3 - motion introduced in one plane will dec motion in others

33
Q

FRS(L)

A

F so we know SAME
So motion avail - flex, rot L, SB L
Restricted in - ext, rot R, SB R

So to tx - put in L sl, ext them, rot R and use legs to SB R

34

Flex/Ext - increase as descend
LF - dec at lower
Rot - minimal

35

Hypolord = less than 35

Norm is 35-45

36
Q

Disc herniation rules

A

C1-8 nerve roots come out ABOVE respective vert
(C5 nerve root is between C4 and C5 vert)
(C8 nerve root is between C7 and T1 vert)

T1-L5 nn roots come out BELOW respective vert
(L2 comes out between L2 and L3 vert)

37

A

SIJ hypomobility if PSIS that was lower is higher with forward bend

58
Q

Gillet

A

Standing - palpate S2 and PSIS on one side

When flex that hip - if PSIS does not move inf = hypomobility

59
Q

Long sitting test

A

For leg length vs. pelvic rotation
pos for post rotation if shorter leg in supine becomes longer in sitting
OPP would happen for ant rotated innominate
