UQ & LQ Scanning Exam Flashcards
UQ,LQ scan fits into the __________ section of the Regis HOAC model
Tests and Measurments
3 components of scanning exam
Observation
Spine and extremity mobility assessment
Strength and nerve root level assessment
Posture assessment, skin integrity, functional movement assessment are part of
The observation component of the scan exam
Determination of whether seemingly unrelated impairments in a remote anatomical region may contribute to the patient’s primary complaint
Regional interdependence
T/F in myotome testing is done unilaterally
F
Grade response as WNL or Diminished
Myotome testing
What do you check for during skin integrity observation
Edema, bruising, areas of redness, temp changes
Perform the following activities to assess the individuals upper extremity functional mobility
Hands behind neck
Hands behind back
Comb hair
Bring cup to mouth (pronation)
What motions performed for cervical spine mobility assesment
Flex, ext, lat flex, rotation
What motions performed on shoulder in mobility assessment
Flex, abd, hyperext, rotation (int, ext)
What motions performed on elbow in mobility assessment
Flex, ext
What motions performed on wrist in mobility assessment
Flex, ext, ulnar and radial deviation
UQ mobility assessment. Which locations
Cervical spine
Shoulder
Elbow
Wrist
When would you not add over pressure to a region in the UQ mobility assessment
Pain
Does not have full active ROM
Nerve root level for neck flexion
C1-C2
Nerve root level for Neck Lateral Flexion
C3
Nerve root level for shoulder shrug
C4
Nerve root level for shoulder abduction
C5
Nerve root level for elbow flex/wrist ext
C6
Nerve root level for elbow ext/wrist flex
C7
Nerve root level for thumb abd
C8
Nerve root level for finger abd
T1
What would you assess in bed mobility
Bridging
Rolling to side
Supine to sit
Functional mobility for LQ scan
Step up/down
Squat
Sit to stand
Can also include gait analysis
Walking pattern in which there is weakness of the hip abductors
Trendelenburg
Lumbar mobility assessment
Flex, ext, Lat flex, rot, quadrant
Which lumbar mobility do we not apply over pressure
Rotation
Hip mobility assessment movements
Flexion, abd, rotation
Knee mobility assessment movements
Flexion, extension
Ankle mobility assessment movements
Dorsi, plantar, ever, inver
Hip Flexion nerve root
L23
Knee ext nerve root
L34
Dorsiflex or walking on heels nerve root
L45
Great toe ext nerve root
L5
Walking on toes/single-leg standing on toe-raises nerve root
L5S1
Ankle eversion nerve root
S12
Purpose of scanning exam
Identify areas of involvement if patient can’t delineate
Eliminate confusing info provided by patient
Delineate source of problem to a single area
Rule out referred pain from another region
