Test 4 Flashcards
Combined the SLR and DF will imply what?
Tibial n
How to test muscle length of the pec major
UE AB, ER
ROM in OA jt
Flex: 5
Ext: 10
Rotation: Neg.
Lat flex: 5
Total cervical ROM
Flex/Ext: 120-130
Rotation: 65-75
Lat flex; 35-40
How to test OA ROM
full rotation, nodding of upper cervical spine; full chin tuck (capital flexion) with lateral flexion and rotation
Flexion preference TBC implication
> 50 yoa
lumbar spinal stenosis
During the SLR what does posterior pain on the aspect of leg and LB mean?
Intermediate disc protrusion
If pt feels pain in the 70+ ROM during the SLR what is implicated?
Lumbar or SI jt pain
Thoracic facet angles
15-25 degree frontal bias
TBC manipulation
No symptoms distal to knee Recent onset (<16 days) Low FABQ (<19) Lumbar hypomobility Hip IR >35 for at least 1 hip
Cervical disc herniation
Flexion may increase pain
Pain provocation and foraminal closure tests may be positive, pain not relieved by rest
Cervical facet angles
45 in all 3 planes
Signs of Cervical Myelopathy
Wide based spastic stance Clumsy stance Changes in handwriting Difficulty manipulating Hyperreflexia \+ Babinski, Hoffman, Lhermitte's Urinary retention followed by overflow incontinence.
Laslett’s regimen CPR
3/6 + tests Thigh thrust R Gaenslen's L Gaenslen's ASIS distraction ASIS compression Sacral thrust
Signs of Cervical instability
Intolerance to prolonged static posture Fatigue to hold head Head feels heavy Sharp pain Neck gets stuck
TBC traction
S/S nerve root compression
No movements centralize
How to MMT the abs?
- Hands behind neck, scap off table (20-30)
- Arms crossed, scap off table (15-20)
- Arms straight, scap off table (10-15)
- Hands behind head, top of scap off table (1-10)
- Arms straight, only head off table
Firing pattern of core muscles:
- TA/multifidi before spinal extensors
2. Diaphagm/pelvic floor stabilize core
Upper Crossed Syndrome
Weak Deep neck flexors, lower trap and SA
Tight Pecs, upper trap and levator scap
Cervical spondylosis
Extension reproduces pain; unilateral pain into affected dermatomes
Slow onset, pain not relieved with rest
Centralization TBC
Radicular/referred: traction
Peripheralization: movements to centralize
Damage to VA or carotid artery causes pain where?
Ipsilateral neck and neck
How would we assess the muscle length of the piriformis?
IR, ADD below 90 hip flexion
ER, ADD above 90 hip flexion
Neoplastic condition signs:
>50 Unexplained weight loss Previous history of cancer Constant pain, no relief Night pain
Waddell Criteria: Tenderness
- Significant pain to light touch or pinch
- Non-anatomic (LS, Pelvis, TS)
What happens to the TPs if there is a R unilateral flexion/opening restriction?
Flexion: R TP more posterior
Extension: R TP more anterior
S/S Cauda Equina syndrome:
LBP, LOS in LEs, muscle weak/atrophy, B/B changes, perineal pain, unilateral or bilateral sciatica, change in DTRs
Vestibular symptoms vs VBI:
Vestibular symptoms will change from sitting to supine.
VBI will be unchanged.
How to test muscle length of the Levator scapulae
Cervical flexion and CL rotation
Compression fx CPR
5/5=99%, 9.3 + LR Age >52 No leg pain BMI <22 Sedentary Female
