Question
Answer
Fx of pars interarticularis   Spondylolysis  
🗑
XR sign of spondylolysis   Scotty dog on oblique view  
🗑
Anterior or posterior slippage of one vertebra on another following bilat Fx of pars   Spondylolisthesis  
🗑
XR view to see spondylolisthesis   lateral  
🗑
Exercise focus for spondylolisthesis or spondylolysis   Trunk stabilization, Flexed to neutral trunk work, avoid extension / IL sidebending / CL rotation  
🗑
Spinal manip for spondy   possibly contraindicated  
🗑
Narrowing of spinal canal or IVF with hypertrophy of spinal lamina, lig flavum, facets   Spinal stenosis  
🗑
Sx of spinal stenosis   bilat pain/paresthesia in back/butt/legs, extension sensitive, increases with walking, relieved with prolonged rest  
🗑
PT Tx for spinal stenosis   joint mobilization, flexion based exercise, trunk stability, traction  
🗑
Internal disc annulus disrupted without damage to external structures   internal disc disruption  
🗑
Internal disc disruption most common where?   lumbar region  
🗑
Sx of internal disc disruption   constant deep achy pain, pain increases with mvmt, no objective neuro findings but may be referred pain into LEs  
🗑
PT Tx for internal disc disruption   joint mobs, manipulation may be contraindicated, body mechanics, trunk stability  
🗑
Overstretching or tearing of annular rings, vertebral endplate or lig structures   disc bulge/herniation, usu occurs posterolateral  
🗑
MOI of disc bulge or herniation   high compressive forces or repetitive microtrauma  
🗑
Precipitating factors for herniation posteriorly   posterior disc narrower in height, posterior longitudinal lig not as strong and only central, posterior lamellae of annulus thinner  
🗑
Sx of disc bulge   loss of strength, radicular sx, paresthesia  
🗑
PT Tx for posterolateral disc bulge   trunk stability, positional gapping, manipulation contraindicatied, body mechanics, traction  
🗑
Positional gapping L bulge   10 min. R sidelying with pillow under R trunk to incr sidebend R. Flex hips/knees. Rotate trunk to left.  
🗑
Central posterior disc bulge or herniation usually seen   in cervical spine  
🗑
Possible serious sequelae of Cx disc bulge   SC compression with CNS sx – hyperreflexia, Babinski’s  
🗑
DJD of facets results in   bony hypertrophy, capsular fibrosis, hyper or hypomobility of joints, synovial proliferation  
🗑
Sx of facet DJD   decreased spinal mobility, pain, nerve root impingement signs with loss of strength & paresthesias  
🗑
Exam to include for Facet DJD   Quadrant test  
🗑
“Locked back” or facet entrapment   abnormal mvmt of fibroadipose meniscoid in facet when Flex to Ext. Meniscoid bunches up and becomes space occupying lesion, distends capsule, causes pain.  
🗑
PT treatment for facet entrapment   Facet joint gapping, manipulation  
🗑
Early Sx of WAD   HA, neck pain, decr ROM, reversal of lower Cx lordosis, decr upper Cx kyphosis, vertigo, vision/hearing changes, noise/light irritability, dysesthesias of face & UEs, nausea, dysphagia, emotional lability  
🗑
Late Sx of WAD   chronic head/neck pain, decr ROM, TMD, limited ADL tolerance, disequilibrium, anxiety, depression  
🗑
Clinical findings in WAD   postural changes, excessive muscle guarding, soft tissue fibrosis, segmental hypermobility with gradual devel of restricted segmental motion cranial & caudal to injury  
🗑
Abnormal increase in ROM at a joint due to insufficient soft tissue control   hypermobile spinal segments  
🗑
Clinical tests for SIJ conditions   Gillet’s, IL anterior rotation test, Gaenslen’s, Long-sitting test, Goldthwait’s test  
🗑
