Clinical Measures
100
It is this axis.
What is the Left Oblique Axis?
100
ASIS, PSIS, Iliac Crest, and Pubic Tubercule is lower on involved side.
What is a Downslip?
100
Engaging the right hamstrings and the left quadriceps treats this condition.
What is right anterior or left posterior rotation?
100
Coxa Valga is identified by this angle or larger.
What is 125 degrees or larger?
100
This is the moving arm for both Cervical Flexion and Extension Goniometry.
What is parallel to the inferior border of the nose?
200
When there is a Right on Right or a Left on Left Sacral Torsion, the sacrum will rotate this way.
What is Forward Rotation?
200
The Sacral Sulcus appears larger. The ASIS is more medial and the PSIS is more lateral.
What is Inflare?
200
This is the most important step before treating a patient with muscle energy.
What is Setting the Pubic Symphysis?
200
This Spinal Pathology can be differentiated by its genetic counterpart by asking the patient to hang from a pull up bar.
What is functional scoliosis?
200
This is the axis for Lumbar Lateral Flexion Goniometry.
What is the spinous process of S1?
300
This rotation causes the right sacral base to appear more posterior when compared to the left.
What is a Right on Left Sacral Torsion?
300
The affected leg will appear short -> long on painful side when doing a prone knee flexion special test.
What is Posterior Inominate Rotation ?
300
FABER/figure 4 position with resistance against gravity on the right side can treat this pathology.
What is Right Inflare?
300
This postural defect is caused by elongated & weak hip flexors and short & strong hamstrings. *BE SPECIFIC*
What is Flat Lumbar Spine?
300
This is the average ROM for combined Lumbar and Thoracic Rotation.
What is 45 Degrees?
400
The left sacral base will appear more anterior than the left when this happens.
What is Right on Right Sacral Torsion?
400
Patient c/o pain in the groin, point tenderness in the pubic tubercle, and MMT is 4/5 secondary to pain.
What is Pubic Shear?
400
Patient is sidelying on uninvolved side with top knee at the crease of the clinicians hip. Patient resists in hip flexion and slight adduction against clinician's resistance.
What us Posterior Rotation Muscle Energy?
400
If the patient has correct posture, the clinician should see these 4 structures even with its bilateral counterpart when observing anteriorly.
What is Earlobes, Iliac Crests, Patellae, and Medial Malleoli?
400
This is a goniometric tool that does not have any arms, but instead allows the clinician to read the degrees directly from it.
What is an Arthrodial Protractor?
500
The left Sacral ILA will appear posterior due to this condition.
What is Left on Left Sacral Torsion?
500
Can be caused by a sudden twist, chronic hip flexor tightness, golf swing, or traumatic hyperextension.
What is Anterior Inominate Rotation?
500
Patient sidelying with hips and knees at 90 degrees while lowered off the edge of the table. Clinician stabilizes at the sacrum while the patient resists against gravity into the clinician's hand.
What is Left on Left Sacral Torsion Muscle Energy?
500
This postural defect can cause breathing problems, difficulties with walking & getting out of chairs, and digestive problems.
What is Kyphosis?
500
This is anchored at both the C7 spinous process and the S1 spinous process.
What is Tape Measurement for Spine Flexion or Extension?
