| 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. |
