Neuroscreen
This dermatome is tested over the first dorsal web space of the hand.
What is the C6 Dermatome?
Name three tests that are part of the Wainner Cervical Radiculopathy Cluster
What are:
SMPs was used on a patient who c/o 8/10 pain with shoulder elevation. To be significant, the patient should respond what level of pain during the application.
The level of vertebrae that is identified by T7 spinous process.
What is T8?
This tissue may be contributing factor with restrictions and pain with cervical rotation
What is the facet?
A patient demonstrates weakness with shoulder abduction. This cervical nerve root should be suspected during your neuro screen.
You would also perform DTR and dermatome at
What is C5?
A patient who comes in with bilateral paresthesia in bilateral extremities, you would perform these test.
what is cervical myelopathy cluster?
•Hoffman test
•Inverted supinator sign
•Babinski test
•Gait disturbances
•Age greater than 45 yrs
A patient has low back pain during standing extension. Symptoms immediately decrease when lumbar distraction is applied. What does this suggest about treatment direction?
What is that the patient may respond favorably to lumbar unloading/distraction-based interventions?
This type of posture is typically found a diagnosis of cervical facet arthritis.
What is forward head posture
The cervical spine typically rotates and side bends to the same side.
What is the coupling pattern for the lower cervical spine?
A patient presents with numbness in the long finger, weakness with elbow extension but strong with wrist flexion
What is median nerve entrapment?
Name at least 5 components of the Wells Criteria used to assess a patient for DVT.
what are:
Demonstrate a SMP to the foot that will help with DF and explain what impairment you are attempting to influence.
What is a Posterior Talar Glide SMP used to improve dorsiflexion and determine if talocrural mobility contributes to symptoms?
A patient who suffers from a left herniated disc typically shifts to this side.
What is the right side?
For the thoracic spine, the restrictions/pain in each of these planes typically represents the respective structure: have to list in correctly
1. sagittal 2. Frontal 3. Transverse
What is 1. Disc 2. Rib 3. facet
Demonstrate how you would assess the L4 myotome and identify the corresponding dermatome and reflex.
What is:
A patient comes to you for direct access for a sprained ankle and can't bear weight on that ankle. You proceed to palpate these structures to screen for ankle vs foot fracture
Ankle: tenderness 6m of post edge of tibia and fibula
foot: tenderness to 5th MT and navicular bone
Demonstrate the axial pull test with resisted ER. What diagnosis does this indicate if the pain is reduced?
This type of posture is identified by a posterior shift of the trunk
What is a sway back posture?
A patients comes in and presents with significant myotomal weakness and you are thinking about triaging whether to treat or not. You decide this is the best route.
A patient reports lateral foot numbness and difficulty pushing off during gait. Perform the relevant neuro screen, identify the involved nerve root, and explain your findings. If it was a peripheral nerve entrapment, what nerve would it be and how would you test it?
What is S1 involvement?
Peripheral: Sural, SLR with DF/INV
Demonstrates at least this amount of test to rule in SIJ dysfunction.
What is Laslett's cluster (3/5)?
–Distraction
–Thigh thrust
–Gaenslen’s
–Compresion
–Sacral thurst
Demonstrate any scapular assist technique for shoulder elevation correctly.
Did I perform it correctly?
Scapular Assist, Scapular Reposition, Unloading
These landmarks are a helper to identify T3 and T7 vertebrae
What is the spine of the scapula and inferior angle of scapula.
Assess/demo Cervical spine thoroughly to identify Upper vs lower segments
what is cervical AROM biasing C01, C1-2?
