Q

What will be worse for early disc patients, SLR or slump?

A

SLR 30-60 degrees and slump are EQUALLY BAD
*hip flexion–>lumbar flexion
*lumbar flexion!

Q

If someone has…
pain with mm guarding all motions
-pain worse in AM and NIGHT
-pain with transitional movements
hypermobility early, then hypomobility later
-impaired extension
flexibility or repetitive lifting HURTS

A

facet impairment!
usually more 30s, facet more involved

Q

SLR vs slump in stenosis!

A

SLR more positive than slump!
slump=lumbar flexion

17
Q

If someone has 3 or more of these:
1. SLR over 91
2. positive prone instability
3. catch/abherrant movement
4. younger than 40
5. postpartum

A

STABILIZATION

18
Q

If someone has:
1. red flags
2. med problems that are bad
3. leg pain with neuro deficits

A

MEDICAL MANAGEMENT

19
Q

If someone has
1. medium/high psychosocial risks
2. low psychosocial risks with LEG PAIN
3. minor comorbidities

A

REHAB/PT

20
Q

If someone has
1. low psychosocial risks
2. mainly LBP only
3. minor comorbidities

A

self care!

21
Q

If someone has a flexion preference, they usually have….
what posture?
more ___ROM

A

more extension ROM, limited FLEXION
flexion feels better!
flat spine, lordotic/kyphotic

22
Q

What should you avoid/educate about for flexion preference

A
  1. avoid overhead/extension
  2. standing on one leg
  3. sit with knees above hips
  4. endurance good
    5.
23
Q

patient presents with flexion or flattened spine. they prob have

A

extension preference! limited extension ROM
*lumbar flexion syndrome

24
Q

hamstring stretch is good for…

A

extension preference in subacute phase with opposite leg extended to restore FLEXION AS TOLERATED

25
Q

ADL/education for extension preference

A
  1. avoid flexion
  2. avoid valsalva
  3. extension for pain control
  4. lift in neutral
  5. sit with lumbar support
  6. sleep with lumbar support
26
Q

what does the thoracolumbar fascia do for the lumbar spine?

A

stiffen lumbar spine without compression! train the lats and glutes

27
Q

What are the 3 global abdominal muscles

A

RECTUS AB
EXT OBLIQUE
ERECTOR SPINAE

28
Q

What is ADIM

A

TrA activation
1. pull ASIS together
2. hold pee (pelvic floor)
3. zip up tight pants
4. blow out candle/exhale

if you see post pelvic tilt (RA)
upper abs under ribs (compensation)
quick contraction (compensation)
pullribs down (EO)

29
Q

posterior pelvic tilt causes ____ mm activation and is best for ____ pain modulation

A

RA activation
best for flexion pain modulation

30
Q

___MM contributes to increase IAP with both isometric and active trunk flx and ext via EMG

A

transverse ABDOMINUS

31
Q

goals for stability training

A
  1. ACTIVATION
  2. STRENGTH
  3. FUNCTIONAL STABILITY
