The Evaluation, Functional Tests Flashcards
Which portion of the evaluation is considered by the CFS authors to be one of the most comprehensive components of a back care program?
The Subjective Evaluation
What are the purposes to a subjective evaluation?
Establish a rapport with the patient
Gain information about the patient’s functional status, lifestyle, symptoms, etc.
Assist the patient in self assessment and becoming responsible for his/her problem
When should objective data be graded?
As often as possible
What questions should be asked about a patient’s pain each time they are seen to determine progress and current presenting symptoms?
Location of pain
Frequency of pain
Duration of pain
Intensity of pain
Immediate onset of pain is typical of pain that is ________ in nature
Mechanical
Delayed onset of pain is typical of pain that is _________ in nature
Inflammatory
Pain with an immediate onset can be linked to _____________
A specific movement, activity, or posture
Pain with an immediate onset can or cannot be monitored by a patient during treatment and exercise?
Can
When a patient is not able to determine what aggravated their symptoms this is most likely due to a _________ onset of pain
Delayed.
A therapist can minimize the problems that a delayed onset of symptoms can created by _______
Limiting the treatment performed.
Patients with delayed onset of pain need to be placed on a _____________
Progressive Exercise Program.
Questions related to ADL response that are important for therapists building corefirst strategies are:
Aggravating activities
Easing activities
It can be helpful to classify functionally a patient into one of the following categories related to activity based pain:
Load Sensitive
Pressure Sensitive
Position Sensitive
Stasis Sensitive
The person who came up with functional classifications in pain was _____________
Eileen Volowitiz
The Saliba functional classification is a ratio of two components, the first is the ___________ the second is the _____________
Thoracic block position over the pelvis
Angulation of the thoracic block.
Efficient alignment in the saliba postural classification lines up the _________ over the __________
Diaphragm
Pelvic Floor
When confirming a vertical/posterior posture by VCT will cause __________________
Accentuated extension in T/L region and upper lumbar region
When confirming a posterior/posterior posture by VCT will cause __________________
Accentuated extension in lumbar spine coupled with a forward shear of the pelvis
When confirming a posterior/anterior posture by VCT will cause __________________
Slight flexion in the thoracic and upper lumbar spine coupled with a forward shear of the pelvis.
When confirming an anterior posterior posture by VCT will cause __________________
Extension in the upper/mid lumbar and posterior shear of the pelvis.
When confirming an anterior posterior posture by VCT will cause __________________
Overall flexion of the trunk
Using a vertical compression test as a pre test allows the therapist to:
Demonstrate the effect of mechanical, neuromuscular, or motor control dysfunctions on ACE and strength to patient
Gather objective data related to the patients structural and functional strategies
Using Vertical Compression as a post test allows the therapist to:
Demonstrate to the patient the effect of efficient structure on alignment and ACE.
