Spine & SI
(+) ULTTa, involved side rotation ROM <60˚, (+) Distraction Test, and a (+) Spurling's Test are all a part of the CPR for this condition
Cervical Radiculopathy
The CPR for a rotator cuff tear includes these 3 tests
Painful Arc
Drop Arm
Infraspinatus MMT
Hip pain, Hip internal rotation ROM <15˚, and Hip flexion <115˚ are a part of this CPR
Hip Osteoarthritis
A patient presenting with a history of a dangerous MOI, age >/= 65, and paresthesias in the extremities indicates need to x-ray this body part
Cervical Spine
These two tests are useful for ruling in and ruling out a SLAP lesion
Biceps I
Biceps II
No symptoms distal to the knee, FABQ-W score <19, hip IR PROM >35˚ for at least one hip, hypomobility, and pain less than this many days are indicators that the patient will have a successful response to a lumbar manipulation
16 days
(+) Hawkin's Kennedy, (+) Painful Arc, and a painful/ weak response to this MMT are a part of the CPR for subacromial impingement
Infraspinatus MMT
Ankle Brachial Index
5 of the 8 indicators for head CT after blunt trauma
Evidence of skull fracture
Scalp hematoma
Neurologic deficit
Altered level of alertness
Abnormal behavior
Coagulopathy

Age >/= 65
2 special tests for the shoulder to assess posterior labral lesions
Kim Test
Jerk Test
3 predictors of poor long term outcomes in athletes with acute spondylolysis
Female
Multi-level injury
Symptoms are significantly worsening
This sign is good to both rule in and rule out an infraspinatus tear
External Rotation Lag Sign
4 of the 5 tests and measures that indicate a meniscal pathology
History of catching/ locking
Joint line tenderness
Pain with forced hyperextension
Pain with passive knee flexion
(+) McMurray's
Inability to flex the knee this many degrees is a part of the cluster that indicates the need for knee x-rays
90 degrees
(also age >/= 55, isolated tenderness of patella, tenderness at fibular head, and inability to weight bear 4 steps immediately
4 of the 5 predictors of improved short term shoulder pain following a cervicothoracic manipulation
Pain free shoulder flexion <120˚
Shoulder internal rotation <53˚ at 90˚ abduction
(-) Neers
Not currently taking meds for shoulder pain
Symptoms <90 days
4 of the 6 indicators that a thoracic manipulation will have a positive effect on neck pain
Symptoms < 30 days
No symptoms distal to the shoulder
Looking up does not aggravate symptoms
FABQ Physical Activity Scale <12
Diminished upper thoracic kyphosis
Cervical extension ROM <30˚
If a patient presents with a positive results to these 5 tests, it is highly likely that they have an anterior labral tear
Crank Test
Apprehension
Jobe Relocation
Anterior Load/ Shift
Sulcus Sign
Hip pain plus 2 of these 3 radiographic criteria are used to diagnose Hip OA
ESR <20 mm/h
Osteophytes on hip x-rays
Joint space narrowing on x-rays
Ankle trauma plus these 2 findings indicates the need for ankle x-rays
Bone tenderness at med/lat malleolus
Inability to weight bear 4 steps
This test is good for ruling in and ruling out a teres minor tear
Horn Blower's
A negative result of these 5 tests can be used to help rule out a pathology of the SIJ
Sacral Thrust
Gaenslan's
Thigh Thrust
Compression
Distraction
An internal rotation lag sign indicates a tear in this muscle of the UE
Subscapularis
6 of the 9 positive points for a Wells Score
Active cancer
Calf swelling >3 cm compared to other side
Collateral superficial veins (non-varicose)
Pitting edema
Previous documented DVT
Swelling of entire leg
Localized pain along distribution of deep venous system
Paralysis/ paresis/ recent immobilization
Recently bedridden >3 days or major surgery requiring anesthesia in the past 4 weeks
Bone tenderness at these 2 bones as well as the inability to weight bear 4 steps initially indicates the need for a foot x-ray
Navicular
Base of 5th metatarsal
4 tests to evaluate a potential PLC tear
Dial test
Varus stress test
Reverse pivot shift test
External rotation recurvatum test
