100

Rotation should be assessed while sitting to

Eliminate hip and thigh movement

100

The Straight-Leg Raise Test is used to assess

What is Sciatic nerve root irritation; herniated disc


100

The term ruptured disk refers to a herniation of the

What is the nucleus pulposus through the annulus fibrosus

100

This muscle is responsible for Trunk extension

What is the Erector spinae


100

This serves as the nerve root exit from the lumbar plexus into the lower extremity

What is the intervertebral foramen

200

This is prime flexor of the trunk

What is the rectus abdominis 

200

A positive Bowstring Test is when 

Pain returns with popliteal pressure

200

This injury typically results from high compressive or axial loading forces to a partially flexed lumbar spine

What is a compression fracture
200

External and internal obliques assist with these motions

What is Flexion and also produce rotation and lateral flexion

200

The L4 and L5 interspace is at the level of the

What is the iliac creat 

300

This ROM includes forward flexion, back extension, lateral flexion, and trunk rotation

What is Thoracolumbar ROM

300

This test is used to assess Nerve root, meningeal or dural irritation

The Kernig-Brudzinski Test

300

Spondylolisthesis is characterized by

By a forward subluxation of the involved vertebra 

300

What muscles make up the abdominal muscles 

What are the rectus abdominis, external oblique, internal oblique, and transversus abdominis

300

This vertebra is the level of the inferior angle of the scapula

What is T7

400

Normal Thoracolumbar flexion measured with a tape measure is 

10 cm

400

When the patient reports weakness, referred pain, numbness, or tingling into the lower extremities these tests should be performed

What are neurological testing - examine sensory, motor, and reflex responses bilaterally

400

This injury involves a fracture of the pars interarticularis

Spondylolysis

400

This muscle is responsible for increasing intra-abdominal pressure through the Valsalva maneuver

What is the transversus abdominis

400

An excessive posterior curvature of the upper and midthoracic spine

What is kyphosis

500

Motion that measures the distance from S2 to a mark 10 cm superiorly where the athlete begins in neutral, bilateral stance (feet shoulder- width apart); trunk moves into forward flexion. The increase in distance (cm) between mark and S2 from neutral stance to full flexion is assessing this ROM

What is Lumbar Flexion

500

What test is this:                                              Patient position: Supine                                     Clinician position: Standing at patient’s thighs              Clinician’s stabilizing hand position: anterior knee to     maintain knee extension                               Clinician’s test hand position: Grasping patient’s distal   leg to position hip in medial rotation and adduction. Action performed: Perform the straight-leg test on the uninvolved side.                                               Positive result:Patient reports pain on the involved side with a straight-leg raise of the uninvolved limb.

What is the well straight-leg raise

500

A rheumatic disease that causes arthritis of the spine and sacroiliac joints

What is Ankylosing Spondylitis

500

What muscles make up the erector spinae

What are the spinalis, longissimus, and iliocostalis

500

The function of the lumbar spine

Provides mobility and stability for upper-extremity and torso movements and effectively absorbs and transmits forces between the upper and lower extremities
