Document Content and Description Below

Lumbopelvic Stabilization Models in Theory and in Practice Scoliosis - ✔✔lateral deviation of the lumbar and/or thoracic spine Scoliosis can be __________ or _________ - ✔✔structural or functional Not a __________ of LBP unless over 40 degrees; often incidental - ✔✔predictor LBP = - ✔✔low back pain Scoliosis is not usually due to environment, found in higher rates associated with - ✔✔swimming and dancing Scoliosis can have asymmetry in the following muscle groups: - ✔✔spinal erector spinae, obliques, latissimus dorsi, and contralateral gluteus maximus __________ muscle activity may precede bony changes and may be trainable - ✔✔Abnormal True or False: The direction of the scoliosis does not predict the gross trunk strength imbalance - ✔✔True Scoliosis may have little to do with skeletal maturity and more to do with the - ✔✔hormonal milieu The patient ______ ____ need to be pain-free to commence stabilization training - ✔✔does not True or False: The patient must have achieved full ROM to commence stabilization training - ✔✔FalseProper spinal ___________ can help achieve outcomes like full ROM and being pain-free - ✔✔conditioning Gentle exercises like abdominal hollowing, Kegels are best to wait until ___________ weeks s/p exacerbation before more aggressive strengthening - ✔✔4-6 How does prescribed exercise relieve spine pain and what are the benefits? - ✔✔gates pain, relaxes muscle spasm, lubricates joints (and favorably alters the chemical balance in IV discs), encourages healing and modeling of disc tissue to resist forces, enables the patient to conquer the fear of movement, and reduces swelling around nerve roots Spinal exercises ________ blood flow to the spine, thus providing improved nutrition to joints, disks, bone, and muscle - ✔✔increases Exercise decreases - ✔✔stiffness True or False After one episode of back pain, spinal muscles remain inhibited and do not spontaneously recover without deliberate exercise - ✔✔True General exercise may ______ body weight, thus reducing stress on the spine that may complicate spinal complaints - ✔✔reduce Improved movement awareness and muscular control ________ chances of being in a compromised position - ✔✔decreases
