Q

Control of pelvis/hip

A

*
Control of the pelvis/hip
*One leg stance: Recruitment of trunk muscles
If force closure is not in place
 ant sagital rot of tested sides’s ilium  CN ipsilat SIJ + longitudinal pelvic rot towards lifted leg + caudal pubic symphysis displacement
* One leg stance: Recruitment of hip muscles
If force closure is not in place –> anterior displacement/rot of femur

Q

Posterior Pelvic Pain Provocation test [P4] /Thigh thrust

A

*The test is performed supine and the
patient’s hip flexed to an angle of 90
degrees on the side to be examined:
*Light manual pressure is applied to
the patient’s flexed knee along the
longitudinal axis of the femur while
the pelvis is stabilized by the
examiner’s other hand resting on the
patients contralateral ASIS
*The test is positive when the patient
feels a familiar well localized pain
deep in the gluteal area on the
provoked side

Q

Gaenslen’s test

A

The patient, lying supine, flexes the hip/knee and draws it towards the chest by clasping the flexed knee with both hands. The opposite leg extends over the edge while the other leg remains flexed. The examiner uses this manoeuvre to gently stress both sacroiliac joints simultaneously.

Q

ASLR (MC test)

A

*Assessing pelvic control strategy: Just lift 10 cm and
observe
*Lumbopelvic stabilization lacking = compensation
*rib cage draws in = EO
*Lower ribs flare out = IO
*Thoracic extension = ES
*Abdomen bulge = breath holding
*Repeat with pelvic belt. Improvement = positive test
*+ test = a need for rehab of Force Closure

Q

ASLR (original test)

A

*The patient is asked to score any feeling of impairment
[‘how much effort?’] (on both sides separately) on a 6
point scale: not difficult at all = 0; minimally difficult = 1;
somewhat difficult = 2; fairly difficult = 3; very difficult =
4; unable to do = 5 Mens et al 2001 ; EBCG 2008]
*Feel under WB heel which one pushes down the
hardest to lift the other leg
*Repeat with pelvic belt. Improvement = positive test
*+ test = a need for rehab of Force Closure

Q

Perform all Lx active movements + with over pressure (from above and below)

24
Perform and explain one leg stance for SIJ
*One leg stance: Recruitment of trunk muscles If force closure is not in place  ant sagital rot of tested sides’s ilium  CN ipsilat SIJ + longitudinal pelvic rot towards lifted leg + caudal pubic symphysis displacement *One leg stance: Recruitment of hip muscles If force closure is not in place  anterior displacement/rot of femur
25
Perform lumbar manipulation to the right side (contraindications?)
* P on R side, pillow under head, hips and knees in Flexion * P lies close enough to edge for L knee to glide over edge of bed * T in front of P between P’s trunk and flexed knees * P’s L shoulder is in minimal E with elbow F, forearm resting on P’s side STEP 1 * T localises correct level for L3/4 * T finds mid-position of the joint with F/E PPIVM * T keeps L index finger in L3/4 interspinous space to maintain mid-position of the joint * T or P straightens underneath R knee, keeping R hip in slight F * T bends P L knee in F until dorsum of P’s L foot hooks behind P’s R knee * T keeps R index or middle finger in L3/4 interspinous space * T pushes L hand underneath P’s R shoulder and pulls P’s arm towards ceiling until P’s L knee lifts slightly * P R hand under pillow. P R arm relaxes in abduction and lateral rot STEP 2 * T threads L arm through P’s elbow, L upper forearm against P L shoulder * T chest on P’s L arm * T’s R upper forearm behind P’s L hip * T’s L thumb pushes down against the upper L side of the spinous process of L3 * T middle finger pulls up against the under R side of P’s L4 spinous process * T uses mainly forearms to simultaneously rock P’s upper body backwards and lower body forwards in small oscillatory movements to achieve maximum rotary stretch * T increases the pressure against spinous processes until EOR of IVJ achieved and maintained * T executes a small, quick, sharp thrust to rotate L4 on L3 ADDITIONAL INFO * Adjust the position so that L3/4 is neutral, take up the slack, let the P’s upper leg drop off the bed if needed * Roll the P over to a balance point so that the thrust will affect the pelvis and thorax equally * Secure the thumb and finger contact * Thrust along the joint plane by a drop/twist of the body, using the forearm against the greater trochanter and the sternum against the ribcage as leverage * Uses: simple mechanical low back pain, in the absence of any risk factors
26
FEMORAL SLUMP

Reapply Cx F to test the resistance to hip extension to confirm. Tx and Lx spine must not move.
27
