Lumbopelvic Flashcards
(77 cards)
spondylosis
age related degeneration
spondylolysis
defect in the pars interarticularis of the vertebra
spondylolithesis
forward displacement of one vertebra on another
retrolisthesis
backward displacement of one vertebra on another
peripheralization
pain is being referred distally toward or into a limb
centrilization
pain is moving toward the spine or source
mechanical low back pain
general term for back pain that does not refer distally
L1-5 oriented in…
25 degrees from sagittal plane
L1-5 have most motion in? least?
most motion in sagittal plane and resists rotation
where does the most rotation occur in the lumbar spine?
L5-S1
what is most likely to happen at the transitional zone of the spine
increased likelihood of mechanical instability
sacral orientation
post to ant, inclined ant/inf 40 degrees
L5-S1 shear forces resisted by…
disc, ZAJ, ZAJ capsule, ALL, iliolumbar ligaments
lumbar lordosis
40-50 degrees, result of disc orientation
main job of lumbar discs
resist compression and tension
radial expansion
dissipation of forces by the disc in a circumferential fashion
what motion puts a lot of stress on the discs
combined flexion and rotation/twisting
ALL
thick ligament that resists anterior migration of the disc and resist lumbar extension
PLL
resists posterior migration of the disc centrally but provides little support in lateral recess
how many degrees of lumbar flexion
45-55 degrees
in lumbar flexion, how does the disk move
moves nucleus posterior
annulus bulges anterior
how much does the foramen open during lumbar flexion
up to 19% increase
intradiscal pressure laying down
25 kg
intradiscal pressure side lying
75 kg
