Question
Answer
Lumbar Strain   Back strain, non-radiateing lbp secondary to mechanical stress on lumbar spine. **Usually secondary to overuse or injury/deformity of anatomical structures  
🗑
***Know L4,L5,S1 dermatome, motor, and DTR for test***    
🗑
Differentiate b/w 1st, 2nd, 3rd degree strains   1st: Microscopic muscle fiber tears. 2nd: Macroscopic muscle fiber tears. 3rd: Complete disruption with joint stability. **Due to excessive stress or tension.  
🗑
Commonly seen causes of Lumbar strain   1.Direct or Indirect trauma. 2.Muscle spasms associated w/ prolonged contraction (flexion). 3.Paraspinals become deconditioned after injury.  
🗑
Describe how somatic dysfunction can lead to a lumbar strain   1.Starts out as a reflex w/ intent of protecting the lumbar spine from furher injury. 2.Sustained contraction becomes site of nocioception. 3.sustained contraction leads to muscle fatigue. 4.will eventually involve muscles, joints, fascia, and ligament  
🗑
What is pain that is localized to the lumbar/lumbosacral area that does NOT radiate to the extremities (maybe the buttocks) indicative of?   Lumbar Strain  
🗑
How can you differentiate b/w lumbar strain and iliolumbar ligament syndrome?   iliolumbar ligament syndrome will cause pain to radiate down into the inner thigh as well as the iliosacral region (mimics an inguinal hernia). **there will be no radiation down the extremities with lumbar strain.  
🗑
List the 4 main RED FLAGS of lbp   1.Neurological deficiets. 2.Incontinence. 3.Doesn't get better with rest (Fracture). 4.Fever/infection.  
🗑
What muscles in the lower extremity could cause lumbar strain if they lock the pelvis, putting the burden of constant flexion on the lumbar spine?   Hamstrings. **tight hamstrings will also slow recovery time.  
🗑
treatment for Lumbar strain   1.OMT (HVLA may not be tolerated for Acute strains). 2.NSAIDS, ice, muscle relaxants. 3.Control physical activity for TWO days. **Active exercise programs should start EARLY in treatment (stretching then strengthening)  
🗑
What is the action of the piriformis   External rotation and ABduction of the hip.  
🗑
What is usually the cause of Piriformis Syndrome?   Sciatic Nerve compression/entrapment by the overlying piriformis. **Epineural irritation leads to inflammation which would add to the pain sensation. There will be tenderness above muscle belly.  
🗑
Are there any neurological deficits with piriformis syndrome?   NO: No numbness, DTR changes, or muscle weakness, Neg straight leg raise test. **Only pain that does NOT go past the knee.  
🗑
Does pain increase with valsalva squeeze in a patient with Piriformis syndrome   NO  
🗑
A patient with Piriformis syndrome will be restricted in what ROM?   Internal Rotation at the hip.  
🗑
Treatment for Piriformis Syndrome   1.OMT: counterstrain, myofascial release (indirect is better), ME, Sacroiliac articulatory. 2.NSAIDS & muscle relaxanats (at night). 3.Home exercises.  
🗑
A patient with Iliopsoas syndrome will usually be doing what motion at the time of injury?   Flexion. **They will have trouble Standing straight up.  
🗑
What symptoms/findings would you expect with a patient who has Iliopsoas syndrome?   1.Sciatic pain usually not past the knee due to piriformis spasm (on opposite side). 2.L1-L2 FRxSx. 3.Pelvis shifts towards the opposite side of the injured iliopsoas.  
🗑
Treatment for Iliopsoas Syndrome   1.OMT: counterstrain & ME (towards the injured iliopsoas). 2.NSAIDS & muscle relaxants. 3.Home exercise.  
🗑
