the physiological barrier to the anatomical barrier: then repeat

27
Q

How to do mobilization with progressive oscillations

A

Progressive Oscillation:

go into the barrier, deeper into the barrier, deeper into the barrier, deeper into the barrier, hold at end of barrier, as the person inhales ride it back up : push the physiological barrier to the anatomical barrier

28
Q

What part of breathe cycle push down in mobilization when time with breathing?

A

push in at the exhale, release at the inhale

29
Q

3 ways to open the Left facet jt?

A
  1. on SP: (contact is on SP, reinforce with my thumb, forearms level to the bed, push away from me)
    rotate the UPPER vertebrae so that its inferior facet comes away from the superior facet of the vertebrae below:
    get into the soft tissue and be on the side of the vertebrae, forearm level with the bed, reinforce, push across the table, get an opening this creates rotation towards me and creates the opening
  2. Be on opposite TP: do a simple P/A: heel of my hand and create the rotation
  3. Dummy hand technique: go across stay on upper vertebrae on the right and finger on lower vertebrae on the left and create opening between the two on the left: dummy hand and come over it, press down, and create rotation to make the opening
30
Q

When we talk about opening, which facet are we talking about? Top? Bottom?

A

Rotation, inferior facet of the vertebrae above is coming away from the superior facet of the vertebrae below (so we are talking about the inferior facet of the vertebrae that is moving, the top one, the reference one)

31
Q

PAIVM using P/A:

A
  1. Standard P/A
  2. P/A with bilateral Transverse Process
  3. P/A spinous process using a flexion angulation
  4. P/A spinous process using an extension angulation
32
Q

PAIVM using P/A

Standard P/A

  1. PURPOSE
  2. How to do it (glide between L5 and S1)
A
  1. General joint mobility (Flexion and Extension)

introduces some play, not directional

  1. Edge of hand on SP of L5 and press downwards to get glide between L5 and S1, not specific to a direction

33
Q

PAIVM using P/A

P/A with Bilateral Transverse Processes

  1. PURPOSE
  2. How to do it
A
  1. For Flexion

Adds Flexion: Bows the vertebrae forward: OPEN

Since TP sits on upper half, P/A will bow the vertebrae forward when we use bilateral TP we are adding flexion

  1. Dummy hand on TP
    This will open the interspace
34
Q

PAIVM using P/A

P/A Spinous Process using a Flexion Angulation

  1. PURPOSE
  2. HOW on L5
A
  1. For Flexion

Go from underneath it and bow it forward: OPEN

  1. Divot space between thenar and hypothenar eminenceon SP of L5 from bottom

P/A with forearm is at an angle
It will bow forward


35
Q

PAIVM using P/A

P/A Spinous Process using an Extension Angulation

  1. PURPOSE
  2. HOW on L5
A
  1. For Extension

Come from the top of the SP and bring it into extension: CLOSE

Since forearm is at an angle, you will get this by just pushing down

  1. Divot space between thenar and hypothenar eminenceon SP of L5 from top

P/A with forearm at an angle to get the extension moment

36
Q

Positional Traction:

A

PATIENT IS HAVING TROUBLE OPENING

Set the Patient in Side-Lying: put into position that sustains opening for a period of time:

sidebend away

rotation towards

and flexion

[do this prolonged stretch for 2-4 minutes]
Lateral Flex to Symptom Relief
Flex to the Desired Motion Segment
Rotate toward involved side

37
Q

What position for positional traction?

A

sidebend away, rotation towards, and flexion

Lateral Flex to Symptom Relief

Flex to the Desired Motion Segment

Rotate toward involved side

38
Q

Sidelying demo of positional traction

A

Isolate the segment of interest, get a pillow under thorax/lumbar spine or blanket roll to open the top side

Take bottom leg and flex it up until get opening at that segment

Then switch my hands and come from underneath an grab hold of back of back of scapula and draw it forward to rotate him until rotate at my level of interest

upper spine is flexed : hand under scapula and draw it anterior

Pull from underneath and brought scapula forward to maintain the flexion

He stays there: i can do soft tissue work, stimulation, heat, ice, breathing, relaxation: sustain the stretch at that capsule of that facet pair to give us opening

39
Q

Segmental Distraction

PURPOSE

HOW TO DO IT

WHAT POSITION SHOULD PATIENT BE IN

A
  1. In order to see whether it helps at this level
  2. Trying to grip 2 adjacent spinous processes, grasp the 2 spinous processes and distract
  3. Do not want him in flexion, want natural lumbar lordosis because want the ligaments to be as lax as possible in order to feel the segments
40
Q

Segmental Distraction:

DEMO

A

Demo:
Patient sidelie with neutral spine: pillow under head, pillow under thorax, pillow between legs

Find the spinous process: stabilize the spinous process on top and mobilize the bottom, use the purchase I have on the sacrum to help with the stretch

Stabilize one

Grasp the bottom vertebrae

Pull along line of the spine

Get the distraction

Hold for 15-20 seconds and let it back slowly, ease off
