Definition[edit | edit source]
Assessment[edit | edit source]
Lumbopelvic stability can be assessed with either with equipment or clinical measures such as palpation, active straight leg raise, lumbar lordosis, pelvic inclination and dynamic tests. Dynamic tests include runner pose, hopping tests, single leg squat, dip test. [1]
Physical Therapy[edit | edit source]
Training Principles for Phase 1[edit | edit source]
- Injury Prevention and Body Mechanics
- Total Health (Nutrition, Cardiopulmonary exercise)
- Movement Retraining Basics
- Core Setting
- Evidence for Stability Training for Low Back Pain (and pelvic pain) [1][2]
Criteria for Progression to Phase 2
Below outlines the criteria that each patient must accomplish before allowed to complete the phase 2 exercises. At times, some phase 2 exercises may be given when a patient has not met this criteria. But rarely, will a patient be given the entire cuff program and the big 4 without meeting this criteria. This is based on anecdotal evidence of how best to prevent injury.
- Able to engage the primary core muscles without compensatory firing or pain in non-weight bearing (supine or prone)
- Able to engage the primary core muscles without compensatory firing or pain in static weight bearing positions (standing)
- Core Endurance and Ratio Testing has been completed[3] [4][5]
- The Big 4 exercises (or modifications of each one) are tolerated for at least a single hold of 8 seconds[6]
Training Principles for phase 2[edit | edit source]
- Movement Retraining Intermediate
- Big 4 Exercises
Training principles for Phase 3[edit | edit source]
- Static Balance - Stable Surface
- Static Balance - Unstable Surface
- Dynamic Balance - Stable Surface
- Dynamic Balance - Unstable Surface
Training Principles for Phase 4[edit | edit source]
- Movement Retraining Advanced
- Big 4 Exercises - Advanced
Training Principles for Phase 5[edit | edit source]
- Advanced Strength Training and Postural Stability
CRITERIA FOR DISCHARGE FROM PHYSICAL THERAPY
Resources[edit | edit source]
- Lumbopelvic Ryhthm
- Lumbo-Pelvic Guidelines
- Lumbopelvic Manipulation Technique
- Lumbar Instability
- Exercises for Lumbar Instability
